AboutGym themed team-Dragons
Created by ashscompanionwill
this team is my first ever gym challenge team.i have decided to get off with the dragon type, which is my favourite type.my dangerous and deadly weaknesses to watch for are ice and dragon,so i will get in a move like stone edge or something to defend my self with.Tiers are ignored, but i cannot use legendarys like rayquaza,for example.

1) Garchomp is Uber. As is Salamence now.
2) Charizard and Gyarados are not Dragon type.
That aside, you have a rather large SRock weak. I'm not entirely sure why you're leading with DDNite, as it's likely to get killed by any Focus Sash lead /and/ they'll get their rocks up as you DD.
SpecsMence should be Modest, and should not have a horrible Speed IV. Not sure what's going on there. Anyway, from personal experience, SpecsMence makes a pretty good lead. Not only does it auto-Intimidate other leads, it actually beats some other leads. OccaGross is always 2HKO'd. Swampert is almost always OHKO'd by Draco Meteor, but if it doesn't OHKO, it's very likely to Ice Beam you.
I'd reccomend SubBDSalac for Charizard, but your lack of a Spinner means Charizard probably won't be doing anything at all before dying. Charizard without a spinner fails at life.
Outrage > Dragon Claw on Flygon. Flygon has base 80 Attack, it's going to need it.
Leftovers > Expert Belt on Gyarados. It actually has the bulk, and Intimidate, to use it.
All in all, this looks like a gimmick team that will not do well. SRock completely ruins you, which is very easy to setup with your lead that does nothing to stop it. My mistake, Flygon has base 100 Attack. Still needs Outrage, if it's going to sweep. That and surely fire punch is superior to Flamethrower if you're going to DD.
And Garchomp does probably need DD tbh, I don't know who you tested it on. If it doesn't need it, then it certainly should have it at any rate. Why kill most things when you can kill almost anything. Problem is that Garchomp doesn't /learn/ Dragon Dance. It does get Swords Dance though, and after a single SD, it 1-2HKOs the entire OU metagame, which is partially why it was sent to Uber.
Fire Blast is actually best on Flygon, since it 2HKOs Skarm and Forry, while Fire Punch doesn't. Ah...that one...I knew that...
Fair enough, didn't think of that. I tend to assume it's better to stick to one thing. I said that i ignored tiers. And I said I couldn't ignore them, and then I rated the team as normal. tbf richard, it's his team, it's not constructed with any particular rules in mind, if he's creating a league or something it's his decision what the rules are. Metagame tiers don't need to be applied to something local True. I didn't hold it against him though when rating it, I just pointed it out for his own knowledge and benefit.
