Seribii Staff...rly!
Sheer Cold Artiuno doesn't work. It is to frail to survive many hits thanks to 4* rock weakness and the hax in the battle tower. Use smeargle instead:

Smearlge@Focus Sash
Jolly (If you can be bothered)

Spore
Lock On
Sheer Cold
Seismic Toss

Give Latios Psychic > Luster Purge, Ice Beam over Recover, and Thunderbolt over Arial Ace. This gives it amazing coverage. Psychic can be taught by the move relearner, and the other two moves are TMs that can be bought from the game courner. Just buy 20,000 coins and spend them on the TMs for Ice Beam and T-Bolt.

Lefeon must go. You could replace it with a good Physical attacker to go with Latios. Some examples:

Scizor@Life Orb
Adamant
Technician <--that's essentail

X-Scissor
Pursuit
Bullet Punch
Superpower

Or if you don't have access to platinum:

Metagross@Life Orb
Adamant

Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Explosion
Bullet Punch

Of course, if your lazy you can skip natures.

You could try this Scizor set as well:

Scizor @ Life Orb
Adamant Nature
Ability: Technician
34 HP/252 atk/224 spd
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Double-Hit
-X-Scissor/Superpower

This is a very good counter to Substitute abusers, especially lead Ninjasks, who often carry Substitute.

Not much pokes in the bt use substitute and double hit is fail.You could try the normal set with 252atk / 252hp / 4spdef.

Articuno has great defences. It takes less damage than smeargle any day.

0Atk Neutral Geodude Rock Throw Vs. 252 HP/Def Bold Articuno (Standard)
36-42%

0Atk Neutral Geodude Rock Throw Vs. 252 HP Neutral Smeargle
33-38%

Now take into account that Articuno is 4x weak vs. rock and you realise how pathetic smeargle is.
