Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk/172 Spd/84 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Aqua Tail
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
---
The Defender offensive Gyarados beats a lot of leads easily, and also serves as an endgame sweeper. Anything this thing can't kill Azelf will own easily. And 4x Grass immunity lets me come in on Celebi and dance up.

Moltres @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/98 Def/160 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Will-o-wisp
- Roost
- Toxic
---
The team was built around this guy. This Moltres beats any Crescelia that uses Moonlight over Rest amd beats Bliss at endgame, and with the EV spread I have, takes 3HKO from Milotic's STAB Surf. Because of this, Moltres, if there is no SR out, can actually counter Milotic. And everyone just thinks I'm a moron until their Milotics take four rounds of Toxic damage and I'm not dead yet, then they realize they have no counter for this.

Donphan @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 200 HP/88 Atk/222 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Shard
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
---
This is my Scarfchomp counter and spinner. It lays SR for me so that Moltres can deal extra damage with WoW/Toxic by forcing switches. Ice Shard kills Reversalers and dragons, and EQ is for general damage. It also spins off the SR that hurts Moltres so bad.
---
Azelf @ Expert Belt
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
---
Azelf is a special sweeper with Nasty Plot. I dislike Explosion on it because I have so many other ways of beating Blissey. Pert, Celebi, Gyara, and even Moltres have ways of forcing a switch back out. Also Bliss doesn't even like taking Schemed Psychics for too long. I have three attacks with a wide SE range, so I put Expert Belt instead of Life Orb. I generally dislike Life Orb because the recoil damage screws me over more than it helps me.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 142 HP/136 Atk/200 Def/32 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Roar
- Ice Punch
- Rest
---
Swampert helps Moltres block incoming Rock hits, and Moltres blocks Grass hits for Pert. Pert also kills Blissey and supports the team by p-hazing. SE STAB EQ isn't good for Tyranitars, and Ice Punch kills Dragons. Even though it doesn't do much, I'll still predict Celebi switch-ins with it too.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/100 Def/104 SAtk/52 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Recover
- Heal Bell
- Psychic
---
Celebi is a cleric for the team, helps stall Blissey, kills stuff with Psychic, and is generally annoying as hell. Moltres covers it from Bug hits (and Celebi/Swampert take Electric hits for Moltres).
