ROCKET HIPPO! FIGHTING BAD GUYS! CAUSING DAMAGES!
Title is a joke, by the way.
This thread has a plot twist.
This team has helped me gross over 100 points on the Smogon Server's Ladder (1136 to 1268). I just posted it to see what you guys think and to have your final thoughts.
This team is to be used on ShoddyBattle, by the way.
At a Glance:
Suicide Pills increase to $40 per pill
Azelf @ Choice Scarf
Naive
EVs: 4 HP, 32 Attack, 252 SpA, 220 Speed
~ Trick
~ Psychic
~ Flamethrower
~ U-Turn
The EVs gives off a Lefties number, just in case I get Lefties from trick. Azelf can U-Turn out of an undesirable lead / other Suicide leads to break their Sashes or get out of Tyranitar's way, doing a minimum of 29% in the midst of doing so. The Speed is enough to outspeed Timid Scarfgar. Flamethrower was chosen over Fire Blast for being a slightly more reliable move (10 more PP and 15 higher acc gives off ~800 more total damage than Fire Blast).

Statacune
Suicune @ Leftovers
Calm
EVs: 236 HP, 200 Defense, 52 SpA, 22 SpD
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk
Suicune here is a mixed wall with a bias towards Defense. It has Ice Beam to deal with enormous swarm of dragons, and Surf for STAB. Rest and Sleep Talk are to absorb status and provide rapid healing. 236 HP EVs gives maximum lefties recovery.

Tots in the oven
Rotom-Heat Form @ Leftovers
Bold
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 SpA
~ Overheat
~ Charge Beam
~ Shadow Ball
~ Will-o-Wisp
Charge Beam can negate the nasty side affect of Overheat, with STAB, the last move can cripple potential physical sweeping threats. This set gets 3HKOed by a +1 non LO Gyarados' Waterfall, and 2HKOs back with an unboosted Charge Beam. If the foe is Burned, this set can still be 3HKOed by a LO variant. This set gets about ~8HKOed by a LO Scizor's Bullet Punch. This set OHKOes a standard Scizor with Overheat.

Haxarachi
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Hasty
EVs: 172 HP, 42 Attack, 24 Defense, 220 Speed, 52 SpA
~ Wish
~ HP Fighting
~ Psychic
~ Iron Head
The title of the set says it all. Iron Head reaches 60% flinch rate, and has 120 base power thanks to STAB. Wish is used the same way as for Umbreon. The moves get great coverage, and hit all but Water/Psychics (Starmie mainly) for neutral. The EVs give 319 Speed, which outspeeds Neutral nature base 100s with 76 or less EVs in Speed. I don't remember why I chose that set honestly, I made this team back in '08, on my birthday.
I will not change this Pokemon, or the concept.

Rhy r u so superior?
Rhyperior @ Leftovers
Impish & Solid Rock
EVs: 180 HP, 78 Attack, 252 Defense
~ Stealth Rock
~ Stone Edge
~ Megahorn
~ Earthquake
Poor racial jokes aside, how ironic is it that only one Pokemon on my team has EQ? Anyways, after crippling something with Trick, I send this bad boy out based on what move the foe is locked into. If Rhy here can take the hit, he comes in and sets up Rocks while the foe switches, brutally maiming the foe's team. IIRC, which I probably don't, the EVs are designed to take a +1 Neutral 252 Gyara's Waterfall, and OHKO it with Stone Edge after SR, or something.

ReGGigas
Regigigas @ Leftovers
Careful
EVs: 220 HP, 16 Attack, 76 Defense, 196 SpD
~ Substitute
~ Thunderwave
~ Focus Punch
~ Rock Slide
This is a set I came up with recently, and 6-0'd more people in OU then I've been ninja'd, and only fainted twice, do to hax and a counter coming in.
Anyway, this EVs on this set provide maximum defense at the cost of some offense. 220 EVs in HP yields 400, a Lefties recovery number. As you can see, my team lacks a Special wall, so Regigigas is EVed and Natured to a Special bias.
Now the moves of this set show two different sides of traditional Regigigas. Sub and Twave show the Defensive side, enabling an easy path to magic turn number five, where Regigigas regains all the Speed and Attack it needs. Rock Slide and Focus Punch show the offensive side, enabling decent damage. These two moves also get great coverage. Sub and Focus Punch form the dreaded SubPunch combo, which you are probably familiar with.
I will only change the EVs on this set.
Got the joke yet? If not, look at the items.
So without further ado, rate away!
