    Yep, now that Garchomp is gone, as much as I hate it, it gives me a Chance To Really rethink my team and have some fun now that I can free up a Defensive wall or 2.

    Bronzong @ Leftovers

    [PokeCommunity.com] Whinners won... Garchomp is gone


    -Stealth Rock
    -Gyro Ball
    -EarthQuake
    -Rest/Explosion

    252 HP / 86 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpD
    Sassy

    My team Changed, Bronzong Didn't. Still here but instead of hypnosis, I decided to fill either explosion or rest.

    Gyarados @ Life Orb

    [PokeCommunity.com] Whinners won... Garchomp is gone


    -Dragon Dance
    -Aqua Tail
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge

    252 atk/216 spd/40 Hp
    Adamant

    My new Garchomp Might as well use it before this thing goes uber as well... bunch of whinners couldn't handle the land shark Standard physical sweeper. I went with adamant because Dragonite is the only pokemon worth doing jolly for, and Gyarados has no business switching or staying in with it.

    Starmie @ Leftovers

    [PokeCommunity.com] Whinners won... Garchomp is gone


    -ThunderBolt
    -Rapid Spin
    -Recover
    -Surf/Ice Beam

    160 HP / 132 SpA / 216 Spe
    Timid

    Standard spinner with the only difference being that I'm making Thunderbolt mandatory and still can't decide whether to go with Surf or Ice Beam.

    Blissey @ Leftovers

    [PokeCommunity.com] Whinners won... Garchomp is gone


    -Aromatherapy
    -Ice Beam
    -SoftBoiled
    -Thunder Wave

    252 Def / 40 SpA / 216 SpD
    Calm

    I really don't care about Seismic Toss. Please don't start telling me about how this set needs it because I don't have access to Emerald and I'd rather a direct attack anyway. I like mixing restzong with Aromatherapy.

    Gengar @ Wide Lens

    [PokeCommunity.com] Whinners won... Garchomp is gone


    -Thunder Bolt
    -Shadow Ball
    -Focus Blast
    -Hypnosis

    252 sp. atk/252 spd/4 hp
    Timid

    I like wide lens over Life Orb simply because with the sleep clause and the great type coverage from T-Bolt and Shadow Ball, I only use hypnosis and Focus Blast and very key moments and in those situations I can't afford to miss. Especially considering how fragile Gengar is.

    Dusknoir @ Leftovers

    [PokeCommunity.com] Whinners won... Garchomp is gone


    -Pain Split
    -Thunder Punch
    -Fire Punch
    -Will-O-Wisp
    252 hp/252 def/6 sp.def

    Say what you want, this thing is at least top 3 of all physical walls in the game. 3HKO for a Gyarados with aqua tail, with life orb and has picked up a DD?! It also provides my only means of defense for Heracross who otherwise rampages through my team (hence fire punch). Thunder Punch is for Gyarados and Starmie to suck it. and fire punch to cramp salamence and tyranitar.
     
    IMO,
    for Gyarados, Waterfall over Aqua Tail because of flinch rate and accuracy
     
    Hai, my name is Tyranitar and I can take down your entire team. Pursuit stop half of it even switching out.
    Gliscor over Dusknoir, please it can sort of deal with TTar and it counters other threats, such as Hera, a hell of a lot better.

    Bronzong really wants both Hypnosis and Lum Berry. I guess Ice Beam on Starmie would be intelligent as you lack a real way to deal with Mence. Mixed Variants, at least.
