Since you have Evs in both def and Hp, I doubt ANY physical hit could kill you. And Calm Mind boosts your Spc.def and Spc.atk, making it even more deadly.

I like the Bronzong. I never been a big fan of Snorlax, dunno why. What about confusion ray in place of calm mind, though? Resting while an enemy is confused feels like it would be even more frustraiting to me. I was also thinking, Heatproof and levitate are both decent abilities. But I might confuse an opponent more with heatproof just because I bet levitate would be more powerful, so you'd either bring in a fire type against it first or a pokemon who can negate levitate.

Thanks. Also, if you want to put Confuse Ray in, substitute it for Psychic. Calm Mind is there so it can Boost your Spc.def, since your defense is already uberly. And, it also boosts Spc.Atk, so you can effectively Special Sweep with Flash Cannon, after about 3-4 Calm Minds. It could probably use levitate more though, since Earthquakes are very common, but Heat Proof is also a great ability. How bout let it have one ability, and then have one of those berries that reduce the power of certain type of attack. Like lets say you give it levitate, then give it the berry that reduces a super-effective fire attack, or Vice Versa.

See, heres what I started thinking.

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Evs In Hp and Def
Impish Nature
Heatproof

Confusion Ray
Psychic
Rest
Flash Cannon

This way, I can use confusion ray as an opener, and use both psychic and flash cannon to their type advantage, then, once confusion falls off, i'd have enough damage to use it again, then rest while leftovers kept bringing my health higher. Psychic would give that nice defense against fighting and fire types that flash canon wouldn't offer, and most people would expect levitate, so if they tossed out something to negate levitate, I could effectively be wasting their held item ;0)

EDIT: I all most just love having these discussions. Maybe I should make random new teams on diffrent days just to talk :0P

[Shaco]

I'd prefer Hypnosis over Confuse Ray, since they don't have any chance of attacking you >_>

Yeah, its a great moveset :D

Also, your right, most people would expect levitate over heat proof, so theres a suprise! Well, GL with your team. Me go sleep now...

I guess it ups some stats sometimes, so I guess it's your choice in the end.

a good addition might be a defensive wall. skarmory is an OU one that's a candidate in this case, (except it gives electric types nearly free reign over your team...) or you could add in something like Flygon if you need the type coverage. (electric resistance + ground resistance + sandstorm resistance?)

hm... I dunno. zangoose maybe? :P

What about dropping both those ghost attacks, make him sassy or relaxed and give him Payback? The lower speed would almost ensure he goes last, giving it a base AP of 100, and it would be physical.

Yeah, but I figure if chance rolls my way and it keeps hitting itself, the trainer might get frustraited enough to start making stupid moves.

[Shaco]

He's already slow, just go with Adamant.

I love psychological warfare in Pokémon <3 But I'd rather go with consistency, rather than luck.

Him already being slow is the point, that way I know he doesn't really lose anything from the nature. In adition, it increases the chance of making sure pay back goes last against other slow pokes.

P.S. you follow me around like a ghost, man, I swear, I make a post and its like you've responded before I see it finished loading :0P But i kinda like that, anyway.

[Shaco]

Lol, I just post really slow, I check my post for any errors >_>
Also, the chances of him being out-slowed is like, the chances of Jesus being Jewish >_>
