No wonder Aerodactyl is the #5 used lead, it's frikken awesome. The moveset itself needs no explantion as it hasn't changed from the one found in the analysis; however, I will say why Aerodactyl's important to my team. Essentially, it's the ability to get Stealth Rock up while preventing other leads from getting up their Stealth Rock.
Taunt alongside Stealth Rock was the first reason why I chose Aerodactyl seeing as how Aerodactyl itself can prevent the annoying-as-fuck Dual Screens from being set up as well as Stealth Rock from slower leads (excluding Metagross whom I will get to later). Taunt also helps keep Baton Pass chains from starting while keeping status users from really screwing Aerodactyl (and the rest of my team) up which is much more useful in the end. Stealth Rock goes down fast and quick which is really what Aerodactyl is here for.
The first move always depends on the lead that Aerodactyl is facing. If Aerodactyl can get at least two turns free before it can faint and if the opposing lead can get Stealth Rock up, Taunt goes up first. If Aerodactyl can't do much to the opposing lead or if the opposing lead is playing a really fucked around mindgame (i.e Metagross, Roserade, Honchkrow) Stealth Rock is first priority. If the opposing lead can be taken down in a few hits and Aerodactyl can live set up Stealth Rock, I'll just choose the appropriate attack to fit the situation.
Now, before I even placed Aerodactyl as my lead, I had to consider every single common lead and figure out how to take the right action so that Aerodactyl has a very large chance of coming out on top:
Code:
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani373.gif[/IMG]
15. Salamence: Does it need an explanation? Salamence leads are uncommon if not ever used at all. Stone Edge would be first priority here since a 2HKO on a threat to my team early in the game is more important than setting up Stealth Rock. In the case of the rarer Choice Scarf variants, a switch is pretty much triggered right after the Focus Sash is broken.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani235.gif[/IMG]
15. Smeargle: Disregarding what March statistics say, I see Smeargle much more than I see a blue dragon at the start of every battle which made me really consider it when I choose my lead. Smeargle's whole set can be beaten after the first move, always, with Taunt. If Smeargle is slower, it's going to be Taunted, if it's faster, then I'll most likely have a Sleeping Dino (hehe, a RMT reference) on my team. How is it beaten you ask? If Smeargle is Taunted, it can't set up anything forcing it to switch out while Aerodactyl sets up its own Stealth Rock. If Smeargle has a Choice Scarf, then it can't put anything else to sleep (tbh, I'd rather have another Pokemon asleep, but, I don't want to risk Smeargle being able to setup), easing the prediction on my part. If Smeargle has Trick, then Starmie can just come in and rape the hell out of Smeargle.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani480.gif[/IMG]
15. Uxie: Yeah, without April statistics, I'm pretty much going on what I always see. Taunt will completely rape Uxie unless it's running a Choice Scarf, stopping Stealth Rock and both Screens from going up, ruining any plan my opponent has set in place.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani130.gif[/IMG]
14. Gyarados: Stone Edge is always first due to offensive variants being 2HKO'd off the bat. If Gyarados turns out to be bulky and Stone Edge doesn't 2HKO after the first hit, Stealth Rock goes down or in cases where Gyarados decides to setup, Taunt is top priority.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani460.gif[/IMG]
13. Abomasnow: Stone Edge, Stone Edge, Stone Edge. Need I say more? An OHKO over 50% of the time on max HP/0 Def, nuetral Defense variants of Abomasnow is something I really place first as Abomasnow will play a sick mindgame with SubSeed and Choice Scarf available.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani094.gif[/IMG]
12. Gengar: A lead that never gets old or any new. The first turn is always Stealth Rock due to Hypnosis being less of a hazard to worry about. If Gengar is Choice Scarfed, Zapdos can easily switch in or even Gliscor if Gengar decides to go with Shadow Ball.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani485.gif[/IMG]
11. Heatran: Taunt off the bat as Heatran has no chance of beating Aerodactyl with its offensive moves. After that, Stealth Rock and then, Earthquake. Heatran is never hard to handle :(.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani291.gif[/IMG]
10. Ninjask: Fuck Baton Pass leads, Aerodactyl has Taunt :D. Ninjask is rendered useless while Aerodactyl gets the chance to setup Stealth Rock, ripping away 50% of Ninjask's health when it decides to come back in which is just awesome.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani248.gif[/IMG]
9. Tyranitar: Earthquake is normally first since most (if not all) Tyranitar leads are Choice Banded with different EV spreads. Earthquake tests the waters to check if Tyranitar is running max HP or not. If Tyranitar is running max HP, it will do less than 50% or 50% exactly; without many HP EVs, Earthquake will be doing over 50%. Both of these "indicators" for Tyranitar's EV spread will tell what I have to do next. Max HP is Stealth Rock after Earthquake, very little HP EVs (51%+) will just result in another Earthquake KOing Tyranitar at the start of the game.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani437.gif[/IMG]
8. Bronzong: The huge bell turns Aerodactyl into a suicide lead :(. Gyro Ball is breaking the Focus Sash and KOing Aerodactyl the next turn so, it's always Taunt followed up by Stealth Rock then, death. However sad it may be that Aerodactyl is gone so quick without Bronzong losing a hit point, I always make it up with Zapdos who will 3HKO with Heat Wave, which is just about the maxiumum number of turns that Taunt will stay in effect.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani450.gif[/IMG]
7. Hippowdon: This is the first and only, "set up Stealth Rock and get the hell out of there" leads that I'll ever encounter with Aerodactyl leading. Essentially, Taunt will be first to keep Hippowdon from setting up, then Stealth Rock, then switch to something else. Gliscor is always first to switch in on Hippowdon since it needs Choice Specs and Hidden Power Ice with a Modest nature to 2HKO Gliscor; otherwise, Hippowdon will be setup fodder for Gliscor.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani260.gif[/IMG]
6. Swampert: A very simular case to Bronzong since Aerodactyl will most likely only have two turns out and those turns will be Taunt and Stealth Rock. If Aerodactyl can somehow get another free turn, then Earthquake can (hopefully) dent Swampert enough for another Pokemon to deliver the KO.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani142.gif[/IMG]
5. Aerodactyl: This is classified. In the case of ditto leads like this, my strategy is completely unknown.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani392.gif[/IMG]
4. Infernape: Taunt keeps Stealth Rawk from going down while Infernape will fail to beat Aerodactyl unless it's running Vacuum Wave which isn't really common >_>. Earthquake is always the next move, getting rid of Infernape from the start without even letting it get up its rocks. So, generally speaking, Infernape gets RAWKED (I'm sorry, I had to say it).
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani385.gif[/IMG]
3. Jirachi: Choice Scarf leads are annoying but aren't difficult to handle. Stealth Rock is always first priority since Aerodactyl really has nothing else to do. Sure, Earthqauke is going to 2HKO but, Jirachi is going to Iron Head Aerodactyl to death before it gets a chance. Taunt is useless since Aerodactyl's outsped so, my only choice is setting up Stealth Rock and not being screwed over by a flinch. Non-Choice Scarfed variants are much easier as they can't outspeed Aerodactyl and Earthquake is going to dent them.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani482.gif[/IMG]
2. Azelf: I love it when I Taunt Azelf leads trying to setup Reflect and Light Screen. It just fills my heart with glee to watch my opponent fail so hard when they can't even support their team. Um, but anyway, Taunt and Stealth Rock are always first and if Aerodactyl gets another turn out, Stone Edge will hurt Azelf enough for Zapods to revenge kill it. This lead is no problem for Aerodactyl or any of the Pokemon on my team.
[IMG]http://pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpiconani/dpiconani376.gif[/IMG]
1. Metafagross: *sigh* And I get to this lead, I really hate it as it will always get up Stealth Rock since mindgames with this thing are too hard to predict. Stealth Rock could go first or Meteor Mash could go first, both scenerios will result with my opponent getting Stealth Rock up and Aerodactyl dead and the latter could result in no Stealth Rock on my side. Because of this, Stealth Rock always goes down first, no matter what. In all reality, Aerodactyl gets RAWKED (again, I'm sorry for the horrible references to Paper Mario 2) and there's really no way to prevent it from happening.Well, as you can see, I take getting up Stealth Rock for myself while keeping my opponent from setting up Stealth Rock as something that can never be second on my list of leading off a battle.

Sushie (Starmie) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 136 HP / 156 Def / 216 Spe
Nature: Timid
- Reflect
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Recover

A great suggestion by Katherine over the previous Choice Scarf set. This Starmie in fact, helps great with both my Mamoswine and Heatran weaknesses while still boasting the ability to get rid of Gyarados and Gliscor just as the last set did just, you know, without having a Pursuit user free to switch in or having a Pokemon set up because Starmie had to switch out.
Fortunately, the Pursuit weakness doesn't really mess with Starmie much with Reflect down as even Choice Band Tyranitar's Pursuit is a 2HKO if Starmie has to switch. Just as a note, if Starmie does stay in as Tyranitar switches in, on average, Surf will do 37% to an Adamant, max HP/0 SDef Tyranitar while Tyranitar's Pursuit does 37% to Starmie with Reflect down. What does this mean? Well, it means that Starmie can beat Tyranitar with a Reflect up most of the time.
Reflect may not seem like much to such a team; however, it allows all of my Pokemon to set up much easier. Mismagius's paltry base 65 Defense won't suffer much with Reflect down, Breloom can make a much more effective switch in to Tyranitar and can set up in its face, Zapdos will now be able to sponge Physical hits better and finally, Suicune won't have to die away in her sleep.

Ability: Pressure

Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Heat Wave
- Roost
- Substitute

When movepools were expanded in Platinum, the metagame changed. Suddenly, every Zapdos began to become Physically Defensive to counter Scizor (that, Life Orb or Baton Pass) and because of this, Zapdos's Special Defense stat has remained... well, unchecked. Turning Zapdos into a sponge for Special attacks helps my team so much with my BoltBeam problem (SpecsJolteon and Choice Scarf Heatran come into mind) and with Pressure draining their PP away, Zapdos can win quite a few match ups against the likes of Porygon2, Life Orb Gengar, Flamethrower-Toxic Blissey and even other Zapdos (which is kind of ironic...). In the last slot, I decided to just go with Substitute to avoid status and Explosions from Foretress, Metagross and all of the other Steel typed bastards who love to blow up when they're losing >:(.

Flurrie (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind
- Rest
---
Suicune is a monsterous powerhouse, all of the time. Seriously, it's either sacrifice Suicune or sweep with it. I decided to bring back the non-Sleep Talk Calm Mind Suicune from my previous team for the main reason what both Latias and Salamence use Suicune as mere setup fodder. With Suicune's excellent defenses, taking two turns to heal up lost HP isn't really that bad. I would go into further explanation of Suicune, but, clicking that link and scrolling down to Suicune is much easier for me.

Toadette (Breloom) (F) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP/248 Atk/8 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Mach Punch
- Stone Edge
- Spore
---
Breloom, that shroom has been OU since the introduction of D/P and works excellently on a team such as mine. The resistance to Dark type moves such as Crunch, Night Slash and (gay) Pursuit has really helped both Mismagius and Starmie do their respective jobs with assurance that almost nothing will end their sweep.
I suppose some of you would like to know why Bulk Up is here as opposed to Substitute or Swords Dance. Well, as I was searching for a Dark type resist, I needed three things for that Pokemon to have as well: A reliable method of recovery, overall great durability and a way to decimate Blissey, Tyranitar and Lucario. At a time, however I did try Swords Dance but found Breloom dying too quick before I knew that any use of Pursuit, Crunch, etc. was absent from the other team. Bulk Up raised Breloom's durability to very noticable heights and, well, I kept using it with more and more success.
The moveset is very simple, Mach Punch is for the obvious priority and Stone Edge hits both Gyarados and Salamence, who will both fail to OHKO Breloom after a Bulk Up without a critical hit or a Choice Band. Finally, Spore, one of the best moves in the game, buys much needed time for Breloom and the rest of my team to set up which of course, pays off in the end.

Vivian (Mismagius) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 28 HP/228 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fire]
---
This is the reason why I even thought about this team. The star attraction, Mismagius has made a surprise appearance in OU with one objective: use its immunites, resistances and very nice defensive capabilities to demolish the opposing team.
Once the gist of my opponent's team is revealed to me, it becomes pretty easy for Mismagius to sweep whole teams. Hidden Power Fire was used over Hidden Power Fighting for a few reasons: Tyranitar doesn't mind losing 60% of its HP to KO Mismagius, Scizor, Jirachi, Bronzong, Metagross and Foretress seem to weasel into Mismaguis' way, preventing a sweep and Heatran would just rape with Fire Blast anyway >_>.
Sure, Mismagius' poor HP and Defense stats may seem like a total letdown, but its other characteristics make it a very nice sweeper:
- A great Special Defense to help buffer out Special hits before and after Calm Minds are thrown up.
- An awesome Speed to help Mismagius outspeed many of its threats, keeping it alive in the end.
- Ghost type mixed in with Levitate make switching in much easier for Mismagius.
- When a person sweeps in OU with a UU Pokemon, it's not as cool as they make it seem; however, it's pretty heartwarming to watch my opponent quit when Mismagius is too much of a threat to them.
Does she NOT look badass?! Imagine that using Calm Mind :).
Code:
Weeee, more damage calculations!
+0 Calm Mind
Shadow Ball vs 4 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Salamence: 40%-48% (2HKOs after Stealth Rock)
Shadow Ball vs 4 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Gyarados: 33%-40% (3HKOs with or without Stealth Rock; however, Gyarados will be landing only one hit, anyway)
Shadow Ball vs 252 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Celebi: 55%-65%
Okay, Hidden Power Fire's calculations aren't really surprising as some 2HKOs and OHKOs are expected soooo, we'll just move on >.>.
+1 Calm Mind
Shadow Ball vs 4 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Gyarados: 53%-62%
Shadow Ball vs 152 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Gyarados: 47%-56%

Shadow Ball vs 252 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Machamp: 50%-59%

Hidden Power Fire vs 252 HP/92 SDef positive nature Bronzong: 42%-50% (um... about that Gyro Ball...)
Hidden Power Fire vs 4 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Magnezone: 79%-90%
Hidden Power Fire vs 252 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Skarmory: 79%-93%
Hidden Power Fire vs 4 HP/0 SDef neutral nature Lucario: 93%-110%Those damage calculations pretty much sum up how powerful Mismagius can be after two Calm Minds are up (which isn't really hard to do >_>).
What's hurting my team... well, badly? (Unfinished list...)
- Gyarados after a Dragon Dance is one of the toughest threats to kill if Starmie is down.
- If Dual Screens go down, my team is fucked... though, that's a problem that almost every other team faces.
- Life Orb Starmie will rape this team hard with Stealth Rock down if Zapdos falls too early. If Starmie runs Surf over Hydro Pump, Mismagius can take it out.
- Kindgra pretty much runs over my team after a Dragon Dance since nothing can really touch it besides a timely Trick from Starmie. Oh and maybe Suicune and its Ice Beam can help... right?
- The (rare) Substitute Calm Mind Raikou seems to rape my team pretty well :/.
- Blissey can cause some problems with either Ice Beam or Seismic Toss.
- Sandstorm sadly cripples with Mismagius (limiting the amount of Substitutes she can make, can't outstall much anymore, etc.).
- Latias getting more than one Calm Mind or getting a critical hit on Suicune before Suicune can get a critcal hit on her.
- Hax. There's a line between "okay, I'll get over that" and complete bullshit. I have crossed that line more than once, sadly.
- Not many large weaknesses can be exploited easily such as Dragon Dance Salamence and Baton Pass Gliscor.
- Toxic Spikes doesn't affect my team much; Stamie has Natural Cure and Suicune has Rest.
- Only one x2 Stealth Rock weakness and that Pokemon can easily recover off any damage it takes from Stealth Rock.
- Usually, a type weakness is handled by another Pokemon on my team. What I mean by this is that one Pokemon can take down a common user of a certain move (i.e Zapdos and Gliscor handling Scizor's Pursuit, Suicune using Tyranitar's Pursuit as setup bait, Zapdos and Glsicor sponging Electric moves for Starmie and Suicune).
- The Paper Mario references were completely random. I didn't even know that I could make a team from this >_>.
If all fails, use some intense Pressure!
- After some more battles using this team, I've found myself using Zapdos and Suicune more when I'm backed into a corner for the main reason that Pressure forces my opponent into a corner. A nice example of this would be in this log:

ossmaster has left the room.The best defense is a good offense... and defense
- Will DEFINATELY redo this one when or if I swap Suicune for the Pokemon below.
Mamoswine (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 64 HP/252 Atk/192 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge
- Superpower
---
A replacement over Suicune as suggested by Katherine. From my previous experiences with Mamoswine, I know how much of a monster this thing can be with a Choice Band attached. Earthquake scores its share of 2HKOs and OHKOs Stone Edge picks up what Earthquake can't hit. Ice Shard makes Mamoswine a decent revenge killer for fragile sweepers who don't resist it and Dragon types. Superpower gains its place for scoring a full OHKO on Blissey and takes a decent chuck out of Bronzong. Like Breloom, I'll get into more detail on Mamoswine if I decide to use it.

Sushie (Swampert) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/100 Def/156 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Avalanche
- Rest
---
For those wondering, no, it's not taking Starmie's place. This is, in fact, may second choice over Suicune. This particular Swampert works in the same way Suicune would, just with a much better chance of beating Blissey. I'll go into explanation later >.>.
