Explode here,explode there.Exploding everywhere.

As the title says,explosion team.
This team is based on a Double-battle team,against my friend.

Metagross @ Choice Scarf
Adamant Nature
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-Trick
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion
-Meteor Mash

My lead.My friend also uses Metagross with Stealth Rock/Bullet Punch/Earthquake/Explosion as a lead,so here I am,tricking my Scarf onto his when he sets up SR the first turn.I've never used this before,so he doesn't expect it.I then set up my own SR on turn two.On turn three,depending on the situation,I either explode for the kill or Meteor Mash to deal some damage,before killing with Explosion.Occa Berry is used to reduce the damage of fire moves.Adamant Nature and 252 Atk allows me to Explode with maximum power.The Speed EVs allow me to outspeed lead Lucario(if he ever uses it with Metagross).

Gengar @ Petaya Berry
Timid Nature
4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
-Substitute
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power Ice
-Focus Blast

My lead,paired with Metagross.Gengar has an Explosion immunity,and is obviously why I chose him.This Gengar is the standard SubPetaya set.Substitute on the turn I trick my scarf onto his Metagross.Shadow Ball is for the STAB.Hidden Power Ice hits all his Dragon- types.Focus Blast helps me with Steel- types who resist my other two moves,although the accuracy hurts alot.The EVs are the standard Special sweeper EVs.Timid nature was chosen over Modest to play safe,if he also has a Timid Gengar.

Snorlax @ Sitrus Berry
Adamant Nature
4 HP / 252 Def / 252 Atk
-Belly Drum
-Explosion Selfdestruct
-Crunch
-Earthquake

Another exploder.Belly Drum boosts its whopping attack to over 1500.It OHKOes everything I see after one Explosion.Crunch helps me against those pesky Ghost- types who has an immunity to Explosion,whilst Earthquake are for the Steels and Rocks who resist it.Sitrus Berry is as good as reducing 20 or 30% of Snorlax's health for the Belly Drum.EVs are standard sweeper EVs.Adamant of course maximizes the power.And by the way,he will get his Belly Drum up 100% of the time.

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
-Wish
-Follow Me
-Protect
-Thunder Wave / Air Slash

What I meant by Snorlax will get his Drum up 100% of the time.Togekiss can take at least one hit,and can Follow Me,while Snorlax drums.Wish and Protect form me the WishBliss combo,and help me scout Snorlax's Explosion.The last slot I am considering Thunder Wave,to make sure that Snorlax is faster than all those base 100s with a neutral nature,after paralyze,but it leaves me prone to taunt.Air Slash is considered,because of the flinch-hax it does,and the fact that Togekiss has quite a high base Speed.EVs allow Togekiss to take hits from both sides of the spectrum.

Registeel @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
188 HP / 68 Atk / 100 Def / 156 SDef 188 HP / 164 Atk / 156 SDef
-Iron Head
-Thunder Wave
-Explosion
-Fire Punch

Heh.One tricky guy here.Reason for choosing him over the others?He can survive a Scizor's Brick Break(My friend doesn't like those moves who drop the stats),and OHKO back with Fire Punch.Thunder Wave and Iron Head allows me to flinch-hax,and Explosion is an obvious move here.The EVs may seem a little weird.68 Atk allows me to OHKO my friend's 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Scizor.The remaining EVs were random numbers put into the Defensive stats.Adamant was chosen over the others to ensure maximum power with the moves.Regirock was not used because of his low base Special Defense(100),and loses to Registeel in terms of balanced stats.Changed Registeel's EVs to twash's suggestions.

spiritomb.png

Spiritomb @ Leftovers
Sassy Nature
164 HP / 252 Def / 92 SAtk 164 hp / 152 Def / 92 SAtk / 100 SDef
-Calm Mind
-Dark Pulse
-Hidden Power Fighting
-Rest

My special sweeper.With Spiritomb's tremendous amount of bulk,it can take hits and rest it off.Calm Mind boosts its special defense to unbreakable levels.Dark Pulse and Hidden Power Fighting provide me with unresisted coverage,and Rest does what it does.Reason choosing this over another Exploder(Lickilicky),is because I needed another Special sweeper,or else Physical walls will wall me to no end.EVs are a little weird.92 SAtk allows me to OHKO Salamence after +1 Dark Pulse.Defense is maxed for bulk.Remaining pumped into HP.Didn't put any in Special Defense,because Calm Mind already boosts it.Chose this guy over Mismagius,simply because it has more bulk.Same here,EVs as mentioned by twash.

This team is STRICTLY for Wi-Fi use only,and this is the first time I am using this against my friend.
 
You are wasting EVs on Registeel.

Your EV spread and nature gives 348 HP / 223 Atk / 361 Def / 375 SDef.
Use an Impish nature if possible with 188 HP / 148 Atk / 156 SDef, and you yeild 348 HP / 223 Atk / 369 Def / 375 SDef. You have 16 EVs to spare on top of the Defense gain.

Same thing with Spiritomb. Running 164 HP / 140 Def / 92 SAtk / 100 SDef with Bold gives the same numbers just with 12 EVs to spare.

Just a couple of small things.
 
Yeah,it was a typo.Meant to put Selfdestruct.

I shall amend the EVs,twash.I can't get the nature again.

Thanks guys.
