Please rate my anger-inducting team, and give suggestions on how to make it more anger-inducing.

Team's overall purpose: to demolish rookie Pokemon players the most frustrating way imaginable.
Team's in-battle purpose: PP Drain

Members (in no particular order):

Suicune
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Bold
EVs: 6 HP, 252 Def, 252 Sp. Def
- Protect
- Toxic

Giratina (Alternate)
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Sp. Def

Deoxys (Defense)

- Psychic
- Charge Beam

Everybody has Leftovers, Pressure, and Protect for free PP draining recovery. They all have an attack move so they don't fall victims to Taunt. My EVing scheme is always 252/252 (so when I IV check, I don't have to make an effort to remember what Pokemon had what EV spread).

One Pressure-Wall does wonders against a rookie player. SIX Pressure-Walls will be VERY frustrating. Any suggestions on possible team member replacements, or how to make the team more frustrating?

Keep in mind, this team is NOT the best team I have, and it is NOT for competitive battling with Pokemon tiers and stuff like that.

I belive I can fly!
You can give lugia recover or roost.
Also subistute can be helpfull on any of your pokemon.

I think that your team has very little diversity.

I understand that's its going to be a team more focused on stalling or 'annoying' your oponent but still...

and your team is made of 5 special attackers and only 1 physical. This could be a slight problem.
Try to balance it out to AT LEAST 2:4


Also, the fact that you are using a team with legendaries against a rookie is 'cheaeting' in a way.
Not only do you have one, but three
I don't find it that noble. It should be the rookie who is using the ubers

Huh. I didn't notice that the Pressure-Wall team had 5 special attackers. Well... there really aren't many options for a physical attacking Pressure-Wall.

Also, true that I'm using a bunch of Legendaries to frustrate a rookie into submission. But considering that rookies generally use 5 Legendaries and a starter Pokemon, I feel this is reasonable. Even against non-rookies, if I don't suggest a non-Legendary battle, I end up facing a team packed with EV raised, good IVed Legendaries (some of which I helped build). Example: in one battle against a friend, I used: Wynaut (the only non level 100, and this thing was 15), Absol, Rayquaza, Shaymin (Sky), Darkrai, Deoxys (Attack) to take on: Mewtwo, Latios, Rayquaza, Ho-oh, Suicune, Kyogre.

Besides, showing how... frustrating Lugia and Suicune could be might be a good example of properly using Legendaries.

Oh, I also have a non Pressure version of this team, involving Milotic, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Cresselia, and Bronzong.

My favorite 1 man stall army...
Name: "Troll-kiss"
Togekiss - serene grace
Item: king's rock
bold nature
ev: 252 HP / 188 Def / 68 SpD
moveset:
Thunder wave
Air Slash
Roost
Aura Sphere

calculations give a 70% (after a successful thunder wave) chance your opponent will not be able to do anything, as they will either flinch(from air slash) OR be paralyzed.
this is my favorite pokemon to have 2nd in my lineup. one could almost tell my starter is a trickscarf-palarysis azelf...

use this togekiss

@dcco, I totally agree with him on that, I have the exact pokemon lol(Really!) ;D I also think u have too many will-o-wisp pokemon which is a bad thing because there are pokes that can absorb those hit while toxic has alot of immune pokes that are immune to it so please be aware that is it ;D

I already have 3 Para-Flinch guys... and one Para-Infatua-Flinch guy. Paralysis prevents the opponent from attacking 50% of the time, and out of the remaining 50%, they can't attack 60% of the time thanks to Serene Grace Air Slash. 60% of 50% would be 30%. Slap on Infatuation (50% attack rate), that the odds of the opponent attacking (assuming Attract worked) would be reduced to 15%, which SUCKS.

Focus Sash + Endeavor + Speed Priority move? Eh... that seems too... predictable. Though rookies would still fall for that trick, I prefer to use something less predictable but still devastating. Like a level 15 Wynaut with Focus Sash and Destiny Bond. Purpose? Take out the opponent's really strong attacker that only knows attack moves. Shadow Tag prevents escape, so...

Yes Lugia needs roost and as far as deoxys go his moveset should be this
Deoxys (Defense)
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Calm
EVs: 6 HP, 252 Def, 252 Sp. Def
- Protect/knock off/recover
- spikes
- stealth rocks
- toxic/psycho boost/recover
This should help you lay up entry hazards in ubers
