Rather have giga drain instead of hurricane for gastro and rotom-Ws. Missing a move on this mon is pretty much a death sentence. I'd also sacrifice some fire power for longevity by adding safeguard so you dont get toxic'd by blissey/chansey which are common switch ins. But safeguard is a more niche set so yeah its up to you.

I'd personally just go for the guts set because of how broken it is.

EQ is much better than brick break imo.

Thank you very much for all those answers, i will apply your tips about the move sets etc...

 

I still have some questions :

 

1) Is Dogtrio + arena trap allowed in competitive and tournaments ?

 

2) What do you think of my team ? Is it viable ?

 

Again, thank you very much guys !!

1) Yes. Just bear in mind that here in PokeMMO its attack has been nerfed down to 80 (from 100).

 

2) It seems ok at first sight. As a general rule, it will be ok if you can:

 a) have game vs Rain teams.

 b) have some checks to stall teams (specially Toxic)

 c) not be dead to the most common set-up mons (Gyarados, Dragonite, Volcarona, Reuniclus)

 d) your team does not get obliterated by Volt Switch + U-turn strategies

 

I'd say your team is good in b) and d), but I can see it struggling with a) and c).

 

Just jump into some PvP matches an you'll soon see if your team has any glaring weaknesses to any particular pokemon or team.

Not a comment on the team as a whole, but for Salamence, you'd likely be better off with a speed boosting nature. Although its purpose may be to boost its speed with Dragon Dance, if you go with adamant, your base speed is effectively 87.

 

-You don't speed tie with +speed natured Volcarona (100) and other Salamence (100) without a boost.

-You get outsped by +speed natured Hydreigon (98), Haxorus (97), Lucario (90), Gliscor (95), Excadrill (88), Darmanitan (95), and Porygon-Z (90) without a boost.

-You get outsped by +1 speed and Choice Scarf variants of the above while you're at +1.

 

If you only look only at what you actually want the Pokemon to do, you leave yourself unable to deal with matchups that you'd otherwise have no problem with when you don't have an opportunity to set up. +Speed Salamence sits near the top of a very common range of speed stats for the tier, it's worth taking advantage of.

 

A mixed set is also worth considering. With dragon only being resisted by steel and most steels being weaker on the special side, Fire Blast is often chosen over Fire Fang. It's more immediately powerful, while an unboosted Fire Fang does pretty pitiful damage. For reference, Fire Blast OHKOs fully defensive Skarmory after Stealth Rock while Fire Fang is a 3HKO under the same circumstances. Fire Blast also doesn't make contact, so won't cause damage from Rocky Helmet or Iron Barbs.
