Hmm maybe replacing Machamp with Sceptile might be good.

[randomcouchpotato]

i need a ground immunity though

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

You can either use Salamance or Dragonite since they both are strong and fast.

[randomcouchpotato]

No keep Dusknoir. He is a great pokemon to have on your team.

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Either how go with Salamance instead of Machamp. Salamance or Mixmence is definitly a great replacement for Machamp.

[randomcouchpotato]

why would you put a life orb on a bulky calm mind pokemon he will be taking hits and life orb just waste all the effort you put into getting those CM's up especially if you are in sand you are losing 16% an attack and 6% a calm mind so you aren't helping anyone here

shadow punch/Earthquake/shadow sneak

if we are gonna run adamant dusknior with gravity that is fine but make lets make sure bases are covered Gravity dnyamicpunch is good. but shadow punch i think Shadow sneak is better because you dont have to take unneeded damage plus you can rock lucarios who have a sd up and are on thier last leg and EQ hits grounded zapdos when the gravity gets turned up so yea once again he is better off with leftovers. and he needs ice punch for dragons

i need will-o-wisp to weaken physical attackers as stated in a previous post but ill give shadow sneak a try

anyway, i thought this would be better than gyarados

Don't use brave it lowers speed bro you

umm. And I don't think dusknor not being a set will be wisping anything successfully as most people predict wisp and you can't efford to give away a free swich as your duskinors only bulk Is in the form of hp evs you need to strike and do it fast you can't afford to be wildly wisping and risking giving off flash fires but if you'd like go for it

[randomcouchpotato]

good point, it just had been suggested earlier that i put that on but ill change it

what nature would you suggest for dragonite

[Killa kid]

Depends on what you want him for dragon dancer/ mixed attacker/ or bulky dragon dance pick and I'll give you a nature and a set

[randomcouchpotato]

lol, i forgot the moves, ill post them in that other post, that was a subpuncher dragonite, now that ive gone over the d/p/pt strategies, i kinda like the mixnite

Btw Sceptile isn't that good for OU usage atm. Due to the majority of Scizor, Heatran, Latias, Metagross, Infernape, Blissey, Skarmory, Forretress, Gengar (apparantly) being able to resist some of it's movesets (depending on what it is using) and counter it, it has less uses in OU. Err this is a bit sloppy, I'll explain it better later if you guys want.

Btw Hidden Power-Fire beats Scizor, Forretress, and hurts Skarmory and Metagross (unfortunatly they can 1HKO it with any move that isn't not very effective) See the thing is Scizor can Bullet Punch for about 82%+.

I think you should go with your Celebi idea, and also consider using Hidden Power-Fire or Earth Power somewere on there for Scizor and Forretress (other things aren't generally hurt enough to be 2-3HKO'd if it's a x2 super effective move) or Earth Power Heatran, Lucario, Metagross, and Infernape (Takes more from Psychic...)

[randomcouchpotato]

i still have my infernape so im good for steel types, it still has earthquake on it so it should be good for taking care of heatran, and who should celebi be in place instead of?

[Killa kid]

Well this isn't completly true mixed secptile is amazing he can run an sd hp fire secptile with eq dragon claw and hp fire only thing he miss out on is a little stabb

or just all out jolly since he has infernape for steel checking anyway

so it would be sword dance, dragon claw, leaf blade/ x-siczzor, earthquake
