Is this a good Pokemon X team for competitive gameplay? How should I change it to make it better?

Question

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Impish Nature
- Roost
- Toxic/Toxic Spikes
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake

Gliscor with Poison Heal combined with Toxic Orb is OP! It can heal itself every turn! This Gliscor is mainly suppsoed to be a Physical Tank, or a Bulky Physical Sweeper. Roost is to heal up, combined with Poison Heal makes it amazing. Toxic/Toxic Spikes are just supposed to be for support. Acrobatics will do less damage because it is holding the Toxic Orb, and I am considering to change it to Air Slash, but Acrobatics can 2 Hit KO many Pokemon. Earthquake is there as coverage and because it is such an amazing move that goes quite well with Gliscor.

Roserade @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
- Magical Leaf/Leaf Storm
- Dazzling Gleam
- Sludge Bomb
- Rest/Giga Drain

Roserade is the main Sweeper, and you may notice that my team is full of Special Attackers. The Rocky Helmet is just there to put some extra damage in there, but the main part is its ability Natural Cure. Magical Leaf is a reliable STAB move that does a decent amount of damage. Leaf Storm is there as an alternative, however after using Leaf Storm, Roserade will have to switch out because of the loss of special attack. Dazzling Gleam is there, to surprise your opponent and to take care of pesky Dark and Dragon types. Sludge Bomb is used as another good STAB move to rely on. Next I have Rest/Giga Drain. Rest combined with Natural Cure is very efficient, as Roserade can rest, then switch out to another Pokemon, come back and be back in the action with full HP. Giga Drain is another alternative to recover HP.

Yanmega @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Shadow Ball
- Giga Drain/Protect

Yanmega is the Speedy Special Attacker of the group, The Life Orb can boost its moves to add extra power. Yanmega's ability Speed Boost can slowly build up its speed, to eventually become an incredibly fast ninja! (I was originally going to have Ninjask instead of Yanmega). Bug Buzz and Air Slash are there as great STAB moves to dominate all his foes. Shadow Ball is there as coverage. Giga Drain could be used as coverage to take care of its main weakness (Rock Type) effectively, however Protect can be used to scout the opponents moves and to get another dose of Speed Boost.

Sylveon @ Leftovers
Ability: Cute Charm
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psych Up
- Draining Kiss
- Moonblast

Yet another Special Sweeper. Sylveon is the Bulky Special Sweeper, or Special Tank of the team. It uses leftovers just to add to the recovery it can recieve from Draining Kiss. With Cute Charm infatuating many Pokemon, Sylveon can easily turn into a Special Beast, if Calm Mind is used to get buffed up. It can also copy the stat changes of other Pokemon with Psych Up, which in some cases can be extraordinary! As I said, Draining Kiss is for recovery, and Moonblast is an amazing STAB move that can easily destroy Dragon Types.

Tyranitar @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake

Here we have Tyranitar, who is literally the Physical Destroyer! After setting up with Dragon Dance, when his Attack is doubled, he can destroy almost anything with a combination of Stone Edge, Fire Punch and Earthquake. What makes him even better is the fact that he can Mega-Evolve, which brings his attack to an even better level! Sand Stream as an ability can easily assist you in racking up the damage and finishing off weak Pokemon.

Starmie @ Expert Belt
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Surf
- Thunderbolt/Pyschic
- Ice Beam
- Rapid Spin

Finally, we have Starmie, who is yet another Special Sweeper, as well as a much needed Spinner. The Expert Belt is there to add more damage, and he can easily turn into the Stat Change Sponge with Natural Cure. Surf is just another STAB move. Thunderbolt can be used to take care of fellow Water Types and Flying Types, and Psychic can be great coverage, as well as an amazing STAB move. Ice Beam for coverage against more types, and finally the most important move: Rapid Spin for getting rid of annoying hazards like Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes.

Thanks in advance for any support you give, as I really must decide what I should do to this team. Overall I think I have too many Special Pokemon, and I should create a mix, and maybe throw in a Cleric, Spiker, Hazer or Pseudo-Hazer. - That Snazzy Gamer :D

P.S. This is supposed to be a Post-Game team.

Comments

Ice is a huge problem you can't really deal against. Gliscor, Yanmega and Roserade are weak to it and you have no resist bar the frail Starmie. Outside of Tyranitar, you lack a good physical sweeper and a good answer against Ice. Ditch Acrobatics on Gliscor, it is not doing more damage than Aerial Ace since there is no item loss; use Knock Off instead for breaking the foe's item. A Pokemon without scarf/lefties is much easier to face anyway, isn't it?

Answer 1

You are correct, you have way too many specials. And as RecreativeReshiram pointed out, you have no answer to Ice. I will make some changes and you can see what you like

Gliscor:
I'll be honest I don't like him much, but I have seen it destroy so I am just going to alter the moveset a little bit. Arial Ace is much better in this case.

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Impish Nature
- Roost
- Toxic
- Arial Ace
- Earthquake

Roserade:
Since you need more physical pokemon and need a way to deal with Ice, I thought that replacing Roserade with a Weavile would do nicely.

Weavile @ King's Rock
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Att / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
-Fling
-Night Slash
-Brick Break
-Ice Punch

Brick break is your Ice coverage while Night Slash and Ice Punch are STAB. Fling allows you to bring an opponents HP down without risking the fragile Weavile getting hit.

Yanmega
Another guy that I don't particularly care for. Lets trade hime out for something that can smash ghosts, dark, and psychic!

Mismagius @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Modest Nature
EVs: 252 SAtt / 129 SDef / 129 Spd
-Nasty Plot
-Pain Split
-Dazzling Gleam
-Shadow Ball

Nasty plot allows Mismagius to make a mess, Pain Split is good recovery / damage, DG covers Dark and Dragons while Shadow Ball is STAB

Sylveon
You asked for a cleric, but you already have one on the team! Just need to fix the moveset up a little bit.

Sylveon @ Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 SpAtt / 129 HP / 129 Def
-Hyper Voice
-Shadow Ball
-Wish
-Heal Bell

Sylveon is one of my favorites and I have the set down to an art. Pixilate Hyper voice breaks everything while shadow ball covers. Wish and Heal Bell keep your team alive and status free.

Tyranitar:
It's fantastic don't change a thing.

Starmie:
Fantastic set, especially since Sylveon can now help keep it alive.

Comments

K I'ma be honest here. There are many things wrong with this rate. Though I'm gonna say this: Weavile isn't an ice counter. Too frail.

Thank you for this rate! I really appreciate it when someone puts in the effort to do a full team rating!

Mismagius is inferior to Gengar all the way. Weavile is not an answer to ice; to fight that, a Steel-, Fire-, Fighting- or Rock-type can deal more decently, depending on the specie. Aerial Ace on Gliscor is not a move I like a lot but I see what you want to do with it.
