    Alright, this is the first team that I have made in awhile so it might not be that great. Anyway please don't post things like "OMG Machamp eats this team alive" and other crap like that, thanks.

    All of your movesets are really good, the only change that I would suggest is on Skarmory, Curse would be better then Toxic IMO. All that Toxic is really going to accomplish is making the opponent switch out, because they aren't gonna sit around and let Toxic's damage build up, especially because Toxic becomes regular poison after the Pokémon is switched out. Skarmory already has Whirlwind for pseudohazing purposes, so Toxic doesn't have much upside. Besides, it will just get in the way of possibly inflicting a better status change, like Paralyzing, or getting a freeze from Ice Beam. Overall, your team is pretty good, the only real problem is the 3x weakness to Fighting types.(Porygon2, Blissey, Umbreon)

    With FB lax and raikou running around, what good is curse if raikou/FBlax is just gonna force you to switch out?

    i will defend curseskarm to the grave. it is immensely underrated as a physical sweeper. people say, "omg no good trainer will ever let you sweep him with skarm1!!!11oneone" i beg to differ. i used to have logs of curseskarm sweeping some pretty important people i think. maybe. anyway, yeah, cafeteria food is lame, and don't do drugs.

    (good team).

    yeah, starmie is ok. it isn't nearly as good as it was in rby, or as it is in rs. it is still somewhat effective. i just like the other water choices such as lanturn/cloyster/slowbro. ;/

    hey looks, its MY cursegon2. yeah, we all know how cool this is. i prefer a non-cursing porygon2 now, because EVERYONE assumes its a curser when they see it. gotta keep people on their toes.

    sup blissey. you're standard and what not.

    interesting. still eaten alive by any special attack. hopefully light screen takes care of that problem while it curses up.

    i prefer curseskarm still. i dunno. it helps it against other cursers. :/

    when you use standards like this, it's hard NOT to have synergy to a certain extent. i mean, you have your wonderful blissey/skarmory combo, you have the special attacker, you have a curser and you have Machamp, along with a defensive beast who shuffles around pokemon with charm. i mean, yeah, it works, but it's just so predictable. there is no skill in using standard teams like this. it's always fun to use 2-3 standards with 3-4 pokemon that are viable enough to use in the metagame, and give them weird and crazy sets, and then just dominate the game with predictions, literally dictating what your opponent does. if you play your cards right, you can make your opponent do what you want with the right team and predictions.

    [i]not for nothing, but it would probably be best if you let sleeping threads lie. why not try to make your own thread, and see what happens there? this is just a warning, so please don't do it again.
