Revised Team.

Candygram!
I did some calculations and with the way I play, I'm not going to be doing much to things I'll be running across a lot. I'm talking about like random battles on PBR. While we imagine this magnifacent(sp.?) land full of Strategy, you all know it's going to be a million Ubers with stupid Mewtwos, Dialgas , and Hacks every everywhere. So, I'm going to use powerful pokes to help.

;130;- Gyarados@Life Orb
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Waterfall
My lead, a DDGyara. You will be seeing Dragon Dance a couple times throughout this set. This will take out Salamences, Garchomps, and the million Groudons, Dialgas, and Charizards. that will be on PBR.

;376;-Metagross@Shuca Berry
Adamant Nature
-Agility
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
-Explosion
I thought about a Million other Pokes for this spot but who could turn down using a Shiny Metagross? An AgiliGross with Explosion because I don't have access to Thunderpunch. Shuca Berry for Survivability.

;121;-Starmie@Leftovers
Modest Nature
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Calm Mind

A rather standard Starmie. Too bad he does not learn Nasty Plot (does he?)

;227;-Skarmory@Shed Shell
Impish Nature
-Drill Peck
-Spikes
-Whirlwind
-Roost

Another standard Skarm. Shed Shell is only there because of Item Clause.

Unfortunately, here I hit a road block. I could not think of any other good members. So suggestions needed. Anything but Blissey.
 
Fortunately, last night I thought of my other team members.

;488;-Cresselia@Leftovers
Calm Nature
-Thunder Wave
-Reflect
-Ice Beam
-Moonlight
A Special Wall Cresselia. Moonlight is its healing move and Ice Beam is there to take care of the Dragons.

;490;-Manaphy
Rash Nature
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Grass Knot
-Tail Glow

Manaphy is one of my favorite new pokes and I really wanted him on an OU Team.

Now I realize how similar Manaphy and Starmie are. So is there anyone who would know who could replace him.
 
If you're looking to replace Starmie, it would probably suit you to go with another Special Sweeper. I personally like Jirachi because you don't have any electric-type moves, and Thunder plus Serene Grace is useful against anything that isn't Milotic or Ground-type. I would probably go:
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Rash (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Thunder
- Psychic
- Rain Dance

Rain Dance may seem like a weird suggestion, but it will help Manaphy a ton with Hydrate as its ability. Plus, it makes Thunder's spotty accuracy way better and more usable.
 
If that's the case, a Leftovers Alakazam with a Rash nature running Recover, Calm Mind, Psychic, and Focus Blast might be a pretty effective way to go. Depending on the threat of Ghost Pokemon, you might be tempted to switch Focus Blast with Shadow Ball. Energy Ball is also good for taking out the Bulky Waters, the majority of which suffer from a Calm Minded Grass special off Alakazam ; if you go with Leftovers, it might even be worth it to take off Recover and replace it with a move you didn't decide on.
 
Nasty Plot would give it some pretty serious damage. The only problem I forsee is a lack of healing moves in terms of support would hurt Porygon-Z pretty badly. Although, if he comes out towards the end when the opponent's team is ragged, he could probably finish them off before the Life Orb put it into danger.
 
dragon dance unnecasary, get a strong dragon attack like dragon pulse
get rid of agility on metagross, teach him a psychic attack
starmie is good just give him another water attack instead of calm mind
no need for whirlwind skarmory can only cause damage with 2 attacks with it give him steel wing.
As for the other pokemon a strong slaking, versitle move pool, might work, and then a fire type

NO. I don't AOA anymore. You have suggested twice in my threads with these suggestions and I tell you no. Dragon Dance causes Gyarados's already scary Stats to become even scarier. Agility lets Metagross become fast enough to sweep. Calm Mind gives Starmie that extra power that lets him take hits and lets him kill. Whirlwind on Skarmory is part of his whole strategy that lets him damage every poke on the team. Slaking is okay but requires a whole lot of strategy. Finally, what would a fire type add? Thanks for trying though.
 
A fire type you could add is moltres or if you dont like him you could build a sucide fire type like infernape.Mine i use in BT and goes like this:

Infernape-White Herb
Adamant Nature-Blaze

Overheat
Shadow Claw
Thunder Punch
Close Combat

He has white herb to use Overheat twice or survive a turn to use Close Combat again.
 
for a special wall how about useing shuckle

Shuckle:Gluttony
Sassy
Leftovers

Power Trick
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Sandstorm/Gyro Ball/Stone Edge

I am also thinking:

;474;-Porygon Z@Life Orb
Modest Nature
-Nasty Plot
-Thunderbolt
-Dark Pulse
-Tri-Attack

Giving him a couple of coverings of things I don't have. Should be pretty good.

I'd go choice specs, and replace nasty plot with Ice Beam. Alakazam owns it with Focus Blast now though. So go with timid to outrun the neutral speed nature Alakazam. It's possible. o.o My shiny alakazam's speed is slower than my porygon-z's and both speed IV's are perfect.

Blissey@leftovers
Modest Nature
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Softboiled
-Aromatherapy/Calm mind

I'm not sure if it'll work but good luck :D

I nearly died reading some of those posts.

Gyarados@lefties
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Taunt

You've got Cressy to take care of Gyara / Chomp so just go with the basic Tauntdos set. Life Orb is overkill in Gyara's case IMO.

Metagross@Choice Band
Adamant Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Pursuit

Pursuit works wonders against glass cannons like Gengar and Azelf on the switch. The other moves should be self-explanatory.

Starmie@lefties
Timid Nature
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- T-Bolt
- Recover

You don't really have a Stealth Rock / Spikes weak so Rapid Spin isn't really that necessary. Starmie would have to go if you were thinking of using Manaphy however.

Manaphy@lefties
Timid Nature
- Tail Glow
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot / Energy Ball

Grass Knot hits heavy water types hard, while Energy Ball deals consistant damage. Your Porygon-Z isn't too bad as a substitute either.

Cresselia@lefties
Calm Nature
- Charge Beam
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

This works better IMO so you can counter Gyara as well as Dragons.

Tyranitar can give your team problems though. Have no fear: Manaphy / Suicune / Torterra / Swampert / Donphan / Milotic are more than capable of countering it with their defenses and ability to hurt it.

Electivire can be an option on your team, seeing as how half your team is bait for anything that uses Electric attacks.
 
Thanks for the help. I was actually thinking of replacing Starmie with Porygon-Z and Cresselia with Blissey. Porygon-Z because he does something different from Starmie and Blissey because I don't have access to a Calm Cresselia. I'm also not a fan of the Choice Items.
