Rate it please. Any suggestions welcome.

Raikou @ Leftovers ** Condolezza Rice
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 68 HP / 252 Spd / 180 SAtk / 8 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

sub + calm mind. Seriously, I like HP Ice better with all those mence and grassers, but then I have nothing for Swampert.

Aerodactyl (M) @ Choice Band ** Donald Rumsfeld
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Double-Edge
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Rock Slide

CBer. Adamant or Jolly?

Donphan (M) @ Leftovers ** John Bolton
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 84 HP / 252 Atk / 172 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Rest
- Rock Slide

I love this thing.

Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers ** Paul Wolfowitz
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 196 HP / 94 Atk / 192 Def / 28 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Drill Peck
- Rest
- Roar
- Spikes

stupid skarmory

Regice @ Leftovers ** Dick Cheney
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 200 HP / 176 Def / 108 SAtk / 26 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Psych Up
- Rest
- Thunderbolt

not your usual special wall but I wanted to go for something different. Psych up is for calmcunes and the like. I also felt that I needed boltbeam....

Azumarill (M) @ Leftovers ** George Bush
Trait: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Atk / 44 Spd
Hardy Nature (Neutral)
- Focus Punch
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
- Hydro Pump
- Substitute

Okay, this is kinda weird. But I wanted a 404 sub to counter Blissey. Hydro Pump is to put a dent of skarm while attracting Blissey. This guy is UU right? I'm kinda fond of him but if anyone has something better then please tell me.

I think the EV spreads are kinda messed up.

Suggestions are in Bold. However, I'm not very good at rating, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

God, DavidUm, those EVs sucks

Skarmory is a defensive pokemon, it should have either max Def or HP

regice has enough Sdef to counter any special sweeper, so maxing it is just retarded

Raikou doesn´t need max Spd, just use ~340 to outpace Adamant Dugtrio

Finally, HP ghost is for hitting Gengar/Dusclops

Do not pass Go.
Max HP on Skarm - it's much more useful than max Def for the reason that HP applies to any kind of damage taken rather than just physical attacks.

Keep Adamant on Aero.

I like 60 HP EV's on Raikou for max leftovers recovery.

Raikou doesn´t need max Spd, just use ~340 to outpace Adamant Dugtrio

Duggy carries 334 Speed so I guess he only needs ~335, but HP won't OHKO duggy and duggy will OHKO with EQ.

The problem with outspeeding Duggy is that Raikou needs Timid to do it and Timid Raikou can't OHKO Duggy due to the SDef EV's people are putting on it for exactly that matter.

All you have to do is predict the switch and put a sub up. Only Jolly Dugtrio counters Raikou, and Jolly trio is gay

I think I'll keep Aerodactyl adamant, as I intend to switch to Regice if Jolteon comes by.

hmm... okay, so I'll get Timid to outspeed Duggy. 335 Speed. Won't that severly harm its attacking abilities though?

Like the guy above said, max Sp.Def seems kinda unneccessary on Regice.

About Azumarill.... would it be better if I switched it to a Hariyama? The thing I like about Azumarill is that it can stand surf/ice beams and deal at least some amount of special attack to hurt Weezing or Skarmory. But its Thunderbolt weakness isn't so helpful.

How durable is Hariyama against special attacks? Especially thunderbolt? It's got kick-*** HP but sh*tty Sp.Def, which makes me kinda unsure. Plus, it can't do sh*t to skarm or weezing. But it has great attack and HP so..... I'm seriously torn.

Can someone help?

Skarmory doesn't like critical cross chops or focus punches and weezing doesn't like burning it with guts.

Brave azumarill.

The point you were making in your post was not clear. What are you suggesting? That I delete Raikou?

Whenever I use Skarmory I use this set and spread:

Skarmory (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 24 Atk / 212 Def / 20 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Spikes
- Substitute/Rest
- Whirlwind

I tend to flip with the defense, attack and speed evs sometimes. But I never let the defense go under 400.
