Tyranitar @life Orb
~dragon dance
~shadow claw
~crunch
~eq

M'kay Dragon Dancing T-tar, it's a pretty evil poke and it's earned him a borderline slot next to the ubers. With sandstream, he up's his own special defense by x1.5. Crunch is a good stab move and it's great for those pesky ghosties and psychic types. Eq is good even without stab, but on this set I highly recommend you put Stone Edge over it. As for shadow claw.. it's useless. What's the point of having shadow claw and crunch when they only cover the same pokes?

Now you've got a possible two slots left over. What you pick is up to you, if you plan on going with a trick room team with your pokes, I'd recommend Curse over Dragon Dance. It's always nice to have a pokemon that can survive without trick room out though, cause strategies really don't work as often as they should. As for the other slot.. some people like putting one of the elemential fangs on him. I personally think their junk though. If anything you'd want to consider putting Ice Fang for hitting ground/fire types or Flamethrower (Yes flamethrower) for Skarmory.

Regirock @leftovers
~stone edge
~curse
~hammar arm
~drain punch

Great poke and another borderliner. With 200 base defense and 100 special defense (Boosted to 150 with sandstream) it's near unstoppable. With lunatone's trick room this pokemon will godly. It may sound a bit off, but I recommend you put Iron Defense over Hammer Arm. With a max ev'd plus nature Regirock (good luck findin' one) after a single Iron Defense your defensive stat should be near 999. Then with drain punch and leftovers incharge of healing. Curse although is rather good is again gonna depend on trick room to work. Five turns will only last your so long. So Iron defense over hammer arm, and Explosion over curse (goin' out with a boom is so much fun).

Kabutops @razor Claw
~night slash
~Aqua Jet (since your just changed it)
~x scissor
~stone edge

Z scissor and night slash aren't needed on the same set. Keep Scissor if you think you'll be fighting more psychics and dark types rather than ghosts. The opposite if you want to keep night slash. With a remaining spot, use rapped spin for good team support.

Rampardos @muscle Band
~hammar arm
~zen headbutt
~head smash
~stone edge

Scary poke that will never work without trick room out. Sword Dance on max attack Rap will take you to 900 + attack. The moves really don't matter.. he'll own either way. Course stone edge and Head smash are kina lacking on the same set.

Lunatone @leftovers
~trick room
~future sight
~physic
~hypnosis

I lol'd at future sight. Well seeing how rock pokes are pretty much all physical there aren't make pokes for you like this. You can put Ice Beam on him, but that only takes care of those flying and ground and dragon types really. Most of your team should be able to take those apart already. You can put charge beam to finally have something to fend off water pokes and very impressively Grass Knot should be able to kill other pokemon that benefit from your own sandstorm and such.

Rhyperior @lifeorb
~swords dance
~rock wrecker
~megahorn
~equake

This set could work, I personally like having Avalancheon mine though. Umm I don't believe you need swords dance for him either.


Overall It's a pretty team, but the lack of special attacks will cause you some issues when you face other walls. Also the fact that you've only got trick room on a single pokemon will bring about some problems.

My Cloyster would own this team. XD This set is very weak against water types. Haha. Grass Types will be a problem for you also.

[The Persian Gato]

Yea a cloyster would truly roflstomp this.

[Chumm34]

.....Totally stole half of my old team, man >_>...anyways, I'll give you some tips lol.

Tyrannitar is set, but watch out - your own Trick Room may backfire on you.

Kabutops gets walled terribly by Bronzong, and quite a few others too.

Regirock is set, but I would recommend EQ along with Stone Edge instead of DP. Drain punch is nice, but if you want a recovery move I would suggest Rest with the Lum berry.

For Rampardos, maxing attack EV's is a given. If you want to have the coverage set, use either a Choice Band or a Expert Belt. Since Rampardos is crap in defence either way, it needs to hit hard and get the hell out of there.

Lunatone really is useless. Mediocre, but if you really want a trick room user that bad (which, I must say, defeats the purpose of Dragon Dance), I would suggest something else, like Slowking if you're willing to stick to originality.

Now, I would recommend Lanturn only because 5/6 of your pokes are either 2x weak or 4x weak to water, along with grass. Ah, if you want to counter that (leaf blade is wayyy to common) I would suggest packing a slow pokemon resistant to both attacks that carries attacks super-effective to both types......can't really think of one, but you'd want something:


resistant to grass
resistant to electric

supereffective against grass
supereffective against electric
supereffective against gallade
supereffective against sceptile

Namely, you'd want something like Dragonite, who is resistant against water and grass and can dish out a variety of mixed attacks. For the electric weakness, I would recommend Magnezone, which I believe has a 4x resistance to electric and either neutral or resitant against grass (my memory fails me). In turn, Magnezone can work twice as a Skarmory counter, and with explosion can take out blissey in one hit.

So....to set it up:

Dragonite@w/e
Outrage
fire type attack
ground type attack (not sure if it can learn EQ)
dragon dance / w/e

Basically it serves as a counter to water-types

And a magnezone backing this dragonite up would be nice too. Just some speculation.
