Smeargle Focus sash

Trait: Own Tempo

EV's: 252 Hp/4 spD/252 Spe

Jolly Nature (+ Spe), - (Atk)

  • Spore
  • Sticky Web
  • Stealth Rock
  • Rapid Spin

    Smeargle acts as support for the other team members. It puts pokemon to sleep to allow for free switches. Slows pokemon down & weakens them upon switch in to ensure a successful sweep from the other team members. Smeargle also spins away hazards to allow Pokemon like Arcanine to switch in and out freely.

    Arcanine Choice Band

    Trait: Flash Fire

    EV's: 252 Atk/4 SpD/252 Spe

    Jolly Nature (+ Spe), - (SpA)
    • Flare Blitz
    • Wild Charge
    • Close Combat
    • Extreme Speed

      Banded Arcanine is a monster and it appreciates the sticky web because of its Base95 speed stat.
      Flare blitz can 2HKO so many pokemon in ou and the priority in the form of extreme speed is a big help to all of the pokemon on the team to finish things off.
      197Umbreon.png
    Umbreon Leftovers

    Trait: Synchronize

    EV's: 252 Hp/4 Def/252 SpD

    Calm Nature (+ (SpD), - (Atk)
    • Moonlight
    • Substitute
    • Toxic
    • Confuse Ray

      Umbreon is the king of toxic stall with its amazing base 130 special defence stat it can stall out many special attackers and confuse physical attackers and allow you to switch into something that can better deal with it.

    Toxicroak @ Expert Belt

    Trait: Dry Skin

    EV's: 4 Hp/252 Atk/252 Spe

    Adamant Nature (+Atk), - (SpA)
    • Swords Dance
    • Sucker Punch
    • Cross Chop
    • Poison Jab

      Toxicroak gets helped A LOT by the sticky web. Usually enough to allow for it to sweep a entire team after its checks are taken out by the other team members & the addition of the fairy type just gives more reasons to use this powerhouse.
      715Noivern.png
    Noivern Choice Specs

    Trait: Infiltrator

    EV's: 4 Hp/ 252 SpA/252 SpD

    timid (+ Spe), - (Atk)
    • Air Slash
    • Boom Burst
    • Dragon Pulse
    • U-turn
    Noivern is FAST which means it can quickly get rid of anything that is a problem for my team. Also infiltrator allows me to take care of any pokemon that are trying to hide behind a substitute.
    065Alakazam.png

    Alakazam @Alakazite
    Trait: timid
    EV's 4 Hp/252 Spa/252 Spe

    Psychic
    Focus Blast
    Hidden power fire
    Shadow Ball

    Mega alakazam is just way to powerful once its brought in the other team is done there are few things that can take a hit to this thing and thats why it is a very important member of my team

    Threats: aigeslash is a problem but once its gone the team works well

    Intended use: this team is loaded with sweepers because all you have to do is get rid of any counters then sweep the rest of there team with the appropriate pokemon

I really enjoy this team. Just a few things:
Most of your members are fast enough as it is, Mega Alakazam puts Modest Nature to use better then it does with Timid. Either that or give Noivern Modest, it could use the extra-damage help.

Secondly, your team is quite balanced. Switch into Arcanine for Fire attacks, Toxicroak for Water, and Umbreon for Psychic (a huge threat to Toxicroak).

You need to be careful when switching in on Physical Attacks, as Umbreon is more Special then Physical, though it can still take the hits.

I am quite happy with this team, as usually I sit here coming up with a list of threats and replacements, but so far all I have come up with is Talonflame, which is not even too big of a threat. It is unaffected by sticky web, (both Gale Wings and it's Flying Typing), and it can OHKO 3, maybe 4 of your team members. Smeargle if they have Rocks, same with Noivern. Alakazam of course, it's defense isn't anything to boast about, and also Toxicroak. Maybe, just maybe Arcanine if rocks are up, although I am too lazy to run it through a damage calculator and see. I guess Smeargle takes care of Rocks (if Talon doesn't kill it on the switch in).

Suggestion(s):
Noivern is a weak link, it can't deal out enough damage even if it can outspeed and sneak past subs like no tomorrow. It leaves the sweeping job all up to Alakazam for the Special Attackers.
Options:
-Lati@s, a common fast and strong pokemon. Modest/Specs on Latios, Timid/Lefties/Specs on Latias. Latias is a support SpAttacker and Latios is a Special Sweeper.
They add a second Dark type weakness, but not much to fret considering only 2 Pokemon will be weak to it, and Alakazam has Focus Blast if it finds a need to be used.
-Greninja. The Life Orb/Expert Belt Greninja that has struck popularity due to it's ability and stats (mostly it's ability): Protean
Running Grass Knot, Extrasensory/Spikes (for Fighting/Electric Types who think they can hit you), Scald/Hydro, and Dark Pulse. It really depends on you, since every move is STAB, you don't even need Water and/or Dark type moves. It may be a glass cannon, but it hits harder then Noivern, although it is just a tad slower.

I really love your team though!~
