I don't really like (Ice) + (Dragon) attacks together because usually (Ice) is too take out (Dragon) types which (Dragon) attacks also do.
I really think the Weavile i suggested would make a better lead for this team because it fills so many needs. It gives you UBERFAST (Ice) to take out scary (Dragon) types - (Dark) to take out speedy (Ghost) / (Psychic) types. *Pursuit is to run down those (Ghost) / (Psychic) types when they head for Zee Hills. And *Focus Punch lets you smash something in the grill when you force switches which Weavile will likely do seeing how many things are scared of him.

Okie dokie, for Dragonite, i'll go with FireBlast over Ice Beam, and even with a - nature, he can still 2HKO Skarm, 1 hit is just out.
Dragonite w/ Leftovers/Life Orb
'Inner Focus' : Prevents Flinching
<Adamant : -Spec Attack, +Atk>
EVs: 56 Hp / 252 Attack / 16 Def / 184 Spd (Lol, Def EVs stop a Ice Pebble from killing me)
IVs: 31 Hp / 31 Atk / 31 Spd
* Dragon Dance
* Earthquake
* Dragon Claw
* Fire Blast
I really want Dragon Claw on there, like Alter Ego said, its Pure STAB power, then EQ is back up for steels/pokes weak to it. Woo hoo, hes in, I love him. How much damage does Life Orb do? I kinda like leftovers, it helps him stick around some, but I might switch to life orb. How much more damage do I do? And how much HP do I lose?
Hm... Weaville... I really like Gengar, but Weavile isn't too bad. (Probopass however... though hes totally silly) I'll look into it. It would give my team and Ice-Resist, but I really don't like that 4x fighting weak. I'll consider him, and just keep him away from fighting and stuff. I kinda like Gengar, because he can switch into stuff with his typing (fighting mainly) and hes pretty sweet anyway. Weavile will make them run for Ze Hills, but I've never battled competitively before, so it'll take some practice to get a focus punch down. I'll definitely think about him though. I'm not so sure about a second choice bander, but I can work around it. It'll just take some practice. (Ugh, more BPs unless I go for teh clonez)
Thanks for all the help!
