RE: In-game Team Rates
Hey. I got White and am having difficulty figuring out an in-game team.
There is no doubt that
Samurott
Simisear
will be on my team. I need you to pick four of the following, no two the same types, for me to use. Also, it would be greatly appreciated if you could say why (briefly). Thanks for the help if you offer it!
Unfezant
Sawsbuck
Braviary
Conkeldurr
Mienshao
Scrafty
Swanna
Garbodor
Scolipede
Leavanny
Escavalier
Cofagrigous
Klinklang
Ferrothorn
Whimsicott
Lilligant
Eelektross
Reuniclus
Vanilluxe
Haxorus
Hydreigon
Liepard

Pokemon: Serperior
Item: ?
Nature: ?
Move 1: Giga-Drain <== For STAB and some healing
Move 2: Leaf Blade <== Also for STAB and fairly high power
Move 3: Coil <== To raise stats quite high
Move 4: Dragon Tail/Anything you want <== Serperior doesn't have a very good move-pool so Dragon Tail for type coverage
Don't go for a mixed attacker with Smuglord.
I really recommend a special, but physical is fine too.
If you want special, than go for
Modest
Energy Ball/Leaf Storm
Mega Drain
Hidden Power (only if Fire, ice, or electric)/Leech Seed
Solarbeam/Frenzy Plant
If looking for physical,
Adamant
Swords Dance (highly recommended)/Coil
Dragon Tail
Leaf Blade
Aerial Ace
However, what I prefer beyond any of the former is this:
Bold
Leech Seed
Substitute
Mega Drain
Toxic/Gastro Acid/Attract/Torment (on leads only)/Reflect/Light Screen/Double Team/Protect
Yeah.

First of all, whoever uses Cocaine Weasel is wrong. Get rid of your Watchog. It's really not that worth it. Replace it with a.... a..... anything that's not Normal.
Idk about your Whimsicott. I mean, if it weren't for Prankster, I feel like nobody would have a Whimsicott. I mean, Serperior, where both its abilities suck, has the same speed that Cott does but defense 30 points higher and Sp D 20 points higher. I think it's a "serperior" choice.
Your Axew.... is wrong. Get a new one. Nothing relies on Rivalry. Seriously, it's terrible. Why you wouldn't use Mold Breaker is beyond me. Also, the moveset is awful. Go for
Outrage
Swords Dance
Dragon Claw
X-Scissor/Aerial Ace.
^^^ Two Dances and this will kill everything. Heck, it could kill everything with one!
Focus Punch on such a slow Mon is terrible. Shadow Punch is not the best option. Substitute is.... Meh? I feel like you don't really need it on Golurk. Replace them with Focus BLAST/Ice Beam (depending on preference), Shadow Claw/Ball, and Heavy Slam/Stone Edge (again, depending on which teams you'll be facing) respectively.
Swoobat is.... awful. Hate to break it to you, but it's defenses are just terrible and it's offenses are jokes as well. Get rid of it for like.... A Musharna at least or a Reuniclus.
I've never personally owned a Reuniclus, but it's more worthwhile than durpy batmon.
My Musharna knew:
Psychic
Hypnosis
Nightmare
Moonlight
^^^ Yeahhhhh it killed every fighting type without a lick of damage. It's an excellent wall.
Eelektross, I'd have to say, is the only worthwhile Mon on your team (discounting Axew, if it ever evolves). Get rid of Thunder for Thunderbolt (not sure why you had Thunder in the first place). Wild Charge is not suitable for something that should sweep. Also, Crunch is great, but mixing is just.... eh.
Phys:
Crunch
Crush Claw/Thunder Wave (depending on what you're going for)
Brick Break
Wild Charge/Dragon Claw
Spec (the only real choice):
Flamethrower
Thunderbolt
Thunder Wave
Toxic
If this is an in-game team, that's great.
If it's a competitive team (which, it really shouldn't be) then it needs a lotttt of work.
Thanks in advance
