Hey, I made this new and good VGC 2012 Goodstuffs team. Thank you for all rates and comments!
Officially the most used pokemon in this metagame and it's obvious why. Electric Gem Thunderbolt OHKOes Jellicent and all water pokemon. I run Hidden Power Ice because this team lacks Ice-Type moves to KO Dragon Types. Heat Wave to crit down on Metagross and OHKO Abomasnow unless it's sashed. Zapdos also carries Tailwind to maximize my speed and just in case I am slower than my opponent.
Hitmontop (M) @ Fight Gem
Along Zapdos, there's Hitmontop. Fake Out is a given move. Fight Gem Close Combat OHKOes Tyranitar and does major damage to fighting-weak pokemon. Sucker Punch is mainly for KOing and doing damage to Jellicent, Cresselia, Chandelure, and Reuniclus. Detect is to last an extra turn.
Tyranitar (M) @ Focus Sash (Chople Berry)
Tyranitar is another Pokemon to deal Super-Effective Damage. Chople Berry is to level-down CCs from Hitmontop. Crunch to KO all Dark type pokemon like Cresselia, Chandelure, and Jellicent. Rock Slide is really to do damage to Zapdos and to try and flinch the opponent. Tyranitar is mainly to cancel other weathers, and to sweep in the back.
Cresselia (F) @ Chesto Berry
(Previously Scizor) Is still be discussed, so I will not really post a description.

Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rest
- Ice Beam (used to be Reflect)
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave
Cresselia is a favored Pokemon to me and fits right into this team due to bulk and many other reasons. The main purpose is to start Cress with Hitmontop and pretty much spread Thunder Wave to everyone to paralyze. Then, I set up Reflect. After, I either Psychic to Pokemon who are weak, Rest to bring back HP and wake up with Chesto Berry, or start the Thunder Wave cycle over again.
Thanks to everyone who helps! Also, let me know if I should make things better like descriptions. Thanks once again!
