Can anyone give me some critiques? This was my Gen 5 competitive team and I'm trying to tweak it for the Gen 6 meta. I briefly peaked at around ~1700 in Gen 5, this team has really great synergy. I like balanced utility pokemon.
The basic idea is pretty obvious - clear hazards, clear priority, dent up their their walls, and then send in Cloyster to sweep. I prefer mixed Cloyster for taking out bulky physical Steels like Skarmory and Heatran. Worked really well in Gen 5. But I'm having trouble handling Fairies (Magnezone is too slow), some Megas, priority, and I feel like not having a Mega is seriously gimping me.
Would replacing Donphan with Mega Blastoise as my spinner be an upgrade? I'd lose quite a bit of utility but gain raw strength.
I'm thinking about switching out Porygon2 as well. Love his bulk, he's a great universal check, but the threats I needed him to check are much less prominent in Gen 6 and he gets raped by status. And he gets wallbroken much more easily by Megas like Charizard and Gardevoir. I'm thinking maybe a Scarfed suicide wallbreaker?
Also what are the opinions of Lum Berry vs Assault Vest for Machamp? I use him as my lead if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance.
