I commented on your last question, and am back to say it's much better.

I see how you switched to Hippowdon for your starting to lay off that entry hazard, and that's great, but the only thing I can think of is that your Feraligatr is NOT going to like that Sandstorm in it's face with Life Orb, as you're going to lose almost 20% of your health per turn, so if you're facing another sweeper and fail to make a 2KO, you're dead as the opponent should at least take off 70%, even if it uses the first turn to set up and uses a not effective move (special mention to the bulky Glaceon, who will set up either with Hail & Blizzard, giving it perfect accuracy while boosting Blizzard to 315 power and activating Snow Cloak, or will use Fake Tears Ice Beam, racking up a OHKO even without being very effective). I would switch Life Orb with Leftovers, and trust that Dragon Dance will take care of it. Another optional thing to change would be changing Ice Punch to Return and Earthquake to Taunt, making a makeshift Tauntarados, if you will. Waterfall and Return make great synergy, only resisted by Empoleon and Shedinja, while Taunt is used to keep the likes of Weezing, Skarmory, or Forretress from setting up, Hazing, or Burning you, halving attack. I should actually say, it's CRUCIAL (sorry for all the capitals) that it has taunt, because if you're burned, it's no use for the team and is as good as dead.

I see you haven't changed your Umbreon to a Look Passer, and it will SERIOUSLY help with getting your Dragonite and Feraligatr to set up and it will put your team at a SUPREME advantage as the opponent can't switch to a counter, keeping you at type advantage the whole time. Either way, since you already breeded for a great umbreon, may as well take the Curse Set.

I've been thinking about Dragonite, and I will say you MUST switch Stone Edge to Rock Slide. It will help with a hefty 30% flinch rate, letting you attack twice, as well as having better PP, so you're not being drained by Suicune. You didn't change Outrage to Dragon Claw, I see, which is more reliable, but I think the best thing to change Outrage to would be Thunder Wave. Strange, I know, but think about it. With a 50% full paralysis rate, you can easily set up 2 Dragon Dances, and paired with Rock Slide, it will give you a 65% non-attack chance, as well as crippling the pokemon in the off chance that Dragonite can't handle it. It's really your choice, so you can decide what's best. The need for Outrage is diminished somewhat now that you have a DDing Feraligatr with Ice Punch, but if you want, it provides STAB.

No comment on Spiritomb, but you're going to have a big problem with Blissey, seeing as when your Umbreon's dead, it's toast as well. Since both are more inclined towards Sp. Def, and Blissey is far better at stalling, I suggest switching Umbreon to a Spiker. Since you really don't need a P-Hazer, I would use Forretress as he can act as a Rapid Spinner, protecting those bulkies, especially Spiritomb, Bliisey, and Feraligatr if you choose to stay with Life Orb. Use the set: Spikes, Rapid Spin, Gyro Ball, Zap Cannon. Since it would be unwise to Explode this guy because of making Blissey at an extreme disadvantage, I switched it with Zap Cannon to get Gyarados, as you may have a little bit of a problem with it, seeing as there's not Breloom with Thunder Punch on your team (nor am I asking for one). Shaky accuracy, yes, but there is a perfect chance of paralysis.

You're getting there! Keep it up! 9.1/10

EDIT: Oh and someone made some comment about how Hippowdon would be walled by all flyers and levitators in existance. I was the one that made that set for you, and don't worry, the Stealth Rock Support with Roar should take care of scaring most of them away, save Skarmory and Claydol. Skarmory will fall to Spiritomb if you trick that Choice Band on it, then Wisp, then lend to Blissey. Claydol is walled by Blissey and can't handle all the Seismic Tosses thrown at it, and if your Blissey's dead, it can't kill that Spiritomb, and will most likely switch, as it can't Rapid Spin, use Psychic, and Spiritomb's defenses are great enough to survive 4 HP Grasses or Ices. Just watch out if it carries Toxic and your Blissey's down.

Also, the same person said to change Band to Scarf, and I disagree. You can still use the Choice Band if you don't want to trick it, because Spiritomb still has a good attacking stat for a wall! And as I said before, if you trick it onto a physical sweeper switching in, you can always survive the next attack to Wisp him and then switch to Hippowdon. That's what he's for, and that's why I recommended him.

BTW: Even if Stealth Rock isn't great enough for you with Hippowdon when paired with Roar, Stone Edge won't do any better. The only flyers or levitators you should be afraid of is those two I mentioned and a Facade Swellow, and all those are handled by Spiritomb, Dragonite, and Feraligatr. If you find one of those pokemon facing your Hippowdon, just roar it away!

I agree with what the guy said with a defensive Bronzong, though. I'm afraid it may set up Reflect while you switch, and it will just sit there stalling you. Fortunately, you should be able to easily set up with Feraligatr or Dragonite, and it should be an easy kill when the Reflect wears off. Worse case, it explodes before you attack. If that isn't enough for you, take outrage off for Fire Punch instead.

You're starting to get great team synergy, and my edit proves that. A few more toss ups and you may have yourself a perfect team!...Show more

There Pretty Standard.
Rating: 8.5/10
Are The Iv Spreads Good? That Could Change The Outcome Of Any Battle:

Optional Changes:
Hippowdon Is Walled By Every Flyer & Levitator In Existence.
You Can Drop Roar For Stone Edge But That Will Leave You More Vulnerable To Setups Since You Won't Have A Good Phaser. But Anyway, You'll Blow Them Away Or Switch After Setting Your SR If Your Matchup Isn't Good.

Spiritomb: You Can Give It A Scarf So That Your Target Won't Benefit From The Attack Boost That CB Might Give Them If They Have Decent Attack Plus A Powerful Physical Attack. CB Is Okay Since Your Spiritomb Variant Is Made To Dish Out As Much Damage As Possible Early In The Match And Cripple Walls And Tanks With Trick

Umbreon: Your Umbreon Can Be Easily Set Up Bait You Might Want To Drop Protect For Toxic To Do Passive Damage But You'll Lose The Free Lefty's Recovery And Some Wish Stall

I Also See That Your Team Has Problems Taking Out Physically Defensive Bronzong It Can Status Your Two Sweepers.And If It Has Rest You'll Have Fewer Options Heracross Can Break Your Team If You Lack Hippo, And Nite Guts Variants Can Come On A Predicted Will-O-Wisp And Cause Havoc A Pokemon Like Houndoom Or Scarf Arcanine Can Eliminate Zong And Cross Without Too Many Problems. You Might Want To Put A Revenge Killer. Since All Your Pokemon But Spirit (Shadow Sneak) Can Be Easily Outspeeded....Show more

I don't know what version you have but pretty good team you could beat the elite 4 three times in a row with those Pokemon awesome so cool But Dragon Dance all I herd of was Feather Dance for my Pidgeot. But that is and sounds like a really and I mean really strong team hope you beat the elite 4 I had a major melt down when I lost twice but you will WIN I mean seriously you will trust me. Put the elite 4 in the ground they won't want to battle you anymore here's the elite 4= XD...Show more
