You might be thinking why I have 3 choice scarf users. Well I can tell you with experience that this rarely hinders me at all, IN most cases it puts me at a great advantage. To point out one strategy, I usally start with skarm when I see a obvious hazard setter lead. Then if they do start with a hazard lead to get those SR against my Flying team I switch into Xatu. From there I commence to set up my screens. If they decide to stay in, I have heatwave to badly damage the 3 most common hazard setters in OU. If they happen to switch into a set up sweeper right away I have t wave to stop them. After the Screens are up I switch into gyrarados and I Dragon Dance once or twice. Ive been back and forth with decideing to put a lum berry or life orb on gyrarados and the immedite power boost from life orb has proved to be more useful. From there gyarardos can manage to at the least take out half the team from the start. While I clean up with my powerful Choice scarfers. This teams strategy is to finish the opponent off as fast as possible with lots of power. However If I'm stalled long enough the more time that the battle goes on the less likely I am to win.
