    The movesets are ... terrible.

    Hyper Beam fails as a move. really. And even right now, your team is too sweeper oriented. Three physical sweepers aren't going to get you far.

    Luricario@Life Orb
    Jolly
    Evs: 252 spd / 252 atk / 6 hp
    Close combat
    Extremespeed
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge
    Metal claw really isnt worth using. Neither are stupid neutral natures.

    Rampardos@Focus Sash
    Jolly
    Evs 252 atk /252 Speed / 6 HP
    Pursuit
    Earthquake
    Rock Polish
    stone edge
    Rock Polish sweeper is the way to go.

    Aerodactyl@Life Orb
    Adamant
    Evs:252 spd / 252Att / 6HP
    EQ
    Stone Edge
    Ice Fang/Fire Fang
    Thunder Fang

    WTF was going on with yours??? Special attacks????

    can some 1 help please

    What you have here is 3 special sweepers. Most teams need two at the most. Scrap Rampardos, get a special sweeper and a couple of walls. Also learn about natures or your doomed to failure.

    I gotta go so cant help you fully, but first I'd change lucario for a mixed lucario (Check the sticky pokemon discussion thread in this forum, the current topic is lucario) and then look for some walls and a special sweeper that appeal to you. (CoughBlisseyForSpecialWallCough)

    You'd need a good six pokemon.

    Physical Sweeper - Lucario / Aerodactyl
    Special Sweeper
    Physical Wall
    Special Wall
    Tank / Baton Passer / Spiker / SRer / Spinner / Cleric
    Tank / Baton Passer / Spiker / SRer / Spinner / Cleric

    Options are a bit broad at the moment.

    I'm really confused, i started rebreeding my dratini's for natures, i got the nature for my female dratini (jolly nature) off a ditto
    however when i put everstone on female dratini and breed with a ditto, i don't get the 50% same nature. Does that mean i can use everstone but only with a pokemon thats not ditto?

    Actually, I saw a Garchomp set on Smogon the other day that flat-out scared me:

    Garchomp @ Salac Berry
    Ability: Sand Veil
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 76 Attack / 252 Speed / 180 Special Defense
    *Earthquake
    *Outrage / Dragon Claw
    *Fire Fang
    *Swords Dance

    It can survive an Ice Beam from anything below 273 SAtk (without STAB), thus activating Salac Berry. With that, it has the strength and freedom of SDChomp, with the speed of Scarchomp. And don't forget to add in Sand Veil hax.

    Um Ancientpower is a special move...that's not gonna fly. Need smore Fire Punch/Rock Slide IMO.

    Also you will have to rebreed, the speed IV is too awful.

    Relying on a 10% chance of something activating is a bad idea, especially since Marowak needs every moveslot it gets.

    Really ancientpower is epically useless.

    Yes and when Skarmory shows up?

    Fire Punch will destroy steels, especially since many steels aren't even weak to Earthquake/Bonemerang (Bronzong, skarmory, Forretress...) that's why we have Fire Punch.

    you can debate rock slide/double-edge but Fire Punch will really help you smash pesky steels.
