New 2v2 Team

[Brown Bomber]

My previous team sucked, so I revamped it. Doing decently so far. For the Nintendo tourney, which I qualified for tonight.

Kyogre @ Chesto Berry ** Lavos
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Thunder

Kyogre takes its crown back in 2v2.

Starmie @ Petaya Berry ** Marle
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Skill Swap
- Thunder
- Thunder Wave

Skill Swapping a Swift Swim from an opposing Poke is hot. Seriously.

Latios (M) @ Lum Berry ** Epoch
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 216 SAtk / 40 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Dragon Claw
- Ice Beam
- Thunder

Soul Dew is banned in the Nintendo tourney. Counters Groudon, works with the weather.

Rayquaza @ Shell Bell ** Blackbird
Trait: Air Lock
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Rock Slide

You know and love Rayquaza.

Kingdra (M) @ BrightPowder ** Sushie
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 244 HP / 12 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Protect

HP Grass for Lanturn who are like, "lol I can stop Rain Dance teams". Maybe Cheri Berry (lol) for annoying paralysis?

Shedinja @ (No Item) ** Lady Bow
Trait: Wonder Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Protect
- Shadow Ball
- Silver Wind
- Thief

Protects against Explosions, steals Lum Berries, halts a lot of 2v2 Pokes with a lack of Spikes and Sandstorm.

Suggestions?

Don't really count on rest, I use Kyogre for Surf Shellbell sweep and decently works better than this but I wouldn't know about this team..

Protects against Explosions, steals Lum Berries, halts a lot of 2v2 Pokes with a lack of Spikes and Sandstorm. Oh man if you think this will stop Tauros you are on a whole other level, Blissey and the 2v2 Curselax just easily outstall this. I don't see why you want to theif since only one of your opponents pokemon can have the lum, and the whole point of just wasting your turn use Sworsdance.
Suggestions?

Late game rockslide completly kos you, but early you still have that special wall weak and those Hydropumps don't do enough not to mention how CB goes right through you and explosion won't be stopped by a single poke and how only two pokes can even protect.

May I just ask, what nintendo tourney?

May I just ask, what nintendo tourney?

It's the 2006 Journey Across America, it some a few odd rules here and there.

What? Why the hell is Soul Dew banned and deoxys allowed ._.

Who said Deoxys was allowed? If I recall the bans were Soul Dew, Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, item clause, no leftovers on wobbafet, "clone clause", and nickname clause.

I'm also going to disagree about taking Dragon Claw off of Rayquaza. It hits Dragons hard, especially if you had to eat an Intimidate or two. He does have insanely high Special Attack, even without any EVs or even with a negative nature. Not sure how much I like the idea of an anti-weather Pokemon on a weather team.

Nintendo is quite stupid really, what is wobbuffet going to do in double battles, and how will leftovers affect it. They ban the 600 legends but allow the 670s and 80s to roam free, I mean wtf are the bannings going to do..

300 spattack Dragon claw isn't exactly a sweeper since it doesn't even OHKO the common mence that Intimidates you and when there is Icebeam all around why should you worry. However that last part I do agree with since Rayquaza may just mess your team up, stick a Regice/Electric/or an Aerodactyl which will kill more than this no power quaza..
