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.
To respond to all of these: I think that sand is really bad because essentially, the weather starter you run isn't for anything else but the weather. That isn't true if you run Kyogre/Groudon, though. I think we should stop debating this, make a new thread if you want to debate about sandstorm.

This guy toxic stalls like no other. It also beats Extremekiller 1 on 1. Timid nature is for outspeeding the common 90/95s, and Stone Edge is for beating...
Ferro can still tank Darkrai-have a look.
52 SpA Darkrai Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 208 SpD Ferrothorn: 100-118 (28.4 - 33.52%) -- possible 4HKO (This is with no steel typing)
If anything, it walls Darkrai harder as it won't carry focus miss as much. Most ghoseus' carry flamethrower anyway...
