Definitely get rid of acrobatics, it's completely redundant to have 2 flying type attacks on the same pokemon. Run brave bird and flare blitz. Also, since when does garchomp fear aggron? Earthquake from garchomp easily 2HKO's any aggron. Plus any mach punch will totally kill aggron's chance of sweeping.

I'm in in case you missed kamina's post

How on earth is not following Smogon's tiers one of Reborn's biggest appeals. That is the worst thing about reborn. I agree in keeping pokemon such as garchomp and ST chandelure, ect. because they are not game breaking and can be easily countered. However, this whole mess with evasion and the admin being too damn stubborn to ban it and start throwing out mutes or bans every time somebody tries to have a mature discussion about it. This has to end. Evasion is literally unfair and requires tactics to counter it that are far from viable in the OU metagame. It requires you to run certain pokemon or moves on every team just to counter this one facet of the metagame. That to me is the definition of a game breaking aspect of a game and taints the metagame. Almost everyone on Reborn (except Crep) agrees that evasion teams are unfair, damn near uncounterable, and require no skill to use. They are a horrible representation of the metagame and make it ridiculously unbalanced. A change needs to come about. I would like any authority to reads this to PM me so I can hear your thoughts and we can have a civilized discussion about this GLARING issue. Thank you.

Type coverage is awful with this team. Any steel type can run through this team after donphan is gone and if they have a balloon then donphan can't even deal with it. You need some sort of stall breaker as well.

Silver that is fine that they used to be calm mind and swords dance sets but you cant have non-attacking moves on a scarf set because then you get locked into them and become unable to attack your opponent. So if you are going to keep all the choice items you have to make it so they have all attacking moves.

Alright looks A LOT better after the edits. Galvantula: I would advise using hp ice instead of volt switch so he isn't figuritively (or maybe even literally) pooped on by gliscor, landorus, and dragon types that will use you as setup fodder like dragonite and salamence. Ferrothorn: Looks good. Gigalith: If you are intent on using gigalith than its fine. In my opinion there are many better stealth rockers out there, but its ok I supose. Braviary: I would use a scarf set myself since scarfed braviary is really good and besides galvantulla, you have no pokemon who are fast without boosts. However if you perfer the raw power of the choice band versus the abilty to outspeed your opponent, then I can't stop you. Bisharp: I would go with the set listed Trait: Defiant EVs: 252 Atk / 160 HP / 96 Spe Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Substitute - Sucker Punch - Brick Break Subsitute makes bisharp extremely difficult to revenge kill. A bisharp with one or two swords dances behind a sub is a nightmare. Anything that tries to touch bisharp gets put down with sucker punch. Brick break is to hit steel types that wall the bisharps that run iron head and gives bisharp great coverage. If I'm not mistaken there no type bisharp cannot hit for neutral damage with this set. I also reccomend leftovers to improve bisharp's survivability while trying to get up subs and set up SD's. Golurk: Looks good. Team looks good to me. If I were you, I would replace gigalith with something else to set up rocks. It just kinda seems like a wasted slot to me. You could use something like a specially defensive heatran which can set up rocks and still have a use after rocks are set up. Specially defensive can spounge hits and deliver some nice damage as well. Actually now that I think about it, this team has one HUGE weakness that is also very common in the OU metagame: terrakion. Terrakion can effectively outspeed and OHKO every pokemon on your team with a scarf, except for golurk, which has a good deal of weaknesses, making it not difficult for your opponent to go out into something that can deal with him. You DEFINITELY need to find a counter for terrakion. However i would like to mention that terrakion can be killed by bisharp if he has a sub up . I personally like golurk a lot, but it seems that a landorus or landorus T would GREATLY benifit this team. It could deal with terrakion and also function as an effective rock polish sweeper (if thats what you wanted. If not he can definitely run an effective scarf set). Those were just my thoughts. I like the team, there are just some holes that need to be patched up for it to be taken to the next level. Initially, I was going to give it a 7.5 out of 10. However that severe terrakion weakness leaves it as just a 6 out of 10. I would be happy to rate it again if you posted an edit.

You know that choice items make it so you can't switch moves right? So why are you running calm mind on a scarfer and swords dance on a scarfer?

Mantric just seem outclassed by jolteon in almost every way. The only real thing manetric has that jolteon doesn't is overheat. Which forces manetric to switch out the next turn anyway. Also on porygon 2, might i suggest using discharge over thunderbolt cuz it has a higher chance to paralyze. Overall I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. I understand what you are trying to do with ninetales by ruining weather teams, but to me, it just seems like a wasted team slot.

Too lazy to write a pokemon-by-pokemon review at the moment, but I suggest running giga drain on gengar in place of energy ball. Giga drain has nearly the same base power as energy ball and giga drain provides a small form of recovery.

That is true. However, you could switch ferrothorn for something along the lines of aromatherapy tangrowth or tangela and keep tentacruel. Just a thought.

Dayum dude, I want your dreams XD. Ik I don't really know you, but I'm on the server almost all the time so... was I there?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JENAY STAY!
