wow I thought this would never work if they used a skarm ,but it does I just went 9/10. Its suprisingly close too

Individually, skarm walls every member. But with things like SD virizion and Scizor, fire punch nite, and waterfall gyara in the rain, it will not be able to wall my team for long.

This is a really good team and a great example of screens offense in this metagame. My suggestions are minimal but I think they're beneficial. First off, I'd like you to try Moxie > Intimidate on Gyarados. The snowball effect it brings is just amazing; you've got screen support, the -1 Atk on opponents isn't that useful imo. Moxie's snowball effect is just incredible at tearing through the most slightly weakened team. I also think Gyara would be better off running Frustration over Double-Edge; the two recoils are really unappealing to me and I think you'll find that after you KO a Rotom, you'll be in its omnipresent partner Scizor's KO range from all the recoil you took (assuming SR is up and Reflect is down, which isn't exactly unrealistic). Frustration is only 18 BP lower and doesn't bring that annoying recoil. I would also drop Scizor's HP EVs down to 192 and then throw the remaining 32 into either defense or special defense, depending on what dragon you want to check better (Haxorus or Latios, respectively).
tl;dr Moxie > Intimidate and Frustration > Double-Edge Gyara, 192 HP and 32 (Sp)Def on Scizor
Other than that, this is a great team, grats on the 1k, gl!

Frustration always ohkos 4 hp rotom (scarf) after rocks, but it only has a 50% chance to ohko 112 Hp rotom (the one I can actually beat). I also lose to KO on Latios. However, you are right, double edge makes Gyara die alot faster and I find Scizor revenging it, and it should be the other way. Gyara is also my best bet against hail and obviously the recoil isn't helping against obamasnow. so yup, I'll probably make that change.
There are two reasons to run intimidate: Lucario and Dragonite. If it weren't for lucario I would definitely replace intimidate, but it really causes problems otherwise. Usually its the speed and recoil that stops Gyara from cleaning, not the power. For most games, moxie will help, but I need to be covered against lucario.
Also throwing that 32 into def / spdef, haven't decided. And those bodoms are pretty brutal, "chains of bestial rage", thanks for the rate!

I definitely echo the Frustration>Double Edge suggestion, as you'll still have enough power to KO Rotoms and stuff without the irritating recoil.
Also, great team.

Yup, I will probably be going with that.
Thanks :)
