It could work well in theory, but I doubt Alakazam will get both screens up since its not ver ybulky. Deo worked cause it had a fair amount of bulk backing the sped up.
If you want a dual screen lead, I think its best to stick to

Bronzong @ Light Clay
Sassy
EV's: 252HP / 144Def / 114SpD
Heatproof
~Light Screen
~Reflect
~Stealth Rock
~Gyro Ball

Granted you dont stop the opponents' rocks, but you get your own. Heatproof would be the good option as the popularity of Azelf and Infernape leads is going up, it may enable you to last that one crucial turn more to complete your setup.

Alakazam@ choice band
252 atk/252 spe/6 hp

How is Gengar in the metagame

I know its a really good Pokemon but has it been shunned like Garchomp because of that fact or do ppl still use it?

EDIT: Also how are these EVs for a Physical Sweeper Floatzel?:

HP:252,Att:129,Spd: 110

Garchomp's banned now, actually. But regardless, yeah, people still use it.

The EV's are fine if you don't want to use standard.

Thought so, but what do you mean by banned? I thought everyone decided that he is just too powerful for Wifi

and standard just means like a regular tier? not really sweeper or any other category?

EDIT: how about these for Floatzel, Physical Sweeper?:

HP: 40,Att: 2,Def: 252,Spd: 216

Lax... LAX?

1) Lax is one of the most useless ass natures ever.
2) If you don't use EV's, nobody can give you a set. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

true, EVs is essential probably the most important, if you don't have EVs, then we cant do anything for you :/



Anyways i gotta question about Choice Band on Staraptor

I tried it on Shoddy and while battling a Hitmontop with my Staraptor, the only move my Staraptor could use was Close Combat 0.o

Why?
 
Lax? um......... why dont you try Modest, Niave,Adamant,Jolly,Lonely,Naughty,or Timid?

Because thats what choice band does. It limits you to one move and increases the power of that move by 1.5 (50%), you can switch moves when you switch out.

I think it applies for Wi-fi and Shoddy. Not sure, though.

Standard means like...a certain generic set.

E.g;

Gengar@Choice Scarf
Levitate
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest/Timid
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Trick
HP Ice / Thunderbolt.

^ That's pretty much what a standard set for Gengar is.

Critique in bold. I wouldn't recommend 'Vire as a lead; put Ludicolo as the lead.
 
Since my trick room team failed like John McCain winning Presidency, I tried to revamp it with new members. Could someone rate these three members?

Rhypherior @ Life Orb
Brave/Solid Rock
252 atk/252 hp/6 def
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Megahorn


Slowking @ Lum Berry
Quiet/Own Tempo
252 sp. atk/ 250 sp. def/ 8 hp
-Trick Room
-Surf
-Grass Knot/Flamethrower/Nasty Plot
-Ice beam/Nasty Plot


Dragonite @ Life Orb
Quiet/Inner Focus
252 sp. atk/ 126 def/126 sp. def/6 atk (Unsure about EVs)
-Draco Meteor
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Superpower

help on movesets and EVs would be appreciated.

212 HP / 44 Def / 252 Sp Att
-Trick Room
-Surf
-Grass Knot/Flamethrower/Nasty Plot
-Ice beam/HP Electric/Nasty Plot

Go with those EV's. Calm mind is also an option...The last slots are really preference, but NP is always nice to boost his power.


Dragonite @ Life Orb
Quiet/Inner Focus
252 sp. atk/ 126 def/126 sp. def/6 atk (Unsure about EVs)
-Draco Meteor
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Superpower

Unsure about this...Dragonite seems a bit too fast for trick room, even with the quiet nature. If you're going mixed, you shouldn't really be wasting EVs on his defenses. I'd shift some to Attack and HP.

help on movesets and EVs would be appreciated.

^eww...McCain could epicly pull of a Trick Room team.

You'll need a bit of support from your other team members, but it's a decent start I suppose.

Quilava / Typhlosion cannot learn Explosion. Focus Punch so you're not walled by Snorlax / Blissey / Heatran.
