    Bronzong@Macho Brace
    SASSY
    252 HP / 84 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpD
    Trick/Hypnosis
    Stealth Rock
    Grass Knot
    Earthquake/Explosion

    Pretty reliable lead. I left Gyro Ball out because as a lead, I'd rather be able to dent the likes of Hippowdon, TTar. For Gyara leads, they will probably Taunt expecting me to set up SR or something, only to be hit by a Grass Knot XD

    Azelf@Choice Specs
    TIMID
    252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 HP
    Trick
    Flamethrower
    Psychic
    Thunderbolt

    Specs sweeper, used mainly for late game, but I will introduce it early if necessary. Has decent speed, and Trick is to ruin walls and tanks. No Grass Knot because it's already on 2 of my pokes.

    Dusknoir@Leftovers
    IMPISH
    252 HP / 28 Atk / 228 Def
    Earthquake/Thunderpunch
    Pain Split
    Will-o-wisp
    Shadow sneak

    Physical Tank. Spin Blocker. Can somebody suggest whether to use TPunch or EQ? If I use EQ then DD Gyara is going to cause me a problem, and the only other poke with an electric move on my team (Azelf) is eaten by DD Gyara.

    Empoleon@Petaya Berry
    MODEST
    12 HP / 12 Def / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
    Agility
    Substitute
    Surf
    Ice Beam

    A nice little underrated (arguably) strategy which fits in quite nicely with my team. Unaffected by Toxic Spikes and SR and Spikes do minimum damage to it, so it's often a safe switch in, especially with it's meaty defence. Agility then Sub, get the boost and proceed to sweep. Anything which does not carry Vacuum Wave or Mach Punch is not going to kill it with a priority move. Tentacruel and Vaporeon concern me however.

    Infernape@Life Orb
    HASTY
    64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
    Grass Knot
    Close Combat
    Flamethrower
    HP [Ice] 61

    The unpredicatbility of MixApe is genius. I decided to go for this moveset as dragons often switch into it only to be creamed by HP Ice. Great coverage and outspeeds many things.

    Salamence@Choice Scarf
    NAUGHTY
    252 Atk / 80 SpA / 176 Spe
    Hydro Pump
    Outrage/Dragon Claw
    Fire Blast
    Earthquake

    I'm not too sure wheter Scarfmence fits in too well with my team, but I'm gonna try him out because he is quite unpredictable and causes havoc to teams. Outspeeds almost anything and packs a punch.

    Rate away XD
     
    Bronzong has Levitate XD

    And why don't you think I should use MixMence?
     
    Archer said:
    I think he is refering to the mixed set with a Scarf. You lose a lot of power when you run a Scarf, so splitting your attacking spectrum further increases this power loss. I guess you're still running 252 Atk, but I think you can see what I mean.

    You mean Fire Blast and Hydro Pump will be weaker?
     
    On your scarfmence, consider running Draco Meteor>>Outrage/Dragon Claw. mence is a hit and run pokemon so the drop in special attack doesn't hurt too much. If you were to run Draco Meteor then your spread would be 252 SAtk/80 Atk/176 Spe with a mild nature.

    You have some problems with bulky waters, especially when Azelf is down so consider Grass Knot>>Ice Beam on subpetayaempoleon. The surprise value is nice because bulky waters are a common switch-in.

    Consider a tanky meta>>your current dusknoir set. Noone uses Rapid Spin anymore anyway.

    Metagross@Leftovers
    adamant nature
    204 HP/80 atk/224 def
    Meteor Mash
    Thunderpunch
    Earthquake
    Bullet Punch

    Gyara is a common switch in that will wall you so Tpunch has good surprise value and kills the opponents gyara. You don't have any priority so BP can really help with agility sweepers/DDTar.

    Just a few things to consider.

    ~OR
     
    Umm, please Gyro Ball>>Grass or you are auto Mence/DD Tar weak. "Like Swampert/Hippow can do anything to your team when you put them to sleep". :/

    252 HP / 68 ATT / 108 DEF / 82 SP.DEF @ Relaxed on Zong imo.

    Helps with dd tar and mence more.


    Specs Elf is Pursuit bait.

    Psychic/Flamethrower or Fire Blast/HP Fight or U-Turn/Boom @Life orb imo.


    Scarf Mence is also a really bad revenge killer.
     
    What if I replaced Scarfmence with Metagross and then changed Azelf to a Nasty Plot/Life Orb sweeper?
