For those who even care, I just joined smogon. Main reason for joining is Battle Tower Help. Here's the team that I'm using and yes I know the whole choice scarf trick technique is used by others, but this is a rate MY team, not flame me for "copying an idea". So without further ado here is my team:
Metagross@choice scarf
Jolly-Clear Body
252 HP /252 Speed /6 def
Lvl.50 stats-186/147/146/91/106/128
IVs-29/14/22/4/22/21
~Trick
~Flash
~Reflect
~Aerial Ace
128 speed is close enough to 132 and outspeeds mostly everything in the battle tower with choice scarf allowing metagross to get in the first trick. Flash for 3/9 accuracy and reflect is for Suicune support just in case it needs it while it calm minds. Now I know aerial ace seems weird but a sceptile and gallade (the leaf blader variants) have given me trouble in the past when I had light screen instead of aerial ace. It has saved me in the past because without an attack and if battle tower hax cause my other two pokes to be KO'd against, metagross = setup fodder w/light screen instead of AA.
Know as you can see this is metagross (this entire team actually) is almost the exact same concept as Everstone's team. Here's the link:

Anyways metagross' typing bring in two kinds of attacks, mainly ground and fire. Water and Thunder attacks are drawn in as well. Gliscor sets up on ground and electric attacks while suicune can practically take the rest. If, it's a grass type, I'll flash until they can barely hit me, and bring in suicune (the most beautiful and elegant pokemon Ev4R) to calm mind and sweep. I might also let metagross take a few hits until it faints and after using reflect to deplete the opponents PP as well as flash that as well.
Gliscor@Focus Sash
Adamant-Hyper Cutter
252 HP /252 Attack /6def
Lvl.50 stats-178/158/145/57/82/112
IVs-23/25/30/28/4/24
~Agility
~Night Slash
~Earthquake
~Swords Dance
The main idea here is to come in on a ground or electric attack setup and sweep. Earthquake + X-scissor = death from above (flying types) and the elemental fangs just don't provide enough power and cresselia is another reason for me to use nightslash over the elemental fangs. Aerial Ace would've made Bronzong a pain to kill if it wasn't the poke I was setting up on so this hits everything except for Shiftry and Cacturne for neutral (if not, tell me), and they get easily KO'd thanks to their crappy defenses. Speed Ev's weren't necessary at all since I believe 213-214 is max BT pokemon speed and a single agility has me outspeeding everything bar priority moves and quick claw, so i dumped everything in HP to take a hit just in case my focus sash is broken.
Here he is, the star of the team, known by some (or just me) as the great wall of Chi...i mean the great wall, Suicune!
Suicune@Leftovers
Bold-Pressure
252 HP/ 252 Def/ 6 w/e
Lvl.50 stats-207/85/182/110/135/105
IVs-31/30/30/31/31/30 (Hidden Power electric FYI)
~Surf
~Rest
~Ice Beam
~Calm Mind
Comes in on fire attacks or just about anything and sets up it's 6 calm minds, and struggles them to death while it sleeps off the damage and status afflictions if any. No sleep talk you ask, well, if i'm trying to waste THEIR pp and they can't hurt me, well leftovers recovers struggle damage, and water absorbers make the battle EVEN longer than they already take. So ice beam provides all around coverage if not the best coverage.
Now this team is near perfect in my opinion but I am still asking for help only because I'm pissed off at the damn tower. The tower was only, and I STRONGLY mean ONLY able to kill my team through hax.
First time, her Gligar gets tricked into holding choice scarf and gets locked into guillotine(battle 78 beauty jaclyn). I switch in Gliscor cuz Suicune is too crucial to lose because of the towers random haxxing. Gligars guillotine hits...but Gliscor survives via Focus Sash. Guillotine HITS AGAIN. Dead Gliscor. I switch in Metagross and Guillotine hits again......@#@#%$#%$%$ ^ %$%$(#$(#*$). Suicune comes in and I fire off an ice beam right away...IT DOESN'T DIE. It uses guillotine and misses and Suicune's second ice beam faints it. A Sharpedo comes in and w/o calm mind it took a few turns to kill it. I HAD to attack because it was using crunch and lower suicunes defense EVERYTIME. So Sharpedo dies. Marshtomp outspeeds and earthquakes which kills suicune because it was at red health thanks to those other haxing bastards.
Second time, Tangrowth quick claw outspeed metagross and lands a sleep powder then an earthquake. Earthquake, that's Gliscor's que. Bring in gliscor, it uses power whip, gliscor take WAY too much damage. Switch back to metagross, it wakes up and tricks. Power Whip lock...$%$*()&%*(#&$@(#*@&#(@*&#(%*&($*%. I used reflect and aerial ace which didn't kill it but power whip, through the power of random haxxing criticals and takes out both metagross and gliscor. Suicune comes in and I know it's not surviving a power whip or even KO'ing tangrowth w/o a calm mind, but I try an ice beam anyways. Fails to KO and GG. Shit, told you it was haxxed.
THIRD TIME, that's right a THIRD TIME, Suicune comes in on cresselia that's firing off shadow balls thanks to trick (Palmer second time). It criticals 3 times and takes out my entire team ~_~. Gliscor didn't KO it with a night slash T_T.
So know you see why I say this team only losses to hax. Not even stick hold pokemon could break through suicune, and magnet pullers were struggled to death via trick and flash and the following pokes after the magnet pullers were laughed off but suicune. I need help and ratings on my team and what I can do to counter this RANDOMD F#$@ing haxxing of the "can't win against my team w/o cheating" battle tower.
