Great team, alexwolf! I love to see the use of Weavile in OU. <See what I did there. Lol. Inside joke!

So as far as suggestions go, I think Mr. Green's is by far the best here. Stone Edge will definitely cover your immense Volcarona weakness up very nicely. Also, it helps revenge those Sashed Dragons with Outrage, (Here's to you, Salamence) using its raw STAB power + Outrage (+ RoughSkin to finish it off, even if it does somehow manage to set up a second DD to outpace you the second turn. So, it's safe to say that Garchomp can switch in to Salamence easily. Same goes for a predicted +1 QD from Volcarona threats on Deoxys-D.

Now, another way that this weakness can be coverd would be to replace Kingdra for something like Heatran, to take Fire attacks aimed at Breloom, Weavile and perhaps the emergency switch in on an Ice attack aimed at Garchomp. However, if I'm going to suggest Heatran, I'd suggest using AirBaloon, so that's why Ice attack switch ins would only be for an emergency.

So far, it's all I can see that would help. Great luck with the team and I hope this helped!
