Well, that's my team. It's experimental, and I constantly edit it. I know I need wish support, but Hypno doesn't get wish in XD and I can't find a good wisher. Many movesets and EV spreads, especially dragonite's, are more of an experiment, so yeah. I'm still learning. Any help is appreciated, so post away. Thanks in advance.
 
I'm pretty sure Slaking is neither UU or BL...
Your Steelix isn't going to be able to take hits forever and you're going to need it, consider Rest or, put Wish on Hypno.

Kingdra really doesn't do much...maybe put Cloyster over it, for spikes and spinning, which would allow you to put another move on your Blastoise
 
Uh, Hypno doesn't learn wish. *checks guide book* Nope, it doesn't. I thought of hypnosis, but its accuracy ticks me off and is nothing I can rely on. I really wouldn't consider getting rid of anybody, excect MAYBE Scizor. Nah, he's my heracross counter. I get what you're saying, but I don't know how to incorperate it into my team. I wasn't thinking when I made that title, but Slaking IMO was needed. I'll be using this in the OU metagame (I love me a challenge) so I'm cool with Slaking's status.
 
Hypno got wish as an XD move I believe, so whilst it may not be in the rule book it can actually Wish, and as lute siad it would offer invaluable support to your team.

I notice that you don't have anybody to cure/absorb status so you might want to consider a Heal Beller or Aromatherapist over either Kingdra or Scizor.
 
Okay, thanks. I don't want a hit 'n' run physical sweeper like slaking, so tauros is replacing it...

Tauros@Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Attack
~Return
~HP Ghost/Fighting
~Iron Tail (filler...)
~Earthquake

Also, Kingdra has HP Electric after all anyways...lucky me. So dragonbreath is gone for it. If there is any pokemon that would benefit this team more than scizor, please do tell me, especially if it's a cleric. As for hypno, forgot about XD, which I luckily have. I'll have psychic and wish in my last two slots. Anything else?

EDIT: Also, I've edited my fist post with all the changes.
 
yeah, sleep talk > iron tail. also hp ghost is much better than hp fighting, giving you a chance to off gengar, and because hp fight doesnt hit else that isnt covered by your other moves.
 
Okay, thanks guys. Articuno is one of my favorite pokemon, so I'll think about it. I also have pokemon XD so I can get the unique moves. I basically at this point have taken out scizor, and am ready to replace it. However, I feel my team doesn't counter all OU threats. What do I do if curselax shows up? Use splash? Well, thanks again. Any suggestions are appreciated. Also, I'm bad with articuno, so I need help there as well.
 
Articuno@???
??? Nature
EVs: ???
~Haze
~Heal Bell
~Ice Beam
~???

Obviously, I'm no good with Articuno. I really need help with it. I need a cleric, so this is good, but I'm stuck with what to do with EVs and stuff. Any help is a problem. Sorry for the noob question, but how will I deal with TTar (any variation) or curselax? Thanks.
 
I'd put toxic over explosion over Steelix as he's' your only real wall and you need him too much

tbh, I really don't see the use for Kingdra since youll set up a rain dance and automatically be met with a blissey/snorlax/regice

Scizor is not really outspeeding anything with a jolly nature anyways and would do better with something like impish/adamant. You could still just boot him for a cleric though
 
Okay, fair enough. Toxic over explosion. I don't see how hypno isn't a true wall, but okay. Articuno can take a special hit as well, which is who I plan on using. It'll be my cleric. Well, still need help on Articuno. Also, about Kingdra, Once I set up rain dance, it'll be obvious what I'm doing, and the special wall (most likely blissey) will come in. That's when I switch out for something I think will counter the incoming poke...predicting the prediction pretty much. I'm very good at predicting, which is why I love kingdra so much. Like many of my strategies, it may definately be flawed, so I'd like to know if it is. I use kingdra and steelix in all of my teams, so I'm rather closed minded about replacing my favorites. I'm not one for OU teams...so yeah, any more help is appreciated. You guys have helped a lot.

EDIT: Articuno/some other replacement is taking out scizor BTW.

EDIT 2: Also, Dragonite is a consideration for my last slot...
