Hey Gary!

Wanted to say that on my version of this team, and when I used yours, I found Expert Belt much better. Does it score any extra KOs? I'm assuming +1 and it's amazing coverage should be more than enough to score necessary KO's, the only Pokemon I think you might actually prefer LO for is Terrakion, and I would need to calc to see if it would KO with/out it [and I'm too lazy >_>]. Anyway, so I recommend making that change. Next time I see you on the server I'll PM you with my version of the team, one currently sitting in top 10 on PS. Anyway, this is an AMAZING team, and really the only fix I can see is what other raters have suggested; using Expert Belt. You see, when being LO stalled, it put mounds of pressure on my playing. My opponent would play switch mind games with me for a desperate wins, (you know; the +3/-27 players -____-), and I found myself in a tough position because predicting at those points were key moments. At times, I would be badass and predict the switch games. However, other times, my opponent easily caught me off guard and LO stalled me out. It doesn't help when Gene actually tanks a single hit to set up a RP since it stalls out easier. Unless you're scoring notible KOs, I would suggest you switch to EB for the sake of easing pressure and abusing it's amazing coverage.

haha, wish you all the luck on the ladder (pls beat Megaballs and get #1 :DDDDDDD)
Shurt ;P

EDIT: was fighting someone using your team Gary, and trust me, they wanted Fire Punch on Jirachi. I was able to RP sweep with Gene at +1 Atk since Jirachi didn't carry Fire Punch. Change it back! Also LO stalled another player from you're Genesect. I guess people can copy this team, but not the player's talent using it since everyone on the ladder can't use you're team properly D:
