Hi

Cool team doom! OK theres not much here to chance, I only have a very small change to make and that is to help defeat your Volcarona problems. As you've surely noticed, Volcarona forces you into a very annoying position, as if the suns up your forced to bring hippowdon in so stoutland can revenge, supplying it a free boost and leaving you having to sac a mon to bring stoutland in safely, and if the volcarona user is smart and thinks he can keep rocks off for a later sweep and withdraws, you could be in for trouble later. To defeat this problem, I suggest running a Hippowdon spread of 252HP/ 224Def/28SpD. This gurantees you survive against a +1 Volcarona Fire Blast in sand, and to get rid of volcarona all together I suggest Stone Edge > Whirlwind, as this gives you a really good chance to beat sun teams once volca is gone, as it is the only sun mon right now that your team has problems handling, and with it gone the rest of your team can adequately handle pretty much all common sun threats even in sun! Although the loss of PHazing can be annoying, Baton Pass teams are incredibly rare right now, and the ability to hit Volca and other levitators is really good for your team

GL with the team man! PS luvidsc :]
EDIT:timid volca, not modest sorry for not specifying and I think my calc was bad yah
