Please note that this was made by looking at obi's Mewtwo/Smeargle/Jynx strategy at the JAA. I just made it un-uber and calculated in D/P/Pt.
Also note the following:
-The rules I'm using are for the pokemon VGC. The rules are at pokemonvgc.com
-There is an item clause, and a species clause.
-I'm gonna use it unless it's proven obsolete.Coughlikethatllhappencough

Anyhow, on to the team

Gengar@Life Orb
Hasty
252 Sp. Attack/252 Speed/ 6 HP
-Explosion
-Shadow Ball
-Energy Ball
-Protect

Okay, this guy is an obvious suicide bomber for after Azelf suicide bombs. Anyone whos not prepared with atleast 1 protect will actually of lost the tourney(hooray!). I put in some moves to get rid of those pesky ghosts.

Azelf@Focus Sash
Hasty
252 Sp. Attack/ 252 Speed/ 6 HP
-Flamethrower
-Shadow Ball
-Protect
-Explosion

This guy will explode before Gengar so that Gengar gets a free turn to A)take down watever pokemon he wishes B)IDK. If two ghosts get sent out then gengar and Azelf can certainly handle the problem,

Smeargle@Salac Berry
Jolly
252 Speed/252 Attack/ 6 HP
-Spore
-Endure
-Sucker Punch
-Endeavor

The point of this smeargle is to (besides hoping to god a pokemon with sand stream or snow warning was not sent out) is to endure the explosion(from Gengar), bringing him down to 1 HP. From there, Kangaskhan(who you'll see next) will fake out one pokemon whilst smeargle spores the other. After this,Smeargle endeavors the awake pokemon, followed up by Kangaskhan using Watever. This strategy is epic and can sweep pretty hard.

Kangaskhan@Shell Bell
Adamant
252 HP/124 Attack/131 Speed
-Fake Out
-Sucker Punch(you little ghost suckers)
-Return
-Brick Break

This guy is the perfect companion for Smeargle after mrs. Azelf has commited(very usefully) suicide. I put in sucker punch for all the ghosts that basically counter this entire idea.


I really hate the fact that I'm doing this, but spamming explosion seems generally like a good idea, and I've completely revamped the team so that I can get a little extra damage in before I go super saiyan OBI MODE (Srry I watched dragon ball z when I was younger, I sorta stopped once they beat buu, although I did see the episode where Goku went super saiyan 4.

This team is pretty unique strategy(Thanks to Obi). And I think with a little critiqueing, I can win the regional championships.
 
Does your strategy with Azelf involve changing the EVs to better suit the fact that all of those are not physical moves?
As for Ambipom, I figured this as such, and I'm grateful you let me know wat fling with a razor claw does because thats useful
 
Run Kangashkan over Ambipom, it will help you deal with ghosts. Though your probably going to have trouble with them anyways.

Don't run Blissey in Doubles... your going to have a hard enough time with physical attackers as is... if you want to, run Snorlax over it.

You need to watch out for other fake out users, who screw your team over badly. A fake out can prevent the much needed explosion or spore, and allow them to hit that pokemon a second time. Azelf in particular has to watch out, because she won't be survivng 2 successive moves. I don't really know what you would run instead though...

Actually, looking down, some people have already covered that :/

I think the most threatening ghost to your team may be Gengar, particularly because of Focus Blast. Run a ghost with Shadow Sneak maybe? Dusknoir may be of some use, though he won't wall special attacks as well as Snorlax. Then again, Snorlax has crunch...
 
I'm switching in Dusknoir for better Def and type resistance.

Plus, can someone please please please tell me that this is the Idea for Azelf:
Give Him all special attacking moves with life orb, and then Explode after I've taken out other resisters.
 
I've seen so many exploders and opions for explosion, and for like the third time i will have to give my Gengar.

Gengar@Choice Scarf
Mild/Lonely 252 Atk, the rest in Sp Atk and Speed
-Trick
-Explosion
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt

Gengar is a ghost type, which means it avoids Fake Out. Choice Scarf is to outrun almost everything, and it can be Tricked in case you aren't using Obi-Mode for a certain round. Explosion is obvious. Shadow gives you a really good STAB, while Thunderbolt hits water types and is for coverage.
 
thank you for the gengar it's much easier to obtain/train/use. however, I think I'll use life orb so that I can take other ghosts
 
I have completely revamped the team.
The new strategy is:
-Send out Azelf and Gengar
A) If No ghost types, Explode Azelfs booty.
B)If All Ghost types, rape them with shadow balls(Sounds a little wrong)
C)If One Ghost type, Use Explosion with Azelf and Shadow ball the Ghost.
-Send out Smeargle
A)If No ghosts, Gengar Explodes whilst Smeargle endures.
B)If 1-2 ghosts out, Smeargle Spores whilst Gengar Shadow Balls the other.
-Send out Kangaskhan
A)Fakes out 1 pokemon while smeargle(with his salac berry activated, giving him speed) Spores the other. From there, Smeargle endeavors the awake pokemon, followed up by kangaskhan finishing the job. Then we gang up and beat the **** out of the last pokemon.

The only problem with this is the fact that by the time I get to smeargle I would have won. This is because I leave room for error, because I assume that my opponent has a good strategy worked out to take me down.

You need to watch out for Lead Scizor, they will be a pain for both your Gengar and Azelf. They also resist both Explosion and Shadow Ball and may carry Roost. To solve part of this, get rid of Shell Bell on Azelf and use Focus Sash instead. People may try to Fake Out you, but that's the breaks.
 
ahh i see(although i havent seen an RMT with a scizor lead yet, but it'll probly happpen so thanks for the heads up), I probably should put a side note when I just put in filler items. i'll switch in focus sash and how much damage would explosion actually do if it hit lead scizor?

As of the results of my poll, and the fact that I was playing pokemon battle revolution double battles online at night(Which means I get to face japs with their actualy good teams), I added in protect. The basic Idea is that I protect on the first turn, unless I foresee a set up that'll happen instead of fake outing me, and then proceed with the strategy I have in one of the posts which is listed above.
