And I'm pretty comfortable with it too.

Swampert (F) @ Leftovers ** Tu Madre
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 144 Def / 56 SAtk / 68 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Rest

I finally found a use for Cursepert.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 72 Def / 32 Spd / 100 SAtk / 54 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Light Screen
- Rest
- Thunderbolt

You know how I am about special walls, so I figured that with the type coverage that Zapdos + Celebi offers, adding it Light Screen would make it somewhat a special walling combo, more so than it already is.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP / 60 Def / 56 Spd / 152 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Heal Bell
- Psychic
- Recover
- Reflect

Reflect is great. Heal Bell is needed, but Blissey is too fat to fit the team.

Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 104 Atk / 92 Spd / 60 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Focus Punch
- Hidden Power [Bug]
- Rock Slide
- Substitute

Originally, the team was Swampert/Raikou/Celebi/Cloyster/Skarmory/Gengar. What I did here was change Raikou to Zapdos, allowing me to drop Skarmory for Forretress, who could cover both Rapid Spin and spikes, therefore trading Cloyster out for Tyranitar, who offers some physical punch to the team, which was my main concern. I decided to take advantage of Light Screen, add in some SDef, and it becomes easier to switch in on Regice, who was a major problem.

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Rest
- Spikes

Did you know, that abusing SDef with Light Screen support is fun?

Gengar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 44 HP / 216 Spd / 248 SDef
Gentle Nature (+SDef, -Def)
- Fire Punch
- Hypnosis
- Ice Punch
- Thunderbolt

Not exactly the best Hera protection with a -Def nature, But just as cool. The original idea was to use this as a McGar set. With these EVs, a standard Blissey SAtk stat won't break a sub, and I'd be free to Focus Punch. With the addition of Tyranitar, however, that had to change. The EVs still looked cool without a McGar set, so I decided to use it. Zapdos and Celebi handle swampert, for the most part, so I felt safe in using Fire Punch for Heracross, and Forry's that felt like sticking around for at least one layer of spikes. Also cool for when Regice get's put to sleep.

I'd like to inform you that this is the only team I've ever made that has actually undergone extensive testing and and changing. Hooray. *Throws confetti.

wat axactly IS hidden power?

Hidden Power is a move, whose base power and typing are based on a Pokemon's IVs (Pokemon Genes). On NetBattle, you can simply pick what type of Hidden Power you want, and it will change your EVs accordingly, leaving it with the highest possible power, which is base 70. It counts as a Normal move, being able to be Countered (even if it's a special type Hidden Power), but unlike a Normal move, it does take on the traits of it's type, such as Resistances, weaknesses, STAB, and Base stats.

That help any?

You should really stop making teams for 3rd Gen since you already master it. Start making 4th gen teams. :/

I would if the 4th Generation was actually good.

4th Gen > 3rd Gen. It takes more skillz.

I suppose it really does take more skill to complain to Nintendo that Sneasel's Ice Punch wasn't doing anything to Blissey, and for them to do something about that.

Or maybe he should just wait for it to come out. I am tired of people flooding RMT boards with projected teams because first of all it's not out in America yet, and second of all Nintendo ****ed up big time with this one. 4th Gen sucks.

Also Umby use CBTar because he's cool.

I was saying he should use CBTar. That set is obviously not CBTar as it has Substitute. xD

I probably will, I just wanted to leave more durabilty for Tyranitar so I could constantly switch in on Celebi, who's kinda being a whore here. I might try it out though.

Celebi can't really do anything to Tar.

Celebi can't really do anything to Tar.

But it's not like I can prevent Celebi from switching out, or always keep Tyranitar alive long enough every game.

It also has Leech Seed, and I use HP Grass quite often.
