    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.

    Yes, i can see that lol.



    Bronzong @ Macho Brace
    Ability: Levitate
    EVs: 216 HP/202 Def/92 SDef
    Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
    - Gyro Ball
    - Earthquake
    - Stealth Rock
    - Trick

    Sleep leads are really uncommon in platinum thanks to the accuracy drop. Trick @macho brace is fun.

    Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Close Combat
    - Bullet Punch / Extremespeed
    - Crunch / Ice Punch

    - Swords Dance

    jolly is redundant, sure it was helpful when people tried using it to outrun mence and gliscor and what not, but the aformentioned pokes use + speed natures anyway now since they have caught on. Also without adamant the power loss is quite noticable. The priority is also uberly helpful.

    - Seismic Toss
    - Thunder Wave
    - Softboiled
    - Flamethrower / Ice Beam

    Is Aromatherapy redundant in this while I have Machamp? yes.

    Bold also helps less than calm =]

    Comments in bold.

    Well you cant do anything to Gyarados bar stone edge which wont ohko. Maybe you could shove hidden power elecric in on that mence set somewhere so you can at least revenge kill it....

    - Draco Meteor
    - Fire Blast
    - Earthquake Stone Edge is really only for fliers and other dragons. Which with HP electric and Draco, you have covered any way.
    - HP Electric
    The EV's are... pretty decent. Scarf you dont' need Dclaw, as you already have Draco Meteor. I understand with SpecsMence, you generally run Dpulse, as well, but you are extremely weak to Gyara, and coming in on a DD, you still won't KO with Stone Edge. Due to no attack nature, and 82 attack EV's. HP electric will be a much better attack to cover this.
    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.

    Lucario @ Life Orb
    Ability: Steadfast
    EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP
    Adament [+Attack, -Sp. Attack
    - Close Combat
    - Extremespeed / Bullet Punch
    - Crunch/Ice Punch/Bullet Punch
    - Swords Dance
    Never get rid of your Priority with Lucario. Adament nature insures you OHKO a large chunk of walls in the metagame. Pre-Platinum, it was usually Crunch/Stone edge which were questioned as they both covered different switch-ins. Stone edge for Dragons/Bulky Fliers, and Crunch was for Ghosts. Well now that we have Ice Punch, we don't really have a need for that low accuracy chance of losing the match. Bullet Punch, does effectivally the same thing, WITH added priority.
    The humble SDLuke. Still unsure of the second attack, as I feel Ice Punch is redundant on this.

    This is to keep your friendly fliers/Dragons from jumping in and lol'ing @ how little damage you do.

    Blissey @ Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure
    EVs:80 sp. att / 252 Defense / 176 Sp. Def
    Calm

    - Seismic Toss
    - Thunder Wave
    - Softboiled
    - Aromatherapy/Ice Beam
    You might consider Ice beam over Aroma, but thats negotiable. Calm nature is best for Aroma's, and Blissey doesn't take physical hits reguardless. 252 Defense is a must.
    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.

    Comments in Bold, I mainly agreed with a lot of D_A's suggestions.
