What I've gathered from the last 3 replies is that I will add energy ball to other options and maybe slash grass knot with petal blizzard. Any objections?

Waiting on QC's.

Okey Dokey.

So, while looking at ORAS's updated learnsets I saw that Maractus can now learn Spiky Shield. Should I change anything? What about any new moves it learns?

Thanks for the help! I think the only format difference I had was the number of pound symbols and the capitalization of some words yeah? Also, I tried following the format of other analysis I see but I didn't think everything had to be that exact! XD Anyway, thanks again and keep these...

Update: Overview has been swapped in placed to order points from most important to least important.

Edited with Dat Blast's advice. My examples for Pokemon that enjoy Spikes are Feraligatr still, Magmotar, and Primeape. Please feel free to suggest others.

Psssssssst... my Maractus analysis is calling to you.

I really appreciate the suggestions and the explanation, but I'm fully aware that Maractus is best used as a Spikes user (in fact I'm doing an analysis on him at the moment). However, I have a Spikes user already in the form of Froslass and also, I've played around with my set and it can work. I...

Well, I dunno how viable it would be but maybe have Grass Knot in other options or something. Being able to get rid of the bulkier Water and Ground-types is always useful!

I had no idea Lum Berry also cured confusion! The more you know! I think I'll follow your tips!

So, when I first started competitive Pokemon this generation, I just made individual Pokemon and mix and matched roles and make balanced teams. This is my first team I actually thought about. This is a very mixed tier team OU, UU, PU, etc. made out of mostly out of Pokemon I already had. So here...

From how much I've used Alakazam, I've noticed it can't take just about any physical attack without a Focus Sash. Maybe wanna put physical sweepers in C&C or something along those lines.

Woah, I dunno why I thought Skuntank was in NU... thanks for pointing that out! Replacing Skuntank with Serperior unless there's better examples in NU.

Thanks! Why didn't I think of hariyama?

Alright, I've changed some bits and bobs but I'm not too sure what would be a good example of a Fake Out user other than maybe Liepard. Could use some suggestions.

Still waiting on comments and QCs folks.

Thank you very much! I'm still new to this as you could probably tell. Funny enough I had Taunt and Toxic in checks and counters originally. Guess I'll get them back in. Edit: Also, if Maractus cannot beat a Pokemon in anyway, that opposing Pokemon would be both a check and a counter, right?

I completely understand that this all needs work as I'm completely new to analysis's and I appreciate these tips and suggestions. My original set I had was what I thought of as viable, but now I'm told differently and will change the sets, UT, TO, etc. accordingly. I hope I'm not causing a...
