Alakazam (F) @ Przcureberry (Miracle Berry if I can get it)
Fire Punch
Barrier
Psychic
Recover

Basic open-and-fire strategy, screwed against Smeargles unless I pull off that MiracleBerry. Female just because the maleness doesn't matter. Good anti-spikage, too. (SE vs. Forry and Qwilfish)

not bad, at least you have barrier over Reflect, definately go for Miracleberry. 5/5

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Body Slam
Earthquake
Curse
Rest

A curselax. Need I say more?

yes you need to, n/m I will say it for you, MORE!!!!! 5/5

Tyranitar @ Quick Claw / Lefties
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Crunch
Roar

Can someone prove/disprove that a Quick Claw will/can make Roar go first? Because that's the only issue I have with the Quick Claw.

To MY knowledge I think QC doesn't work on Roar because my t-tar had a QC and for a month he NEVER got roar to go first. Other than that good, but you might want to drop roar for Fire Blast to take out grass and Skarmory, seeing as you have a Hazer. other than that good 4/5

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Wing Attack
Haze
Surf
Thunderbolt

My basic Hazing Draggy, he's been a staple on my teams since around feb-march, and I still love 'em.

a good moveset dragonite is a happy dragonite, lets see...you cover rock, ground, fire, flying, water, grass, bug and fighting, nice... 5/5

Typhlosion @ Leftovers/Focus Band
Flamethrower (thinking fire blast,see below)
Sunny Day
Earthquake
Thunderpunch

Okay, because of Typhlo's terrible survivability, I was seriously thinking about doing Fire Blast and taking a risk on it. He needs to hit everything he fires, but the added 45 or so Base Power (after STAB) would be really nice, too. Any input on this one would help-and don't tell me to breed for another one, this son of a gun has a 15 special DV, and I'm not gonna risk losing it. Also, directly because of that low survivability, I was thinking of the Focus Band as a hold item-typhlo's fast enough to pull it off.

wow......ok Typlosion Isn't the BEST or the WORST but...If you have a 15 SP DV go with Flamethrower because it wont miss and it has a max SP DV so it wont big a HUGE difference in damage. This guy is SCREWED versus an aerodactyl.

Lanturn (F) @ Leftovers
Surf
Thunderbolt
Light Screen
Thunder Wave

It's an NYC PKMN Center Lanturn. DVs aren't great, but hey, what can I do? The LS is really, really helpful. Not much to say, if I can force a switch w/ T-wave and do a paralyzation thru the team, it's easy sweepage.

Consider Confuse Ray over Light Screen to wreak havoc, If the opponent is Confused and Paralyzed they have a 40% chance to attack you so they WILL switch, then continue as normally planned. Light Screen doesn't work they will just send out a pokemon that isn't weak to Lanturn and Earthquake it, like a Snorlax.

I only worry about 2 things with this team, and someone can tell me if my worries are founded:

1) A status-change team w/ a lot of Paralyzers, because of my lack of Heal Bell. I'll play under Sleep Clause, so a smeargle or whatever doesn't worry me THAT much.

2) Another Lax, because of the who-cursed-first issue; I can undo the curses, but I think I might have a hard time taking the other Lax out.

Well, input is appreciated!

Its not like its balanced Perfectly, more like you are Twirling plates on sticks and one small movement could bring it all crashing down, but you seem to be a great plate twirler *yay*

Thanks!

No complaints here...go with miracleberry 5/5

W00t 5/5

Rock Slide

Roar

Not to sure about quick claw....you may want to drop rockslide for ancientpower or a mintyrest......give it leftovers 4/5

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Wing Attack
Haze
Surf
Thunderbolt

My basic Hazing Draggy, he's been a staple on my teams since around feb-march, and I still love 'em.

Good...drop thunderbolt for rest and give it mintberry....a mintyrest draggy are hell to kill 4/5

Good moveset...keep flamethrower and put focusband on it, it's saved a couple times in the past. 4/5
