The Togekiss suggestion is interesting, and I'm considering it. However, I'm not sure if it's necessary to have two Wish-users on my team. I might go with Roost instead, or I may use this set and totally change Jirachi's. Thanks for the suggestions by the way. Also, I don't think I'm THAT...

I've been playing around with this team for ages, but just recently I started trying to climb the ladder with it, as I noticed it was starting to outperform my supposedly "competitive" teams. After getting to 1401 (which, with my patience, is all that I'm going to ever shoot for) I've decided...

Have you considered Clefable? I notice you picked all your pokemon because they will not take damage from sandstorm, and her Magic Guard gives her that ability as well. One of my personal favourite sets, which causes many switches and much ragequitting is the T-Wave/Encore set on Smogon. Tweak...

I'm sorry, but Mismagius is a very poor switch-in for Ambipom leads, as Ambi outspeeds and can KO with Shadow Claw, or do heavy damage with pursuit. Cradily is his best switch, but then there is the risk of Taunt and switching or U-Turning to something that can set up.

My first problem with this team is that it's technically an OU team, and therefore in the wrong forum. Since Lanturn and Milotic both function much better in the UU environment, I would recommend dropping Swampert for something else. Most monotype tournaments allow for the use of a wild card...

What about a different-natured Miltank? As I mentioned before, you gain 5 more attack without losing any defense. Also, I would encourage trying Encore over Leech Seed, as it's such a powerful move.

Cherno: Miltank can hit ghosts with Fighting moves, so there's no reason to switch to Seismic Toss. Speaking of Miltank, I know you love that she has an Adamant nature, but you can get the same defense and a higher attack by having an Impish nature and moving 104 EVs to attack instead of...

You have no pokemon who are weak to stealth rock, and yet you have two rapid spinners. You have no boosting sweepers, which means you have no ability to put pressure on stall. More importantly, I don't know what your strategy is. Strategy is important. A lot of people start their RMT by saying...

All of my suggestions were suggestions only; however, as another poster said, a team made specifically to counter threats with no threats of its own is not a good mentality to have.

Alright, I've looked your team over and here are my thoughts: I can see you're going to have significant problems with status and entry hazards. 5/6 of your pokemon are vulnerable to Thunder Wave, and all but Scizor are absolutely crushed by Toxic; Vaporeon cannot handle toxic spikes while...

I'll read and rate if you please format it so it's a little easier to read. A few more spaces and some bolding would do wonders. You also neglected to provide Rotom's EVs.

I don't know how much the toxic spikes are doing for you, especially since you will be needing paralysis for Nidoking to achieve any sort of sweep. If a fast pokemon is poisoned instead, you've got trouble. I don't see any sort of stall aspect of this team, so I don't see the point of having the...

I can see Taunt/U-turn Gliscor taking this team for a ride. I'd replace Hippowdon's Roar with Ice Fang so he can take out Gliscor and so he's not helpless against levitating/flying taunt leads. You don't need roar on Hippowdon anyway, since you have Whirlwind on Skarmory. Personally, I am in...

First of all, don't Fake-out Alakazam, because then you just lost your lead. Second, I don't understand the need for a spinner on a team with no weakness to stealth rocks. I would recommend replacing him with a defensive Uxie, who gives you a ground immunity, stealth rocks, and the ability to...

If you're keeping Gliscor, you might want to consider trying U-turn on him in place of Toxic. You'll probably have rocks up, and the ability to U-turn between Gliscor, Flygon and Scizor, especially when combined with Taunt, will cause a lot of unnecessary switches on your opponent's part and...

I don't like Life Orb Gyarados without recovery on a team with no spinner, no wish support, and a Tyranitar lead. It seems that your team doesn't have a lot of actual synergy; almost like you just slapped together a lot of overused pokemon hoping a good team would come out of it. I'd switch...

You're very weak to a Smeargle lead: it's a guaranteed spore for one of your pokemon, and with no sleep talker he'll have at least one turn to set up a substitute, put up spikes, belly drum, or any of the other host of things Smeargle loves. I would propose changing your Dragonite's item for a...

I'm not sure if you're correct about Metagross always using Stealth Rocks first. I always bullet punch the Ninjask I see, and sometimes I end up KOing it without the speed boost ever being passed. Taunt DOES go through substitutes, and there's no way you've covered all of the leads you're weak...

Try to talk about things which each team member has trouble dealing with, or moves you are not quite sure about. Some people can write several paragraphs for each pokemon in their team, so a few more lines on each is not much of a stretch. Now for your team: Jirachi: I would suggest changing...

I notice you don't have a status absorber (except for sleep, which Honchcrow can take care of); you could try changing your Arcanine's set to a sleep talk set with Intimidate and Roar, allowing him to stop boosting physical sweepers and giving your team a way to counter toxic.
