The Team: Gengar, Suicune, Honchkrow, Donphan, Infernape, Deoxys-E.
Tier Format: Overused. (OU)
Game Format: Shoddy/WiFi.
Move Changes will be in Red.
Item Changes will be in Blue.

The Reason I made this team: My Flygon team reeks, so here's a brand new balanced post-Chomp Era team.

Special thanks to PokemonDatabase for the sprites.

Here We Go!

gengar.png

Pokemon #1: Gengar, the Shadow Pokemon.
Gender: Male.
Nickname: DarkDealer a.k.a. the DarkArtisan.
Held Item: Black Sludge. / Petaya Berry.
Trait: Levitate. / Nature: Timid: (+Spd, -Atk.)
EVs: 252SpAtk, 252Spd, 6HP.
- Hypnosis.
- Shadow Ball.
- Focus Blast.
- Substitute.
Why I chose DarkDealer? He's my new lead Pokemon. It's fast enough to hit Hypnosis on Bronzong but not enough to outspeed Aerodactyl and Deoxys. Unless I open off against Alakazam, for example, I'll start off with Substitute, then next turn attack with STAB Shadow Ball. As for Focus Blast, It's for Weavile, Regirock, Rhyperior, and Regice.
Dark Dealer's Threats: Aerodactyl, Deoxys-E.

Pokemon #2: Suicune, the Aurora Pokemon.
Gender: None.
Nickname: HydroGhost.
Held Item: Leftovers.
Trait: Pressure. / Nature: Bold. (+Def, -Atk.)
EVs: 252HP, 252Def, 6SpAtk.
-Calm Mind.
-Surf.
-Hidden Power: Electric. (I forgot to change it.)
-Roar.
Why I chose HydroGhost? - This will, once again, be my wall/attacker, I'll set it up with Calm Mind with support from Sub, and as I say "let the mayhem begin". Surf for STAB to take out Swampert and Nidoqueen, and Hidden Power: Electric for Gyarados. Roar is to cause disruption in the matchups.
HydroGhost's Threats: Celebi, Magnezone, Vaporeon.

--------------------
honchkrow.png

Pokemon #3: Honchkrow, the Big Boss Pokemon.
Gender: Male
Nickname: John Wayne, a.k.a., Hondo.
Held Item: Focus Sash. / Life Orb.
Trait: Insomnia. / Nature: Adamant. (+Atk, -SpAtk.)
EVs: 252Atk, 252Spd, 6HP.
-Taunt.
-Sucker Punch.
-Pursuit.
-Thunder Wave.
Why I chose Hondo? Because he will be my supporter. Taunting SRockers and Healers like Bronzong, Gliscor, Celebi, and, Gengar with Insomnia and Focus Sash for protection against Hypnosis, I'll get the advantage. Either Taunt, or Thunder Wave can slow down the game, except for NCure and Sand Stream. Pursuit will hit Ghost-and Psychics like Azelf, and Mesprit hard before they switched out, and Sucker Punch, which is another STAB move for the finish.
Hondo's Threats: Bronzong, Jolteon, Tyranitar.

---------------------
donphan-m.png

Pokemon #4: Donphan, the Armor Pokemon.
Gender: Male.
Nickname: NeoCon.
Held Item: Leftovers.
Trait: Sturdy. / Nature: Impish. (+Def, -SpAtk.)
EVs: 252HP, 252Def, 6Atk.
-Stealth Rock.
-Earthquake.
-Ice Shard.
-Rapid Spin.
Why I chose NeoCon? Because he may be the best StealthSpinner, perhaps better than Claydol. Stealth Rock for the set up, and Rapid Spin to clear off TSpikes, Spikes, and SRock. As for the attacks, Earthquake for STAB against Heatran unless it has HP:Ice, which will change everything, and Ice Shard against Dragon-types.
NeoCon's Threats: Starmie, MixApe, YacheDragonite.

----------------------------
infernape.png

Pokemon #5: Infernape, the Flame Pokemon.
Gender: Female.
Nickname: SueSimmons.
Held Item: Choice Scarf.
Trait: Blaze. / Nature: Naive. (+Spd, -SpDef.)
EVs: 252Atk, 232Spd, 26SpAtk.
-Close Combat.
-Stone Edge.
-Fire Blast.
-U-turn.
Why I chose Sue Simmons? Because this late-game physical hitter is a beauty, not just to show it off because also to explain how well it does. U-turn to get Sue out of there if the opponent switches, but when it does hit the field, I can do three things; Close Combat for STAB, Stone Edge for Togekiss and other Flying-types, and Fire Blast for Skarmory and Magnezone.
Sue's Threats: ScarfKiss, ScarfTran, Vaporeon.

----------------------------
deoxys-speed.png

Pokemon #6: Deoxys-S, the DNA Pokemon.
Gender: None.
Nickname: My Dear D.
Held Item: Life Orb.
Trait: Pressure: / Nature: Hasty. (+Spd, -Def.)
EVs: 252SpAtk, 120Atk, 136Spd.
-Shadow Ball.
-Thunderbolt.
-SuperPower.
-Ice Beam.
Why I chose My Dear D? Because D, of course, is my Revenge Killer. Extra Atk EV's for SuperPower to take out Blissey; Plus Shadow Ball, instead of Psychic for Celebi, Uxie, Mesprit, Gengar, and yes, Dusknoir; and BoltBeam which means Thunderbolt+Ice Beam for Zapdos, and Gliscor.
My Dear D's Threats: Dusknoir, Bronzong.

Threat List:
Gengar: ScarfGar will kill most of my team except Deo and Suicune.
SpecsMence: Same except for Suicune which will survive DMeteor, however, I can kill it with Donphan.
ScarfTran: Switch in Suicune.
Gyarados: BulkyDos will not be a problem, but LOGyara is what I have to watch out for. Deo can take it out.
Mamoswine: CBMamo can be taken care of. For example, Donphan get ko'ed, Deo can Revenge Kill it.
Heracross: I fear ScarfHera over CBHera.
Yanmega: SashedYan can be hypnotized unless it uses Protect, but I'll just used Sub first anyway.



More Coming Soon.
 
Hmmm... Apparently, if you get Suicune down, your whole team is screwed, it seems. Maybe you should work on that. Maybe another wall/tank? Bronzong, anyone?

Perhaps I should replace Donphan with that, because I'd love to show it out and see what it can do against the phazers. I'll think it over.
 
T-Spikes are becoming less and less more common, except on the occasional Raikou or Stall on the Suspect Test, but since you are using Deoxys-S this isn't a problem for you, instead you are wasting a perfectly usable spot that can hold something that can kill all those Pokemon you mention, and more. CounterStar (Timid) with Life Orb, 124 HP, 132 SpA, 252 Speed, with a moveset of Recover, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Surf, eliminates all those Pokemon and can actually sweep with BoltBeam plus Surf to an extent. Also, I believe Suicune's Hidden Power should be Electric not Ice.

Those were the basic problems I found since this team has to mostly rely on offense to make it through some tough challenges, such as LODos, and ScarfGar.

You also have some what a problem with Gengar, this can easily be fixed by replacing Gengar for Machamp (Impish), 216 HP, 96 Atk, 188 Def, 8 Speed, with ResTalk, Ice Punch / Stone Edge, and Dynamic Punch. With the abundance of TTar leads, and other leads in general Machamp is a great starter Pokemon. It can also be used at any time of a match, and is a great lead in many of my own teams as well.

I guess that Star is a great option for this team. Thanks!

Umm you know the format doesn't require gender and stuff, right?

Anywho, your threats list basically sums it up. Your entire team will be picked off by scargar, who is faster than deo. I can't wait until tangerine has a good time with this team. BTW, scartran is a very potent threat, I know

Umm, dude, he took my advice so basically only ScarfGar is a problem for him which can be easily taken care of with prediction. If you think he is going to use Hypnosis he will switch to Honchkrow, and Pursuit. Game over for Gengar. If Gengar uses Focus Blast, he switches to Deoxys-S, and game over once again. His is basically meant to destroy Gengar, and can do it very efficiently through the small details and innovative techniques he uses. You don't have to have a solid counter for one Pokemon when with 6 you can counter a Pokemon using every one of them, and still counter 2 dozens worth of Pokemon as well. If you actually played Pokemon for a while, you would've known this already.

Also, you are criticizing his spelling, when he made one mistake, and you post a ton of grammatical errors, and spelling mistakes yourself as well. Hypocrite.

It's all about predicting the opponent's Pokemon.

So I can do three options with my team:
[1] Take out Donphan for Starmie (which I've properly EV trained for WiFi).
[2] Train Machamp with the spread like you've suggested to replace Gengar, which may disable the countering of RSpin, but try it with Donphan on the team for the time being
[3] Experiment. All of the above lol
