Before posting, please read the rules that are stickied at the top of the forum. This forum isn't for us to suggest and build an entire team for you. You build the team. You put thought into it. You choose the movesets/EVs/Natures. We give you suggestions on how to make it better.

I'm going to say RSE for EVs, Natures, and Abilities.

Is this relevant? --- I think that, as long as it doesn't conflict with the metagame, what you feel comfortable in is best. Some of the best players feel comfortable with stall, and thus stall is high on the leaderboard. I've played some of the newer kids using an updated form of Obi stall...

The only Pokemon in OU that can repeatedly take Draco Meteors are Registeel, Blissey, and Cresselia. Of those three, Blissey is on every stall team, Cress on few, and Registeel on none. Blissey has to take the Draco Meteor every time on a standard stall team, and if it comes in on 3 Spikes, it...

I have no idea why you have such low rates on the poll. It's a nice team. I third the use of Trick on Latias lol. However I wouldn't go Modest. Latias likes being faster than Infernape and the OHKOing other CM Latias is nice and all, but they'll likely be Timid and outspeed you. It would be...

It's a nice team, although I do have a few minor suggestions. I would make Swampert physical with Avalanche over Ice Beam so you can actually threaten Latias. Replace Toxic Spikes on your Forretress with Spikes. None of your pokemon set up besides Gyarados, who's counters in Celebi, Starmie...

I feel that fire weaknesses really need to be avoided. You can disagree with me as most other newer people do, but any good Heatran user will sweep your team the moment your Gyarados is weakened. It has to come into Stealth Rock and has no form of recovery besides Leftovers :\ I would swap out...

If you would have read the entire post instead of just stopping at Garchomp's sprite, you wouldn't have pissed all over this thread. --- Nice team. As for your Magnezone, I'm using this neat little set; Magnezone@Leftovers Magnet Pull Modest 228 HP/164 SpA/116 Spe • Thunderbolt • Hidden Power...

This should have gone in the Creative Movesets thread in Stark Mountain. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55031

That 31% is probably the 31% used on stall teams.

Considering a good number of them have Toxic/are Specs doing 50%~ with Overheat along with the fact that Vaporeon is his Infernape counter, not that hard. Wish/Protect is terrible if you've been afflicted with Toxic which is on every non-choiced set. Sure you can wall the Scarfed sets, but...

Having more weaknesses to Fire than resistances is devastating. You have no idea how easy it is for Heatran to get through Vaporeon, if he is also you Gyarados/Infernape counter :P I would consider a Scarf/Trick Starmie over Jirachi. Surf/Thunderbolt/Icebeam has nice coverage, but you still have...

Sunny Day over Aerial Ace on Jumpluff. You won't believe how many opportunities that thing will get to set up on a team without a good grass type (You're still setting up even if they do lol) On Sunflora, Solarbeam is 100% superior to Energyball under the sun. I would consider dropping her for...

In platinum, I would never use Umbreon. It's slower than Scizor, does like 50% with Hidden Power Fire, and has absolutely nothing to hurt it back. It's granting your opponent a free U-Turn. I would use a Zapdos in that spot. It gives you a fighting resistance without being weak to dark, a...
