Thanks man, the sentiments are appreciated. As I stated, though, I'm honestly a little crazy, and I have 6,956 Battle Points as of the time of this post, so that's a little bit of an indication of how much I've put into this!

setris, if I can offer some advice...usually I am able to bounce my pokemon off of Trick Room pokemon's attacks when it's Gallade or Slowbro or Porygon2. You should know what move they are going to use, and therefore it was a good idea to switch Infernape into to likely a 4Enter text here.× NVE Signal Beam from Ampharos (since you knew which set Bronzong you were facing, you therefore knew which Ampharos you were facing too). Sure, there's a chance it uses Thunder Wave, but a Paralyzed Infernape is better than a Paralyzed or dead Latios. Then switching Metagross into the electric attack is the best course of action and going from there. Trick room will wear out before Ampharos can have a chance kill Metagross, and if somehow you're not able to EQ Ampharos, you have Infernape to severly dent if not kill it, and if Amphy still doesn't die, Latios cleans up probably,even given Magmar's Passho Berry. Just a good way of thinking about how to deal with Trick Room in general.
