Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Rain Dance
- Spikes

Outruns Electabuzz after Rain Dance - Not Electrode.

Hypno (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Insomnia
EVs: 228 HP / 136 Def / 96 SAtk / 48 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

Meganium (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 96 SAtk / 40 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Roar
- Sleep Talk

Was originally a Beller. Messing around with Sleep Talk + Roar seemed kinda cool though. In light of this, I may need to start using Vileplume over Meganium to absorb some of the Toxics.

Fearow (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Keen Eye
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Double-Edge

EVs: 52 HP / 124 Spd / 192 SAtk / 140 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
- Toxic

Speed for surprise Substitutes. I'm completely unsure of the EVs.

Compare it with its older version:

Seems to work for me lately.

Hypno (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Insomnia
EVs: 228 HP / 136 Def / 96 SAtk / 48 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Light Screen

Status gets boring on this sometimes.

EVs: 236 HP / 148 Def / 44 SAtk / 80 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Body Slam
- Hidden Power [Grass]

Body Slam was originally Earthquake. Debating on that slot, as well as HP Ice over Leec Seed.

Meganium/Omastar/Altaria

No reason to use Fearow then theres a lot of stuff that is just.. better.
Unless I'm missing something obvious.

Watch out for Pinsir (I guess that's a reason of why Fearow is there...) CM Restalk Psychics like Slowking, Hypno and Grumpig might give you trouble also.

Scyther over Fearow?

Meganium (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 236 HP / 148 Def / 44 SAtk / 80 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Leech Seed
- Light Screen
- Synthesis

Just an idea -- You could trade this in for some offense using Victreebel. HP Fire / Sleep Powder / Solar Beam / Sunny Day -- sounds like it can work well. You wouldn't be neglecting the ability of Victreebel either, which you are doing here with Meganium. (Not like Overgrow is amazing, but it sorta suggests that Meganium should get a Grass attack.)

But I do see the purpose of HP Ice with Leech Seed...to put a (small) dent in those Grassers and help wear them down with Spikes. I can't say how well that strategy has worked for you, though.

Altaria (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 96 SAtk / 40 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Roar
- Sleep Talk

Stick to Heal Bell to help cure Hypno especially of status. Sleep Talk is a silly thing to rely on when Altaria has Natural Cure. Sure the opponent can telegraph the Rest, which is why you could try Perish Song instead of Roar to create a less risky switch-out. Although sometimes the non-immediacy of Perish Song's effect is less preferable than the immediate phazing provided by Roar.

Since when does Defense on Altaria help? Is it designed for Gligar specifically or what? It still can't help much against STAB Rock. Altaria is mad good at surviving Special attacks in order to phaze, which is why I normally suggest +SDef.

A STAB Earthquake somewhere is never a bad thing. The best you can muster is Fearow's HP Ground. There's no comparison. A solid Ground type is always welcome on teams, IMO. You could use a Rock resist too. Quagsire (obviously) comes to mind since it counters Tentacruel.

Just an observation -- Your team leans toward the Special attacking side. Substitute Grumpig can block status and Calm Mind sweep. Even Smogon doesn't list great counters for it in Grumpig's R/S analysis. I'm going to start using it HARD!!! Seriously, Altaria can fend it off only for so long. Hypno will likely lose to it unless it has Seismic Toss. I can see Taunting Misdreavus as being different enough typewise and defensive enough to make it on your team (if you're keeping Hypno as is.)

If I were making the team better, I'd consider replacing Lanturn, Fearow, and Meganium with other pokes to cover more threats.

 

[Umby]

Yeah, that Meganium set was a suggestion from another user I know. I probably need to punch more SAtk EVs in to make it as effective as I want (barely capped 23% into Vileplume), but it seems like it could work well. Victreebel would be awesome, though.

 

[Heysup]

Ohhh it seems i have started a trend!

Well there is a Very good Physical Victree bell with sleep powder swords dance sludge bomb and giga drain/hpgrass if you are worried about getting special walled(other hypnos can still hurt with psychic and sleep immune).

And Fearow is a VERY good Choice band in uu if not the best its definately one of them, because it has a Very powerful stab return/Double-edge. Drill peck usually OHKOs vileplume/meganium its fast and has quick attack. What makes fearow a better cb then scyther is the fact that scyther doesnt have a real stab attack(silver wind has a power of 60, hidden power bug does more).

Also, imo you should pick either Lanturn or Hypno as they are pretty much both walls.

P.S. you stole my omastar

 

[Umby]

Definitely have used that Oma countless times before.

 

[Heysup]

Yea whatever ^_^
