You can't get rid of them. There however is always an alternate path if it's to an item or something.
An offensive Suicune is definitely usable. There happens to be a set in the Suicune analysis titled "Offensive Suicune."
Countering Blaziken and Magmortar is tricky, and you will usually need to know what set they are running(much like Salamence).
The mixed Blaziken set(the UU standard) is best countered by Moltres if it does not carry HP Electric, and Altaria is the best counter for that set. Bulky waters make a good switch in ONCE, but then are beaten by Superpower and HP Grass.
All special sets can be countered by Chansey.
Magmortar lures in bulky waters but can eliminate them with Thunderbolt. Again, special sets are walled by Chansey, but to this end, Magmortar comes equipped with Focus Punch. A specially defensive Spiritomb might work, as will specially defensive Altaria.
A Flash Fire pokemon works to absorb their STAB attacks, but Arcanine won't like Superpowers from Blaziken.
As you might have noticed, they have VERY similar counters. Be sure to provide paralysis support, and you have a scary offensive duo.
EDIT: This was for use in UU, not OU, right?

Blaziken is countered by Suicune or Hippowdon, and Magmortar by Cresselia and Blissey, according to the analysis. I imagine Swampert counters them both provided neither has HP grass, too. So not that similar according to the analysis, anyway. I've never used either competitively or seen many so yeah.
How do you get Snorlax to learn selfdestruct?

The left hand side spread is better. Its not great to have very few evs in either attack or Special attack even for a wall. Both are excellent catches though but the left just clinches it. Speed is not really that neccessary as well on a wall but attack is definitely more. IVs dont make that much difference but generally you want good HP, DEF, Sp.Def Atk/sp.atk. Speed is irrelavant.
I agree with this.
Hope this helped
I really need to know what this is being used for, what EVs you're using, what your nature is, and so on but assuming you're using LO Cune I'd use Ice Beam over Blizzard and Hidden Power Electric in the empty spot.
Stage?
Sorry if i'm askin basic questions but what do ppl mean by stage 1, 2, and 3 in tier voting?

Seriously why isn't there a NU Ladder in Shoddy? I think if you can make strategies for OU and UU, you should be able to make strategies for NU and have a Ladder yknow.
From here:
Stage 1: Analysis of a single Suspect in a suspect-free standard metagame
Stage 2: Our assessment of Uber or OU for any Suspect's impact on a suspect-free metagame, following the respective Suspect's completion of Stage 1.
Stage 3: Analysis of all the Suspects in the standard metagame with the knowledge of which are considered Uber and OU in a Suspect-free metagame.
For a Battle Frontier team:
Alakazam(Specs)
Salamence(DD)
Scizor/Magnezone?
I'm trying to build a team that doesn't require any difficult to find Pokemon or tricky breeding, so that's why I'm using Zam over, say, Latios, before anyone says something.

I'd say Scizor, I'm using a trick-specs Latios paired with SD Scizor, and it works perfectly in the battle tower because Scizor can easly set up on dark\ghost moves directed at Latios (Alakazam should be fine as well, although it's a lot more frail).
