Are Uber Pokemon allowed in those championships?
Also, completely wipe away Blizzard from Lapras, Roar of Time from Dialga, and Fly from Charizard. During the first turn of the last 2 moves, the opponent has time to set up strategies against you, and this could be extremely dangerous to your team (Examples include Stealth Rock, Spikes, Dragon Dancing opponents, such as Gyarados/Salamence, etc.). Blizzard's accuracy is unreliable, and you already got Ice Beam Lapras, so putting two moves of the same type is utterly useless. I will add my other comments on this team later, since it requires a lot of time to mention everything to improve about it. Sorry, but it has really many flaws.

First of all, your Lead sucks. You can't just have an attacking Pokemon straight away. Use Smeargle in a way where you can induce status to your foe and some entry hazards. Also, never ever use Roar of Time, as it is harmful instead of useful. Remember that it misses sometimes and paralyze you for the next turn. I suggest to go to www.smogon.com and learn about leads instead of just creating a useless and weak one. Then, I recommend you to change Charizard. Although it is quite good in attacking, it can be knocked out very easily. Remember that half of its HP is gone if it switches out when Stealth Rock is in game, giving your foe a chance to knock out your Pokemon very easily. Also, don't use moves that take two turns, as it gives your foe a chance to switch to another Pokemon. Blast Burn is just as bad as Roar of Time for the same reason. Again, check smogon for a better set for Charizard. The third Pokemon is rule breaker. Garchomp is an Uber and is forbidden in standard battles and tournament. You can get banned for this. Change this Pokemon. The last one is a good Pokemon but with two ice moves. Keep Ice Beam for better accuracy and use Surf for another STAB. Rest and Sleep Talk are a good combination. I hope I helped, and please, if you want your team to be competitive, then state the nature, EV and anything that helps the members to rate your team. Also, don't give us blank moves, but you can instead give us choces of what you think. Next time you don't create your thread in a good way, it will get closed. Sorry. |

Charizard isn't necessarily a bad pokemon, but it loses half of its health every time it switches in an Stealth Rock is in play. Pokemon that take this kind of damage have to be able to really assert themselves, like Yanmega. A pokemon like Infernape or Heatran work if you like fire types, but if you want to keep Charizard I suggest giving it a Life Orb and teaching it mixed moves, like Fire Blast (charizard needs the extra power) Earthquake, Brick Break, Air Slash, or Focus Punch. Unless your playing Ubers, Garchomp isn't allowed  I suggest using a pokemon that can sweep well, like Scizor or Salamence, but Salamence is a bit iffy because of all the Stealth Rock Damage.Lapras is also a good pokemon, but suffers from Stealth Rock damage. Lapras has a bunch of options, like a Curse Set (Curse, Waterfall, Ice Shard, Rest), and special set (Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Toxic) or even a Dragon-Dancer (Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Return, Zen Headbutt, Ice Shard, Substitue) Sorry, but its hard to tell what your going for because of the lack of info about your team. Good luck in the championships though!!

I love smeargle.
Smeargle (UNTRAINED) @ Focus Sash -Trick Room -Spore -Lock on -SHEAR COLD (snip snip) It goes without saying, just use in order, and make sure you switch in a tank (Lapras) and not a sweeper after, so trick room doesn't backfire. Or setup smeargle~ @focus sash -Trick room -Spore -Defend order/agility/nasty plot/amnesia/iron defense/howl -Baton Pass Same as before, but switch quick, and ev in defense, just in case The others are hopeless(Gyrados+Surf=FAIL), although adamant and modest natures should do the trick, but a defense increase in lapras may help as well.
