Shameless self bump?

I see Gyarados as being a pretty big threat to your team. Offensive jolly Gyara at +1 can outspeed Jolteon and OHKO with an Earthquake, then heavily dent your Gyara and Dragonite with Stone Edge, Jirachi with Earthquake (if you've already tricked your scarf away), Hitmonlee will die to a +1...

Sure, it's your team. Just be wary that Azumarill isn't going to get a lot done by itself. It's gonna need support (which don't get me wrong, you have.)

Alright running through your team: Starting with your lead, Dusknoir. While original, it could use some tuning up. You should definitely put trick onto Dusknoir, as having a CB Noir the whole game is kind of a burden. Since you seem to like Ice Punch, replace Fire Punch instead. Forretress...

Well I've been testing the team out and I don't think there's any way I'm ever getting rid of Porygon-Z. I wouldn't say Suicune and PZ have the same rolls, cause Suicune can't revenge kill things. Sure it can force out Dragonite and Gyarados, but not Zapdos (or Starmie to an extent.) I think...

Good call! Not extremely worried about this - I'd probably have to fodder off one of my pokes, but then depending on the heatran's HP, I could revenge it with Mach Punch or Cress's HP Ground. I dunno about it... The question is who to replace? Azelf, Rachi, PZ, and Cress are pretty much out of...

I added Heatran to the threats list and put HP Ground onto Azelf. I've been using the doubletrick method on Poke Lab and it's been working pretty well - they very rarely expect me to have more than one trickscarfer. My team DOES still have a problem with Subtran and Lucario, though.

I agree with you completely, except for scarfed heatran is only a threat after Infernape is dead, because infernape can take a fire blast and kill with Close Combat. But I'll think about putting HP Ground on Azelf or P-Z. I think I'll keep Trick on P-Z, because Chances are Jirachi is going to...

Metallica :D Also, infernape seems to be a pretty big threat. It can outspeed Zapdos and KO with Stone Edge, Wreck SkarmBliss, and hit Jirachi with super effective stab fire moves. Scarf infernapes also run HP ice which will OHKO your flygon. Your team's typing is really well-rounded though...

Well, this is my first post on Smogon. I'm not new to the Pokemon metagame at all - in fact, I'm quite experienced. I just never felt the need to use these forums until now. I think the team is pretty well-rounded and I'd like to know your opinions. I started out with Life Orb Azelf. Ever...
