Question

Marshadow @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spectral Thief
- Close Combat
- Shadow Sneak
- Ice Punch

Marshadow is a well good Attacker and I use Spectral Thief to take all the enemy boosts. and i use ice punch for the flying type because fight type is weak against flying type..

Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Leftovers / Weakness Policy
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Sunsteel Strike / Toxic
- Earthquake
- Morning Sun / Knock Off

basically i send out this pokemon first bc it has a stealth rock.. and i use toxic and knock off too!

Yveltal @ Leftovers / Heavy-Duty-Boots
Ability: Dark Aura
EVs: 252 HP / 32 Atk / 224 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Foul Play
- U-turn / Toxiic
- Defog
- Roost

i use defog to well if there is like toxic spikes, sticky web, spikes, and stealth rock..i use u turn or toxic if my Necrozma-Dusk-Mane

Kyogre @ Choice Specs / Choice Scarf / Leftovers
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Water Spout / (If u use leftovers) Subsitute
- Origin Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Thunder / (If u use leftovers) Calm Mind

Choice Scarf doubles Kyogre's Speed, ensuring it can fire off Water Spouts at full power. At level 50 and a Choice Scarf boost, Kyogre's effective Speed stat is 234. This lets Kyogre outspeed Pokemon with base 151 speed or lower..but i still haven't got the choice specs info..

Melmetal @ Focus Sash / Assault Vest
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Thunder Punch
- Double Iron Bash
- Darkest Lariat
- Ice Punch

well this pokemon has a good HP and Atk but it's no good at Def so i use focus sash...

Zygarde @ Expert Belt / Leftovers
Ability: Power Construct
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Coil
- Thousand Arrow
- Dragon Tail
- Extreme Speed

Coil do increase 1 Atk, 1 Def, and 1 Accurary.. i actually want to use sword dance but Zygrade can't use sword dance... i use Thousand Arrow so it can hit flying type or like some electric type with wonder guard and air balloon

Comments

Can you add a few lines of description for each Pokémon other than the traditional explanation of only the moves, as described in the rules? It would help a rater to answer.
And Melmetal is not viable in AG. Necrozma-DM is a better defensive Steel- than it, and also as an offensive Steel-, Necrozma-DM outshines it. A few of the Pokémon don't have suitable sets, you're better off using the sets in the Smogon dex and the samples.

Thousand Arrows is better as a Ground type move on Zygarde as it also hits Flying-type pokémon. Leftovers is a better item on it, while Kyogre is better off with a Choice Specs / Choice Scarf.

i dont really copy someone else thing yk so i made it by myself not from someone

This isn't a full rate, but something there are two main things that stand out to me here:
1. The team is lacking counterplay to Zacian-C. It threatens to 0hko 4 of your pokemon from full(Marshadow,Yveltal, Kyogre and Zygarde). Melmetal can be ohkoed by CC after a tiny amount of chip damage as well. NDM can be 2hkoed by Assurance into CC on the switch.

2. The choices for items and moves is strange in many cases. They are as follows:
a. Why Earthquake over Thousand Arrows on Zygarde?
b. Why Expert Belt over Leftovers on Zygarde?
C. What does darkest lariat on Melmetal hit that your stab doesn't hit harder?
d. I reccomend scarf or specs Kyogre on your team.

---

Please give more details on the teambuilding process and why you chose the pokemon you did. Your descriptions only convey information that is completely obvious.

---

okay..ill update it

---

1. Run boots on necrozma dusk mane. This stops Zacian-C from wrecking it with assurance.
2. I reccomend you to replace Melmetal here with Ferrothorn. The team struggles to switch into Kyogre, and Ferro provides a good check to that. It spikes have good synergy with your attackers, and it has good defensive synergy with NDM.

---

No FS on Marshadow? You dont really want to get outsped and ohko'd on your only real answer to hyper setup. Anything else I think has already been said.

---

Please type in "/rfaq marshadow" in the AG chatroom on Showdown! for why Focus Sash is a terrible item on Marshadow. There are already a lot of sash marsh on ladder and we don't want more of them.

---

Ok.. i'll change Melmetal to Ferrothorn if u say so!!! but.. i alr have Necrozma-Dusk-Mane and it's for the main to tank so what do you say?

---

It's fine. Ferro backup checks Xerneas.

---

eh what do u mean

---

since you have all attacking moves on melmetal i think you should change item to assault vest it increase special defense by 1.5x.

---

okay! tyyyyyyy

---

By that,  I mean to say that Ferro checks Xerneas is case NDM gets heavily chipped or faints.
