well you have 3 poison types on your team :/
That means you could get owned by psychic....but I'm not all that awesome so I'm not really sure what to suggest... but yeha just look into switching those out for something that does the same thing but has a different type

here is a team that i may start working on...
what do you guys think?


Pokémon: Miltank (normal)
Position: Subpuncher
Ability: Scrappy
Nature: Adamant
• Substitute
• Focus Punch
• Heal Bell
• Milk Drink


Pokémon: Muk (poison)
Position: Special Tank & Physical Sweeper
Ability: Sticky Hold
Nature: Brave
• Poison Jab
• Sludge Bomb
• Gunk Shot
• Toxic


Pokémon: Kingdra (water/dragon)
Position: Sniper
Ability: Swift Swim
Nature: (???)
• Dragon Pulse
• Ice Beam
• Brine
• Agility


Pokémon: Typhlosion (fire)
Position: Special Sweeper
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Mild
• Lava Plume
• Flamethrower
• Eruption
• Thunder Punch


Pokémon: Butterfree (bug/flying)
Position: Shuffler
Ability: Compound Eyes
Nature: Timid
• Whirlwind
• Toxic
• Stun Spore
• U-Turn


Pokémon: Gengar (ghost)
Position: Special Sweeper
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Lonely
• Ice Punch
• Focus Punch
• Psychic
• Substitute


(btw, this is my first time really trying to build a strong team, any suggestions you have would be great ^u^)
Here's my two cents. If you're going to use Typhlosion, add some variety to his attack set. 3 Fire attacks? That's 2 too many.

I would lose the Butterfree period. Even at level 100, it's not ranked very high in speed, and it's fairly fragile.

Also, like Jovey stated, a little more variety couldn't hurt. There aren't a lot of types that poison pokemon can resist, but they are weak to some of the most common attacks you'll face in competitive battling, Earthquake being a common staple in most teams.

If you're going to use a pokemon as a wall or staller, make sure that when you switch it in to soak up an attack, you're going to take the least amount of damage possible.

I'd also rethink your natures, with either an emphasis on speed or their respective attack stat, unless they're a wall, then you want to focus on natures that increase their defenses.

And your movesets should also reflect the role of the pokemon in battle. If you're going to stall, the staller should have moves that let it stay in the battle longer, either by increasing defenses, or restoring HP.

In the case of your Kingdra, you have it listed as a "sniper" I'm assuming you're going to use that for critical hits. In that case, I'd give it moves that had high critical hit ratios to begin with, since the ability Sniper doesn't actually increase the crit rate, just the damage done.

But, you've got a pretty idea of where you're wanting to go with your team. Just make sure you know what your team is weak against, and if you can switch in another pokemon that resists attacks that can score super effective hits on other pokemon.

New team this time, huh?

Gengar: Immune to Ground, Fighting, Normal
Resistant to Grass, Poison, Bug
Weak to Ghost, Psychic, Dark

Miltank: Immune to Ghost
Weak to Fighting

Bronzong: Immune to Poison, Ground
Resistant to Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Rock, Dragon, Steel
Weak to Fire, Ground
(weakness and immunity to ground based on ability)

Infernape: Resistant to Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Dark, Steel
Weak to Water, Ground, Flying, Psychic

Kingdra: Resistant to Fire, Water, Steel
Weak to Dragon

Vaporeon: Immune to Water
Resistant to Fire, Ice, Steel
Weak to Electric, Grass

It's not bad type coverage. Not at all

I personally would consider replacing vaperon with lantern, as an electric type is pretty handy at most times. xP

I wouldn't go with an electric type, only because most teams tend to have a few pokemon that know earthquake.

Rather, bring along someone who can learn T-bolt or Thunder.

You may not have STAB, but those attacks hit hard regardless, as long as the user has a decent special attack rating.

And if memory is correct, Gengar and Miltank can learn it.

and Gengar has a pretty good special attack rating.

And Gengar has a nice speed stat. I agree on the not bringing any electrics, virtually any team you'll come across will have something with E-quake. STAB doesn't matter with T-Bolt either, just throw on Specs or Life Orb and have Gengar go nuts.
