    Hey, I am trying again on my emerald file, with the intention of getting a latios for the battle tower. Here is the team I am planning on making for the battle tower, could you guys tell me whats wrong with it, or what to improve? I want to get at least 52 straight wins.

    Metagross - Impish
    @Shell Bell
    252 HP / 16 Atk / 164 Def / 64 SpD / 12 Spe
    ~ Meteor Mash
    ~ Earthquake
    ~ Rest
    ~ Sleep Talk


    Swampert - Relaxed
    @Leftovers
    252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SpA

    Earthquake
    Surf
    Ice Beam
    Protect

    Latios -???
    @ Lum Berry
    Dragon Dance
    Sadow ball
    Earthquake
    Recover


    I want to be able to reuse this on the platinum battle tower, so any help fixing this team would be aprreciated.
     
    AgiliGross could replace your bulky RestTalk Gross here very efficiently.

    Metagross - Adamant
    @Shell Bell
    252 Atk / 96 Spe / 160 HP (252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP)
    ~ Meteor Mash
    ~ Earthquake
    ~ Explosion
    ~ Agility

    Agility and you become faster than anything and then just sweep. If on low HP, explode.

    The set doesn't quite work as well in platinum, but a heckload more stuff does. Everything *smogon.com link removed* can give a load of trouble to the Battle Frontier.

    The rest of it's alright, but there's an incredibly godly Alakazam set that you might want to think about.

    Alakazam - Modest
    @Leftovers
    Fire Punch
    Psychic
    Ice Punch
    Calm Mind/Recover/Thunder Punch

    Because these moves are special in RS, it makes Alakazam a god. Especially after one Calm Mind.
