RU Team Needs a Little Tweaking

Hey guys this is my RU team, I think it's pretty good honestly but I think it could use some tweaking by those who know more than I do about RU.

[animate]aerodactyl[/animate]
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Unnerve
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Spe/252 Atk/4 HP
Moves:
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Aerodactyl's my lead, I really like it. The moves are pretty standard I think, and sash has proven really helpful. I'm not sure which ability is better or if it matters much. I'm also not sure if EQ would be worthwhile to be replaced with an elemental fang for coverage.

Item: Choice Band
Ability: Skill Link
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Spe/252 Atk/4 SpD
Moves:
- Bullet Seed
- Rock Blast
- Tail Slap
- Wake Up Slap

My heavy hitter. Skill Link is awesome, and I think Technician is too risky with this kind of set. WU Slap hits quite a few things supereffectively and hurts with band. Bullet Seed and Rock Blast are for coverage, and Tail Slap is nice STAB. Life Orb or Choice Band?

[animate]lanturn[/animate]
Item: Air Balloon
Ability: Volt Absorb
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 SpA/252 HP/4 SpD
Moves:
- Thunder Wave
- Scald
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Bulky Sweeper and has two immunities until Balloon is popped. No speed investment... yeah. I think t-wave compensates for that a bit. Maybe Leftovers is a better option here? The other moves are decently powerful and have perfect neutral coverage (I think).

[animate]bouffalant[/animate]
Item: Sitrus Berry
Ability: Sap Sipper
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SpD
Moves:
- Head Charge
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Megahorn

Yes I know that's two normal types on my team, but I really love Bouffy. Lanturn's only weakness is Grass, so switch in this guy for a free boost whenever you predict a grass/sleep move. Sitrus Berry has been useful for some instant healing when Bouff's HP is getting whittled away. I have not bothered with speed investment because his speed is so lackluster anyway. Head Charge is stupid powerful, and the other moves are powerful, yet not too accurate (barring EQ), coverage moves.

[animate]accelgor[/animate]
Item: Bug Gem
Ability: Unburden
Nature: Modest
EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
Moves:
- Bug Buzz
- Focus Blast
- Yawn
- Encore

This guy's like twice as fast as Sonic, especially after Unburden. XD Bug Buzz + Bug Gem can get me a nice hit and then Accelgor becomes the fastest Pokemon in the game I think, or at least in the tier. If your opponent ever uses a status move, then Accelgor is your go-to poke. You can Encore lock stuff which is pretty good. Yawn I have never used much so I might want to switch it for a Hidden Power or something. I will not not not use Spikes on this thing.

[animate]dusknoir[/animate]
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpD
Moves:
- Shadow Sneak
- Substitute
- Will O Wisp
- Pain Split

MOAR IMMUNITIES! XD Bu seriously this guy is MVP. Just a stinking wall, so annoying to opponents. I really like it. Everything about him seems good to me, and it makes my team have SIX immunites. Shadow Sneak is actually really useful a lot of the time, but maybe another attacking move would be better.

Thanks for reading pleas leave me some feedback!


wait how do I get the poke images?

You need to search for images on Google/etc., then put the links within
tags. Sprites (animated or not) or pictures work.

Looks good, but if you could add a sentence or two to the first three Pokémon and Dusknoir, that would be great. Some of the sentences are fragments.

alternatively, you can switch the tags to [animate] with the pokemon name in lower case (not all were there, though, last I checked. If you're looking for reliable animated pics, Pokecheck is a good source.

I'll be back to rate later
