you know you're a noob if you use copycat to roar the whole match and forfeit when i actually decide to think.. http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-53313674

you know you're a noob when you don't make a move for the rest of the battle hoping the other person leaves out of frustration...pretty sure that's why they do it, its happened to me 3 times within the hour. You have to put the battle timer on and wait for it to time out!

So, I made a team and had some success then found out that psychic pokemon as well as fire(specifically ninetails) are major problems. I need to learn some more OU meta and some better team building. there must be this latios on my team though. Latios @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef Modest Nature - Draco Meteor - Psyshock - Surf - Roost he is a beast I love dragon type pokemon, if there is any way to base a team around that...it would be awesome, the battling is what i can do, as long as i think Hukuna had a small in hand in making that awesome latios who has effectively sweeped a team before as well as taking a lot of hits.

i've won 3 now and i added you on this website, and i wouldn't mind battling you sometime

team becomes a success with donphan http://gyazo.com/0eb5a1d545eeba3442ee0168cadba9e2

thanks hukuna, i have been reading into team building a bit and i do understand what you are talking about when it come to being prepared for the rain which gives damage boosts to water pokemon and for swift swim it will increase speed. As for spin support i'm not exactly sure, i grabbed it for entry hazards such as toxic spikes and spikes, as stealth rocks won't be as big as a problem for me. Finding a balance for defense and offense is a concern of mine, it is one thing i am looking out for in my post

Instead of Hippowdon i would think that either donphan or mamoswine would help. Donphan because of his very high defense and because of rapid spin and sturdy. Donphan @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Stealth Rock - Rapid Spin - Earthquake - Counter or i can go with mamoswine who is slightly faster, could do a tiny bit more damage and has a lot more hp but with slightly lower defense Mamoswine @ Leftovers Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 252 Def / 248 HP / 8 Atk Impish Nature - Earthquake - Stealth Rock - Substitute - Endeavor

It is supposed to be a bulky offensive team, mostly offensive... I don't quite know what pokemon work best with eachother so I put this together, should I turn this team around and make it sandstorm based or something? Or should I find someone who would work better than hippowdon with this group. I will switch out latios's item and switch out acrobatics on scizor.

Ok, i want to know if it is well rounded, i want to know what could make it better, what weaknesses i could fix, i want to know how to make it better in general..as i stated i'm new and i'm not entirely sure what works best with what
