Third post :D

Anyway, here's my BF team. Any suggestions for better replacement moves or pokemon welcome. And i am willing to breed.
And i am aware of the skewed EV distribution on some members, but i've trained them for so long, so no new EV sets.

252 Sp.Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Hp
Psychic
Ice Punch
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt

Lapras @ Leftovers
Trait: Shell Armour
Modest Nature (+Sp.Attack, -Attack)
252 Sp.Atk, 252 Hp, 6 Spd

WHERE IS PIDGEOT?!
replace skarmory's sandstorm with toxic so that the opponents will be affected throughout the battle. :)

you might wanna give your salamence a dragon attack. not sure. i suppose rock slide will be enough for dragons and ice types.

you might want a light screen in there somewhere, since your team has weaknesses mainly to special types.

Lapras @ Shell Bell I used to give my Lapras Shell Bell, it helped me more than Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb much better, especially for the BF
Modest Nature (+Sp.Attack, -Attack)
252 Sp.Atk, 252 Hp, 6 Spd
Surf
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Confuse Ray/other You dont need Psychic, coz you have stabed Surf and Ice Beam, put Confuse Ray or another filler move
 

Freakshow

Jibaku
Lapras @ Leftovers (Lapras has a high HP for crying out loud!)
Trait: Water Absorb
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Sing
- Surf/Rest/Confuse Ray
 
Rest over Sandstorm on Skarmory. Don't put Toxic on it, Skarmory has better things to be doing than feebly statusing its foes.

Just for reference, Sandstorm is really useless. If you want continued damage, use Tyranitar for SandStream. Sandstorm only lasts five turns and takes up a moveslot, whereas SandStream lasts indefinitely and activates upon Tyranitar's entry.

Your Salamence is good, except Dragon Dance is better than Brick Break. Brick Break serves little purpose without STAB, and even then, Cross Chop/Reversal/Focus Punch are better Fighting moves.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've replaced Pyschic with C-Ray. And Rest over Sandstorm on Skarm. No offense ~*Commander Blizzard*~ but i find Brick Break's accuracy very helpful so far, especially against Chansey's and Snorlax's.
Not to mention the Dark types, so ill keep it in there. And if i had Dragon Dance, wouldnt that negate the purpose of Choice Band?

One question though, whats the difference between Bulk Up and Swords Dance? Dont they both raise attack?

You would put in leftovers.

Swords Dance- Raises Attack 2 levels, in other words doubles it.

Bulk Up- Raises Attack and Defense by one level, in other words times the attack and defense stat by 1.5. or add half of it.

Swords dance is better unless you want to raise durability.

On blaziken, he doesn't have the time or durability to raise defense so go swords dance.
 
Yeah, I suppose that would defeat the point of CBMence. Personally, I like DDMence better. AA/EQ/RS covers pretty much everything, and you're not limited to one move that way. One DD = CB boost, except without sacrificing all but one move, AND you get a Speed boost(not that Salamence needs it, per se, but you can outrun certain Pokémon that you couldn't before and OHKO them).
You can keep Brick Break, of course. But I find DD to be more helpful. Or, failing that, there's always Flamethrower/Hydro Pump. Both work well for threats your moveset can't get rid of(Skarmory/Forretress/Donphan(maybe)). Your choice, though. Salamence is quite versatile.
