Ok at first glance you'll see this team and think how gay and standard.. but it isn't like all those other boring repetitive platinum teams going around. The idea is to clear way and kill as much as possible so that Cress can come in and sweep at the end. This means that i have to eliminate all those things that could cause Cress harm or resist her only attack psychic.

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Trait: Heatproof
252 HP/ 124 Atk/ 128 SpD
Sassy (+SpD, -Spe)
- Stealth Rock
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Gyro Ball
[i]I've been told numerous times that Bronzong is the best lead in the game and having finally used it i can see why. Set up rocks and try to set up reflect and/or light screen. Once this is done i usually send in ttar to sweep as much out of the way as possible. But this all depends on the opponents move and i have enough coverage to handle any poke easily enough with screens up.

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Trait: Sandstream
252 Atk/ 252 Spe / 6 HP
Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
- Fire Fang
- Earthquake
I find that nothing is able to cause as much early destruction as this guy. Switch him in with screens up, dragon dance accordingly and go for it. His new role is to lure in scizor while getting a a sub and OHKOing back with fire punch, it's worked on numerous occcasions and i no longer have a need for Zapdos. He is also my main Heatran counter since he resists fire blast and then is able to dance up.

Skymin @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
252 Spe/ 252SpA / 6 HP
Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Seed Flare
- Air Slash
- Leech Seed/ Earth Power
He recently replaced dugtrio since i found that Swampert could cause me a lot of pain, especially cursing varieties. He also provides some inital speed to my team and can also sweep a huge amount of pokemon, defeating heracross who would otherwise hurt cress.

Scizor @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
232 HP/ 252 Atk / 24 Spe
Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
- Bullet Punch
- U-Turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit
He is probably the most important in helping clear the way for Cress. He eliminates the biggest threats namely Tyrantar and Gengar. Both of these pokemon get anally raped by him and they are 2 of the most capable pokemon to take out cress. Also counters Celebi who resists Cress' only move.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil
234 Atk/ 220 Spe / 56 Def
Jolly (+Spe, -SpA)
- Roost
- Fire Fang
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
I no longer had need for Zapdos and i found that i was having some trouble taking care of SD Lucario and Heracross. This guy covers both of those weaknesses and also give me an efficient way of dealing with threats like Salamence and the like. The massive speed takes many pokemon by surprise and i've had him sweep through a lot of other pokemon.

Cresselia @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpA
Bold (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Psychic
Bulky as hell, and the heart and sole of the team. Once all threats are eliminated she comes in and has no trouble whatsoever setting up thanks to the enourmous defences its packing. Sleep Talk and Rest let it work like Crocune and so attempts to cripple her status are all in vain. I also find her to be my best method of countering Machamp, Infernape and other fighting pokemon. And revealing it early in the game makes the opponent think it doesn't pack calm mind. I've swept many a team with this pokemon and combined with all the others it works wonders.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major threats to Cress: Heatran - Countered by the combination of Tyranitar and Skymin since like 99% of trans are scarfed. Initially switch in Tar on it and if it happens to use Earth power switch in Skymin.
Scizor - Zapdos :D
Tyranitar - Scizor :D
Heracross - Never really used but with prediction easily stopped by Zappy
Weavile - Bronzong or Scizor :D
