Hi IncognitoWorld!

This forum isn't really suited for posting a thread with just a team. You should try the RMT forum instead (link to the correct subforum here). Please make sure you follow the rules of the section (such as posting three lines of description for each Pokemon). In the meantime, I'm locking this thread.

As for the team itself, there are some things that look good and some that don't. Indeedee / Torkoal / Armarouge is a fine core, but all three could use set improvements - in particular, Indeedee really wants a damaging move, and all three Pokemon want Protect and different items. Walking Wake is fine, though Assault Vest is a little odd and you're never going to actually land a Hurricane in Sun. I've linked the sample sets for all four of those Pokemon. Ceruledge and Dachsbun meanwhile are... not good. Neither of these Pokemon are particularly well positioned in the metagame, and while I hesitate to call them downright bad, the team would be greatly improved with some more traditional picks. You can check out a rough list of Pokemon ranked by their strength in the format in the Viability Rankings thread. Personally, if I had to narrow down a few stronger picks, I'd choose two out of Amoonguss, Iron Hands, Tornadus, Diancie, and Hisuian Lilligant. I'm not you, and I don't want to pick the direction the team goes in, so I'll leave it at that.

Hi, while we’re happy to give team feedback, a post like this does not require it’s own thread, so I’m going to lock this. Instead this would be a better fit for the ask questions here thread or in the RMT subforum that specializes in giving team feedback. In the future, I’d recommend you read through the DOU Forum Rules, and the overall Smogon Rules before posting.

That being said, I’d make your indeedee-f the sample set, as it doesn’t need speed to click follow me and trick room. Then the Ceruledge seems like a weak link, and would probably be better as Flutter Mane. Lastly, I’d give Torkoal lava plume over eruption, that way it can activate flash fire on your Armarouge & Well-Baked Body on your Daschbun.
