I considered him but Starmie fits better since it knows a electric, water, and ice move plus when swaped out, it heals any status effects like poisen or paralyze.

That's why your subDDtar isn't going to work. In double battles, the sub can be broken and then tyranitar can be attacked. Plus, an EQ will own your last duo.
Oh yeah and swampert gets owned by grass.

Either way. Knowing Razek's style, I wager 5 wins tops if it's single elimination. Sorry Razek, but you're more of a person to use relentless power, double battles take imagination.

Tyranitar is not just used for his substitute combo. His sandstorm also screws people over plus uneffected by psychic moves
Metagross with a quick claw, with my luck, goes first 5 times in a row even being paralyzed
But if you guys have any other Ideas, I would like to hear them

Well, if groudon is your lead-off then sunny day will be in effect for the whole game... thus rendering starmie rtaher powerless to use her own water atatcks... so I suggest you give it rain dance. So, it could be like rain dance, water oulse (power boost from rain evens out loss from taking off surf with added bonus of confusion) thunder (rainy day will be pretty necessary as a lead-off move so might as well max out this) and psychic. of course you can replace psychic with recover or whatever move you need.

You could always use my parish-songer+wobbuffet combo.
And the Skill-swapped-slaking is a double battle classic.

Yeah, but rather than us9ing it he should be prepared to counter it. Hias opponents will expect slaking skill swap to be a common move so if Razek says out of that generic strategy area he may gain a small elemt of surprise.

That's how you use a SSS don't you guys remember? I would send out my skill swapper on one turn and on the next turn I would have it skill swap my other pokemon. Before it could, however, I would send Slaking out to take that spot and my slaking would lose its traunt as soon as it came out.

Starmie- thunderbolt surf icebeam recover
starmie is just good right now. Plus I chose him to defend me against kyrogres or others pokemon that use rain dance
I doubt I have time to level up good enough pokemon for the SSS combo. Plus I only use Slaking for his stong Hyper Beam attack
>_< I so wish I was more prepaired for this. I will be so much more ready for next year.

Change Starmie's moveset to Thunder Surf Blizzard Recover.
Here's why, thunder is there because you want him to counter rain dancers, blizzard and surf both strike two opponents, and recover will help you with matches that come down to attrition battles.
