The product of eating toblerone and lurking for an hour and a half...

Champion@Lum Berry
Adamant
No Guard
252 hp/160 atk/92 SpD/4 Spe
- Sub
- Dynamic Punch
- Stone Edge
- Bullet Punch

Champion is the result of me just lurking the Smogon dictionary, and I was basically looking for a type of Anti-Lead that would diminish common leads (Yanmega, Azelf, Gyarados, Roserade, B-Zong, Gengar). So this is one of my best bets, plus who doesn't love machamp? It breaks through special walls, and makes a dent in everything too. For Anti-Leading pleasures, non-missing bullet punch is for yanmega, roserade, and D-Punch bronzong, (and lum berry for no sleeping), Stone Edge is for Salamence/Dragonite/Gyarados leads. Dynamic Punch is just messing up everything ranging anything and heatran. I really hate heatran. 4 Speed evs to outrun Bronzong/Other Machamp. Azelf/Gengar are still kind of a problem though. That's why we have..

ibeleC@Leftovers
Bold
Natural Cure
252 hp/252 def/4 SpD
- Recover
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Energy Ball

Celebi is par-ing with Machamp with the Azelf/Gengar problem. I know Gengar can do a lot of damage with shadow ball/hp ice/etc, but T-Wave basically makes it useless, and Celebi can 2KO with Energy Ball, including Azelf. Recover is just for walling physical attacks.. as usual.. *snore*. Also, this is my status absorber due to the Natural Cure & ability to heal well. Stealth rock replaced leech seed due to already having wish support. Awesome.

Duggy@Choice Band
Jolly
Arena Trap
252 atk/252 spe/4 hp
- EQ
- Aerial Ace
- Night Slash
- Stone Edge

Dugtrio is the best revenge killer around, no doubt. Jolly > Adamant just for the sheer fact of trapping more pokemon, and having a better boost with Choice Band. Oh, Choice Band > Life Orb, too. More damage, and Pursuit CB tyranitar doesn't faze me much because I can predict him out, and threaten to kill with EQ. Night Slash is for Cress and Dusk, and Stone Edge is for Gyarados/Salamence/you know. My team hates large threats. Aerial Ace is just for heracross. Yum.

http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/blissey.png
yessilB@Leftovers
Calm
Natural Cure
252 def/176 hp/80 spD
- Wish
- Softboiled
- Ice Beam
- Sesimic Toss

Yes! Finally something to make sure Gengar is down in it's tracks! Blissey is an obvious choice here, with wish support, another status absorber, and being the biggest counter to the biggest special threats, is well, something we all need. Ice Beam is just filler, and I don't have an Ice move yet so I guess it will do well. Sesimic Toss for Heatran/Emploeon/etc.

http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/azelf.png
Azelf@Life Orb
Naive
Leviate
252 spatk/252 spe/4 hp
- Psychic
- Explosion
- Flamethrower
- HP fighting

Azelf is probably the least effort I've put into in this team. It's all very boring and standard. Naive = Explosion for special walls (bliss, lax) and psychic for STAB and flamethrower for ice/fighting/etc. HP fighting is purely for Tyranitar and lurkin' umbreon. I might get Spec's or another pokemon here, I really kinda feel down on this pokemon as it is just really filler, I dislike the vibe.

http://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/salamence.png
Salamence@Life Orb
Mild
Intimidate
120 ATT / 212 SP.ATT / 176 SPEED
- Brick Break
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower/something else
- Roost

I needed something with a physical and special asset, and Salamence was the right choice for my team. My team's weaknesses were Psychic, Flying, Bug, Fire, Grass, Dark, and Fighting. Salamence out of all the mixed attackers takes most of those attacks with ease. Unfortunatly, the evs and movespread are standard as hell. Brick break for bliss, Draco for some special dragon power, not sure on the 3rd slot, and roost is for hp support.


So there ya' have it, please rate.

Machamp : -

Fire Blast does LESS to zong than D-Punch due to its superior attack and zong usually running sassy. Id use Bullet Punch >>it as it lets you get a heads up on Suicide leads after breaking their Sash's and priority is never a bad thing.


Salamence : -


120 ATT / 212 SP.ATT / 176 SPEED on mence, this outspeeds Lucario who mence is an effective check to. Roost >> Crunch . Rash >> mild so you can come in with Intimidate better on stuff like choice hera and aforementioned Lucario and other fighters. Set is fine otherwise.


Celebi : -


I kinda dont like Leech Seed on Celebi outside of stall since it has no use and you have wish support anyways. Use Stealth Rock >> it. Grass Knot >> Energy Ball too as it does more to Gyarados (which celebi is your best "counter" to) and T-tar switch ins.

Blissey : -

Softboiled >> Protect.

With softboiled you can heal on the switch and then get the hell out of there to live another day, So basically you get instant healing AND still support the team with Wish.

You will also want something to at LEAST hit Heatran and Agili Torrent Petaya Sub Empoleon etc use Seismic Toss or Hidden power Ground somewhere in there (In the last slot), the latter of which conveniently has good coverage with Ice and hits Lucario switch ins.



Cool team otherwise. Im really tired and ill come back for a better rate to point out any weaks and stuff later =_=.
