Umm, Jumpluff is still allowed to be played in OU. Way to not notice wobbuffet on his list of annoying pokemon.

Hmm, may I suggest replacing charizard with gyarados, and moving him out of the lead slot which'll be taken by aero? Charizard really makes your team get hurt by rocks, and that's unacceptable in the current meta. Considering how many teams have made it to a high rank with choice items, why not...

Lol, xtrashine, rotom sez hi. Anyway, I've found that Sitrus Berry is a very effective item to run on most leads. Basically, the idea is that you can tweak your defenses to maximize your survivability, however just try a dry run and us the current spread with it. I predict it'll actually work...

OMG, the badly-capitalized-sentence-posters R INVADING! RUUUUUN! No seriously, it's getting on my nerves... Ok, now about the theme of your team. I personally find shuckle to be a little outclassed by pokemon like Regirock and Probopass, but that's just me. Although I have a hard time...

Lol, do you know how stat ups work? Belly drum maxes out after a single use. Surviving long enough to get all those stat ups is nearly impossible. 3 Stockpile + Belly Drum is 4 turns already. Add 3 more every time you rest. Make sure to factor in that it only takes 1 turn for the opponent to see...

Although you've already got ampharos, if you do wind up replacing him/her/it I would suggest either offensive Raikou//Specs Jolteon in the place of Latias. I would second the previously suggested removal of ampharos because Blissey runs away from kingdra crying. However, if you decide against...

Hmm, I'd have to disagree with you Ice-eyes. Swampert has a decent chance of getting rocks up, along with Forretress and Bronzong. Anyways, I feel like making a prediction of my own. Kingdra will rise in usage. He'll do this as soon as the chesto rest set truly catches on.

Are you remembering lefties? Because that makes the odds of the proposed 2hko very slim. Even not counting leftovers it won't ALWAYS 2hko because as you stated, there's a chance it'll do <50%. Hope that you don't get angry Haunter, because I realize that the last sentence was a bit smart-alec-y. =P

@Ginganinja Oh, ok. Starting with my team goal. I meant for this to be a team that wasn't easily forced to switch. Basically, the main benefit of having pokes with few or no weaknesses whatsoever. On to the threats you've mentioned. DD Dragonite takes 25% damage every time it switches in and...

I'm agreeing with greg3064. Devoting your lucario to be a lure for two pokemon who aren't exactly the most OU in OU just doesn't stack up. @Oxymentus: about that Froslass... Don't you think the Cloyster lead here does it better? http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74647

Things I'm considering trying: T-bolt in the place of Ice-Beam on blissey. (This worked spectacularly! Blissey is much better at killing most anything with the notable exclusion of Zapdos & Dragon-Types) T-spikes Tentacruel/Roserade in the place of Forretress. (Did not work, their typing...

Team Resistant Basically the idea here is to design a team that lets the opponent lose some of the major advantages that they get out of entry hazards. I wanted a team that was centered around having as few weaknesses as possible making it easy to switch in and out when I want to, but hard...

Ok, no love as far as suggestions for the viability of my Spiritomb I see, however I have come bearing a list of most (if not all) of the impressive things it can do to the OU metagame and a small hint for all of you Machamp lead users. For reference, here's the Attack Tier for Spiritomb...

Are there times when a single rapid spin destroys 6 turns of setup? Do you have no answer for machamp vs. blissey? Do you want a way to deny Explosion and Self Destruct? Meet Spiritomb! Spiritomb @ Leftovers EVs: 248 HP/128 Def/132 SAtk (303/ 198/ 311/ 105/ 252/ 251) Bold nature (+Def, -Atk) -...
