Why not? If so, I'll switch him to something.

Yeah I noticed the Foretress is only a sub lead. I also really would like to see a playable Rhyperior. I love that thing.

Oh, good. I thought you didn't notice.

I'm a girl then.[/SARCASM]

I'm an Accuracy fanboy, and like the flinch. Waterfall has good power as well.
252 in speed rather attack because Gyarados is a monster to begin with, and I have Dragon Dance Backing me up. Wanted some more HP for survivability as well.

I do need help with a few items I have though.

Yanmega @Focus Sash
Nature: Modest
Ability: Speed Boost
EV's: 252Sp.Atk/252Spd/4Hp
~Movepool:
Protect
HP[Fire]
Bug Buzz
Air Slash
Almost standard Yanmega lead. Protect for Speed Boost; Bug Buzz & Air Slash for STAB; HP[Fire] instead of Ice for leads like Bronzong, Weavile, Magnezone, Foretress, etc. which have become more popular.


Scizor @Focus Sash/Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Technician
EV's: 228Atk/228Spe/52Hp That speed doesn't really help much, use 216 Atk and redistribute your speed/HP
~Movepool:
Bullet Punch
Superpower
Pursuit
Swords Dance
Creozor; Haven't seen anything like this on him, so unless it's already taken, I claim its set and copyright name. I think it has the potential to become one of the standard Scizor sets in Platinum.
No U-turn due to lack of speed; Bullet Punch for first strike and STAB; Pursuit > Night Slash because I have Technician which makes this attack more beneficial; Swords Dance is the reason why I don't have 252 EV's in Attack. Super Power rids Heatran


Blissey @Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability: Serene Grace
EV's: 148Hp/108Sp.Atk/252Def
~Movepool:
Calm Mind/Stealth Rocks
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Softboiled
CM/SRBliss. Not sure which to choose. I'm thinking Stealth Rocks. T.Bolt + Ice Beam for ultimate coverage; Softboiled to heal. Pretty standard. Consider Flamethrower for Scizor.


Gyarados @Expert Belt(?) Life Orb/Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Intimidate
EV's: 142Atk/252Spd/116Hp 252 Atk/184 Spe/72 HP This is DD Gyara.
~Movepool:
Waterfall
Dragon Dance
Ice Fang
Earthquake
DDGyara, I believe. Correct some stuff if I'm wrong on it(not sure what he looks like).
Waterfall > Aqua Tail because I love accuracy; Dragon Dance explanitory; Ice Fang for Dragons; Earthquake for coverage.


Infernape @Life Orb
Nature: Naive
Ability: Blaze
EV's: 252SpA/232Spe/24Atk
~Movepool:
Close Combat
Grass Knot
Flamethrower
U-turn/Thunderpunch
Mix Ape. Life Orb for more juice in my attacks. Close Combat has STAB and *****; Flamethrower > Fire Blast for accuracy; Grass Knot for Bulky waters and Rhyperior; I'm thinking Thunderpunch > U-Turn for more coverage and Gyarados.


Dusknoir @ ? (need help) Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability: Pressure
EV's: 252Hp/8Atk/125Def/125Sp.Def That 8 Atk isn't going help you 2-3hko anything.
~Movepool:
Pain Split
Shadow Sneak
Ice Punch
Will-o-Wisp
My Staller. EV's for survivability; Pain Split to recover; Shadow Sneak for STAB and first strike; Ice Punch for Dragons; Will-o-Wisp for status effect. Pretty basic. Make this into a defensive wall you can pair with Blissey.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extras:

Forretress @Macho Brace
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Sturdy
EV's: 252Hp/176Def/80Atk
~Movepool:
Gyro Ball
Earthquake
Spikes
Stealth Rocks
Set up. EV spread is one I really like. Great lead. Until you get Taunted


Weavile @Focus Sash(?)
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Pressure
EV's: 252Atk/252Spd/6Hp
~Movepool:
Ice Punch
Night Slash
Brick Break
Pursuit(?) Swords Dance - This makes your Focus Sash useful.
Weavile. I've never used him before, so, he's new to me.

I prefer metalkid's damage calculator: http://www.metalkid.info/Pokemon/OnlineProgram/Calculators/DamageDP.aspx

All you do is choose the attacking Pokemon, ability, items, IVs(although we should always assume 31), EVs, attack stage(growth, growl, tail whip and all that), attack, type, power, conditions, weather, etc.
