Darkrai is banned in standard play, so that goes out the window.

Nothing can take a hit here aswell. You need walls, Blissey in that last slot and then remove Darkrai for a phys wall.

Toxic and EQ are awful on ape and so is Flamethrower with a Jolly Nature. Close Combat/Stone Edge/U-Turn/Flare Blitz

Choice Specs on Gyarados when its moves are all physical and it has Dragon Dance ? Same with Exeggutor when it has some none attacking moves ?

What is Exeggutors Hidden power type ? Infact i flat out wouldnt use eggy, it needs sunny day to be effective, and in this sandstorm and hail dominated metagame, its not going to be effective.

Bellyzard would not be smart as you lack a spinner and already have ape.

Deoxys has better things to do than Extremespeed, use Super Power/T-Bolt/Ice Beam/Psychic.

Gyarados wants taunt >> EQ OR Stone Edge.


Still we still need evs or we cant do anything. Also some of their natures are blegh. Gyarados wants Adamant, Eggy wants modest.


I think reading the stickies would be in your best interest.

Deoxys -Life Orb
Ape -Choice Band with the set i posted up thar ^^^

Everything else that isnt uber, Leftovers.

Infernape-Jolly@Leftovers

Close Combat
Flamethrower
Toxic
Earthquake

Toxic will not be getting you very far. Infernape can't take hits well enough to run Toxic. Leftovers would not be a preferred item since it does little to Infernape, whose main goal is to deal damage, not take hits. Earthquake has little use between the coverage that other movesets have to offer. Also, Jolly would be decreasing its Special Attack which it needs for its Flamethrower. That isn't good since you are pretty much weakening its moves.

Infernape @ Life Orb / Expert Belt
Trait: Blaze
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack / 232 Speed / 24 HP
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- U-Turn
- Thunderpunch

Darkrai - Docile@lefites

Dark Pulse
Calm Mind
Dark Void
Substitute

Darkrai is of the uber tier, and therefore should not go on an OU team. It has some qualities that make it superior and unfair to other Pokemon.

Gyarados -Impish @ Choice Specs

Earthquake
Waterfall
Dragon Dance
Stone Edge

I hope you realize that Choice Specs raises your Special Attack, and you currently have no Special Attacks on Gyarados. Choice Specs will only limit your capability of dealing damage. Also, Choicing a Pokemon who has non-attacking moves will do nothing good to you. It will trap you into using a non-attacking move for no benefits whatsoever. I'd highly suggest Taunt over Stone Edge - Gyarados is notorious for putting an end to walls like Skarmory. Leftovers for an item, too. Impish nature is of little benefit to you since Gyarados's purpose is not to physically wall.

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Attack / 72 HP / 184 Speed
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang / Taunt / Thunder Wave
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance

Deoxys (S) Hasty @ Lefties

Psychic
Thunderbolt
Shadowball
Extremespeed

Extremespeed for what? It's going to attack first anyways. I for one prefer the Cosmic Power Deoxys-S. Bleh, I'd really prefer a slightly defensive version of this to abuse Pressure.

Deoxys @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
Nature: Bold / Modest
Evs: 252 Sp.Atk / 96 Speed / 166 Defense
- Spikes / Thunderbolt / Cosmic Power
- Recover / Icebeam
- Superpower
- Psychic

Exeggutor Jolly @ choice specs

Hypnosis
Hidden Power
Explosion
Psychic

This doesn't work well without a large speed boost, sunlight, or Trick Room. You need more defensive Pokemon, so use Blissey and a physical wall over Darkrai and get something more useful over Exeggutor.
