This is my main Shoddy team. I left it unchanged even with Platinum. I am using only FIVE level 100 Pokémon on this team. Number 6 is the Starly version of FEAR. Considering adjusting this team to Platinum standard. I have accumulated seven wins (including a 6-0 against a baton pass chain) and IDK how many losses (I think five or so?) with this team. I do play Item Clause with this team. Beyond Starly it's part sweepers and part skarmbliss.
So here's the team:
Gyarados @Lifeorb
trait:Intimidate
ev:74 HP 252 Attack 184 Speed
nature:Adamant
Dragon Dance
Ice Fang
Earthquake
Waterfall
My Dragon Dancing Gyarados. I might consider bounce, but Bronzong resists Ice/Flying/Ground.
---
Garchomp @Choice Band
trait:Sand Veil
ev:82 HP 176 Attack 252 Speed
nature:Jolly
Fire Fang
Shadow Claw
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Considering putting skymin over this. Electivire is similar to it, and I could use a special attacker. I was actually one of the few, if not the only, Shoddy battler to use a band chomp. The band chomp reaches 510 attack with 176 ev in attack. That is comparable to the Special Attack of both Tooth Clamperl (540) and the übers' Specs Kyogre (550). I was new to battling dp when I composed this team, and I didn't even know about Platinum.

Electivire @Expert Belt
trait:Motor Drive
ev:176 HP 252 Attack 76 Special Attack 6 Speed
nature:Lonely
Fire Punch
Ice Punch
Earthquake
Thunderbolt
My standard mixvire. Motor Drive is so that I can take an electric attack aimed at either Gyarados or Skarmory and turn it into a +1 speed boost.

Skarmory @Shed Shell
trait:Keen Eye
ev:252 HP 76 Attack 182 Defense
nature:Impish
Brave Bird
Roost
Whirlwind
Spikes
The nature was supposed to be impish, when all this time I accidentally put lonely which is a -def nature, which is why I have accumulated said losses. But anyway this is standard supporter/wall Skarmory. And this was the star of my team when I was facing said baton pass chain. Brave Bird is for the power when I need it. The recoil can be roosted off anyway. Shed Shell over leftovers because this is item clause, and just in case probopass or magnezone comes in and traps me with Magnet Pull. And 'zone's Thunderbolt will OHKO me.

Blissey @leftovers
trait:Natural Cure
ev:252 HP 76 Special Attack 182 Special Defense
nature:Bold
Softboiled
Flamethrower
Protect
Thunder Wave
Pretty much your standard bliss. I may consider wish because this team can use some healing outside of skarmbliss.

Starly @Focus Sash
trait:Keen Eye
level:1
evs and nature don't matter
Quick Attack
Endeavor
(Fillers)
I got the idea of FEAR from Marriland's vid vs. Untouchable (check my favorites for it, my Youtube channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/Pika250 ; it may be in the far end of the faves list, it's not in my top faves.) I chose Starly instead of Rattata because Starly is immune to spikes and Toxic spikes.
So there you have it, my main Shoddy team. This is for the official shoddy server. Rate away!
