Bronzong is epic taunt bait. Its only real offensive option is explosion and a stalling set wouldn't be useful on it as it would easily get set up on. Plus, if you want an indestructible special wall, use Blissey; if you want a really good physical wall, use skarmory. If you want something which cannot do much other than set up SR, Rain Dance, and Trick room (unlikely as many leads will taunt you) and explode, choose bronzong.

Just a nitpick but Bronzong can use Toxic. But Bronzong is indeed Taunt Bait. Gyro ball, EQ and Explosion are the most common seen moves on Zong and they are very predictable. But like mentioned before you don't want to use Bronzong offensively. It can make a decent Rain Dancer in OU (great pair up with Kingdra btw, just SR, RD and Boom!). Otherwise it just isn't that great and overshadowed by many others (Skarmory has been mentioned).
Can anyone point me to some good examples of Trick Room and Sandstorm teams in the UU and Ou teirs?
I haven't tested any of these so I don't know if they are any good, but they are well constructed and the comments make sense:
OU trick Room team
OU Trick Room
UU sandstorm
Gravity teams are not that easy to make, and I'm no expert there. All I could do is offer you this as it might help you, good luck!
I can't get the Beyond the Sea route in my Pokéwalker, and I noticed some other people having the same problem. My game is American and I have it registered in the USA and I've both traded for and received both Japanese and German Pokémon, and put all of them on my Pokéwalker, and no route.
Alrite so I have been having trouble with some stuff in HG. Mainly Trainer rematches. I call them at the time on the serebii website but they dont wanna battle. how does the pokegear work
Although I am unable to offer any help, I can attest that I have received the route. I traded for a German Pokemon and the route just showed up in the list of routes to select after you choose the Pokemon to go walking with.
Besides the obvious "make sure you're calling the right name," I can say that sometimes it doesn't work for me. I'm guessing there are some errors on Serebii's page, but I have been able to call a lot and consistently get rematches. I remember a specific incidence; Picnicker Erin's time isn't right. I've tried twice and no rematch.
Is Milotic better at sleep-inducing in OU or Rest-Talking?
Are you sure the games the Pokemon are from were Japanese and German? You might have gotten them from an Engish game that originally got them from those places.
How do the moves Copycat and Mirror Move work in Doubles matches? Let's say my Aerodactyl Rock Slides whilst Pidgeot Mirror Moves it; the Mirror Moved Rock Slide will hit the enemy, right? What if Aerodactyl Stone Edges? Will Pidgeot's Mirror Moved Stone Edge hit Aerodactyl?
Does anyone know this?

For the Marriland Team Builder, does anyone know how to copy/paste the weakness/resistance chart into a post? I've seen it done plenty of times, and I was wondering how it is accomplished.
Showsni - I think when you target a move with Mirror Move, it has the same chance of hitting as any other Rock Slide or Stone Edge, not sure about much else regarding Mirror Move.
Rocket^2 - I'm pretty sure you can't get a shiny starter Pokémon at the beginning of the game if that's what you're asking

Actually I'm pretty sure you can; people have mentioned resetting for them before. I can't tell you whether or not their sprite when you select the Pokeball will tell you its coloration though.
Question: is the 15 base power difference really worth it? Trying to decide which move (Discharge 80 BP or Thunderbolt 95 BP) to put on my Defensive Zapdos... the thing is, I'm already running Toxic. So I'm not really trying for Paralysis...
Any help?
Any help?
If the opponent is already under the effect of a status condition, then Discharge automatically becomes inferior. The only reason you would want to run it is for the 30% chance to paralyze. Either way, I would run Thunderbolt over Discharge, as the 15 extra BP is better than more of paralysis chance. It's worth it.
Yes this is how I got my shiny starter in HG...I SR over 1500 times
Enter your team into the Team Builder, hit the 'Prnt Scrn' button on your keyboard (assuming you're not on a Mac), paste the result into Paint or some such program, save it, upload it somewhere and finally put the picture in the post with the 'Insert Image' button (6th from the right in the posting window). Hopefully that all made sense...
