| I know this won't be easy but I'm gonna give it my best shot. Grass has gained quite a boost in Gen V and I think it's possible to create a mono-type Grass team that, while probably almost definitely not able to compete with the standard metagame, will be a lot of fun to use.
I've been considering the following Pokemon:
Whimsicott @ Leftovers / Focus Sash Ability: Prankster Nature: Jolly / Timid 252 Def / 252 Spe / 4 Atk - Encore / Taunt - Leech Seed - Substitute - Sunny Day
Leafeon @ Leftovers Ability: Leaf Guard / Chlorophyll Nature: Careful EVs: 48 HP / 48 Def / 200 SDef / 212 Spd (Change Spd Ev into Atk if you are using the Chlorophyll set) - Leaf Blade - Yawn / Toxic - Synthesis - Heal Bell
Lilligant @ Life Orb Ability: Chlorophyll Nature: Modest EVs: 252 SpAtk / 76 SpDef / 180 Spd - Leaf Storm - Hidden Power [Rock] - Healing Wish - Sleep Powder
Leavanny @ Focus Sash / Life Orb Ability: Chlorophyll Nature: Adamant / Jolly EVs: 104 HP / 252 Atk / 152 Spe - Leaf Blade - X-Scissor - Return / Shadow Claw - Protect
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers / Shed Shell / Chesto Berry Ability: Steel Thorns Nature: Sassy / Relaxed EVs 252 HP / 252 SpDef / 4 Def - Curse - Leech Seed / Rest - Gyro Ball - Power Whip / Level Ground
I will have Shaymin somewhere, but no idea what role it will fill yet. Support, I guess...
Shaymin @ Leftovers Nature: Bold Ability: Natural Cure EVs 252 HP / 76 Def / 180 SpDef - Rest - Aromatherapy - Seed Flare - Grass Whistle / Hidden Power [Fire] / Leech Seed
Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions? |

| I was wondering, why do you have Healing Wish with Lilligant? It could give you a chance to set up Quiver Dances with Sleep Powder... and if you do that I suggest have either Giga Drain with Leaf Storm or Petal Dance + Own Tempo  How come Whimsicott has 4 EVs in Attack? It has no Attacking moves... I find your choice of Pokemon strange, though as all of them share the weakness to Fire, Ice, Bug, and Flying (although Ferrothorn is neutral against the last three). With that being said, I think you should think of Grass Pokemon to counter those weaknesses instead of having random Grass Pokemon. Blissey/Chansey and many Steel types will also wall your team to no end. I feel as if I so no diversity among your Pokemon as they don't have a very wide range of coverage... |

| I definitely think you should replace Leavanny, it's not any good. It's typing is terrible and x4 weakness to flying which your team doesn't need right now. I recommend Rotom-C
Rotom-C @ Leftovers Evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Nature: Calm Thunderbolt Leaf Storm Will-O-Wisp Pain Split
This Rotom can cover your flying weakness, or you could go with Serperior w/ Contrary and Leaf Storm perfect combo capable of a good sweep.

| Tracey Leavanny can work as a surprise factor. Look at mine. It has only been taken down twice in 23 battles. I would recommend a change n set and item. As I assume that this is singles change it to this.
Leavanny @Focus Sash - Leaf Blade - X-Scissor - Protect - Flail
It is mainly a surprise factor. And if you predict right you can KO up to two pokemon with this due to Leavanny's high attack and speed.
However the choice is yours.
I would also suggest Ludicolo and Cradily in there somewhere to help with the bug/ice/flying weaknesses that your team shares. _________________ PBR FC- 1419-4313-8513 Platinum FC: 4212-8169-2921   |

| And Fire, Rusty. Leavanny is still walled by Steel types though
Tracey, if you want we can have a battle on Pokemon Online and I'll show you what I use for my mono-Grass team |

Well, this would help with some things, but you have enough grass attacks already. I might prefer shadow ball over leaf storm, seeing as you won't be able to stay in long with the stat drops anyway. Alternitively, Rotom runs excellently as scarf/specs, because it has tbolt, leaf storm (choiced pokes switch around more anyway), shadow ball/will o wisp (in conjunction with scarf, this could decimate a physical sweeper) and trick to cripple another opponent. |

| If you're going to use Will-o-Wisp you might as well use Hex (@ both Hawk and JimmyCrystal) |
