This team needs serious, serious work. Twist is good, but yours are mostly ugly, with no offenses.
Smeargle
The ugliest twist ever. Please, please, don't attack with it. Please. I implore you. Its more than abysmal 20 Base Attack should tell you why. Silk Scarf STAB Trash +132 EV ATK is not enough for doing serious damage. Own Tempo is not adding to that anything, anyway. Please, use better sets:
Smeragle @ Leftovers:
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Speed / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Stealth Rock
- Spore / Ingrain
- Magic Coat / Baton Pass
So here's how it works: Sticky Web makes your team a lot more capable of sweeping because the speed drop it induces at the entry of opponents is just enough to make them slower than yours, which is just perfect. Magic Coat ensures that Taunt and the likes, I mean, Status against you get bounced back right to the opponent. Without this, your team will have problems dealing against hazards. Spore induces Sleep, which is deadly on sweepers, factoring that they will switch. Due to new mechanics, you may think Spore has lost in glory, but it hasn't, because it can still force out the foe: With speed loss and sleep, they will want to escape. That's why you have Stealth Rock: Make the sweep easy, nice, prepared and almost unstoppable. Stealth Rock will make them think twice before the switch, because they risk much more for the newcomer. Instead of Magic Coat and Spore, if you don't predict well, use Ingrain and Baton Pass for making the best use of the rate's surprise.
Mega-Charizard Y
No! This doesn't work. It adds an unwanted *8 weakness to Fire for Ferrothorn, and makes Jolteon and Smeargle frailer, while only profiting for itself. Imagine that you are forced out by Whirlwind: Another Pokemon comes in, and that one is not pleased by the Sun, because you have no Sun Abuses. Change it quickly to some underwhelmed yet strong Pokémon: Mega-Garchomp, which is the rate's surprise.
Garchomp @ Garchompite:
Trait: Sand Force (Rough Skin)
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Speed / 4 Def
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Outrage
- Fire Fang
Play your king carefully. Use it as a Garchomp if Ingrain is not up, because boosted Garchomp dislikes being forced outta the way. Dancing with the Stars Swords takes this truck's attack to unequalled levels. Earthquake and Outrage are the strongest STAB you have here, and they suck. Fire Fang is a coverage option against Ice. Mega-Evolve it once no Defog / Rapid Spin is up, and once Sticky Web and Ingrain Support are ready, then proceed to the sweep. It can rip through unprepared teams.
Donphan
The hesitation slot should anyway be Ice Shard for the priority, plus the KO against Salad. Otherwise, fine.
Jolteon
It is not that strong nowadays. Thundurus outclasses it so give a try to the Therian form of it:
DISCLAIMER: If it changed to Ubers, keep Jolteon.
Thundurus-T @ Expert Belt:
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Speed / 252 SAtk / 4 Atk
Naive Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Superpower
- U-Turn
- Grass Knot / Hidden Power {
ICE}
The wallbreaker set for our transformed genie makes it able to get past its past walls, such as Celebi, Chansey or Hippowdon, the three of which are respectively dispatched and beaten by U-Turn, Superpower and Grass Knot, which's choice is better than Hidden Power nowadays, when Hidden Power's base power is hampered to 60, which is simply OK. I think I said it all in one sentence, just Thunderbolt is STAB.
Ferrothorn
I'd replace it now that you have your hazarder by anything you'd like. As I see your team needs a specially orientated wall, go for Chansey.
Chansey @ Eviolite:
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Light Screen
- Wish
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss / Protect
I used a such Blissey at Leftovers in Pokemon Battle Revolution, and it was boss, stalling out Giratina, Kyogre and Mewtwo in the same battle. It uses a combination of Light Screen, Toxic and Protect to stall to death. Light Screen boosts its defense to uncompared levels, and supports the rest of your team very well. Toxic will make your opponent want to switch for avoiding the stall, fearing again Smeargle's setup. Wish will be amazing for replenishing your teammates's HP. The choice between Seismic Toss and Protect is not that though: I would run Protect; But Seismic Toss deals 100 HP, which is sometimes enough to kill weakenned threats.
Gyarados
I love it. Gyarados is overlooked at this role, but its bulk is naturally good enough for this, and Chansey support makes it even better.
At a last glance:
Ice Weakness, so you may want to keep Jolteon, if you want. Then, slap into it Specs.
Hope this helps.
~ Sincerely Yours, Blitz of Justice.
