Careful
-Zen Headbutt
-Thunderpunch
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
This guy is bulky as hell and even with no attack ev's he still hits like a damn truck. His ev's are used to mainly deal with Starmie,Alakazam, Reuniclus, and the Lati twins, who would give my team problems otherwise. Tornadus is also no problem, since with it's spd ev's it can soak up a hurricane and hit it back hard with T-punch or Meteor Mash, respectively. Zen Headbutt is STAB for Conkeldurr and Mienshao, it also lets me stop Toxicroak in the rain even AFTER bulk ups. Earthquake is just there to round out coverage. Leftovers is a form of recovery.

-Overheat
-Stone Edge
-Grass Knot
-Close Combat
Infernape is sexy as hell and always comes through for me in the end. It may not be the powerhouse it was in DPP, but Infernape is still a beast and is one of my favorite pokemon. Being one of the few pokes that can take out the annoying skarmbliss duo, Ape is a staple on this team. Infernape is also part of my fire/water/grass core. This set is probably his bread and butter, the coverage here is amazing. Overheat is STAB and hits pretty damn hard after Blaze activates. Stone Edge is to hit Gyrados and The Dragons on a predicted switch, 0hko's Ninetails and volcarona, and hits anything else hard on the switch. Grass Knot pretty much shits all over Hippowdon, Donphon, and Jellicent, who gives Ape a hard time otherwise. Close Combat is such a blessed move, being the move that 0-2hko's alot of things in this meta.

Relaxed
-Scald
-Icy Wind
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock
"OMG, LIKE, WHY DON'T YOU USE GASTRODON OR SOMETHING?" Seismitoad is 2/3 of my FWG core. Look, it's more than obvious. Seismitoad is a piece of shit. A real piece of shit. Terrible stats, lack of physical water STAB, and it's just plain ugly. However, BW2 blessed this frog with some tools that Make it a lil less shitty. First, Icy Wind. With Icy Wind, it gives Seismitoad utility as he shuts down set up sweepers with speed control. I can Totally stop the sweep of D-nite, Salamence, Gyrados, Terrakion, (prettymuchanydamnthingwithagilitydragondancerockpolish). Second, Stealth Rock. Stealth Rock takes the pressure off of my sweepers and gives them a much easier job. Third, Water Absorb. Everyone is on the rain team bandwagon and I needed something to make it a lil easier to deal with. Water types pretty much can't do shit to him while I can cripple them with Scald or Icy Wind. It's simple. Switch in on Hydro Pump/Scald, and set up your Rocks. Lefties for max recovery possible, with his ev's invested in defense and hp for durability.

-Roost
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Punch
Nobody Uses Bulky Dnite anymore. However, I still think it's effective. With this set, I can set up multiple times, recover, and begin to sweep. All I need is 2 dances and it's GG. Dragon Claw is STAB, safe stab, which doesn't make me Steel Type bait. Fire Punch hits everything else in the tier for at least neutral coverage. The only frustrating thing is that I can't bring him out until AFTER Heatran is gone since he totally walls me like a stack of bricks, But Infernape and sometimes Gengar and Sceptile gets rid of tran, in Dnite's favor.

Sceptile is soooo underrated it's crazy. He has blistering speed, Good Special Attack, a kick ass movepool. Lol, JK about the movepool. He is the 3rd member of the FWG core. Sceptile helps me with bulky waters, Leaf Storm pretty much one shots them, and with Specs, it dents alot of unprepared pokemon in the tier. Hidden Power Fire nabs Ferro, Foretress, and Scizor, while Focus Blast hits Ferro in the rain, and oblitherates Heatran. Dragon Pulse rounds up coverage, lets me one shot the Dragons. I went for Modest for a bit more punch in his attacks, as he already is pretty speedy even with a neutral speed nature.

-Thunderbolt
-Giga Drain
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
Wait, so he gets three immunities, beastly special attack, huge movepool, AND speed?! Sign me up! Gengar is just ridiculous. Shadow Ball is stab, and with Focus Blast, those two moves alone give me perfect coverage. So why tbolt and giga drain? Giga Drain softens the pain of LO, picking off hippowdown, rotom-w, and donphan. Tbolt hits bulky waters hard, also has a nice chance of prlz in the process. Gengar, paired with Seismitoad and Metagross, stop Terrakion right in his muthaf*ckin tracks. Gengar is immune to close combat and Metagross and Seismitoad resist Stone edge, so by switching in and out, choiced terrakion becomes damn near useless.
So guys, let me know how you like the team. Im open to suggestions. :)
