You need to change your team a bit. Gravity is only worth the pain of setting it up if you're going to use it completely. You need Starmie, I cannot stress this enough. Under Gravity, Starmie chews up and spits out entire teams. HP Fire can solve your Scizor problem. I'd replace Gengar...

I want to keep Cresselia. I know that Cresselia has excellent tanking abilities, but that's why she can set up so well. I really need her to get Dual Screen up, and give some life back to a sweeper. In my last slot, I should really have a sweeper that eliminates my team's weaknesses, that...

There are a few things I can pick at. I used to run Light Screen on my Bulky DD Dragonite. It's inefficient. It's so sad for your Outrage sweep to be stopped by a Steel-type. And yes, you have Magnezone, but it's a massive bummer to lose your DD's. Light Screen isn't going to save you from...

Damn...that ScarfPalkia would rampage under Rain... Decent looking team here. I'd suggest replacing Wobbuffet with Magnezone, for a simple reason: Wobbuffet's only purpose seems to be stopping Steels that threaten Rayquaza's sweep. Magnezone does this perfectly and gives you another attacker...

There's only one thing stopping me from replacing Cresselia with Bronzong - Lunar Dance. Lunar Dance makes such a massive difference. Gyarados in Stealth Rock KO range and paralysed/burnt/sleeping/poisoned etc? Bam, good as new again. Just been playing with Uxie, and the plan either goes off...

Memento, while debatable in its usefulness, does wonders for this team as it allows for a free DD which can make a massive difference. Not a whole lot stops the rampage of Gyarados or Tyranitar. Zapdos seems to be working better than Rotom. I really needed that Special sponge, and Roost is...

Hey Toby jezard! That was my RMT you recommended that Uxie for. I like the idea of SD Empoleon, I've used it before. It's the same concept as Normal-typed Arceus, except obviously a lot more crap. I'd say keep Aqua Jet, even though it has trouble killing things when you're +6 :-) Avalanche >...

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50298 Please read this, and adjust your team accordingly. If you want your team rated, you really need to add more detail. Still, there's a few things I can pick at, no problems :-) Bulky DD Dragonite > Bulky DD Salamence. Every day of the week...

Rotom-H on a Hail team. No. Change to a Rotom-F, and run a pseudo-BoltBeam with Thunderbolt and Blizzard. 100 accuracy Blizzard coming off a nice SpA stat is going to hurt a lot of things.

Sceats is right. Grass Knot > HP Grass. 1. Presentation 2. Spelling and Grammar 3. Sprites (silly I know, but it makes everything look much better) These are 3 things you need to work on. "Crunch is there for Froslass" I've played hundreds and hundreds of matches and I barely ever see...

Hmm, a Latias lead seems like a good idea. So, Latias doesn't get Taunted, and sets everything up. I switch in either T-Tar or Gyara, and DD as they switch. I then have 4 turns of Light Screen, 5 turns of Reflect, and 3 turns of Safeguard. That's enough to wreck havoc. I'm changing items on...

I do think the Uxie idea is decent, as defenses > speed is logical when it comes to a dual screen lead. However, there is no doubt in my mind when it comes to Explosion vs Memento. Weakening a threat vs blowing it to smithereens? No contest. I like having Stealth Rock on the lead, it makes...

The Gyarados / T-Tar combination is working well. Overall, the team is decently awesome. I'm trying a defensive Zapdos over Rotom-H, and a Bronzong over Cresselia. Any other improvements?

Just a small idea, have the +(**)- thing (can't think of words here, the thing where you vote up and down the thing) at the bottom of a quote. Extremely minor, it's just a pain in the butt to scroll all the way back up after a massive log. Maybe one on top one on bottom?

Took your advice Twist of Fate. There's only one real problem I see... Gyarados isn't going to be around long while he's taking Life Orb damage and Sandstorm. Maybe replace Rotom for a Wish passer to provide effective recovery when Lunar Dance isn't effective? If I had a Wish passer, I'd be...
