    • Try Choice Band Machamp with No Guard (or Guts if you don't care for confusion). It's bulky enough and can do some huge damage with Dynamic Punch, Stone Edge, Ice Punch and Bullet Punch (just in case you need to get rid of those focus sashers).

    • I suggest dropping Porygon-Z for Cresselia and Lucario for Machamp. Also Salamence doesn't look that good on this team, try Gyarados (also has Intimidate) to lure in electric attacks on Electivire.

    Eh? Since everyone is telling me not to copy from Smogon, I'll take a guess.. Roost ; U-Turn. Brave Bird is another option for AA, and perhaps Focus Sash for the item, but Toxic Orb really helps to take adventage of Guts..

    • The hell? Swellow's too fragile to Roost, I suggest U-Turn and Brave Bird with Protect and Facade /w Toxic or Flame Orb. And Burn doesn't negate Guts, if I'm not mistaken. But if you don't want Brave Bird, try Steel Wing. With Guts activated, it can do some serious damage to TTar.

    U-turn will be doing the same damage as Steel Wing, only that it has 100% accuracy.

    And for the thread starter: what is the point in changing your entire team now? you actually had something going for you with the first team but now you're just raising random ideas.

    • TDB Leader, it would be oh so helpful to make your posts more legible ^_^ Thanks.

    But as it's been pointed out, this team can't take hits to save its life. First, you have to focus on /THE/ powerhouse attackers, usually choice users and stat boosters. This, of course, requires the help of walling. Skarmory and blissey are obvious wall choices, let's see some others:

    Physical Walls
    Skarmory
    Forretress
    Metagross (yes, it can wall)
    Steelix
    Donphan
    Gliscor
    Weezing

    Special Walls
    Blissey
    Snorlax
    Regice
    Hypno
    Articuno

    Mixed Walls
    Dusknoir
    Bronzong
    Cressi
    Suicune (I guess)
    Claydol
    Milotic

    etc. etc.

    Those were off the top of my head, I forgot some, so yeah. So anyways, looking at your current team, I see WAY too many special sweepers. If any of your walls can spin, replace starmie (or pory Z and run choice specs starmie). Otherwise, I'd replace Pory Z.

    Anyways, the very special attackers you use gobble your team up. Get a reliable special wall. I wouldn't recommend regice or articuno since you have a lot of boltbeamers already. Maybe snorlax would be of benefit, but I'd give it crunch to deal with azelf and gengar.

    As for the physical side of things, there are far more choices. I recommend skarmory for this team. And actually, all of your swepers hit very hard, but they often fail to OHKO. I'd consider putting dugtrio over togekiss or one of the other special sweepers and put in dugtrio. ESPECIALLY if you use skarmory or Forretress, as they fear Magneton. But magneton fears dugtrio, lol
