I have been using this combo in my team, and it simply wrecks. However, I have a few changes;
- On Groudon, you want 252 HP/252 Def/4 Speed, Impish in order to take on Extremekiller.
- Stealth Rock > Thunder Wave on Groudon
- Palkia should really be Scarf in order to revenge stuff easily, and in order to take on Scarf Kyogre better which is the #1 threat to this combination
- On Ho-oh, is Regenerator even released?
- Ho-oh should really be Substitute + Roost, best Ho-oh out there. 248 HP/252 Attack/8 Speed should suffice.


Ho-oh <3
