Whoops, i meant to put protect on ninjask (but why not jolly?).
Plus, Starmie is already done i'm not changing the nature. Rapid spin is ok but i want a sweeper.
Others ok. Currently deciding on last. (metagross?)

Well, it's there now lol. Inferior benefits from SD, so it would be a fair choice. The CB set takes a bite even out of skarm with focus punch on the switch...

Okay, after reading the edit...starmie isn't gonna last with modest. Either rebreed or don't use it. Wothout timid, it isn't fast enough...simple. Ninjask doesn't need jolly, especially since it has speed boost. Adamant is fine, as long as you use 252 Spd EVs. And lol, you don't have a spinner...might as well give it to Starmie. Psychic has horrid coverage anyways.

Rhyperior cant take special hits. at least metagross can take one or two. Being slow, you dont want a special sweeper switching in on you.

IT doesn't do much to grassers and water moves...it gives it a chance to shrug off weaker ice beams...but it really helps its fighting and ground weak. 2 of your pokemon are weak to fire types, so I wouldn't advise using metagross. Edit that first post while you're at it...

Rhyperior (F) @ Choice Band ** Rhyinferior
Solid Rock
200 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Def
Adamant

TTar is rather similar...as is CBgross...it's too late for me to type it out...but yeah...the guides sticky has the CB versions of the 2.

Why not give Starmie Grass knot, great for taking out rock, and other heavy beasts

[B]1. Because it's not as commonly seen as the the Boltbeamer set.
2. Um. Wha? All people go for Levitate. Otherwise, they're crazy to go with Heatproof. There's no best Fire Move, and very few fire types. Whilst, there's Dugtrio, Rhyperior, and the best Ground move, Earthquake.

Levitate is, imo, the best option for Bronzong. No questions asked.

Still, no dugtrio is gonna bother trying to EQ it, since they'd assume it has levitate. Heatproof is a nice little surprise, but levitate is better.

Levitate's popularity could be a reason to use heatproof. I don't think anyone here would actually try to EQ Bronzong.

EDIT: GAH, ANTI BEAT ME :[

The element of surprise is an underated part of battling...it can pay huge divedends sometimes.

I'd just like to point out that Garchomp can't learn dragon dance if not pointed out already >_> Swords dance is good for him though. Off topic:Anti, mind checking my Assembling a team thread?>_<
