Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
That Shiftry set is even usable in UU from what the Smogon article says since it does survive a Ice Beam from Milotic. In regards to NU Sucker Punch is very useful to deal with Mesprit dealing 82.5% to 97.25%. Of course it gets the risk of being OHKO by Mesprit's U-Turn if it has. There is a 6%...
Roserade?! Sorry to disagree with you but I don't think Roserade is bracking too much the UU tier. Now looking at youre set:
Well there are two very good counters for youre Roserade:
First there is Houndoom:
4 Sp.Atk life orb Houndoom Overheat vs 0hp/0 Sp Def Roserade 157.47% - 185.06% - That...
Well Honchkrow is a good pokemon in its ouw right in RU! A very good sweeper in the right hands of the player. Myself I already got some victories thanks to this guy, however I don't belive it is broken and I present you why here.
For Exemple vs a Crustle
252 Atk Life Orb Honchkrow Brave Bird...
Well and who is the main source of the Screens? Cresselia that is. Well it appears that by every point we talk about Porygon-Z sweeping like in that previous case is by the help of the Cresselia's double screen!
First off the Bad thing about Porygon-Z according to its Smogon thread it's that there are 0! Yes you heard it right 0 Safe-Ins in the RU tier for it because it's Choice set can pretty much 2HKO everything on RU metagame be it with Dark Pulse, HP Fighting or Tri Attack (who can either cause...

Well to reignite the discussion I suppose I could talk a bit about my Cresellia's preformance. I have been using the SubCM set now the thing is that thing hasn't been impressing me (or probably it is the fact I don't have such a good RU team) I only manage to win once thanks to it and I needed...
Rain - Usually a good electiric type can beat Politoed which is the case of Magnezone who can usually at least 2HKO I belive with Thunderbolt. Other good counters for Politoed are the Latis which can kill it with a Calm Mind Boost and Draco Meteor respectively. If you are using hail team usually...
Druddigon is that kind of pokémon many people overlook since we are used to see Dragon type pokémon with quasi-god stats and such which Druddigon isn't apart from his very good Attack stat.
