Speaking of Shadow Tag and Arena Trap, Wobbuffet is OU in Gen 5.

Jaxen
Is that your wifi team?
Looking at it, I assume that you don't have Pokegen :/

With Lucario, you should drop Dig and pick up Swords Dance. You really don't want to use dig in a metagame where every team has Earthquake.

If possible, you should replace your Scrafty's Bulk Up for Dragon Dance. He's much more threatening with DD.

Rampardos gets Head Smash, doesn't he?
If so, you should drop Thunderbolt for that.
If not, you should drop Thunderbolt anyway. It's just plain terrible on Rampardos.
And replace his Earth Plate with a Choice Scarf.


And you should just drop Raichu and Emboar

Jaxen: Your team doesn't have a Lead.

I wish Cresselia had better recovery, Moonlinght is terrible rtight now because of all the Rain and Sand.

A lead? Leads are for people who have to have strategy and can't just do.

If you hate leads that much use an Anti-lead. Boosting then attacking an opposing lead doesnt work well with the common use of Focus Sash. Its best to use Fake Out then attack since the sash will then be useless.

quote Toast

Anti-leads are things that use Fake Out or priority instead of Hazards like Weavile, Ambipom, and Dragonite. They try to defeat the opposing lead before they can attack and can work as revenge killers later on.

quote RazeHell

I agree with Jaxen, but for a different reason.
With fifth Gen and Team Preview, having a lead is redundant, since your opponent can easily predict your lead and present a counter for it.

You dont put your lead in first unless what you're leading with is really odd, like Miltank. You should put a sweeper that can be a lead, like Infernape first, then have your actual lead somewhere in the middle.
