:O_o: It is a team. For double battles. Consisting of 4 Pokemon:

Groudon @ Salac berry
Adamant (+Atk; -SAtk)
252 Atk/ 208 Speed/ 50 HP
-EQ
-Ancientpower (hence it is a double battle)
-SD
-Protect

Exeggutor @ Lum Berry
Mild (+SAtk; -Def)
252 SAtk/ 208 Speed/ 50 Atk
-Solarbeam
-Stun Spore
-Explosion
-Protect

Mewtwo @ Leftovers
Modest (+SAtk; -Atk)
252 SAtk/ 208 Speed. 50 HP
-Psychic
-Flamethrower
-Recover
-Protect

Rayquaza @ Shell Bell
Modest (+SAtk; -Atk)
252 SAtk/ 252 Speed/ 6 HP
-Dragon Claw
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Protect

This was actually my team for the JAA yesterday, where I got to the 1/4 finals :/
It has a lot of flaws which I'll fix in my new team. I'll post that when I finish it.
So, just to know what you think about it.

It'd be nice if you could have Calm Mind for Mewtwo. I personally don't see how recover could help it, in since it most likely won't be taking much hits.

I could tell that common stuff like Ice Beam and Heracross could give you problems. And are you sure it's alright to basically have Groudon as your [I]only physical attacker?

I probably didn't help you at all. <_<;

Yeah I know, Ice Beam did give me some problems. I didn't have CM on Mewtwo because in a Double Battle with Ubers and an 8-minute time limit, I can't set up. Actually, for my new team, I'll take away Rayquaza and get Mewtwo to play it's role:

Mewtwo @ Leftovers
Modest (+SAtk ;-Atk)
252 SAtk/ 208 Speed/ 50 HP
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Flamethrower
-Protect (In double battles) or CM/Recover (in single battles)

Rayquaza's weaknesses were annoying me.
I'll also include Snorlax as a physical sweeper and Lugia as a wall.
Though I can't be bothered to make a team until the release of D/P, when all of my work shall be obliterated by the new battle system :/

Exeggutor: I think that your Exeggutor should lose his/her stun spore, because it's not always accurate and neccessary. But if you have a way that makes stun spore pretty affective, then you should let your Exeggutor keep it.

Mewto: You might want to have Mewto learn another Psychic move, instead of Flamethrower. Mewto doens't gain the extra power bonus of using flame thrower, since he isn't a fire type Pokemon. But if flamethrower has been useful in the past, keep it.

Other than those two, Your team looks very nice and has a nice set of moves. :^^:

If you plan to have Snorlax, you can never go wrong with Curselax. Unless you want to go more offensive and suicidal with a CB lax.


Snorlax @ Leftovers
EVs: 28 HP / 166 Atk / 136 Def / 180 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Body Slam
- EQ
- Shadow Ball

Whatever EVs you want. Just make sure you think you'll have enough Sp. def to make sure you'll take hits when you curse up.


Snorlax @ Choice Band
EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 158 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Body Slam/Return
- Rock Slide/Brick Break
- EQ
- Shadow Ball

Again, you can mess around with the EVs how ever you want. Just make sure it has Max Attack. XP

Which ever you prefer. Earthquake could help a lot in since you seem to have protect on all of your Pokemon. As for Lugia? I don't know, I've never used one before. Dunno if you'll bother training them though, since D/P is going to be coming out sometime soon~

Mewto: You might want to have Mewto learn another Psychic move, instead of Flamethrower. Mewto doens't gain the extra power bonus of using flame thrower, since he isn't a fire type Pokemon. But if flamethrower has been useful in the past, keep it.
Mewtwo's flamethrower + Groudon's Drought = boosted attack flamethrower. That's why he has it on Mewtwo.

I won't have Psychic on Mewtwo because the others are more useful in the uber metagame. A lot of things resist it.

As for the Snorlax, I'll probably use the one I have on NetBattle:

Snorlax [M] @ Leftovers ** A fatty.
Nature: Adamant (+Atk; -SAtk)
EVs: HP 62/Atk 160/Def 136/SAtk 56/SDef 96
-Earthquake
-Shadow Ball
-Body Slam
-Fire Blast (yeah for Skarmory)

I can't seem to get Selfdestruct on it. I'll see if Skarmory will be in the metagame in DP, if it isn't I'll use boom.
