I'm using this team for WiFi Double Battles on Pokemon Battle Revolution and I want to see if anyone can help me make it a little bit better.


Houndoom @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Overheat
- Dream Eater

Dark Pulse (Provides reliable STAB)
Flamethrower (Provides more reliable STAB)
Overheat (If you plan on switching soon. It's great for extra power, and Gengar's support helps it)
Dream Eater (Gengar provides Hypnosis support and is faster. This is a good combo, although its risky)


Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Giga Drain
- Shadow Ball
- Hypnosis
- Will-O-Wisp

Giga Drain (Heals off Life Orb damage)
Shadow Ball (Hard-hitting STAB)
Hypnosis (Supports Houndoom's Dream Eater)
Will-O-Wisp (Supports Houndoom's Flash Fire)

Gengar and Houndoom both play the same role. Like 1 pokemon, they have pretty nice coverage in their little team, and have provided me with fairly well balanced matches.


Rhyperior @ Leftovers
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
- Stone Edge
- Hammer Arm
- Avalanche
- Earthquake

Stone Edge (Best STAB)
Hammer Arm (Ice coverage mainly, and other Rock types with Earthquake)
Avalanche (Grass coverage)
Earthquake (STAB and covers five types)


Dragonite @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Waterfall
- Brick Break
- Roost

Dragon Claw (STAB)
Waterfall (Coverage)
Brick Break (Coverage)
Roost (Healing)

These two are my physical tanks. They wall a lot of attacks with some nice type coverage together, just slowly beating the life out of my opponents


Machamp @ Expert Belt
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 Atk / 160 HP / 96 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dynamic Punch
- Bullet Punch
- Poison Jab
- Rock Slide

Dynamic Punch (STAB and confusion)
Bullet Punch (Priority!)
Poison Jab (This actually works often with the Poison Hax)
Rock Slide (I like the hit all and flinch, and it's Flying coverage)


Empoleon @ Life Orb
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
Naive Nature
- Signal Beam
- Aqua Jet
- Blizzard
- Drill Peck

Signal Beam (Bug, Ice and Water make for great coverage)
Aqua Jet (Priority, saves you a lot)
Blizzard (Low accuracy, but hitting both opponents with this power and not your teammate, is amazing)
Drill Peck (Physical coverage)

Machamp and Empoleon are my Mixed + Physical, high power but not too much speed Pokemon. They're normally my leads.

Gengar-Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Dark Pulse, Shadow Claw.
Houndoom - He looks great
Rhydon - Good as well:)
Dragonite - Dragon Rush.... bad accurace, replace with Dragon Claw.
Machamp - Stone Edge hits and flinches too, so you don't need Rock Slide. Replace it with Bullet Punch (for speed)
Empoleon - Blizzard and Aqua Jet - replace Blizzard with Grass Knot, Ground types are annoying for him... Aqua Jet for Aqua Ring..
Hope this Helps:D

Umm, I like the thought, but first off, A. Houndoom already knows dark pulse, and teaching gengar that wouldn't make alot of sense, B. Shadow Claw is a physical attack so it wouldn't hardly do anything because most gengars have high special attack, and my modest gengar isn't really a physical hitter , C. I use my gengar as a grass type without grass weaknesses, I put him and rhydon in at the same time so rhydon can earthquake as he pleases and gengar can take out any opposing water types with energy ball, or if they are weak and he needs health giga drain, I definetily agree on the dragon rush though, it has missed almost every time I've used it. I already have all of these guys, so breeding my machamp for an egg move would be a pain, plus I use rock slide, because it hits more than one person, and I don't have someone to trade back and forth with at the moment, and then with empoleon, I use blizzard not only to take out dragons, but also because it hits both opponents, I use aqua jet for when someone is almost dead and I need to take them out quick, You did give me some good Ideas, so thanks for posting your opinion.
Yeah, she's not inexpirienced, but she's not a world of help either...
