Lol. You make me laugh. If I have Jirachi on this team, it would more so worsen it then actually help it get better, seeing it only has good synergy with Dragonite, and yet with everybody else it would share weaknesses with my team (that I wouldn't be able to cover as well as I already have.
And now you're saying that standards have fallen.. oh, sir. I'm not bad. Trust me. I'm not lying about the team is able to take on all the threats you listed, and if you don't believe me, ask Rairyan. No standards have fallen, the players weren't bluffing (and people don't bluff when they rage quit), and I'm actually good, just like the team is (or was).
And also, yes, the team is good, unless I've fought people on PO that gave me +22 while I would lose 10 about 100 times who just sucked, but that is very unlikely.
How clueless are you? The best teams aren't always the one with top notch defensive synergy. Being 6-0ed by dragons is far worse (and common) than having to face trouble with a ground user (which again shouldn't hurt you much with 1 immunity and a physical tank). If a single pokemon checks all the issues your team cannot handle, then that is deemed to be very good. And it doesn't have to be Jirachi, any Steel will do. (Bronzong, Skarmory for eg.)
Oh, and I'm not asking anyone, I'm telling you what I saw there. The last time I checked it was rate-my-team and not rate-my-playstyle.
Saying that you can
'play around and deal with the given threats' doesn't cut it.
On being inquired how you plan to deal with them, all you've provided me is with how Magnezone can Magically tank outrages (which it cannot) and Swampert can roar away boosts (which it can do at best once with around 10-20% HP left, RNG permitting) and BOTH are only assuming outrages and not the other coverage moves like Earthquake and fire punch. and THAT is terrible.You just avoided being 6-0ed and you won't be able to do it again.
and if it's a Boosted Haxorus we're talking about then it's GG. Sorry you cannot do a single damn thing about it it Clean out OHKOes even magnezone and Swampert.
And the next one is so fantastic that I'll just quote it flat out from you.
Who uses Magic Coat. lol. The only problem that may involve that is maybe Espeon or Xatu, but Dragonite sets up on both of those and Magnezone just laughs at Xatu.
^^what kind of bull****
is this?
Maybe you can ladder, people have laddered with worse teams before, but if you don't want to patch up giant holes in this team then please don't put it up for RMT.
The team, as of now
SUCKS. Just admit it. How you 'play around' your threats is irrelevant here, that's not the purpose of landing on RMT forums.
And yeah while on that, It is not a rater's duty to personally test out teams (which i have still done anyways) before rating. Try that kind of thing somewhere like Smogon RMT and you'll be flamed within an hour. it's
YOUR job to post
LOGS/REPLAY and Screenshots of Ladder Peaks , if you want to demonstrate your team in a match. And btw,
you didn't play the team right is a shitty excuse. It's not ****ing randbats. 90% of OU is good teambuilding.
Oh and talking about flaming. You must really stop doing that. My post count might not indicate it, I have been around WAY longer than you have and my only activity is in the RMT subforum, where a single rate post usually suffices. I may not be the greatest, but I know my ****. This is the first time I've taken pains to comment more than twice apart from my own RMTs and it's a shame that it's for an ungrateful turd like you.
And again. If you want to take my advice take it, otherwise politely thank and walk away. We do not make a living out of rating teams. People take their time out to do this stuff, and you should be grateful for that.

PS: Anything below rank 200 in Pokemon Online is pretty meh, considering rating decays and ladder resets don't take place, and it's the same bunch of people. And considering that just maybe you're telling the truth, it's easy to get ±20 deviation, it
doesn't depend on a large extent on the skill of the opposing player. Especially if you're laddering with a new alt. You clearly don't even have any idea of how the ladder system works. So while you're on that I suggest you go through Wikipedia articles on the ACRE and the Glicko2 rating systems.
