Pokémon Rate My Team

Got bored and decided to ask for a team rate. :P

This is for Balanced Hackmons, if you have a tragic disorder that prevents you from seeing titles (I think it is called Laziness). You can find details for this by typing /om balanced hackmons in a Showdown! chat or by clicking these Links; although, I'd prefer a rate from someone more experienced in this format than myself. I am using a Gimmick in this set; it is fine if you can replace it for something more reliable, but I'd rather you improve it if you can. :P

*Gimmick (Rattata-Alola) @ Zoom Lens
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 10
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Haze
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Memento

This is Alolan Ratatta because it is immune to Photon Geyser and Moongeist Beam. Still vulnerable to Sunsteel Strike. The Level 10 is so that it has enough HP fully heal from a Leech Seeded Shuckle and out speeds -Speed Shuckle. If it is replaced, I think Prankster or Dazzling would be the best Abilities for an new defensive Pokémon, preferably with Heal Bell, Stealth Rock, and or Will-O-Wisp. :P

Lord Frieza (Mewtwo-Mega-X) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Superpower
- V-create
- Psycho Boost
- Knock Off

Contrary sweeps/boosted sweeps in general are often the wincon of most teams (others being Prankster/Unaware Haze Stall and Impostor revenge killing), so what better boosted sweeper then Pokéfrieza? :P

Perfect Zygarde (Zygarde-Complete) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Haze
- Shore Up
- Core Enforcer
- Thousand Arrows

0 Speed is so Mr. Perfect Cell here can be out sped and nullify Abilities with Core Enforcer more effectively. This thing can tank a Moonblast from Xerneas (and since boosts don't matter, Xerneas can't really kill it without an Ice move, which isn't that common as far as I am aware), and is my boost slayer. I chose Unaware over Prankster so that Zygarde can switch into a boosted sweeper rather than having to revenge Haze and lose a member. :P

Shenron (Rayquaza-Mega) (M) @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Triage
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tail Glow
- Oblivion Wing
- Giga Drain
- Aeroblast / Spacial Rend / Moongeist Beam

Not sure if I want Aeroblast to hit Dazzling Fairies, Spacial Rend for non-redundant STAB, or Moongeist Beam for utility and coverage. I think my item may need a change as well. :P

Big Puar (Necrozma-Dusk-Mane) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Impish Nature
- Sunsteel Strike
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic
- Shore Up

Defensive Hazard Cleaner and Preventer. Has Toxic to kill things faster. :P

needs a good nickname... (Diancie-Mega) (F) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Boomburst
- Extreme Speed
- Tail Slap
- Diamond Storm

Pixilate makes Extreme Speed and Boomburst a Killer combo. Tail Slap is for sub/sash, and Diamond Storm is for coverage+def boosts. It has assault Vest so it can Contend with Chansey/Blissey's defenses if Impostered. :P

I agree with many of your pokemon choices!

I do not agree with having a rattata in your pokemon team of legends.
Rattata although with its stealth rock move, is not that good.
Necrozma can learn stealth rock (just helping) so you can include something a bit better on your team.

Also, you can only have 252 evs in two stats for it to get the four to one ratio from ev points to your pokemon.
You have a max of 510 evs. (Having 252 evs on 4 stats is impossible)

Keep up your good team!

That is because I am playing a format called Balanced Hackmons. You can read a little about the rules here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/balanced-hackmons.3587475/ :P
I'm pretty sure Aegislash is a much better stealth rock user because it has better defenses and less weaknesses.
