Analytic, thanks for keeping this thread somewhat alive. however, i don't like
your rate that much. yes, you stated a few weaknesses that the op's team had, but you never actually suggested anything to fix them. all you did was either piggyback off another user or suggest changes without giving any proper justification beyond the fundamental info that most people should already know. using an example from your rate (thundurus outspeeds mega diancie and hits hard), you didn't do anything to get the op to consider your suggestions at all. rather, all you did was tell him something he probably already knew. this is bad because you want the op to consider your suggestions, not throw them aside. another thing you should do when making rates is that you should step back after making a suggestion to see how your changes affect the team you're rating. if you find that your change opens up new weaknesses, then go on and fix those too.
about the team itself, a simple change that you could have suggested to improve his team was mental herb > focus sash on scolipede, which would give scolipede the opportunity to pass its boost(s) to heracross, even in the face of mons w/ taunt.
tl;dr: justify your suggestions, and don't use the fundamental information people (should) know as justification.
once again, thanks for submitting your rate here and sorry if i sounded a bit cold in this post. if you (or anyone else, for that matter) have more questions about team rating, please feel free to vm / pm them to me. have a nice day!
