Pyrotechnix, you said you wondered why speed was necessary on Boah. Well, it's to outspeed Weezings. Some people put a few points more if they want to outspeed Weezings with speed EVs. If you're slower than Weezing, or if you lose the tie, then Focus Punch basically becomes worthless. Also, standard Heal Bell Celebi has little or no Defense EVs.

First off, this team will not have a CBMence weakness if you use HP Ice on your Raikou instead of the bizarre (but not uneffective) set you have on it. Second, I understand it's to outspeed Weezing, which is why I've never understood why people put the speed on. You have T-Bolt and Crunch as SAtks, so why do you have to use Focus Punch? Let it burn you then counter back with T-Bolt or Crunch, and WHOAMG those deal damage too. if you're in a sub, Weezing is a non-factor anyway. Sludge Bomb can't do much to Boah, neither can Fiyah Blast.
What you call the "Standard" Heal Bell Celebi would be an idiot to not have Defense EVs. Yhalothar, CBMence, Heracross, HP Bug Duggy, CB Shadow Ballers, how are you doing today? Oh, you want to kill me? Go right ahead. =/ You can keep HP Ice on the Celebi, boost its defenses, and then you've got the CBMence problem taken care of. With the right defensive spread, none of these save maybe Heracross will score a OHKO, and they are all weak to Ice or Grass. Let them hit you, score a OHKO, and Recover off the damage the next time you get an opportunity. Heal Bell Celebi is having a lot less of a need than what you put on it for SAtk and SDef, as a true STAB'd Ice attack is rare.
