Blastoise (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 104 SAtk / 76 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Haze
- Ice Beam
- Rapid Spin
- Surf

Hazer and Rapid Spinner.

Lanturn (F) @ Leftovers ** Blue Lagoon
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 64 SAtk / 192 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Thunderbolt
- Toxic

Cool. ;) I'm loving this thing so far. No surf doesn't really bother me.

Marowak (F) @ Thick Club
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Bonemerang
- Rock Slide
- Sing
- Swords Dance

K, this thing is so fun when it works. You basically put of the opponent to sleep. Then, you either start setting up or attack the pokemon on the switch. This is very risky though.

I think breaking subs is more important than hitting, though one miss may be fatal.

Metagross @ Choice Band ** Cylinder
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 156 HP / 252 Atk / 100 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash
- Sludge Bomb

You know this guy...

Dragonite (F) @ Leftovers ** Fat Salamence
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 40 HP / 40 Atk / 176 Spd / 252 SAtk
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Focus Punch
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

See meta

Articuno @ Leftovers ** Powder Snow
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 20 Spd / 88 SAtk / 132 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Heal Bell
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Toxic

Stall, stall, stall. This is all this thing does. Hey, at least its not something boring like dusclops.

Most of my team is non-standard which, i think, is the whole point in playing Pokemon and having fun. Using boring teams like skarm/bliss/clops/cune/hera/claydol is boring. I like creating my own stuff rather than using other ppl's.

Rate away!

Blastoise works really well as a utility Pokemon. Kudos to you for using it.

Lanturn (F) @ Leftovers ** Blue Lagoon

Hmm, I'd just give it Ice Beam over Toxic for BoltBeaming. Not much point in sleep talking when you only have one attack to choose from, especially when it can't handle Ground Pokemon.

Marowak (F) @ Thick Club
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Bonemerang
- Rock Slide
- Sing

K, this thing is so fun when it works.
"When" is the key word here. With none of your attacks at 100% accuracy, you're really taking a huge risk with this set. If it works for you, great. Maybe you're just lucky. But don't trust to luck too often.

Metagross @ Choice Band ** Cylinder
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 156 HP / 252 Atk / 100 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash
- Sludge Bomb

A standard on a nonstandard team? At least give it Thunderpunch to make it a little different or even Reflect.

Dragonite (F) @ Leftovers ** Fat Salamence
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 40 HP / 40 Atk / 176 Spd / 252 SAtk
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Focus Punch
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

Again, Dragonite has such a huge movepool that its not hard to give it a more original set. You can even use Thunder Wave or Light Screen, or turn it into a Choice Bander instead of Metagross.

Articuno @ Leftovers ** Powder Snow
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 20 Spd / 88 SAtk / 132 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Heal Bell
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Toxic

omg my favorite Pokemon on a team! O_O
If you want to be really gay, you can even put Protect in there for an extra turn of Pressure. Of course, you'll have to battle without PP-Ups for maximum effect.

A very cool team indeed. I’m a big fan of nonstandard sets. Marowak and maybe Lanturn are weak links here. There so many other Pokemon, even OU ones, that can surprise with nonstandard sets. Snorlax with Counter and/or Fire Blast, Choice Band Zapdos…just to give some ideas, and someone has to use poor little Porygon2.

I saw someone use a Sing + Focus Punch combo on Marowak.

This team is made for OU so I guess one OU on a nonstandard team won't hurt. ;( If it is absolutely necessary to get rid of Meta, then I'd replace him with CB Regirock since they both do exactly the same thing.

Good point on the Marowak. Should I replace Bonemerang with EQ for the accuracy? Or should I drop sing for something else? Sing was just a fun idea that I had, and it's actually working pretty well.

I really like that Lanturn, since it can outstall Blissey with toxic/resttalk but I'll put T-bolt on it if its really that important. If so, I would go with the tbolt/surf/sub/toxic set. I really don't like Lanturn without Toxic since it can stall so well, especially with Articuno. I don't think Ice Beam is such a good idea, since 4 IBers will be overdoing it.

As for Dragonite, I could go with the DDancer since I love it so much and it sweeps with ease. T-wave isn't a bad idea but it conflicts with toxic.

Do you think any of these suggestions are a good idea?

That Marowak is fine. Bonemerang vs. EQ is preference, so if you feel secure, go with Bonemerang. If you're a little more cautious, go EQ
