Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

I feel that...
I like the ideas of Stone Edge and Fire Blast, but I disagree with Focus Sash. Through testig, almost nothing OHKOs Deoxys-S, so Sash is redundant while Leftovers let's him live longer.
And I really like that Blaziken idea.
Updated again.
I feel as if version is much more consistent or more covered defensively.
But if I'm not mistaken, it no longer fits under the Dream World category, since I have no Dream World exclusive abilities now (removed Jalorda).
I'll try Ninetales without Drought and see what happens.
I'd rather not use Breloom though, because then I'd have three Fire weaknesses (Breloom, Jalorda, Scizor).
I updated the team.
I took Starmie out anyway. Wasn't liking it and it didn't fit in my newer revision (which I haven't posted yet).
I've fixed a lot of those problems, just haven't updated.
And the Deoxys thing is a mistake. The Speed EVs should be 252.
Thank you for the suggestions. I realized my team needed retooling after trying against a stronger opponent and being totally throttled. Your suggestions helped.
I'd still like to keep Ninetales, not as a weather counter, but as a Special Sweeper. Am I able to pull that off?
And would I need...
So far every TTar I've run into was Scarf then. :/
EDIT: Removed Doryuuzu from the Threat List. I realized that the only time I ever fought one, I didn't know it was Steel type, so was unprepared. :/
