Oh Noz, Starry's Battling XP

Okays. This is a doubles battle tower team. I've never actually made a team before, so try to criticize constructively. Not planning on using this against real people, but I still want it to be as good as it can be. I made this a few weeks ago, and now that I'm looking at it I'm kinda questioning the EV spread on Starmie. But anyway, critique and help are much needed. Oh, and I'm willing to replace anyone on the team except Swellow - Starry MUST have a swellow on her team. I can work with the moveset and all, but me wants a swellow.

Several things, make sure you add descriptions to your RMT to make sure it's easy to follow and pictures would be nice too.

Tr4q posted an improvement that I assume you liked. If you did and you want it on your team you should edit it onto your RMT so other plays can see what set you are now using.

Thirdly, you didn't post a full RMT. That's not a huge problem but you didn't exactly ask us to help you fill in the space or give us guidelines we must follow for those missing Pokemon.

Gengar doesn't have the bulk to get a Rain Dance off. You're better off running Explosion and move those 4 ev's into Attack. This doesn't exactly OHKO Blissey but does quite a fair bit of damage.

If I can, I'd like to suggest some things for your final spots. You might want a Blissey killer which can be the bane of Rain Dance teams. For the last spot you might want a Swift Swimmer to fully benefit from the rain.

Examples of swiftswimmers:
Kingra, kabutops, and ludicolo.

I'll try to add descriptions, and will change the Swellow.

Notice that this is a Battle Tower doubles team, hence there are only four spots.

And thanks for the tips.

thats a pretty good team to me. since it's the battle tower and doubles i dont know much about it but it seems good
