Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Uhh...sorry if sound retarded, but wouldn't return actually be a viable option without having to sacrifice yourself to deal with blissey with? Especially with download, I'm pretty sure it will at the very least 2hko bliss, if not one hit it.
So me and my friend had a debate about the age long subject of whether pokemon tiers should be based on preformance, or usage. My friend, being a pbr player, and I being a wi-fi and simulator player had obviously different opinions.

A proper tier system, should be based on...
This is undoubtabely one of my more successful UU teams. Its funny because it wasn't really meant to be successful, but more of a gimmick team that had fun with a Pikachu. I haven't shoddied with this team yet, but on PO, I have yet failed to lose more than once out of countless battles. Without...
>Starmie: As a lead, Machamp Paybacks for the OHKO, Bullet Punch if its sashed for the kill. If it comes in later, Gengar is my best bet, but +1 TTar outspeeds and OHKOs with Crunch. Suicune and Zapdos can kill with HP Grass and Tbolt respectively.
^ Read that. ^
TTar outspeeds after 1 DD, so...
I see a cm rachi weakness. Your best way of dealing with it is hp fire and heatwave, which after calm minds, rachi's gonna have a field day with. I would suggest a perish song Celebi in place of gengar. You still get something to take ground and fighting moves, and fixes up your cm rachi weakness.
Starmie sounds like a VERY good replacement. I'm just kinda reluctant to change it since as I mentioned, I first built my team around her. But nevertheless I will try Starmie in the place.
I can see a tauntrados weakness here. I suggest a Rotom-A in place of gliscor, who really doesn't accomplish much except for baton passing swords dance to Weavile which it cac do for himself.
Toxic on gengar is just... Terrible. Replace it with substitute. This lets it fare much better against steel types and take out things that would otherwise outspeed and kill it.
And you're team isn't really steel weak at all, So magnezone could be replaced with another support/sweeper pokemon...
Gliscor has always been a lead I've wanted to try, so yeah, I'll put it on and see how it does. Thanks. Also with the scarftar earthquake thing, most of the time, its pretty obvious, so Mence can usually switch in, and if its stuck on earthquake, cune can set up. And seeing how scizor can...
> Your lead looks pretty solid. The same one i use and if you use it right it can really screw your opponent over. You could always change Roar for Protect. That helps with surviving longer with leftovers building up more health
Roar, as I have explained s for scouting puroses, and this thing...
So yeah, my first RMT on Smogon. This team was originally built around a Mixrachi, but evolved into my most successful OU team ever. It peaked 1440 CRE (That's pretty high for me).
