Hi, here is a team that is holding a decent win record granted I'm still not over the hump yet. I have yet to play against a hail team (at least not any good ones) which is keeping me skeptical about this team. But I figured I'd post this team in the R/D center for some rates and fixes.
@ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Superpower
- Thunderbolt
- Toxic
- Light Screen

> The Lead.
>Luxray is such a great lead thanks to hit ability and typing. The game plan with him is fairly simple.. T-Bolt, T-Bolt, and T-Bolt. If for some circumstance he cannot T-Bolt move to a support option then switch out.
> Moveset.
>Superpower- Hits Steelix, Clefable, Regi's, and Abomasnow hard.
>Thunderbolt- Main attack. Stabbed T-Bolt... yup.
>Toxic- Toxic helps me to wear down anything I would not normally be able to take down. If I predict a switch I'll generally use this to cripple incoming Pokemon.
>Light Screen- If I know that I'm up against a Special attacker I will not hesitate to use this in the slightest. Being able to take less damage is never a bad thing. You know?
> Overall.
> Luxray was just tossed into this postion to see how he did. He fairs well against most leads and so no complaints here.
> This guy is my first switch-in to most physical attackers especially Staraptor.
> Unfortunately, this guy adds to my mass Earth-Weak team. But honestly, Earthquake just isn't as common in nUU.

I have issues...
Lack of Stealth Rock or any entry hazard.
Earthquake weak. Honestly, hasn't been a problem though.
Rotom's set. Seems alright.
In conclusion....
I like turtles.
