Link is surely made of iron

Sorry was reading the Odyssey (again) and I always found that line funny.

You are unflinching odysseus, surely you are made of iron.

Now to pokemon-

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP/108 Atk/100 Def/144 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Taunt
- Waterfall

Taunt Gyara is one of my favorite leads. The only problems I have are the inability to kill Starmie switch ins, and the inability to hit electric types. I am tempted to switch Stone Edge to Earthquake (has worked better in the past)
---
Drapion (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 252 HP/12 Atk/244 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Crunch
- Sleep Talk
- Rest
- Earthquake

The status absorber for my team and the special wall. Earthquake for somewhat better coverage, as I dont want to set up Toxic Spikes for fear of Heracross. Tempted to occasionally switch to Knock Off, but not sure.

Flygon (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk/136 Spd/120 SAtk
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn

This has been a fun addition to the team. Functions as a revenge killer/ absorber from electric attacks for Gyarados. Not much to say here besides wanting to switch Stone Edge to Fire Blast (been testing)

Rotom-c @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/88 Spd/168 SDef
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Leaf Storm
- Light Screen
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt

A set found from the updates. Light Screen allows Rotom to stop those Bulky Waters who occasionally give me trouble. Also stops Swampert in their tracks.
---
Bronzong @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Explosion
- Gyro Ball
- Hypnosis
- Stealth Rock

Switches into Dragon attacks for me, along with Stealth Rock support. I use this mainly to counter those annoying Weavile and Tyranitar. I really do want a way to switch this out, thought I havent found anything worth it yet.

Blaziken (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk/132 Spd/124 SAtk
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Agility
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Superpower

The final sweeper for my team, who recieves some general support from Rotom-C. Superpower > Sky Uppercut for greater damage, as it allows me to set up on Blissey/ Snorlax. Fire Blast is probably going to switch to Flamethrower though, as I dont like the accuracy drop. Also Hidden Power Ice stops Gliscor and Dragons.

Problem Pokemon-
Suicune/ Milotic/ Vaporeon- Rotom-C stops these pretty well, but if they Calm Mind up (Suicune especially) I am in trouble
Fighting Types- rather broad, but they are generally difficult to take down. Machamp especially can give me trouble, though Lucario isnt hard to kill and neither is Infernape


Other than that I havent had much trouble besides Jolteon hit-n-running my team. Any advice/ observations/ warnings?



Thinking about Skymin/ Spiritomb
 
Let start off by saying Skunktank does better than Drapion at walling special attacks.

You have Light Screen, so you might want to use Will-o-Wisp with it. If you do, consider switching to Rotom-H to use Hydro Pump.

Don't see anything that'll sweep you off your feet.
 
Saw a fellow Rotom-C user, I had to give a shout out.

I use similar EVs, but you could also try Discharge over 'Bolt. I find it's at it's best when it is trying to paralyse stuff and then Leaf Storming ground switch ins, ya know? I also use WoW over Shadow Ball (and a Calm nature I think... ) but that's just me. Try it out. ;P

I outta try out Modest. 0.o
 
A bit too late to bump, I think. Please see the RMT rules.

Rule #7 said:
7. Bumping. If your team is interesting enough to comment on, people will do it for you. If no one at all comments on your RMT for around 24 hours, feel free to bump it. After that, do not bump it again unless you are making significant changes.
