    A team of Fast Sweepers?...If someone use baton pass (dont tell me about the ninetales's hypnosis because 328 of speed is not too higher) with ninjask, combusken or others that person will crush your team. So you have to search for Walls and/or Leads/Taunters because that team will easily loose against a baton passer and other strategies.
    Let me know which Pokémon would you like to conserve and I will help you.
    Now i will be invisible again :ninja:

    I'd keep all of them but I understand what you mean. Out of all of them, I'd keep Espeon and Gyarados.

    Is choice scarf normally ran on Espeon? It seems like something more useful can be put there since Espeon's speed is massive

    This looks like the kind of team that works extremely quickly. I recommend adding a wall or 2, and it should be good. If you are interested in a battle sometime I'm generally free :D

    Not to be nit-picking, but read these rules as this team entry doesn't exactly follow all of them :x http://lakevalor.net/forums/topic/6028-competitive-discussion-rules/

    Now, I respect hyper offense, but I need to question the viability of pretty much every single one of the sets you are running besides Gyarados (not to be mean or condescending). Metronome+Recover Latias? Stone Edge Absol w/ White Herb? I'm sorry but it's a team that needs to be redone, not remodeled.

    Even while Gyarados isn't using a bad set, I'd recommend using Adamant as it hits much harder and even though it is a tad bit slower, the damage exchange is usually worth it especially since you are already using hyper offense with some speedy mons.

    If you want help on constructing the team, I'd say post in the Help section of the Competitive Discussion thread n_n

    My team is a tier shift team. I'm the sort of player who likes to hit hard and first hence the team I have. The white herb is for the Superpower to keep the attack high. Metronome is on Latias because in a game, I have usually hit with the same moves multiple times, but like I have also said, items is the biggest problem for me.

    Espeon could have trick as its last move, to cripple status givers and bulky mons. Ninetales could have Leftovers, Or Heat Rock(but the longer the sun is up, the weaker the water type-attacks). If you're running Hyper Offense have Latios instead. With a Life Orb have it use Draco Meteor, Psyshock, Roost/Surf, and HP Fire/Surf. Or you could stick with latias and get Healing Wish too, to get your injured Pokémon back to full health. Infernape could use a Life Orb too, and replace its ability with Iron Fist. You could replace Absol's Stone Edge with Swords Dance if you want, and Night Slash could be swapped with Knock Off/Sucker Punch based on preference. Make it hold a Lum Berry or a Life Orb.
