first of all, don't waste your BP on a Focus Sash. if you're lucky, you can get one for free every 3 days. (go to the house near Pal Park.)
Wise Glasses only increase your special moves by 1.1 x, so they're not really worth it.

but most importantly, Ancientpower is SPECIAL. if you really hate Stone Edge's accuracy that much, use Rock Slide. I'm pretty sure Aerodactyl can learn it. (by TM)

Eh, forgot to change ancient power when I copied and pasted.

Fixed now.

Doesn't Adaptability change all the users attacking types to Normal? or gives them STAB Boost as if they were Normal?

You should have a mixed sweeper as your last spot, the best ones that come to mind are Electivire (which you kind of have bait for in Aerodactyl), Infernape, Blaziken, Lucario... there are more but these guys do it best.

that's Delcatty's ability, and its one of the worst in the game. it obviously gives you absolutely no type coverage and would ruin Boltbeam.

Adaptability gives extra STAB, though I'm not quite sure how much. so it only effects Tri Attack on PorygonZ.

So my third should be a mixed sweeper? Okay. I also need a Pokemon with sturdy, right? Well if my mixed sweeper doesn't have a priority move, I guess I could replace Aerodacty with Sudowoodo, who has sturdy and sucker punch. I'ma gonna look for a mixed sweeper. I wouldn't mind suggestions for or against my Sudowoodo idea. Also, could you please list more mixed sweepers?

I think I'll use Tyranitar as my mixed sweeper. Now, I shouldn't need a priority move with sandstream out, so I can use a different sturdy psyical sweeper. So no Sudowoodo!

...
Only psyical sweeper with sturdy I can find is Donphan. And I don't know when they'll swarm Phanpy... Hmm...Maybe I don't need sturdy, hopefully a ghost type is eneough, since I've heard about this one guillting Crawdaunt.

I guess a ghost would be a good choice, as Porygon-Z and Ttar are both weak to fighting.

Should I replace Aerodactyl with Shedinja or Banette? Which moveset to use would be nice as well.

Don't have access to Infernape. So which should my psyical sweeper be, Shedinja or Banette? Best moveset for my team would be nice.

EDIT: You still haven't answered my question.

OK, but...you do know that there is an edit button, right? No need to post multiple posts when you could just edit them.

Shedinja and T-Tar are counterproductive.

Doy. laugh.gif Thanks for pointing that out. Banette it is I guess.

I would use some better physical sweeper. I find Weavile extremely good, but get rid of T-Tar. I would use Pory-Z, Gengar, and Weavile TBH.

EDIT: Check the analysises. And TBH means To Be Honest.

I'm not wasting my 1000 post here, so this will answer your question.

Alright. What moveset, nature, item, and EV spreads should I use for Gengar and Weavile? And what does TBH mean?

EDIT: I think I got Porygon-Z and Weavile down good. Is Expert Belt on Porygon-Z good? Because I want that focus sash on Weavile. Also, what is the formula for the metronome item attack increase? I guess if I don't give life orb to Gengar I could give it to Porygon-Z. So, I just need to find a Gengar, and then decide where the life orb goes.

I think I have it. I've edited it in the first post. Just need some feedback, mostly on the items. Espescially Porygon-Z's item. Not sure what to give it. Lax incense? Expert Belt? Leftovers?

Lax Incense is way too unreliable, and Leftovers is wasted on non-bulky sweepers. Expert Belt could work.

Alrigtht. Expert belt it is.

Looking at this trio, one of them is naive, one is timid, and the last is jolly. There're gonna get along well, lol.
