Energy Ball is blegh, especially on a team THIS gyarados weak.

SR is garbage on this, if you must have SR, put it on skarm >> Spikes.

Also with no S-Toss or even an offensive move, CM Raikou and anything else goes olol.


Max Blisseys DEF ALWAYS, it has the defense of like 2 ._., at least with max def it can take a beating.



Comments are in bold.

SkarmBliss is outdated and is just metagame weak.

Scarf-Porygon-z is walled to no end, as is gengar.

Taunt DD tar owns you.

Mixape also eats you, especially HP Ice versions.

"You are 6-0ed by Gyarados if it gets a DD"

Focus Sash is a fail item btw, weather being so common and all., you also dont have a spinner which = Toxic Spikes, Spikes, and SR ownage.


I suggest, you find a better sp.sweeper than p-z, and add Starmie >> gengar, it deals with your ape problem aswell as gyarados and it also spins.


I also suggest Bronzong >> Skarm, this will help with your overwhelming DD Tar problem, either that, or use Steel Wing >_<.

If you're using Focus Sash Gengar, then make it your lead and teach it Hypnosis, instead of HP Ice. I don't really see why you need paralysis support from Blissey seeing that your team is very fast, Ice Beam might work instead of T-Wave.

Scarf Porygon-Z really isn't that good, especially with Hyper Beam.


Gengar @ Life Orb / Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
252 SpA/252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- HP Ice 70
- Focus Blast

Focus Sash is major fail, especially with your lack of a spinner.


Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Keen Eye
252 HP/252 Def
Impish Nature
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Roost

Don't see the point of putting SD on this.


Garchomp @ Life Orb / Yache Berry
Ability: Sand Veil
252 Atk/252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
- Swords Dance

k


Infernape @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
24 Atk/232 SAtk/252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Flamethrower
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot
- Nasty Plot

Finally somebody not using that fail all-attack Mixape.


Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
252 HP/ 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Seismic Toss
- Ice Beam
- Softboiled

Seeing your lack of Gengar defenses elsewhere, I'd go ICe Beam. Also, you pretty much need SToss on this. Go with D_A's EVs.
Very special oriented team here. You also have trouble switching in on Blissey, who can Thunder Wave Infernape and Ice Beam Garchomp.

Gengar is pretty useless on this team IMO besides its fighting immunity, so I'd get something like Spiritomb. It would also help with sub/CM Missy who makes your team cry.

I'd also scrap Porygon-Z for something to aid old Skarmory in physical walling. You're pretty badly TTar weak, so something to help there would be good.

And yeah, Skarmbliss is pretty outdated. You need more support than a Gengar. Cresselia usually buffs up the duo, so consider that as well.
