So, this is the only/first team ive ever really used competitively, its gone through lots of tweaking over a few months of battling/testing, Medicham used to be Scizor and Lucario, Weezing use to be a forretress (which i dint like) and it took me forever to find a sixth guy so i just stuck Heatran in there and it worked out great, I think it works pretty well.

Kingdra (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Swift Swim
EV's: 252 attack, 66 speed, 192 Special attack
Rash nature
-Surf
-Waterfall
-Rain Dance
-Draco Meteor
So, my kingdra, its nickname is Beastdra cause its a beast. i usually wanna Rain Dance to boost my water stab moves and just try to kill stuff with Surf and Waterfall until he dies, taking advantage of swift swim. With its only weakness being dragon, i can usualy do just that since the oponents opening guy can rarely kill me before i kill him, Kingdra's not supposed to live to the late or even mid game. I used to have a Damp rock attached to it, and Dragon Pulse Instead of Draco meteor, but then people started to put me to sleep alot with spore on a lead breelom (the most common one) or smeargle or even hipnosis on crobat or something like that, and it sucked, so i replaced the Damp rock wth a Lum Berry to wake me up so i could kill them with Dragon Pulse, but Breelom always lived Dragon Pulse nad sleeped me anyway, so i was like "screw it" and just went with Draco meteor instead which killed Breelom in one hit. When i go up against sand storm teams im so happy, cause i just rain on their parade, lol.
Medicham (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pure Power
Ev's: 252 attack, 252 speed, 6 hp
Jolly Nature
-Brick Break
-Ice Punch
-Thunder Punch
-Psycho cut
Well, I chose Medicham because i just wanted to have a guy who could hit (kill) and run, and it does that pretty well. Its also my main physical attck guy (sucks i have to switch alot, but watever). Great revenge killer too (then the switch out for me). For that i nicknamed it Strike Ninja. It works pretty well with a wide covering range. It use to have Fire Punch instead of Thunder Punch, but i had to put in Thunder Punch or else my team could get destroyed by Gyrados, lol. Before i thought of using him i used Scizor with technician for a similar purpose, but i dint work out, then i tried a Lucario with THREE PRIORITY MOVES, which while interesting just dint work out, so i went with Medicham, which worked out.
Swampert (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EV's: 252 hp, 196 deffence, 62 special attack
Relaxed Nature
-Surf
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam
-Stealth Rock (?)
Well, Swamperts a reliable poke, i call mine Nessie, i chose the basic mixedpert, good typing and stats make it fairly durable and it can do good damage with a well rounded ice, water, and ground moves, just good poke. Stealth rock, good move. Like kingdra, works good against Sand storm teams.
Weezing (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
EV's: 4 hp, 252 defence, 252 special attack
Bold Nature
-Flamethrower
-Toxic
-Pain Split
-Haze
Weezing is the physical wall of my group, i named it Deep Purple after a technique ised in hunter x hunter by a smoke using guy. Flamethrowers has served me well against other Physical walls like the common Skarmory and Forretress, good for Scizor's too (i hit ko). Pain Split for recovery & damage, i have little hp ev's to make the damage greater. Toxic to take care of a few particular annoying pokes. I used to have explosion instead of Haze, but i needed a way to prevent somebody from doing some crazy sub/baton pass power up cycle of death on me, so i went with Haze, besides, Heatran can explode and Snorlax self destructs, so watever. It used to be a Forretress, but he just dint fit my style (it couldnt really fight asside from exploding).
Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
EV's : 6 hp, 252 attack, 252 special defense
Careful Nature
-Crunch
-Fire Punch
-Ice Punch
-Self Destruct
The special wall that can also hit back. You know most snorlaxes do that whole rest & sleep talk stall stuff or the curselax routine, and i used to do that too, but over time mine evolved into this weird thing which i like better ause of its good attaking ability. The reason it works so well for me is because people dont expect this, tey expect the usual, and i noticed some things. For example, a Salamce will always Dragon Dance in front of a Snorlax thinking its safe, they never expect to get ice punched (1 hit ko) in the face. Latias will try to calm mind alot, and get ice punched. Sometimes scizor will use swords dance or some crap like that thinking its safe and eat a fire punch (but most times itl kill me so i better switch to weezing). Its that kind of stuff im talking about. Besides that, it works pretty well against common special attackers, Crunch is good for ghosts and psychiks and combined with Ice Punch and Fire Punch it has good coverage, Self destruct is there for desperate times. Sometimes an opponent will bring in Gyrados, and in my experience they will always dragon dance, and me fearing getting killed by the thing, self destruct in its face, problem solved. For his wisdom, i name him Buddah.
Heatran @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EV's: 6 attack, 252 speed, 252 special attack
Naive Nature
-Flamethrower
-Earth Power
-Hidden Power (grass)
-Explosion
Heatran, obviously my special guy. It took me a long time to get a sixth guy, i knew i was looking for a special attacker, cause the rest of my team is prety physical focused (except Weezing) and i tried lots of stuff. I tried gengar, Alakazam, and even a special Charizard (with dragon dance, just for the speed boost, stupid.....). I came acroos Heatran and it worked best for my team. I have yet to come up with a cool nickname (help please?)
___________________________________
So this is my team, after kingdra is done with its death walk i usualy switch in Medicham for the revenge kill, and then switch out to either Weezing or Snorlax depending on the poke, and if its appropriate one of the other two and it continues like that. It think its a good team, it gives me alot of wins, and when i lose, its almost never an overwhelming defeat but a close game, which for me is a sign of a good team. It rapes Sand Teams and Hail teams.
If you guys have any advice to give me or see some gaping flaw in my team then help me out, though i wouldnt want to make any major changes (but if its neccesary, so be it). Or better yet if you have a good nickname for Heatran, post it!!
I usually have a hard time against guys like Cresselia, Vaporeon, Suicune, and Jirachi. Any help on dealing with those guys would be greatly appreaciated.
