Venusaur @ Choice Scarf
Timid Nature
Overgrow
EV: 56 Hp, 252 Special Attack, 200 Speed
~Sleep Powder
~Leaf Storm
~HP Ice/Sludge Bomb (HP if I get lucky like always)
~Earthquake

My lead, venusaur with a choice scarf gets respectable speed, and Leaf Storm is no big deal since this is more of a hit-and-run venusaur. Sleep Powder so that if the other lead pokemon is something that can beat me, i can outspeed him and put him to sleep, then switch out to a counter.

Electivire @ Expert Belt
Adamant Nature
Motor Drive
EV: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
~ThunderPunch
~Ice Punch
~Cross Chop
~Earthquake

Everyone knows this Electivire set. Super effective hits powered up by the expert belt. If i'm lucky i can switch him in on an electric attack get some Motor Drive boost to his decent but not wonderful speed.

Gyarados @ Life Orb
Adamanant Nature
Intimidate
EV: 252 Attack, 184 Speed, 72 HP
~Dragon Dance
~Earthquake
~Ice Fang
~Waterfall

Standard DD Gyara, He is basically going to be used to draw some attacks over to Electivire, but also he hits hard and can sustain himself without any worries. He has amazing type coverage with this set, and he can get pretty speedy with DD.

Magmortar @ Choice Specs
Modest Nature
Flame Body
EV: 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 6HP
~Flamethrower
~Thunderbolt
~Focus Blast
~HP Ice/Psychic

Psychic doesn't have good coverage, and its just a decently powered placeholder if I don't get HP Ice. His speed is kinda weak but, I think he will be very good in the long run.

Clefable @ Leftovers
Calm Nature
Magic Guard
EV: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Special Attack
~Reflect
~Softboiled
~Seismic Toss
~Thunder Wave

The UU Blissey, I like it alot more. It has good versatility, and after a while this set will really wear opponents down.

Donphan @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
Sturdy
EV: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Attack
~Rapid Spin
~Stealth Rock
~Ice Shard
~Earthquake

A physical waller. Donphan can bypass his weak speed with ice shard, or if he is battling a defensive pokemon ignore it and hit with EQ for a powerful STAB running off of 120 base attack. Sets up Stealth Rock and destorys my opponents.
You might want to put Taunt on Gyara to prevent opponents Whirl/Roaring Gyara and all of those DD's away.

Apart from that, IMO, everything else is perfect. Wink

Though, I must say, Electivire may look good, but after a while of me using it, I realised it had to go. Definately overrated. However, I hope it works well for you. 001_smile
^ Yeah I had that issue with electivire before, but I'm hoping that with Gyarados he can get Motor Drive boosts more often than not.

I totally agree with Willz on this one.

Taunt Gyara really throws me off my game, especially when I need a Pokemon to set up Spikes/Rocks/Weather.

After trying Electivire on Shoddy a bit, I realized I really didn't like it much. I like your strategy, though, it looks good if you suspect Electric types.

Perfect, otherwise.
Yep, Taunt is Def. goin on gyarados. I think aslong as Gyarados is there, then electivire might get some Motor Drive boosts and increase his usefulness some.
