At A Glance:
introdution:
Hey guys, here's another RMT from me, and now I've lost count of the no. of RMT's I've made. I've finally stopped using Gyarados, as the title says :D. This is the second successful of the lot, having 60 wins and being the losing side only 27 times. So, I'd like to present it to you:

In Depth:
Empoleon (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 156 HP/100 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Hydro Pump
- Aqua Jet
- Ice Beam
Comments: Hydro Pump + Aqua Jet defeat a lot of common leads, and its not even funny. Ice Beam clears away the anti-lead Dragonites, and for some reason ALWAYS freezes lead Roserades. Stealth Rock is obvious, and Lum Berry saves me against Smeargle and Roserade. Why Empoleon, one of the best leads, is #24 in leads and so underrated, is out of my knowledge.

Starmie @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Recover
Comments: Starmie makes a return in my team here, swapping Expert Belt for Life Orb and getting Recover instead of Psychic. Starmie has a great ability, Natural Cure, as well as a wide movepool, making it one of the best special sweepers. When I'm in trouble, Starmie is the first thing I go to thanks to its good speed. Water+Electric+Ice hits everything for neutral, except for the rare Lanturn and the very rare Shedinja. Recover off the Life Orb recoil.

Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Surf
- Calm Mind
- Dragon Pulse
- Recover
Comments: Latias too makes a return, having the same set as earlier. The idea is simple, Calm Mind up then proceed to sweep. Dragon Pulse is my main means of attacking with STAB, and Surf helps to kill the Steel types resisting Dragon Pulse. Recover on low HP. Only Empoleon, which is rare, resists the Dragon+Water combo.

Zapdos @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Roost
- Heat Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Grass]
Comments: Zapdos retains its place in my team. Its awesome, and can sweep through teams easily which dont have Blissey. Thunderbolt is my STAB, having a good chance to OHKO Salamence with Stealth Rock up, Heat Wave was a good Platinum addition, killing the Grass types resisting Thunderbolt. HP Grass is useful, as it kills the Swamperts coming in seeing a Zapdos. Roost is to shed the Life Orb recoil. Fire+Electric+Grass combo is only resisted by Latias.

Tyranitar (M) @ Babiri Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Fire Punch
Comments: Tyranitar also retains its place in my team. Now, having three special sweepers, I needed a physical sweeper, and Tyranitar was the first one to come to my mind. DD up, then sweep. DD also boosts Tyranitar's speed, it's only low stat. Stone Edge and Crunch are my STAB options, and Fire Punch handles Scizor, who loves to come into Tyranitar, then getting killed thanks to the Babiri Berry.

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/176 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- U-turn
- Iron Head
Comments: I needed another physical sweeper which doesn't require to setup, and Jirachi was the first to come to my mind. Choice Scarf is to make Iron Head flinch things, with a hilarious 60% flinch rate. I 8HKO'd a Metagross with Jirachi, and each time it kept flinching and flinching. Fire Punch handles Lucario and Scizor, who love to come in on Iron Head. Ice Punch OHKO's Mence, and Flygon. Spamming U-turn is one of my favourite things :D.
