This guy fails to impress me. Just like Archer said, most people expect Tauntrados so I smash 'em with my scarfed Demon. Lately Husk teams have been used a lot and scarfed waterfall on Aero is pretty funny.
Choice Scarf is...bad. This is my own set, and it works VERY well. This has a chance to not be 2HKO'd by CB Heracross Stone Edge (very good chance), and can survive plenty of threats, while definately 2HKO'ing Garchomp with Ice Fang, and high chance of 2HKO'ing Gliscor. (Definate if you have SR support) This can become your Physical wall, and switches in very well. Wacan Berry is for the likes of Starmie, Deoxys-e and Thunderpunch Metagross mainly, but leftovers is more reliable.
Porygon2 @ Lum Berry
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP/68 Def/80 SAtk/110 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Toxic
This thing is AWESOME. I took the EVs from T_S's Porygon2 and apparently, had the exact same moveset by fluke ^^. Counters Gyarados and Garchomps that think Porygon2 is inferior to Porygon-Z and Toxic for Swampert and friends.(As mentioned by T_S)
tah. ;)
Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Adamant nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Extremespeed
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
- Crunch
Oh yea this is fun! Lucario with Choice Band plain powns. No need for speed investments because majority are Priority.Vacuum Wave for people who think it's Specs just to switch their Blisseys in on a Close Combat.
SD Lucario pwns stuff. D-E is probably your best mixed sweeper currently, so use this to its full advantage, and that is pwning stuff. =p Extremespeed is your main weapon against Deoxys-E, after a SD it's a guaranteed OHKO. Crunch for Gengar/Cress/Dusknoir etc.
Blissey (F) @ Nothing
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 40 HP/252 Def/216 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Thunder Wave
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
Pretty standard. My team has problems with status so I threw in Blissey.
fine, just perhaps 100 HP, 252 Def, 156 Sp. Def
Gallade (M) @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak/Night Slash/Psycho Cut
- Close Combat
- Hypnosis
My standard. Shadow sneak to make up for the lousy speed. Close combat and Phycho Cut for STABed.
Bulk Up when running Close Combat is redundent, as I found out. =p Hypnosis gives you an easy Swords Dance. Shadow Sneak is great for D-E, but not much else, so think perhaps Night Slash/Psycho Cut here.
Gengar (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Hypnosis
Now this team wouldnt be complete without a fast finisher so lets give Gengar a warm welcome! Focus Blast for Rocks, Steels and Normals. Shadow Ball for STABed and other ghosty and phychics. Tbolt for water and SKarmory.
Timid and Life Orb please. Wide Lens is hopeless here really, making 70%-77% isn't much compared to being able to KO things.
cmon ppl its not that BAD? or is it?

This looks a lot like my team, but I'm not complaining. =p (I did run Gallade for awhile there, for D-E)
Yeah, so as Archer pointed out, you don't have a major Physical Wall, but by changing Gyarados up a bit, you've found a great Physical Tank that's able to KO major threats like Garchomp and Gliscor, and with EQ you could even give Lucario a scare. (Haven't run calcs there though, you may wanna check)
Good luck!
