I'm open to any changes to moves and Pokemon. Constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks for your help.

Porygon-Z @ Choice Scarf
Timid Nature
Trait: Download
EVs: 4 hp, 252 speed, 252 sp. attack
-Tri Attack
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Dark Pulse

This is my Anti-Lead and takes care of some of the top leads on Shoddy. Thunderbolt is used rather than HP Fighting for Gyarados since I don't think Weavile and Tyranitar will be too much of a threat. Tyranitar can OHKO with Pursuit if I switch out though, so that's a problem. Timid is used to outspeed Adamant ScarfChomp.

Metagross @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature
Evs: 252 hp, 252 attack, 4 defense
-Earthquake
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-Pursuit

Metagross will be able to switch in to Pokemon with its high defense and strike back. There's not really anything else to write about this, it just sweeps. It also has a handful of resistances that really helps it get in and take attacks that threaten my other Pokemon.

Garchomp @ Yache Berry
Jolly Nature
EVs: 4 hp, 252 attack, 252 speed
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Fang

After a Swords Dance, he can do serious damage to anything. Yache Berry helps that terrible Ice weakness. He can be both an early and late game sweeper and Metagross helps it out by resisting Ice and Dragon.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm Nature
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 80 hp, 252 defense, 176 sp. defense
-Aromatherapy
-Ice Beam
-Thunder Wave
-Softboiled

Aromatherapy is very helpful to my team since I have nothing to absorb status. The EVs are kind of weird, so I could use help with that. Thunder Wave was needed since I don't have anything to spread status either. Ice Beam will help with Garchomp and Salamence, and so I don't have to use Struggle if I'm taunted (I'll probably switch out anyway).

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
EVs: 216 hp, 148 defense, 144 speed
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang
-Stone Edge

A sweeping Gyarados with bulky EVs. I'll change this if Taunt would be more useful to my team, but I like being able to sweep without taking too much damage. Stone Edge will help against other Gyarados and 144 speed is to outrun Timid Gengars after a Dragon Dance. He can take a few hits with his huge HP so he has time to Dragon Dance.

Gengar @ Wide Lens
Timid Nature
EVs: 4 hp, 252 speed, 252 sp. attack
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt
-Focus Blast
-Hypnosis

Hypnosis can make one Pokemon useless and I suppose he could be used as a late game sweeper. Wide Lens increases Hypnosis's and Focus Blast's accuracy to 77%, but Life Orb might be more useful to me.

Gyarados NEEDS Earthquake. Calm Blisseys arent to great compared to Bold ones unles youre planning to run it in ubers. Nothing really else to say here because its the standard team. lol

 

[Tracker]

Poryong-Z definitely wants Download. The boost may seem a little random, but chances are, the things that give you an Attack boost would generally make you switch out anyways.

If you are using Gengar with Wide Lens, you can add Will-O-Wisp over Thunder Bolt if you want to try out less standard sets. Explosion is also a nice idea if you want to use Life Orb. It also helps with ScarfChomp and Weavile switch-ins. A hint of advice: when you switch Gengar in, always attack on the next turn. When your enemy see no Life Orb recoil, they might assume it`s Scarfed. Once you switch Gengar in next time, they will be more inclined to switch in something you can cripple with status.

 

[Poppin]

Gyarados NEEDS Earthquake. Calm Blisseys arent to great compared to Bold ones unles youre planning to run it in ubers. Nothing really else to say here because its the standard team. lol

This statement isn't entirely true.

For one, if he sacrifices one of those moves for Earthquake, then, he loses some valuable:

Earthquake > Waterfall- Loses only STAB move
Earthquake > Ice Fang- Loses coverage against Dragons
Earthquake > Stone Edge- Other Gyarados proceed to rape this one

Calm Blisseys are usable in OU as well :/. That just makes their ability to keep special sweepers at bay higher. Rather than taking a few phsyical hits, which Gengar can switch in on, Blissey is no longer 2-3KO'd by the most powerful of Special hitters such as Heatran, Azelf and Lucario.

 

[Sceptile is cool]

I think I would rather use Calm on Blissey since Gyarados, Garchomp, and Metagross can all take physical hits fairly well. What does Gyarados use Earthquake for?

If I were to use Will-o-Wisp on Gengar, would it be ok to replace Focus Blast because Ghost/Electric is resisted by only a few Pokemon and Magnezone is the only OU in that few? I put Download on Porygon-Z, by the way.

 

[BeastlyTyson]

Yeah youre right but seriously; without eq gyara isnt as strong. Gyara vs Gyara like he said switch to a pkmn that can take a hit better.

 

[Sceptile is cool]

I don't really have anything on my team that can take a hit from Gyarados, and Gyarados can counter itself pretty good as long as it doesn't get hit from Stone Edge.
