is this a good AG team? (sticky web + flinching + serene grace)

Question

Galvantula @ Focus Sash
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunder
- Bug Buzz
- Thunder Wave
- Sticky Web
Galvantula is a very good leader. It can use sticky web to lower speed whoever is on the ground. If the opponent is faster or a dragondance user (and things like that), it use thunder wave first. Thunder hits pretty hard, and Bug buzz can bypass substitutes

Espeon @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Dazzling Gleam
- Stored Power
- Psychic
If the opponent is gonna put some entry hazards on my team (or status moves), Espeon can deal with that. Then i set up with Calm mind, kill everything with Stored Power. Psychic for some threats if there are not enough Calm mind for Stored Power. Dazzling Gleam deals with Dragon, Dark.

Breloom @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Spore
- Mach Punch
- Leech Seed
- Rock Tomb
Breloom is scary because of Spore. Leech seed is very helpful to get full health if stealth rock is on (focus sash will not be wasted). Hit hard with Mach punch + Technician and Rock tomb is for things like rayquaza.

Meloetta @ Assault Vest
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 SpA / 92 SpD / 164 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Focus Blast
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
Dont know why people tend to forget that Meloetta is a Normal-type pokemon (Meloetta is on the field and Marshadow sets up SD then Shadow Sneak). Assault vest gives Meloetta 500+ base Spd and then she can stop a bunch of special attackers. Dazzling gleam - Dragon, Dark, Fighting. Focus "miss" - Steel, Rock, Ice, Dark. Shadow ball - Ghost (Marshadow)

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Fire Punch
- Drain Punch
- Body Slam
When there is no threats left on the opponent team, Jirachi will just sweep them all with Iron Head. Fire Punch is for things like Ferrothorn, Drain Punch is for Chansey, Blissey (and HP), Body slam is for things that is still faster than Jirachi

Shaymin-Sky @ Choice Specs
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Air Slash
- Earth Power
- Seed Flare
- Healing Wish
And the ace of the team is Shaymin-Sky. It can hit huge damage with Air Slash (get 'em flinched), Seed Flare is for some scary things like Kyogre and Earth Power is for Groundon (also Heatran). Healing wish is the last option for some dangerous situations

Comments

My problem with this team is seeing how it is better than a Baton Pass or Mega-Ray+Pdon+Primal Kyogre team. :P

---

Baton pass - it depends on luck :P 3 Focus Sash mons will try to hit 'em as hard as possible (baton pass teams are annoying as hell)
MRay - Thunder Wave first, then Rock tomb or Dazzling gleam
PGroudon - Spore, then earth power
PKyogre - it's easier than the others (scarf Kyogre is the real deal, this is a battle with 3 of them https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-901618395 )

Staka isn't asking how you'd defeat those teams. He/she/it is asking why you're not using those teams. So why are you not using Groudon and Arceus?

---

oh i got it. I just want to see how good a serene grace team is and how these pokemon in my team deal with ubers (most of the times shaymin is the last pokemon)

---

By luck, do you mean you need luck or they need Luck? Because every Baton Pass team I've used or fought has had some sort of viable strategy, non dependent on luck. Also, many Baton pass teams Use substitute, which can prevent your Sashed and statusing Pokémon from being effective. :P

Some things to consider:

You have more special attackers than Physical attackers, so that may be something to think about. :P

Your Strategy is countered badly by D-Dancers like Salamence and Zygarde, as they can use Substitute. :P

You will have trouble dealing with Grass type Pokémon, Fast Pokémon, and most bulky Pokémon. :P

---

of course it depends on my luck :P

All BPteam's leaders i have seen are Smeargle, Eevee, and Driflim (which my Galvantula can do something with Bug buzz and Thunder). I also haven't seen a DD Salamence with Sub yet (paralyze it)

Jirachi, Breloom are physical attackers, and Psyshock Meloetta is counted, right?

Speaking of bulky pokemon (Ho-oh or Lugia), Air Slash and Iron head are the best choices for me :P (Jirachi got a Lugia flinched to dead). Grass type (and Fast) mons are not really a big threat.

This team's biggest fear is Defog Arceus (and there is a bunch of them in AG) :P

---

I think your Pokemon simply don't have good enough stats. Someone with a standard AG team can simply predict your Galvantula lead and use a defog Arceus to stop it from setting up. Stealth rock breaks all your focus sashes. You can try to switch Espeon into stealth rock, but most stealth rock users can simply 2HKO your Espeon and then use stealth rock. Without focus sashes, your Pokemon get overwhelmed by common threats, such as Rayquaza and extreme speed Arceus.

---

yeah, Defog Arceus and then Espeed is the biggest threat of the team. I always try to paralyse it and kill it as soon as possible. Rayquaza is harder to predict what they are going to do

---

You would do a lot better if you got some Arceuses of your own.

---

If it’s anything goes, specifically, might I suggest you use someone banned to AG (Rayquaza, Necrosma)
