Maybe just a little off the spd or sp. atk, and a little more into HP.

Flygon (F) @ Leftovers/Choice Band
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Flamethrower/Fire Blast/HP Bug/Flying
- Quick Attack
- Rock Slide

Non STABed, low power flamethrower can be bad for you. Keep HP Bug for Celebi or HP Flying just as alternatives.


Salamence (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- HP Flying
- Fire Blast/Rock Slide

Only one Dragon is needed really. HP Flying is essential on Sala for STAB. Also, since this is DDMence, I'm told you should consider less off the Speed and more into HP. Naughty nature is not too smart, as Tbolts will hurt more than they should.

Raikou @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 16 HP / 252 Spd / 212 SAtk / 28 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

take some speed and put it into defense, Take the sp. def and but it into the Def. as well. Otherwise wonderful.

Suicune @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 240 HP / 212 Def / 8 Spd / 24 SAtk / 24 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Ice Beam/Roar
- Rest
- Surf

Considering this team, you need a phazer more than anything else.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP / 135 Def / 39 SAtk / 96 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Leech Seed
- Psychic
- Recover

Seems good. I'd personally just put it all into the defenses, but meh.

Rate and fix.
:D

GOGO SUPER SWEEPER TEAM. Heal bell might be needed on Celebi here (among some other things), as you can't allow Sala/Raikou/Sceptile to take status. Watch out for Skarmbliss, as they really will hurt this team.

Mence with Adamant and FB isn't cool. I prefer RS to kill other Mence's, and Aero's (yes it has killed CB Aero. I know I should have two Dragons on the same team, but you know oh well, just trying it. I usually have Boah over Flygon, even though Boah is old but it still kills things.:\

Fire Blast has enough power to do good damage even with Adamant nature iirc. That's just the standard set. Plus, you have other things that can take out an opposing Salamence. Sala vs. Sala is pretty risky, as Intimidate can kinda hurt prediction.

Without the Adamant nature drop it OHKO'ed a Skarm. My team hates Blissey, that's why I like Boah.:D

Never seen a skarm go down to a Sala Fire Blast b4, even without Adamant. Someone must've screwed the EVs. Either way, that's prolly the best Nature ur gonna get outta the deal, as you don't need a thunderbolt screwing with you (Naughty Nature) in case you need to switch into it.

With Adamant how Much is a Skarm going to take from FB.:\

If going with @petaya, then you might as well give Endeavor > Leech Seed a try on this.

Flygon (F) @ Choice Band
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Quick Attack / HP Bug
- Rock Slide

FB 2HKOs Skarmory, even with a -SAtk nature, so go with adamant. Quick Attack is meh... not like you'll be facing many people that use Reversal or Flail in OU (thus, Suicune easily survives one of those at full HP), so I'd rather go with HP Bug instead for Claydol and Celebi.

Salamence (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 104 HP / 232 Atk / 16 Def / 140 Spd / 16 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- HP Flying

Go with that EV spread and Adamant > Naughty, as FB 2HKOs Skarm even with a -SAtk nature, just like Flygon. I'd rather use something like Dugtrio here though, since you don't need 2 dragons and skarmbliss will be a pain to fight against.

Raikou @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 16 HP / 252 Spd / 212 SAtk / 28 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

Max speed for... what? Just go with 60 HP / 216 Spd / rest in SAtk.

Suicune @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 240 HP / 100 Def / 8 Spd / 24 SAtk / 136 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Roar
- Rest
- Surf

more like 240 HP / 212 Def / 16 Spd / rest in SAtk. Roar is almost a must here, since you lack a p-hazer, and Psych Up Regices will make your team cry otherwise.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP / 135 Def / 39 SAtk / 96 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Leech Seed
- Psychic
- Recover

You wasted some EVs there. Go with Bold nature, a few more def EVs and a little speed, since CM will make up for the SAtk and SDef stat anyway.

Rate and fix. :D
Huge ice weak ._.

You'll need a special wall, and you lack a p-hazer and a spinner (though dunno where skarm could lay down some spikes, but a spinner is still always needed, imo.)
You'll want to drop one of the dragons, possibly Sala, for a Dugtrio, because Blissey walls the majority on this team.
Your team doesn't really like statuses, so you could use a Blissey for that yourself, and you'd have a special wall then.

Well, I hope this helps.
