Why two posts? Just curious...anyways, this team is made of fail. Not to be harsh, but the movesets are poor (that's being nice) and no EVs or natures are posted. If you want a team to counter your team, which I believe was your question, I can post a couple pokemon that could wipe it out:

Kingdra@Leftovers
Trait: Swift Swim
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Special Attack, 252 HP, 6 Speed
~Rain Dance
~HP Electric
~Surf
~Ice Beam

Eliminates your entire team...and it's UU/BL. It can outspeed all of your pokemon and likely OHKO them all too. Not to be harsh/rude, but it's the truth. To actually help your team, try this for Slaking:

Slaking@Choice Band
Adamnt/Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 attack, 6 HP
~Earthquake
~Return/Hyper Beam (the ONLY case that hyper beam or any move like it is useful: slaking)
~Shadow Ball
~Focus Punch

Slowking and golem can be walls, but not with those movesets...and you NEED walls.

...and it's UU/BL.

Kingdra is OU because of its Typing. =\

[dragontamer999]

what is UU/BU??? What are Ev?

My slaking is holding a choice band i didnt list items so people would concentrate on the movesets and btw my slakings ice beam and thunder with return and shadow ball would wipe the **** out of your kingdra he is now updated in my game. Charizard is the **** because of his speed and attack holding white herb

Altaria is holding lechi berry i dont no why he just is. hes a sweeper along with charizard

Cacturne is an annoyer with his toxic and giga drain. along with (spikes)???

Golem is just a kickass slow sweeper because he has knockout moves

UU=Underused, BL=Borderline, OU=Overused. They are ranking tiers. EV are efort values.

Slaking's SAtk is terrible and Kingdra takes neutral damage from Thunder/ Ice Beam, so that really isn't a threat. Items are part of the moveset. REturn coulcd hurt it but I doubt it will get the KO. It wil,, however give Kingdra time to set up Rain Dance, KO w/ surf

Altaria is holding lechi berry i dont no why he just is. hes a sweeper along with charizard

Leichi Berrry is for sweepers not Heal Bell/Stallers.

Cacturne is an annoyer with his toxic and giga drain. along with (spikes)???

That set could work.

Golem is just a kickass slow sweeper because he has knockout moves

Knockout moves?

You should post EV spreads, Items, and natures. Otherwise its not competitive, and therefore should not be on this board.

I know Leman covered this, but I'd like to explain my reasoning. First off, that kingdra detonates this team. Even if it fell, all good teams I know have five other pokemon. Slaking would get creamed by kingdra, especially if it was set up. Golem isn't a sweeper...it's a tank/physical wall. Or at least I thought so. Not to be rude, but that charizard sucks. Blast Burn lol. Hyper beam moves suck, so don't go showing them off. Listen, my Kingdra's special attack IV is only 15, and it would still wipe out this team. Kingdra has only one weakness, and I doubt slaking could take it out with special attacks. If you want another example, the much more OU starmie wipes out this team. Think b4 you post...really. KO moves? Yeah...whatever. Alteria is far inferior to salamence, especially as a sweeper. Also, if you don't know what EVs are, you shouldn't be posting the team, as any decent team uses EVs in training, AKA EV training. I'm by no means an expert, but I can tell you that your team is very weak. I answered your question, and there are several other pokemon that do a number to this team, so don't act like it's invincible. Check out the other threads to see how better teams are constructed. Cacturne could be an anoyer I guess, but it can't take a hit. Skarm or forry is a much better spiker. What kind of sweeper holds a white herb? Only ones receiving curse via BP to get rid of the speed drop from what I remember. Tell me, how could your slaking beat kingdra if it is faster and OHKOs it in the rain?

Well, I don't think hacking is exactly good...but the movesets are horrible, which would lead me to beleive you are a n00b. (not saying you are, just the impression we get, ya know?) If one pokemon can run over your team, it is time to scrap that team.

Well then what do you suggest? and i am not a noob im just too lazy to keep raising pokemon over and over again. I have raised plenty of teams all the way up to the high
70's countless times in previous years i just like to have everything at my disposal it makes things fun and interesting because there are 1000's of possibilities.

any suggestions as to replacement pokemon? i am going to try and clean my gameshark and see if that lets the code thru.

I'll say this once, please fix your typing and your habit of double-posting and spamming.

No, the reason you're moves are bad is because you placed bad moves there.

[shedinjask]

Why don't you post what moves you want them to have? That's what we can really rate.

Last I checked there is NO excuse for having blast burn...post an EV trained team and then we'll talk. Also, please lose that excuse about the TMs. Start your game over, simple as that. Not like you'll be losing much...I mean, why use your TMs on your ingame team? That makes no sense...and last I checked Slaking was OU...

[dragontamer999]

New team, movesets are what i would like them to be, the pokemon are what i have. I hope you guys like this team a lot better than my other team. because imo compared to this team, that other team disgraced my reputation as a pokemon trainer.Sorry about the messy word grouping i tried to seperate the pokemon and the movesets so that they would be easily readable.
