Firstly, this is not your standard RMT, this is for a Gym Leader tournament - everyone gets a random Pokemon type and has to build a three-man team where they all share that type. I did reasonably, and got Ghost - not as good as Steel, but much better than, say, Fire or Grass. Ubers banned (hence no Giratina).

My team:

Froslass @ Choice Specs
Timid
255 Speed, 255 Special Attack
Shadow Ball
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Psychic

Gengar @ Life Orb
Modest
255 Speed, 255 Special Atk
Hypnosis
Shadow Ball
Energy Ball
Focus Blast

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Impish
255 HP, 255 Defence
Pain Split
Will-o-Wisp
Fire Punch
Earthquake

Hmmm... two things:

1.) I'd say make Gengar a SubPuncher, to take care of anyone with Normal types (or Steel/Rock types) from coming in against you.

And then 2.) you can drop Dusknoir for something like Spiritomb, to sort of help out the Ghost weakness. Any team with a Timid Alakazam would quite possibly OHKO every one of these with a Choice Specs Shadow Ball. And Pursuit Spiritomb makes the ultimate Alakazam counter, especially if he's got Choice Specs.

Gengar does already carry Focus Blast (fighting-typed), so what do I gain by switching to a Subpuncher (especially given Gengar's mediocre Attack)?

To be honest, if I'm worried about Timid Alakazam I'd rather switch Fire Punch for Shadow Sneak on the Noir. Noir's simply a much better tank.

edit: With type coverage being so key, I'm not keen on running Dark attacks simply because they have the same coverage as Ghost which is already well-represented.
