The main goal of the team was to use Nattorei to come in on all the bulky waters and lay hazards while Slowbro gave me a nice core and counter to SS teams. Jirachi broke down walls pretty easily. After spikes, nothing could really handle it -- even stuff like Jellicent got 2hko'd after SR and Spikes. Landorus was there to get scout damage with hazards and U-turn and handle dangerous speed boosting threats and form a VoltTurn core.
Lucario and Raikou played cleanup -- Lucario moreso. I often used Raikou's bulk to handle bulky waters, Gengar, and more special attackers. He also tore down ran teams. I used Lucario over Terrakion so that I could get extra priority. Extremespeed gave me a really big advantage. After Jirachi does his thing (especially to opposing SpDef Jirachis, Gliscor, and Slowbro), Lucario can pretty much clean up most of the time.
I went on a crazy winning streak with this team (31-1-1), and then kind of leveled off at 1440...but I got here! Sitting pretty low now, doubt i'll be able to get it back up.
