Klefki? Carbink? Say hi to my Mega Garchomp Earthquake guys. Oh, and your Moonblasts do nothing because you guys have shitty Sp.Atk lol.

stealth rock and light screen early stall while you waste your attacks on carbink and then I properly switch into lapras which stab ice beams your fucking garchomp and then proceeds to teabag the rest of your team and then it gets swept by blazing aura hackng his mamoswine into the game

Practically everything outspeeds Magnezone, it makes me weep.

Could get it to carry a Balloon, if I can find one of those.

TBH looking at the typing of my Pokemon, Rotom-W would probably be a decent replacement for Magnezone, given the Metagross I already have. :P

Flygon, Metagross, Gardevoir, Rotom-W, Blaziken and Roserade/Gengar? Decent type coverage, though I'm still not sure which one I'd start with. Either Rotom with Volt Switch to fight off the more obvious threats, or Metagross with its obscene attack stat and fairly decent Gen VI typing?

Gengar instead of Roserade unless you desperately want a Pokemon who knows Spikes/Toxic Spikes. Sure, use Rotom-W, makes it more interesting anyway.
Wait you have Blaziken? KILL IT, KILL IT NOW!!!!!!!! no offence
Start Blaziken and 9/10 times you'll win or people will ragequit. the 1/10 times someone starts with something like Talonflame? Run like the wind.

Hang on, Blaziken's been banned in the OU tier. I haven't been following the metagame properly, just been playing the game :P It's a bit sad - Torchic was my starter back when I first played Pokemon back in Generation III, and I've made a conscious effort to use it in games since.

That said, I need a decent Fire type, and I need Flying anyhow, so using a Talonflame instead of a Blaziken might actually be a decent idea. :P It helps that I have a Level 90-ish Talonflame sitting around too, might do that.

Hence why I wanted it gone, it was banned in OU last gen as well.

Tell you that I'll put my OU team up for you and see how many other elements you want from it :p
Breloom, Rotom-W, Alakazam, Talonflame, Togekiss, Mamoswine.

Besides Volt Switch what does your Rotom have and what does your Talonflame have move-wise?

Blaziken is Uber on Smogon due to Speed Boost, but on Wifi, a lot of people have it. That's why I have a Talonflame. Regardless, hopefully Smogon will make Blaze Blaziken legal, but then he'll drop into RU or NU...

That's the problem, they can't ban one specific ability on a Pokemon, the Pokemon itself has to be in one tier or another with all of its abilities. Even if it was legal Blaze Blaziken would be UU at worst, mainly because every Baton Pass team in existence would use it as the end Pokemon.

120 Attack isn't that good anymore, especially if he has only base 80 speed.

Which is pretty amazing. My only regret is that I don't have BW2 for the move tutors, or a decent sneaky pebbles Hippowdon. I still have my legends though, which is what I wanted anyway.

I've only really been heavily invested in Pokemon Yellow.

I've played through it several times in the past to the point where I can do relatively fast single-day playthroughs from beginning to end...

My strategy is somewhat unusual in that I try to have a small team of only four or so Pokemon with access to Ice, Psychic, Water, and Electricity attacks; I find that this works really well against the Elite Four (I know the more conventional approach is to have Grass or Fire in the mix but I've always found it less effective).

My favorite Pokemon is indisputably Gengar (unfortunately, it sucks that he can only be acquired through trade) and so I usually have to settle for Haunter.

I know very little about the new Pokemon or the newer games...
