Soul Dew is illegal. :(
What? Okay, this'll be the last time I just skim through the rules...geez, soul dew is illegal and Arceus isn't? I guess this means light clay...

Geez, they really need to improve this whole tournament system. I'd set it up so that you could have different rules for different tournies, not just species. First Dark Void, now Soul Dew...ugh.

I wish Soul Dew wasn't illegal, makes me a tad bit sad :(

I can't help you with synergy...but I can suggest that you give something rain dance. Weather wars are very hard in 4vs4 rotation, since you want to avoid swapping out, so if the sun goes up against you, it's up for good.

Also, the team I'm bringing is in my sig.

Will just slap all my OP legendarys together for the berry and some fun.

Regenerator ho-oh, Psychoboost lugia, Deoxys D, Water pulse / Mimic rayQ, Counter Groudon, Mimic Kyogre, Selfdestruct Counter Mewto, Counter Selfdestruct gengar :>

Mimic Them Recovers/Roost yo. Always heal never die. Gen 3 OP moves. So 6 of these. Not sure yet, might just run with double weather airlock to fk over weather teams.

Signed for it. And my team might possibly be Dream World vote Arceus, Dialga, Rayquaza, Dream Radar Giratina, FEB2012 Mewtwo, and Shiny White Kyurem.

Ehhhhh...I'm probably going to compete, but I'm still deciding on what team I'm going to use. After my horrendous performance last tourney (ranking being in the 20,000s...conversely, my Winter Battle ranking was around the 900s), I'm hoping to do better. My biggest issue is the use of legendaries this tourney: I'm still debating on whether or not I should add one (NO MORE THAN ONE) legendary to my team as something of a "last resort" member, given that there's going to be legendaries coming out of the woodwork in this one.

Any thoughts/advice for me?

Hmm, none that I can name off the top of my head, that is, since you are familiar with the metagame (judging by what you said.) All I'll say is you might want to build a diverse team that can suffer little damage from legends but also give a good punch as well. Also there might be a decent amount of weather teams being used here, or at least, Groudons and Kyogres, seeing as they are famous when being used in the Ubers metagame.

Nah, with Psystrike, having mostly special attackers isn't a problem.

Actually Dark Void is totally cheap and Soul Dew makes the Lati Duo overpowered. :p

I am still ridiculously undecided about my team. Can anyone please read my RMT and offer suggestions?

Still thinking what to do. With everyone bringing out raw power and legendaries, curious if it'll be worth bringing a lv 1 aron to troll with. Albeit you gotta watch out for giratina and turboblaze/terravolt.

Aron is the most evil thing to exist, especially in rotation battles.

Though I hear Ghost Arceus is rather popular in Ubers. You've got a lot to watch out for.

Pokemon I am terrified to face: Extremekiller Arceus. Arceus, PERIOD. Groudon. Kyogre. Shaymin Sky Forme. I'm running sand trick room because I look at the metagame and want to run in the other direction. I WISH I had picked up a Rayquaza somehow, This team desperately needs its mixed stats, ability, and resistances.

^Sky Forme shaymin cant be used in the battle box, so dont worry.
