-I know Groudon and Kyogre's abilities conflict with each other, however, I never plan on sending them out.
- I cannot really decide what to use for 6th slot, I was think of using Wobbuffet.....
- I know this contains many ubers, but I bet everyone else will do the same, so why not?

No one's gonna use Gengar at this thing, go EQ. You're gonna find more Rocks/Steels than Ghosts IMO.

Groudon @ Chesto Berry

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rest
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Sword Dance / Bulk Up
Brick Break sucks. I'm gonna assume there's a retarded item clause at this thing. Snorlax has the best HP of this group so lefties will do him best IMO. Just got Chesto on this Groudon. Use Bulk Up if you can't get Sword Dance =/

Item Clause sucks, go play Colo and get a bunch of stat up berries.

You never plan to send out Groudon or Kyogre? =/

Solid Rayquaza counter mebbe? Or just get Ninjask and Sub-Protect stall then BP to Groudon who promptly unleashes a can of whoop-***?

Sounds about likely.

King's rock doesn't work on moves that already have a secondary effect. Ice Beam Freezes, and Psychic lowers S.Def. Use something else.

What about Psychics? Like Mewtwo and Latios.

How else will I counter the Umbreons and destroys Blisseys? And yes, there IS a item clause in JAA.

never at the same time.

They seem like good suggestions to me.

Are you really sure? I never saw that before.

Return = Base Power 102*1.5 = 153
Super effective Shadow Ball = Base Power 80*2 = 160
Not Very Effective Return = Base Power 102*1.5/2 = 76.5
Syper effective Earthquake = Base Power 100*2 = 200

Earthquake is move valuable IMO, being walled by any old Rock or Steel type for the loss.

Standard STAB Earthquake = Base 100*1.5 = 150
Super Effective Brick Break = 75*2 = 150

Again, basic maths comes into effect, Brick Break is worthless on Ground types and tends to be worthless on most pokes who won't get STAB from it.

If this is a 2v2 team state it now please. 2v2 play is MUCH different to 1v1.

Yes it's true, I forgot to mention that also. King's Rock adds the flinch secondary effect to moves without a secondary effect, so on that Mewtwo King's Rock does nothing.

Yes it's a 2vs2 team because Journey Accross America is a 2vs2 tournament.
