The old team of mine that got me on smogon's leaderboard started getting ***** by Rotoms and Metagross, so I made a few adjustments to it... way back when. Given the fact this team has been my main team for awhile, it's "pre-HS/SS".
I never had it rated, nor have I tried to see how well it fairs in consistent rated matches, so I thought I'd put it up now. I was going to post this on smogon, for obvious reasons, but I'm far too lazy at the moment to come up with the reasoning behind the choice of each pokemon/moveset.
