IMPROVED team of keen-ness. (RU!!! :D)

Question

Bouffantalant (Bouffalant) @ Sitrus Berry
Trait: Reckless
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Head Charge
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
- Wild Charge

Still the star of this wonderful team, Bouffantalant wrecks everything with his totally OP moveset! Head charge has 1/3 recoil, and with all that hp, it wont effect Bouffalant that much. This bulky sweeper has wild charge for good power, and only 1/4 damage. Earthquake is for coverage, and Megahorn does good too. The sitrus berrt regains health in a time of need.

Ask Ninja (Ninjask) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Protect
- Baton Pass

You know the drill: Protect, Swords dance, Protect, Baton pass, TA-DA! Buetimous! X-scissor is for when i need to do damage. I baton pass to Gallade usually. Bouffalant can always sweep with the stat boosts, and maybe I could even baton pass to Kabutops. The end.

Grass lizard thingy (Sceptile) @ Life Orb
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Focus Blast
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Substitute

What is Sceptile? I don't know, but it can make one heck of a sweeper. I will switch into Sceptile if they have out Probopass or something. Then I can use my substitute and start using attacks like Giga drain and Focus blast. The coverage of HP ice will annoy them 'till their brains fall out. Also, Overgrow, Giga Drain, and Life orb work great toghether because i get that huge power boost, and Sceptile heals before it takes life orb damage.

Happy Face! (Spiritomb) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
- Dark Pulse
- Calm Mind

This is a tank. I think. Happy face is your everyday annoyer, with Willowisp, and pain split. When it's not healing up with pain split, its using Calm Mind. Then it can attack with a powered-up dark pulse. Ain't that kewl? %]

Eat your veggies (Gallade) (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Leaf Blade
- Ice Punch
- Zen Headbutt

Once Gallade gets the baton, it will attemt to sweep with powerful attacks. Drain punch is to heal. The health will prevent loss from priority moves. Zen headbutt for stab and maybe some flinch hax, Ice punch for coverage, or I can just teach 'em to eat their veggies with a 90 damage Leaf Blade.

Pickles (Kabutops) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Stone Edge
- Aqua Tail
- Stealth Rock

Pickles' job is to use rapid spin to knock away stealth rock, and then set up rocks. If there is no rocks on our side, and he has used stealth rock like a good little man-eating stingray, and he still has a teeny bit of life still in him, he can do some damage with Stone Edge and Aqua Tail.

Long ago, Jellohamster's team tried to live in harmony
Then everything changed when the fire type pokemon attacked
Only the normal types, lacking weakness to fire could stop them
But when the team needed them most they vanished

Many sweeps past and Lombro suggested a new pokemon
A water type named Slowking
And although its bulk is great, the team still requires a lot of revision before its fire fighting problem is done

But I believe a Bulky water can save your team.

---

+1 for the Ninjask name.

---

-1 cuz i hate Nick...

No serious now bewre of ScarfLosion's Scarfruption.

---

Monster Fire Weakness, no way to deal with Sleep Status, struggles against Scarf Emboar especially.

I would liat suggestions but I don't want to replace hakf your Team...

---

Good team but tbh it doesn't deserve an up vote for that fire weakness

---

It's just not the Fire weakness, this team can't hardly take any hit whatsoever. Bouflant is just going to kill itself on recoil, Accalgor and Ninjask have terrible bulk and Linoone lack both bulk and resistances. And even if Sceptile and Escavalier have some few resists to save you, they lack recovery and stats to take a hit.
What this means that it's not just Fire that's going to, quite frankly, destroy you, but virtually any decently powerful attack from any type. Fighting, Psychic, Dark, Water, Electric, Ghost, Flying, Dragon, Ice, Ground, Rock, even offensively horrible types such as Steel, Poison and Normal is going to wreck you. And when every type in the game threatens the team to some extent, you have a massive problem. Based on that, I have to say this team won't fare well under any circumstance whatsoever.

---

Furthermore, the very balance of this team isn't very great. You got 4 physically oriented Pokemon, of which only 1 can hope to damage Steelix and Aggron, meaning you will be walled into Oblivion itself by those two or any dedicated physical tank/wall for that matter. And add the less than ideal offensive types of your team you will not only get wrecked by the half of the tier, you will be walled by the other half.
Moving on from that, your team is quite weak to all types of hazards as well, meaning the kamikaze like strategy of Bouflant, Scaptile, Ninjask and Accelgor is going to be even less effective that what it already is.
And one final thing, the Unburden strategy on Accelgor and the Endure/Reversal on Escavalier is going to be incredibly difficult to pull of, simply due to their own fragility and your overall big weakness to common priority moves such as Mach Punch and Sucker Punch.

---

See if I care, that Ninjask name made me laff. Ha.

---

Oh, it is fire-weak. I'll fix it!

---

Also there's the flying weakness. Can't forget flying.

---

Augh, I forgot sprites again. I'll add them later.

---

Guys, its pretty apparent (and blatantly obvious) that he just threw this Team together.

---

Well, yeah! Isn't that what your supposed to do?

---

No.

Ray Rizzo doesn't just throw his VGC Team together.

---

Most people spends hours honing and perfecting a team. The least one should do is take basic synergy into account. Of course you can just throw together a bunch of your random favourite Pokemons and call it a team, but don't expect winning to much.
