    I lied... it is. OK, here we go:

    Tauros @ Choice Band
    Intimidate
    252 Atk, 252 Spd
    Return
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge (Blah)
    Giga Impact

    I'm definitely feeling a replacement of Stone Edge... it just misses too much. Should I go Rock Slide? I had Zen Headbutt, but Giga Impact would do more damage than a Supereffective Headbutt if someone pulls a Fighting type. It's not every day you can STAB a move with 150 base attack power, but anyways.

    Houndoom @ Focus Sash
    Flash Fire
    252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd
    Flamethrower
    Dark Pulse
    Will-o-wisp
    Nasty Plot

    I next to never use Will-o-wisp on him...any functional replacements?

    Gallade @ Salac Berry/Choice Scarf?
    Steadfast
    252 Atk, 252 Spd
    Psycho Cut
    Leaf Blade
    Night Slash
    Close Combat

    If anything goes I'm thinking it should be the Night Slash... but he seems to do very well. The item is what I'm not sure about clearly. I suppose he needs some sort of speed boost although he is actually like 2 or 3 points faster than my Houndoom.

    Glaceon @ Leftovers?
    Snow Cloak
    252 Sp. Atk, 129 Def, 129 Sp. Def
    Ice Beam
    Shadow Ball
    Mirror Coat
    Ice Shard

    Glaceon is basically here because I needed something with Ice Beam and needed something with Shadow Ball - it had both and was already trained as such. I know it's physical attack sucks hardcore but Ice Shard is useful for finishing off Focus Banders/Sashers since he's slow. Also, the leftovers should be given to Slowbro above all else, I feel - so any item suggestions that would keep me 'no duplicate items' legal?

    Slowbro @ Leftovers
    Own Tempo
    252 Def, 158 HP, 100 Sp. Atk
    Calm Mind
    Slack Off
    Psychic
    Surf

    Straight up. This is the most dependable thing I have on my team and, along with Tauros, one I would really like to keep. I could pitch Psychic or Surf for Shadow Ball or Ice Beam if the Glaceon is to go. Every team needs an Ice Beam somewhere...

    Dusknoir @ Lum Berry
    Pressure
    252 Def, 252 Sp. Def, 6 HP
    Will-o-wisp
    Confuse Ray
    Night Shade
    Rest

    Defensive Tank to my Offensive Slowbro Tank. Quite Dependable as well, although sadly becoming OU which I dislike.

    I have a trained Starmie, Zangoose, Scyther, Absol, Arcanine, Vespiquen, Dragonite, Tentacruel, Swampert, Kingdra, Gyarados and all Eeveelutions but Espeon (among others) that are just sitting in a box, so if any of these sound like suitable replacements, suggest them first please. Thank you much.

    Well I hate to do it but I'm double posting since no-one said anything. In addition I decided to A) cut the Psychic for Ice Beam on my Slowbro and B) cut the Glaceon for

    Dragonite @ Choice Scarf
    Adamant
    252 Attack, 180 Speed, 76 Sp. Def
    Inner Focus
    -Outrage
    -Earthquake
    -Fire Punch
    -Thunder Punch
     
    With the Items. It depends where you are battling, but in the average battling environment. No duplicate of items are allowed. I would go with Choice Scarf on Gallade. Also, no need to double post.
