Lost my enthusiasm for the game recently but I want to get it back. So that's why I've been playing around on Shoddy and made some revisions. I want this team to go Wi-Fi eventually so Platinum metagame it is. Here goes nothing.
Bronzong @ Leftovers/Lum Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 216 HP/202 Def/92 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Reflect/Hypnosis
Generic lead, still undecided about the 4th Move and in turn the item. I played around with the EVs a bit but I think they may still need work.

Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 82 Atk/176 Spd/252 SAtk
Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake/Stone Edge
- Dragon Claw
Kingdra counter. Hopefully there's enough EVs in speed to come in on a DD and still outspeed and OHKO with DM. If there are surplus EVs in Speed I can invest in Attack then please let me know, as I'm unsure of what speed the standard Kingdra will reach. Stone Edge is an option over EQ to help deal with Gyarados.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Ice Punch/Something else?
- Crunch
- Swords Dance
The humble SDLuke. Still unsure of the second attack, as I feel Ice Punch is redundant on this.

Snorlax @ Choice Band
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 156 HP/102 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Crunch
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Pursuit
This helps deal with Rotom. EVs give 500 HP with 250+ in both defences, coupled with 421 Attack means this thing could do some damage.

Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP/144 Atk/114 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dynamicpunch
- Payback/Fire Punch
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Status absorber, Payback to help against Psychics. Considering Fire Punch for Scizor.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 42 HP/252 Def/216 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave
- Softboiled
- Aromatherapy/Something else
Is Aromatherapy redundant in this while I have Machamp? If so, change plzkthnx. Bold Blissey has served me well in the past and I'm inclined to stick.

I know about the glaring Fighting weak, which is why I may replace Blissey with something else. All critisism accepted, still not too familiar with the Platinum metagame as of yet.
