    Yeah, what else is new, another roster for people to judge. These are just a few competition Pokemon I've been trying out.

    Metagross @ Leftovers
    Adamant // 252atk 252spd 4hp
    - Meteor Mash
    - Zen Headbutt
    - Earthquake
    - Hammer Arm

    'nuff said. I had Wide Lens on it earlier, but it has the defense to take a few hits if the moves don't land. N00bs will probably toss ineffective moves which will be absorbed by Leftovers. *snicker*

    Garchomp @ Choice Band
    Adamant // 252atk 252spd 4hp
    - Outrage
    - Earthquake
    - Fire Fang
    - Crunch

    Spams Outrage until a Steel-element switches in, then I switch it out. When it comes back later, it has a good, varied moveset to work with. Any suggestions over FF or Crunch?

    Alakazam @ Focus Sash
    Modest // 252spatk 252spd 4hp
    - Psychic
    - Shadow Ball
    - Energy Ball
    - Focus Blast

    Anything that gets to attack before I kill it *coughWeavile* will OHKO 'zam, ergo the sash. Blast it away. *crosses fingers*

    Porygon-Z @ Focus Sash
    Modest // 252spatk 252spd 4hp
    - Tri Attack
    - Ice Beam
    - Thunderbolt
    - Dark Pulse

    Its core purpose is my dragoon. I could use Glaceon instead since she has about the same spatk stat, but Porygon-Z has a better moveset for a special sweeper. Since Garchomp and Salamence are going to OHKO it, sash it, then counterOHKO with Ice Beam. :D

    Gengar @ Wide Lens
    Timid // 252spatk 252spd 4hp
    - Hypnosis
    - Shadow Ball
    - Psychic
    - Focus Blast

    A viable Alakazam substitute. Better? Worse? Would be better for imparing enemy Pokemon.

    Rattata @ Focus Sash
    - Endeavor
    - Quick Attack

    Confusing? Leave this one to people who know what the Rattata of Death is. Does it really matter what nature or EVs this thing has? I'm considering using it, but I don't know if I want to give up a slot on my team. If it's down to just this and the enemy has more than one Pokemon left, I've lost.

    Heracross @ Wide Lens
    Adamant // 252atk 252spd 4hp
    - Megahorn
    - Close Combat
    - Aerial Ace
    - Stone Edge

    Don't bother screaming Choice Scarf at me. I don't want to end up facing something that resists whatever move I'm spamming. Wide Lens makes sure Heracross's wrathful moves hit their mark, boosting each move's accuracy by 10%. This this has OHKOd just about everything it's fought anyways, including six random kids' Dialgas.

    Togekiss @ Leftovers
    Modest // 100def 100spatk 100spdef 210spd
    - Air Slash
    - Aura Sphere
    - Flamethrower
    - Grass Knot

    Weird EV spread, some might say, but this Pokemon is good in each stat and I wanted to make sure of that. With Air Slash and Serene Grace, this thing can keep most enemy Pokemon suppressed until they accept it and die. :P Aura Sphere is obvious. Flamethrower mainly for Metagross and other Steels, Grass Knot for hulks like Rhyperior.
     
    Woot, Rattata of Death strikes again. ^_^

    I love how Porygon is an anti-dragon, but Garchomp could get rid of Crunch or Fire Fang, but Fire Fang will take most Ice-Types, but Crunch could be useful for Froslass and other ghost/Psychics.

    I'm sorry I don't see the use for Energy Ball, but I think Gengar is a bit more useful than Alakazam, considering EQ and Physical-Normal Attacks don't affect it, however that might not be too much useful except for countering Return or Frustration, so it's your call.

    Gengar @ Wide Lens
    Timid // 252spatk 252spd 4hp
    - Hypnosis
    - Shadow Ball
    - Psychic
    - Focus Blast

    A viable Alakazam substitute. Better? Worse? Would be better for imparing enemy Pokemon. I'd say this one is better than the Alakazam since it's more stable and reliable. If you got into a battle with a Sleep Clause, then you might want to use Alakazam since Hypnosis loses a lot of it's usefullness

    Rattata @ Focus Sash
    - Endeavor
    - Quick Attack

XD You could put him in the front so that you don't end up with only him left.

    Those are some impressive pokemon you've got there. Very nice job.

    Truthfully, it was the only other good move I could have given it, but it's useful against hulking Ground types like Swampert, Rhyperior, and the like. I was thinking of giving it Choice Specs though. 400 special attack, STAB with Psychic, and upped by half? I think I could even take out a Steel or another Psychic with that kind of firepower! :D

    RoD up front? Hm, could work. That's just make the battle a 5v5. My only worry about using it at all is that someone will see it coming, give Rattata a tiny jab first, and decompile the entire strategy. It'd definitely be useable against those irritating ninja Weaviles... I hate 'em so much. >.<
     
    you need a rapid spinner if you're going to pull off endeavor rattata. if it switches into spikes or stealth rock, focus sash becomes useless.
     
    Which means I'd have to make more room in my team. >.< I don't think all these sacrifices in my team are necessary just for a kamikaze rat.
     
    Anyone else think I should Togekiss for something more fiery? Any suggestions?

    By "Fiery", do you mean a fire type, someone who can pwn more, or something else? I don't really get the question. x.x

    I think explosion over hammer arm would be alot better. If you do not have access to the other elemental punches anyway. Not too sure you need Zen headbutt, but it is good for stab.

    Garchomp @ Choice Band
    Adamant // 252atk 252spd 4hp
    - Outrage
    - Earthquake
    - Fire Fang
    - Crunch/Stone edge

    Spams Outrage until a Steel-element switches in, then I switch it out. When it comes back later, it has a good, varied moveset to work with. Any suggestions over FF or Crunch?

    Stone Edge takes out Mence and other flyers that youll probably run into. I suggest that over crunch.

    Alakazam @ Focus Sash
    Modest // 252spatk 252spd 4hp
    - Psychic
    - Shadow Ball
    - Energy Ball
    - Focus Blast

    Anything that gets to attack before I kill it *coughWeavile* will OHKO 'zam, ergo the sash. Blast it away. *crosses fingers*

    Porygon-Z @ Focus Sash
    Modest // 252spatk 252spd 4hp
    - Tri Attack
    - Ice Beam
    - Thunderbolt
    - Dark Pulse

    Its core purpose is my dragoon. I could use Glaceon instead since she has about the same spatk stat, but Porygon-Z has a better moveset for a special sweeper. Since Garchomp and Salamence are going to OHKO it, sash it, then counterOHKO with Ice Beam. :D

    Gengar @ Wide Lens
    Timid // 252spatk 252spd 4hp
    - Hypnosis
    - Shadow Ball
    - Psychic
    - Focus Blast

    A viable Alakazam substitute. Better? Worse? Would be better for imparing enemy Pokemon.

    Are you using Alakazam and Gengar on the same team? I am a bit Confused. That doesnt seem smart to do.... Ill have to wait to comment on this later until you say which your using if not both. Alakazam supports the speed as he is very fast but Gengar has somewhat of a support element and also has a good ability(levitate) Its really a matter of preference

    Rattata @ Focus Sash
    - Endeavor
    - Quick Attack

    Confusing? Leave this one to people who know what the Rattata of Death is. Does it really matter what nature or EVs this thing has? I'm considering using it, but I don't know if I want to give up a slot on my team. If it's down to just this and the enemy has more than one Pokemon left, I've lost.

    With no rapid spin support this strat goes down the drain and rattata becomes a wasted slot. Spikes and SR run this strat into the ground.

    Heracross @ Wide Lens//Choice band/Life orb
    Adamant // 252atk 252spd 4hp
    - Megahorn
    - Close Combat
    - Aerial Ace
    - Stone Edge

    Don't bother screaming Choice Scarf at me. I don't want to end up facing something that resists whatever move I'm spamming. Wide Lens makes sure Heracross's wrathful moves hit their mark, boosting each move's accuracy by 10%. This this has OHKOd just about everything it's fought anyways, including six random kids' Dialgas.

    Yeah i agree about choice scarf. Your EV spread is enough to out run major threats. So Maybe an item change and your fine

    Togekiss @ Leftovers
    Modest // 100def 100spatk 100spdef 210spd
    - Air Slash
    - Aura Sphere
    - Flamethrower
    - Grass Knot/

With Air Slash and Serene Grace, this thing can keep most enemy Pokemon suppressed until they accept it and die. :P Aura Sphere is obvious. Flamethrower mainly for Metagross and other Steels, Grass Knot for hulks like Rhyperior.

    Yes weird ev spread but could be very effective. Movelist is fine too

    Alright everything I have suggested is in bold. Not too sure what your gonna do with Zam and Gengar though but hope that helps.
     
    I was distracted while typing that, don't mind me. XDD.

    *nod* Outrage would OHKO Salamence with better accuracy, though SE is good for other fliers.

    Since I listed more than six it's safe to assume I'm deciding between 'zam and 'gar. The Gengar I haven't actually trained up yet, though.
     
    Personally, I think gengar is probably best for your team

    Gangar @ timid nature

    Thunderbolt
    Hypnosis
    Shadowball
    Hp Ice/energy ball

    Hp ice for pseudo Bolt/beam combo or energy ball to take out annoying bulky waters such as swampert.
