Stall is effective on the ladder simply because it's a brainless autopilot formulaic strategy while remaining very effective in that way. Explain to me how stall is anymore "brainless" than offence. (I suck at quoting)

"Earthquake hits Magmortar and Regirock super effectively, while Hidden Power Fire receives a boost from the sun." Why is earthquake mentioned for regirock when you have solarbeam? 252SpA Naive Lifeorb Solarbeam vs 252hp/252SpD Careful Regirock = 68.1%-80.8% 0Atk Naive Lifeorb Earthquake...

Lucario is hardpressed to set up...the only moves it can surely set up on are Dragonite's E-speed and Stone edge from flygonn, I don't see how its much of a problem...

Not much of an actual rate, but trick room is -7 priority, you realize this right? Even with choice scarf and prankster, whimsicott is still using a -6 priority move, which will still go after anything but a phazing move.

Whoa, chill with the hate and "I don't use standards" attitude. Standard sets are standard for a reason (they work), and your sets do nothing notable that a standard set couldn't do. Also, this team lacks a real game plan, and just seems like 6 random pokes thrown together... But for changes...

Agreeing with everything Limitless said, but if you do decide to keep Latias, change Substitute or Refresh for Recover, as they're quite redundant together.

Agreeing with the change of Flygon moveset, since this team has no real way of breaking rest talk gyara... (outside of suicune, which it will switch out of most of the time) Also, Skarmory doesn't wall Lucario, even 252hp/252Def Impish Skarmory is ohko'd by a +2 Close Combat after SR.

Swift swim with drizzle is illegal, so ludicolo is pretty rare... Cloyster can't really set up on anything, and is outsped by Excadrill in sand (if i'm not mistaken). Also, genesect is illegal to use in any ladder outside of dw, which this isn't even for that tier.

That spiritomb is still 2hko'd by lo starmie hydro pump the majority of the time (even without stealth rock).

Great team, but mixed Dragonite, Shaymin, and Starmie have a field day with it. LO 252 Spa Timid Shaymin Seed Flare vs your Weezing : 42.5%-50.3% LO 252 Spa Timid Shaymin Seed Flare vs your Gyarados : 53.7%-63.4% Once Shaymin gets in, which it can on 4 members of your team with ease...

Change Hasty to Jolly on salamence, and move the 4 SpA points into SpD or Def, this is pointless in this generation due to the changes to sturdy, which prevents SKarmory from being ohko'd by Fireblast without Stealth rocks (which is what the EVs/nature were for last gen).

Interesting team, although I do not have time for a proper rate, I'd like to point out that EV's only give a stat point for every 4 EV's... so changing your EV spreads on Skarmory, Frosslass, and Infernape to 252/252/4 would give you one extra point in a stat. Ninja'd by 28 seconds ):

I don't see how you could paralyze Thundurus, considering it OHKOs both of your T-wavers at +2 (even with lum berry). Every team has it's flaws i suppose...

6-0'd by NP thundurus once it gets a boost... Blissey over Clefable possibly? Also, change Relaxed to Impish on Hippowdon, still raises def and lowers special attack instead of speed, which could be useful in potential speed ties.

Have you considered changing rapid spin on forretress? Seems overlysituational with espeon also being on the team
