The main purpose of Absol is Taunting against Stealth Rock and Countering hits of people that want to get rid of it ASAP. Mismagius is mainly a rapid spin blocker/special sweeper/revenge killer, but since I can't visit it's Smogon page I don't know if the set is any good. Venusaur is mainly for support and defense(and it uses special attacks), but I might consider Nasty Plot on Mismagius, if I can get it to last long enough. Should change around a few things for more physical power though, only Absol and Blaziken have that to some extend. I originally had a Swellow but that left me with low defenses. Making teams is hard if you haven't done it in more than a year. Any suggestions?
There is no point of using Mismaggy as a rapid spin blocker if you already have Claydol doing the job. And if you want it as a Special Sweeper, you NEED it to have Nasty Plot or Calm Mind. Just use it on a Pokemon it threatens, and as they switch, use Nasty Plot.
You don't really have enough good sweepers. Blaziken is your only one. I'm hoping you use it as a late game Pokemon, as if it dies early on, you're screwed.
And get rid of Sludge Bomb on Venusaur. There is no point of it being there since Poison is a horrible attacking type. Replace it with Block or some other move. Get rid of Power Gem on Mismaggy, too, and replace it with Hidden Power Electric or Fighting. Hell, if you only have Hidden Power Fighting and Shadow Ball on your Missmaggy, you already hit 100% of the metagame for at least neutral damage.
