BattleStar, you can switch your dark horse anytime. Just remember to start a fresh account each time you restart the challenge with diff mons.
 
actually raikou is a really interesting pokemon to use in this metagme. weather ball kou is awesome, as the benefits received from rain (thunder, water ball) make raikou hard to get around. raikou also benefits from sun as fire ball lets him hit grass-types from something stronger than HP Ice. I forget if aura sphere is legal with weather ball (I can't imagine why it wouldn't be), but if it is raikou still has a use in the sand

Weather ball and Aura Sphere are legal together, raikou got both through the Movie event wich is imo the biggest drawback because being forced to run a rash nature sucks.

im so undecided lol
 
Okay, so if I wanted to use other Pokemon below 5% but not make them the basis of my team, then do I need to post them as well with my Dark Horse Pokemon?
Like I'm using Uxie to go with my Gallade, but it's meant for support, not as another Dark Horse so to speak

ShakeItUp using Mightyena? lol, considering his success in the Diversity Cup, I could see him making that work.

Also, Tangrowth is just so easy to work with.

Even if you suck at ou, cresselia is a fine Pokemon under sunlight for stopping many of the things sun has issues with (save for Tyranitar obviously). If you're not using her on a sun team then good luck...
