    Pretty much all standard. And for those of you who hate Blissey *cough*Frosty*cough*...whatever...I might of typed some of the EVs incorrectly..sleepy right now.

    You know in the NB BattleDex when you select a move to look at? There's a square along the bottom that says "King's Rock, Contact Move, Brightpowder, and some 4th thing". What does it mean if the PokeBall to the side of it is lit? Been wondering that for a while...
     
    Now now, when my Gengar moveset Gdrain/tbolt/sub/fpunch sweeps everyone on this team except possibly Aerodactyl (who Gengar can fry in one tbolt after its rock slide fail to OHKO Gengar), you know that that's just not right...


    Aerodactyl- definitely take off leftovers for another item, such as stat boosting berry, lum berry or even choice band. You won't survive that long anyway. Also consider the other possbilities of hidden power (physical) over double edge

    Blissey- sick... move all sp.def to hp, and the 6 point of speed to sp.def. With this setup, sp.def still do no damage, and now the evil egg just got a way better physical defense... haven't seen a counter-less Blissey in a LONG while. Don't really hate Blissey anymore, as I know that if I'm using OUs I can beat it (just can't beat it at all if I'm using UU, but some day I will kick its butt)

    Starmie- I guess that this is personal preference, but I like stat boosting berry over leftovers when Starmie got nothing to tank with. Also take a speed bonus nature instead of modest, as you will need the speed. Moveset is fine I guess

    Weezing- I'm still rather doubtful regarding the EV section. Weezing without hp dies quite easily...

    Gengar- what the heck is sludge bomb doing here, is completely beyond me... change that to giga drain so that it isn't another Starmie with no surf but has destiny bond. If you want a physical attack on Gengar, it should be focus punch or the more useful shadow ball. Sludge bomb kills nothing but Ludicolo. Offensively, poison is pretty terrible. Again, speed plus nature.

    Slaking- leftovers most likely should go out for something else... I'll take lum berry so you don't have to rely on heal beller so much.


    As for the question, it signifies what applies to what.

    -if a move got the pokeball lit up for contact move, then that means the move is a direct move and can activate certain abilities like cute charm or effect spore
    -kings rock means that if kings rock is attached to the Pokemon using this move, there maybe an extra flinch effect
    -sound move just tells you which are the soundmoves that get blocked out by soundproof, and is rather useless because no one uses any soundmove but roar
    -brightpowder talks of which moves will be less accurate and possibly fail because of the opponent holding brightpowder
