My 2nd team!!! rate me up.

Jigo

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS TEAM. THERE ARE TOO MANY CHANGES THAT HAVE TO BE MADE. I WILL POST THE REVISED TEAM SOON.





No pics. Sry.

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Adamant
Intimidate
216 HP/16 Atk/176 Def/100 Spe

-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-EQ
-Taunt

Starter. Standard Bulkydos lead. Taunt rules. Can almost be a sweeper after a few Dragon Dances.

Roserade @ Wise Glasses
Timid
Natural Cure
252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP

-Leaf Storm
-Sludge Bomb
-HP [Fire]
-Sleep Powder

Special Sweeper. I love Roserade, but I don't know what to do with it! Leaf Storm and Sludge Bomb provide two strong STAB attacks. Hidden Power Fire for steels who resist both. Sleep Powder is self-explanitory.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Adamant
Inner Focus
252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP

-Close Combat
-Extremespeed
-Swords Dance
-Crunch

Physical Sweeper. Pretty much a standard SDLuke. Inner Focus is so that he won't keep flinching. Close Combat is for a strong STAB move. Extremespeed can take care of quick sweepers like Azelf, Infernape, and Alakazam. Crunch is so that he can hit ghosts.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Impish
Hyper Cutter
252 HP/252 Def/4 Atk

-EQ
-Ice Fang
-Stealth Rock
-Roost

Physical Wall. Gliscor is just plain good. It works in a sort of unison with Gyarados. Switches in on an electric attack, and can attack back with EQ, or lay down rocks as they switch out. Roost for survival.

Cresselia @ Leftovers
Bold
Levitate
252 HP/108 Def/148 SpD

-Ice Beam
-Charge Beam
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Mixed Wall. Dragon Counter. Charge Beam for Gyarados. RestTalk to last longer.

Azelf @ Choice Specs
Mild
Levitate
200 SpA/252 Spe/ 56 Atk

-Psychic
-Flamethrower
-Grass Knot/Thunderbolt
-Explosion

I have recently fallen in love with this thing. I can't get enough of it. Psychich for STAB, Flamethower for Steels, and Explosion when I'm done. I used to run U-turn over Grass Knot, but i found that Grass Knot helps more against Tyranitar and Bulky Waters.

ANY HELP IS GLADLY WELCOME!!!!!

(changes in bold)
 
If you like the idea of a Spec'd Grass type try Shaymin with its amazing attack, Seed Flare.

Lucario wants a Life Orb to ensure certain kills.
 
Should I trade Azelf's Life Orb for Choice Specs then? and go with Wise Glasses on Roserade? I don't like the idea of two life orbs.
 
I would give Roserade a Choice Scarf (which is my favourite way of using her), then you could stick with Sleep Powder.

You could run T-Bolt over Grass Knot on Azelf since you already got a powerful Grass Attack on Roserade

And I'd recommend RestTalk on Cresselia, as not only will it help her last longer, it will also protect her against Status and she could somewhat be your Status absorber. You can still stick with Reflect or T-Wave in the last slot, though Charge beam is also an option
 
I dunno about Roserade on your team. I've always prefered the toxic spiking version myself but I wouldn't suggest that either. Instead I think you should replace it with something to cover up your Gyrados/Gengar weak. Gengar seems the most threatening of the two since you can put charge beam on Cress to deal with the former
 
Use Steadfast for Lucario.Why?

Scenario 1: Inner Focus: Something tries to Flinch you. You attack back and kill it.

Scenario 2: Steadfast: Something Flinches you. You Flinch. Your speed raises. You KO it the next turn thanks to the speed boost.

Both take equal damage, and one of them leaves you with a speed boost. Only reason I see you would want to win sooner is a burn (you should never let SDLuke get burned anyway) or Hail (not that significant unless you're low on HP)

Click to expand...

Except for the fact that the best flinches in the game (Air Slash from Togekiss/Yanamega) are backed up with Speed Boost/Paralysis. +1 Speed isn't really going to help all that much anyways. You shouldn't even let Flinches touch you anyways.

Giving Azelf Choice Specs really hampers its Blissey killing abilities. If you don't like 2 Life Orbs try something else here, 2 Psychics isn't really a good idea.

Earthquake+Waterfall is really poor coverage, try Ice Fang or Stone Edge/Return to pair with Earthquake and Waterfall respectively.

Now that I look again, how do you handle various Sub/CM pokemon such as Raikou or Mismagius?
