Lets see how my team looks like right now.Hi all, its has been (FOUR years) since I really played Pokemon, so my old team has gotten a bit rusty. Back in the day it was doing most decent, even though I had a major weakness to other dragons. Mainly Latios was my biggest threat, why I couldn't kill any Blissey after Garchomp got killed. Also Cloyster with that Shell breaking technique really gets the best of me...
Now, I am back. I still would like to fight with dragons, as I think they're the most fun type to play with. Offcourse, many more weaknesses has come... Fairy? Never heard of that type. Did some testing, but it seems I can't kill though them with ANY dragon type move. This is bad. Sure, I can still kill them, but need some help against those. Especially Hyper Voice(?!) is extremely deadly.
Team v1:
Team v2:
Latias as a double screen guard was really outdated... I think her typing isn't suited for that job anymore. Still, she gets the Defog skill, which is really useful in clearing Stealth Rocks or spikes, which will make the life of Charizard and Gyarados easier. Recover goes above Roost, so I will never be harmed by Earthquake and such. Dragon Pulse to use my attack move more often. Draco Meteor is just not doing it anymore...Latias @ Leftovers

Garchomp used to be my main physical attacker. Great strength and his Focus Sash will make sure he gets my Stealth Rock up. Nice set, thanks -Latios-! I now know what you mean with getting locked into Outrage. I forget I couldn't switch out in the mean time... Would this also be against Fairies? Or will the move "fail" and make me free to pick a new option?Garchomp @ Focus Sash

Kingdra is gone... I guess I didn't really need more Ice protection, then I already had. Goodra is really the replacement of Kyurem. Kyurem was my stall / annoy unit, but with Kyurem-Black in the team, I can't use him anymore :( Goodra isn't as good, but he gets the job done. Great switch in against any Grass type. Gave him Flamethrower for Ferrothorn, I see alot of those out there. Also can handle Skarmory, but not as great. Might've liked some healing on him, other then Leftovers.Goodra @ Leftovers

New Kyurem set. Much stronger then the last one. Kyurem does big damage. I do want something over Stone Edge. Without Super Effective damage and/or crit it isn't the next greatest thing. What skill would you guess get over it? I believe Kyurem can't get Earthquake, any suggestions? I feel he should get Outrage, just because of his insane base strength.Kyurem-Black @ Choice Scarf

Stall Gyarados. I needed Thunder Wave for those pesky Choice Scarf fighters. Any reason why Gyarados is still flying type this gen? I figured they might've replace it and made it a pure water type. Still, only weak to Stealth Rock, while it doesn't mind fighting moves. Many people think this is a dragon and spam dragon moves against it (which I don't care). Bounce is nice, but does cost a turn to set up. I can also inflict PAR to my opponent (30% chance), but they might switch out into something steely and hurt me more... Waterfall for flinch hax, or just a nice STAB move. Earthquake... Because... MegaCharizard? Used to be Roar. I think I might like Roar back, since I can't Phaze at all at the moment.Gyarados @ Leftovers

I just really disliked Charizard-X. But this is a great unit to have in my party. Alot of people think it IS X. So they through things at me, that don't really hurt. Ancient Power is there for Heatrans, or Charizard-X. Not really sure if I should get something above Flamethrower, it seems a bit weak.Charizard-Mega-Y @ Charizardite Y

Hope to receive some nice feedback :)My dragon team in a nutshell. Sure, I know mono teams don't tend to work out well, but it is really fun to use team. I would to try and reach the max potential of a dragon team, WITH Gyarados (or other dragonlike pokemon) in it. I haven't scouted Serebii much for the types and such, but probably need to buy either X/Y to get fully into this... I am an "older" player, so I might not learn as quickly as I used to do.
Right now Fairy types are my main thread, while Steel types also hurt. Maybe you can point out other weaknesses, while I just play around with this team. You are allowed to replace EVERYTHING. But I think I really want to keep that Kyurem set.
Some options I am considering right now...
