    Local Tournament...thoughts on my team?

    Just entered a local tournament...just curious about anyone's thoughts on the team I'm going in with (changes to be made in the future etc.) I have a few different teams I use and this is the first team I've used this combination.

    Donphan - Sturdy
    Earthquake
    Rock Slide
    Rapid Spin
    Hidden Power (Bug)

    Ferrothorn - Iron Barbs
    Gyro Ball
    Toxic
    Seed Bomb
    Stealth Rock

    Porygon Z - Download
    Tri-Attack
    Thunderbolt
    Hyper Beam
    Psychic

    Yanmega - Speed Boost
    Bug Buzz
    Air Slash
    Protect
    U-turn

    Gengar - Levitate
    Hypnosis
    Dream Eater
    Shadow Ball
    Ice Punch

    Kingdra
    Dragon Dance
    Outrage
    Waterfall
    Ice Beam

    Give Ferrothorn Leech Seed instead of Toxic and replace Seed Bomb with Ingrain. Maximize Special Defense and HP with EVs, and give it Iron Defense instead of Gyro Ball. Let it hold Leftovers. It is a good Special Wall, and once you use 3 Iron Defenses you will be set and ready to stall anything. Use Ingrain so they can't send you out and then Leech Seed. You'll recover a lot of health. And then when they die from your drainage (16 turns), They will hit Stealth Rocks. If you are impatient like me you should replace Stealth Rock with Toxic but it's your call.
    Take away Donphan's Hidden Power. Give it a Physical Attack instead...
    No U-Turn on Yanmega! Give it Shadow Ball and Ancient Power instead of U-Turn and Protect. You'll get good coverage like that.
    Hypnosis is inaccurate and annoying to set up every time you need a Psychic-Type Move. Give it Psychic and Thunderbolt instead, and Sludge Bomb replaces Ice Punch.

    I may replace u-turn will shadow ball but I like Protect because it's an automatic speed boost. But thanks for the thoughts I really like the ideas for Ferrothorn.

    Lol I've been doing a personal "study" on how to effectively create a wall. I focus on drainers. Just be careful around common taunters (just a heads-up, Mandibuzz, Absol, and most Dark-Types) because as soon as they use taunt, you're dead.

    ok I might think about having it know power whip so it has a direct way of attacking thanks for the heads up

    What are their natures, Evs, and Ivs? Those are major components in a competitive team.

    in·fa·mous - /ˈinfəməs/
    Adjective - Well known for some bad quality or deed - Wicked; abominable

    To hunt for the IVs of 6 Pokemon is pointless and a critique can also suggest natures and EVs if they don't have the Pokemon yet

    Well it is fast, so if it recovers, it will also lose HP in that same turn, making that a waste... It also doesn't have the defenses to do agility, which it doesn't need since it's already fast. I also wouldn't put Life Orb on Porygon-Z. I do agree about Hyper Beam though! It should have a different attack there. I'd do Shadow Ball
