    Or you could go with:

    Deoxys-E @ Life Orb
    Ability: Pressure
    EVs: 162 Atk/96 Spd/252 SAtk
    Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
    - Superpower
    - Ice Beam
    - Grass Knot
    - Psychic/Thunderbolt

    Hits many leads for Super Effective damage and is deadly if you aren't prepared for it.

    Standard ADV gen regirock:

    Regirock@Leftovers
    Adamant
    252HP/252Att/6SpDef
    Rock Slide
    Focus Punch
    Thunderwave/Counter
    Explosion

    Im guessing this is in-game, so walling strategies are not needed.

    Yesterday I got a hasty Jirachi in a trade and I want to use it. What would be a good set for it? I was thinking of a Calm Mind Sweeper set if that's possible.

    Never use a Calm Mind Jirachi with that. It wants Bold or things with Physical moves will laugh at its easily breakable Substitute. Calm Mind Jirachi also wants Max HP if you plan on using Substitute, to beat Blissey.

    Either that, or the Curse set:

    Regirock @ Leftovers
    Trait: Clear Body
    EVs: 252 HP / 160 Atk / 96 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) <----- It would be cool if yours was Adamant.
    - Curse
    - Rock Slide
    - Earthquake
    - Rest / Explosion / Thunder Wave / Filler Move

    Is Swampert really so common that it warrants an entire slot for Grass Knot? I'd imagine Thunderbolt more important for Gyara leads, and other Bulky Waters. Oh, and Shadow Ball is always worth consideration for Azelf and other Psychics, who completely wall this set. Psycho Boost is also a neat option, since D-E really needs all the power he can get. Plus, he can still Superpower afterwards.

    Also, is Ice Shard still good on Weavile? I need him to cover my Garchomp weak, but if Scarfchomp isn't used anymore, I see no reason to use it over Ice Punch. It's just that rebreeding is a pain...

    Shadow Ball is not worth considering due to its low power (80 BP), adding to the fact that DeoxysE has low SpA, which means it can't OHKO a Gengar among other things. I find Psychic better for the increased power with STAB.

    On another note, I ran TB/IB/GK/HP Fire against ABYAY, and it could OHKO 5/6ths of his team. Well, excluding Blissey =(

    Ice Shard is for other things besides Garchomp, namely DDMence/DDNite, and for general priority purposes. You should keep Ice Shard. May I ask what variant of Weavile are you planning to use? You could fit in Focus Punch =D

    CB Weavile, mainly for revenge killing. I mainly put him in when I noticed that Garchomp brutalized my entire team.

    Weavile @ Choice Band
    Jolly
    40 HP/ 252 Atk/ 216 Spe
    - Night Slash
    - Pursuit
    - Brick Break
    - Ice Shard

    Speaking of which, I don't like Azelf. Does Pursuit OHKO it even if it stays in? Keep in mind that this is for WiFi play, where Azzie won't have flawless Def and HP.

    Also, I see your point about Shadow Ball. Huh, it doesn't even OHKO Azelf... forget I mentioned it. =P

    I think that packing 36 HP EVs lets you survive Pursuit with no prior damage and staying in. If memory serves, anyhow. I guess the ones packing 36 Attack for U-Turn reasons and stuffs won't give you trouble, but you may wanna keep it in mind.

    Good to know. I never seem to get rocks out early enough, though, so that may be trouble.

    EDIT: I've started soft-resetting for Latias. What's a good defensive set for her?

    Oh, and can I get a good Azelf set, too? I wanna SR for that later.

    I need competitive movesets to go up against friends in Pokemon Gold. I need movesets for Noctowl, Ampharos, and Alakazam please, would this be ok for Alakazam:

    Alakazam @Leftovers
    ~Recover
    ~Psychic
    ~Fire Punch
    ~Ice Punch

    Fire punch to hit steel and grass types. Ice punch is perfect because the pokemon weak against it would do hefty damage to Alakazam since his defense stat is too low so I could sweep up against flying, ground, rock, and grass. So I think this moveset is about perfect. Help with Noctowl and Ampharos?

    Modest 190 Spd gets Azelf to 313, which is not a good number. Go with a pure 252/252 set so at least you're faster then Zapdos, Celebi, Salamence, Gengar, etc. A +Spd Nature with 220 Spd would still be best, however.

    And Azelf is too fragile to use Calm Mind. Use Nasty Plot.

    About the hold item, Leftovers might not be a good idea. Life Orb and Expert Belt are better choices for this set.

    I would recommend Flamethrower and/or Grass Knot for better coverage, but Boltbeaming is not all that bad. Just a matter of personal preference.

    Oh. Your post had the name "Azelf" in there and it confused me. :B

    Then, go with either 180 or 194 Speed.
    194 Speed lets you outspeed every Tyranitar, while 180 puts you just above Breloom and friends. I recommend 180.

    Otherwise, that's fine.

    I'd like the best 6 combimation of these pokemon:
    Blissey
    Metagross
    Heatran
    Tyranitar
    Heracross
    Ninjask
    Skarmory
    Forretress
    Magnezone
    Dugtrio
    Weavile
    Shedinja
    Garchomp
    Scizor
    Jirachi
    Bronzong
    I was hoping for a team that's good in both the standrad & uber battles...this is a list of the pokemon that's allowed in the standrad that's also used in the ubers...
    My team is probaly better off without the ones that needs weather support, so I have shorten down the list a little bit...I may have dropped a few pokemon...I think salamence may be also a standrad used in the ubers, for example...I figured a well-balanced team would look like this:
    Psyically defensive
    Psyical sweeper (here, I'm thinking bout Garchomp)
    Specially defensive (here, I'm gonna use Blissey)
    Special sweeper
    I don't know what the last 2 would be...I'd like to know...I'll help along if I can...
