It doesn't get Stone Edge. And to the above poster it flinches. This team has issues with Balloon Excadrill/Doryuuzu. Relying on your Exca alone isn't enough and if it gets +2 (you run a Banded Tar with Pursuit and Crunch) you're basically screwed. The addition of some priority in the form of...

Let's go Marrimalgam! I mean Marriland... Anyway, let's do this!

I must have mistyped it into the calculator. thanks for the correction.

This set was made back when 5th gen metagame had just started for the WiFi tier, so a little editting to it will probably be necessary, but here-goes anyway:

Specially Defensive Skarm is listed as Carfeul being the primary nature, although yes the defense stat is wrong. I looked at the "min" and added 31 IVs forgetting about the nature reduction. Regardless taking out that kind of chunk from Skarm with a resisted Physical move is damn impressive...

Am I the only one who thinks comparing him to the other Dragons as opposed to see what he can offer to support the other Dragons is kinda pointless? Double Dragons is a strategy that's been used for..like...ever. Why can't Onono get in on that action? More speed and Attack than DNite or Kingdra...

I hadn't faced a LOTran in my testing, so I hadn't thought about it but that is a very good point. I'm gonna go ahead and change that. The spread actually does better against most common leads than regular Suicude Rose does, and has far more midgame capacity, which is really where I need it --...

Bump. Updates made in the OP; After testing I've made the following changes: Altered Empy's spread 200 Spe on Tran ScarfRotom-A > Gengar Ice Beam > Ice Punch on Pert Still undecided on what to do with Rose, to be frank.

Updated the OP with the potential changes. Bump.

Actually I took the standard site EVs and maxed SpAtk by taking from HP since I knew that it would be largely unneeded, but given the Passho Berry I could probably afford a little bit less HP and/or SpAtk to get the jump on Loom. @Ice-Eyes: ScarfRotom is likely to be replacing Gengar as a...

I love this idea. So much. Planning to test Scarf Rotom-H as well as it really helps with all the major flaws I've noticed with the team. No matter how good Gengar's set is, it doesn't do that sadly enough. As for Empoleon I'm going to test both of the alternate spreads I've been given by...

I would make the change if Gliscor was an issue for me, but seeing as it's actually a beneficial Poke for the opponent to bring out, allowing Gengar to set up and generally speaking Dragonite to get a free attack off, it's not a problem that I'm going to make the change for exclusively. Now if...

Well for one, there's a considered change on Rose. And for two, just because I haven't posted a considered change doesn't mean there isn't one that's viable. It means I haven't found or thought of one. If I could build a team that needed no changes whatsoever...Well in the first place it'd be...

THREAT LIST I'm forgoing minor threats and just listing the big ones here. In order of danger (relative). OUT OF DATE Lucario: If it packs Bullet Punch and Ice Punch it can be a pain. It has little set up room (only if something is slept on Roserade, and even then Leaf Storm does a hefty...

Ciaran with another RMT here. This is actually a re-make of a much older team (pre-HG/SS, kind of early to mid Platinum Meta) that can be viewed here. It was one of my most successful teams of all time, and this remake is arguably my absolute most successful team of all time, only losing once in...
