This is my typical team that i use on shoddy, but due to the unwelcome changes platinum brought i think it needs a revamp, so here it is, any rates welcome
Well that's my team, all rates ar welcome, thanks a lot for looking

Gyarados
CutiePie@leftovers
-Adamant
-Intimidate
215Hp/124Atk/168Def
-WaterFall
-IceFang
-Taunt
-StoneEdge
Right the Ev's on this thing actually work, they give it Equal defenses and max lefties recovery, whilst also having a lot of attacking power. This works on suprise, since most people will see StonEdge and instantly presume that im not running IceFang, and switch into bulky Grass types, which then get taunted and iceFang 2-3hko's most of them, or significantly cripples them before they switch. There are no speed ev's since Gyarados is at that point in speed were it needs a lot of speed ev's to outrun anything, and since the only things im bothered about outrunning are slower than it anyway (taunt), there was no need for speed evs. Dragon dance has been neglected because i never really got the chance to use it, and i always favoured to hit hard when i had the chance than attempt to set up sweep.
Electivire
BrumBrum@LifeOrb
-Rash
-MotorDrive
76Atk/252SpA/180Speed
-FlameThrower
-HiddenPower (Ice)
-ThunderBolt
-CrossChop
Special Based Mixvire, Nothing really to say that you don't already know, teams up well with gyarados, I might take this off for a physical electivire, since i think that would help my team more, since i lack a Physical sweeper.
Gengar
BOO!!!@Leftovers
-Hasty
-Levitate
64atk/192SpA/252Speed
-Hypnosis/DestinyBond
-FocusPunch
-ShadowBall
-Substitute
SubPunch Gengar, completely rips apart most team, i would have no trouble with keeping this on, but with the 10% accuracy drop on hypnosis, it makes me a bit uneasy using it, especially since gengar cannot take a hit. ShadowBall+FocusPunch hit everything in the game, not to mention they hit the majority of seriously bad *** walls/tanks for super effective damage. Substitute to make use of Gengars hp and to fire out FP's from behind.
Tangrowth
Noodles!@Leftovers
-LeafGuard
-Impish
252Hp/252Def/6Atk
-Leechseed
-PowerWhip
-KnockOff/StunSpore/Synthesis/SleepPowder
-KnockOff/StunSpore/Synthesis/SleepPowder
Standard Tangrowth, (Noodles! FTW), I just maxed it's Def since outspeeding swampert isn't a biggy when zapdos is covering it, Leech seed for draining and regaining, powerwhip for the main reason it's here: countering T-tar and SE Gyara. As these two completely ripped through my team (as pointed out by quite a few people xD), but this covers them both. The last two slots are were i'm pleh, Knock off is to annoy things and rid them of there items (which is always nice), stun spore is to cripple special sweepers coming in, and help against swampert should Zapdos be dead, synthesis is for reliable recovery but considering i'm countering T-tar it isn't all that brilliant, sleep powder is too cripple anything for a while, if i do use Sleep Powder then i'm gonna dump it off Gengar.
Zapdos
BadHairDay@Leftovers
-Pressure
-Calm
252Hp/36Def/220SpD
-DisCharge
-HiddenPower (Grass)
-HeatWave
-Roost
Specialy Defensive Zapdos, counters: Scizor, Swampert, Rhyperior, Gyarados, Lucario the list goes on. Those are just the ones off the top of my head, but even those it doesn't counter gets severley crippled by Discharge, granted most of them counterable pokes have a Supereffective attack against it, but unless i switch into that attack, it won't kill me. The Ev's are so like smogon's except SpD mindied and suprise people, since they always except a physically defensive Zapdos. HP Grass means it can take on swampert and rhyperior, which my team would otherwise have problems against. HeatWave lets it kill the many steel types there are, along with bulky grasses who switch in once they see i've got HP Grass. Roost for obvious reasons.
Heatran
Gribbit!@ChoiceScarf
-Flashfire
-Modest
12Hp/252SpA/244Speed
-FireBlast
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-EarthPower
-DragonPulse
Scarftran, possibly the most feared pokemon on wifi, the Ev's are speed game with the rest dumped in HP, I used Dragon pulse over Explosion since in all the time i've used this team, i used explosion once, and he switched to skarmory who LOL'ed at me. What i'm saying is that unless your at full HP explosion is way too predictable, DragonPulse has rather poor coverage considering HP Ice, but it has great neutral coverage, and is really good late game when lots of pokes are weakened enough to be in Heatran's range.
