Uxie @ Light Clay
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Light Screen
- Psychic
- U-turn
I used Uxie over Azelf because i like using a pokemon more than once in a match and not just have it explode right away. Uxie is incedibly sturdy and Supports my team through Stealth Rock and more importantly setting up Light Screen.I have no true special sponge on my team but behind a light screen Uxie makes a good substitute for one.U turn is there to switch out and aoid double damage from pursuit. Psychich so he wont get completely shut down by taunt.Im thinking of replacing it for Reflect though.

Rotom-H@ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 140 HP/190 Spd/180 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Overheat
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
I decided to use him over gengar as a rapid spin blocker because of his powerful Overheat.His Speed Evs allow him to outrun adamant max speed Lucario makin it an awesome check.It is Immune to Extreme Speed and will KO Luke before it can Crunch. Its HP Evs still make it sturdy enough to take a couple hits, especially with the Light screen support. I choose thunder-wave over will-o-wisp so that Heatran will have a harder time switching in.

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP/60 Atk/192 Def/6 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes
My rapid spinner and secondary spiker.Light Screen makes it incredibly easy for him to set up toxic spikes. He takes physical hits very well. I choose Earthquake over Explosion so that he can actually take on magnezone without magnet rise and win. I also found that he makes an excellent Calm Mind Jirachi Counter as he Can Break its Substitutes with earthquake and resists both its STABs.

Gyarados (M) @ Charti Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 152 HP/100 Atk/80 Def/176 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Taunt
- Return
Standard Bulkydos. Lately its become my favorite guy on this team. I find that he can Set up easily behind a lightscreen and he can stop any attempts to Status or Phaze away his Dragon Dances with Taunt. I first Used a waccan berry so it could live through most thunderbolts, but i find that Dragon Dance Tyranitar gives my team a lot of problems. Charti Berry + Imtimidate allows Gyarados to survive a Stone Edge on average. I choose Return over Stone Edge for Better Coverage.

Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 18 Atk/240 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Explosion
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Thunderbolt
Magnezone has an awesome addition to my team. It can trap and Kill Steel types, most notably Scizor and Skarmory, and it has explosion to get rid of special walls such as Latias. The only thing i dont like is relying on Flash cannon.Magnezones Special Moveset isnt the greatest.The Speed Evs Allow me to outrun a Max Speed Timid Gengar, the rest went into attack to give Explosion some extra power.

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 40 Atk/216 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Close Combat
- Fire Blast
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Infernape is usually the one cleaning house once my opponents team has been sufficiently weakened. I run both HP Ice and Grass knot to cover both Salamence and Swampert. I have been considering replacing him with Swords Dance Gliscor or a Machamp lately though.Not because he is useless, he is incredible really, but because Tyranitar is probably my biggest threat if it has a dragon dance under its belt. I tried using a choice Scarf set with Thuder punch instead of grass knot for gyarados, which works as a great revenge killer, but i find the lack of power dissapointing.

So there is my team. Im happy to hear any suggestions, especially for a replacement for Rotom-H, because sadly I cant use him over wifi. The forms are kinda pointless in the game, but what can we do?
