...The Funky Stunky? Oh, never heard of me? Good, because you shouldn't have.
This is an OU team I've been using for a long time and has gotten me lots of wins. Normally when I have a succesful team for a long time, I get bored and try to make something else. Unfortunately, I've been in a rather irritating team-building slump. So I just thought I'd pull out this decent team I had in the past, and try to fix it up and improve it. That's where you fine gentlemen/ladies come in.

Heatran is so versatile, it's not even funny. This is meant to be an anti-lead, catching people off guard who think it's the standard Lead set. Berial here OHKO's standard Lead Occa Gross with Earth Power, Swampert with HP Grass, and so on. Overheat practically destroys anything not-named-Blissey that doesn't resist it. Dragon Pulse is mainly filler. This thing has been proved very useful to me in many battles and is probably the most useful anti-lead I've ever used.
Spyro the Salamence
Modest | Intimidate | Choice Specs
252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
-Draco Meteor
-Dragon Pulse
-Flamethrower
-Hydro Pump
Yes, moar specs. It's sad some people forgot about the usefulness of Specsmence. A modest max SpA +1 STAB Draco Meteor will crush & destroy anything that doesn't resist it, except Blissey. But we'll get to that little skank later on. I bring in Salamence when Heatran is in danger of being anally raped by a Super Effective move, then people switch expecting Mix or DD, and I hit them hard with Draco Meteor, or whatever else depending on how much I've seen of the opponent's team. Flamethrower and Hydro Pump is for coverage, and Dragon Pulse is for cleaning up late-game.
MUDKIPZ the Swampert
Relaxed | Torrent | Leftovers
252 HP, 252 Defence, 6 Attack
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam
-Roar
DUZ U LIEK MUDKIPZ NAO? TEW BAD, BECUZ ITZ A SWAMPURT L0L0L. Anyway, this is the standard lead mixpert, only it's not my lead. I have a lot of choice users in this team, which means I'm going to be wanting to force switches, which is what this team has done in the past. Stealth Rock is for obvious reasons, Earthquake's there for STAB and some fire power and Ice Beam is mainly for Mence. Roar makes Swampy a useful phazer, since a lot of things will like to set up on me after my choice users make an attack. Swampy deals with SD Scizor and Cario, and Roars and Earthquakes them, respectively. Swampy also isn't KO'd by standard mix mence's D meteor if I recall correctly, and OHKO's back with Ice Beam.
Crimson the Scizor
Adamant | Technician | Choice Band
252 Attack, 248 HP, 10 HP
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower
-Pursuit
-U Turn
Standard CB Scizor. Nothing much to say, really. Crimson is my answer to the infamous skank, Blissey, and gives my team a sexy priority move. Scarf Latias loves revenge killing my team, so I bring Crimson here in to pimp slap that bitch into oblivion with Pursuit. U-Turn is for scouting.
Giganto the Slaking
Adamant | Traunt | Choice Scarf
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Defence
-Return / Shadow Claw
-Earthquake
-Thunder Punch
-Ice Punch
Yes, Traunt sucks. But before you start dissin' mah dawg Giganto, ever take a look at his base stats? They're f#%!ing sexy. And since most Choice Scarf users are forced to switch after one move anyway, Slaking makes a great candidate for one. That monsterous base 160 Attack backs up his amazing type coverage and can screw a lot of teams up if they're not prepared. I'm still wondering about the first slot, though. Return gives me an insanely powerful move backed up by STAB, though Shadow Claw allows me to kill non-scarf Gengar and Scarf Rotom Appliances. This team is mainly for WiFi, so the Rotom Appliances won't be a problem. But LO Gengar can have fun with this team when you think about it, so I really don't know which one to pick. Also, he shuts up the "OMG OU SPAM NEWB" assholes who never cease to annoy me after I 6-0/5-0 them.
Hydra the Gyarados
Adamant | Intimidate | Leftovers
156 HP, 108 Attack, 100 Defence, 146 Speed
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Taunt/Thunderwave
Ye olde Bulky Gyara. I haven't tried the new one, but if you think it's better for the team, please say so. I find Bulky DD to be better than Offensive DD because a lot of my Choicers have problems with things that Gyara resists, so Bulky allows me to take those hits better and set up. Taunt may seem superior to Thunder Wave, but I've used it in place of Taunt and it took a lot of people by suprise, which in some cases turned the tide of the battle. Taunt does allow me to stop things like Cune and Skarm from phazing me, but my other party members tend to have them gone before I bring Hydra out.
So yeah, this is my team. Rate away.
