Lose Shadow Ball on Gengar you'll hardly ever use it go either kamikaze or Destiny Bond. That Snorlax set is iffy for GSC consider using the sleeptalk cursing Snorlax set if you do you might want to consider using Pursuit Tyranitar over Rhydon. Ice Beam on Suicune is meh and so is Hidden Power bug on Forretress your better off using Toxic and Reflect on them.

Toxic/Surf/Rest/Roar is usually the only good Suicune set worth using.

As novelty as it may sound, I've always found Toxic Rhydon to be fun, it's especially nasty when you can hit things like Exeggutor on the switch, then you can just Roar it (and the eventual Starmie that you'll hit with Toxic too) for Spikes and poison damage. However, you might just want to keep Thunder because Skarmory can kinda stall most of your team.

You might have a problem against Tentacruel, but other than that, for your first try at GSC this team is pretty solid.

Instead of trying random stuff like this, why not try a "theme-based" team like Spikes+Toxic, boom or something? It'll help u to focus on the game much more and improve faster. Just a suggestion. U dun have to follow it. =P

I personally like Ice Beam on Nite for the possibility of clutch freeze (plus, as it stands, your Nite can't go head to head with most other Nites).

ditch toxic on forry for reflect. toxic sucks. that way you can lose reflect on dragonite, since that's retarded. might as well take advantage of dragonite's attacking versatility. also, i prefer explosion over dbond on gengar, because there's a better chance you'll actually kill something with explosion.

dynamicpunch? i dont think so. put confuse ray over it. haze over destiny bond.

Slowbro (M) @ Leftovers
- Psychic
- Rest
- Surf
- Thunder Wave

hmm good enough. mint berry might work, but it dont matter really.

Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
- Reflect
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Wing Attack

on a pokemon like draggy, light screen is better. surf doesnt work either, put on t-wave instead.

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
- Explosion
- Rapid Spin
- Spikes
- Toxic

very nice. no adjustments needed.

Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers
- Earthquake
- Pursuit
- Roar
- Rock Slide

oh hell no. get crunch over pursuit, and fire blast over roar.

Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
- Curse
- Double-Edge
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

eq over sleep talk.
hmm, id give it a 7.5/10. not too bad, man.
