Slowbro + Ice Beam rapes most variants of Dragonite.Anti Metagame Team but you can nothing against the most common mon, Dragonite.
I suggest you to play on Smogon University Server to see yourself the difference with PO ladder.
The only items that are banned are items that increase Evasion, namely Brightpowder and Lax Incense.i thought razor claw was banned.
Yes, Forretress would be a good option to try out! It would really benefit your Snorlax's Whirlwind. You could try giving it Leftovers over Shed Shell and then teach it Volt Switch over Earthquake. Volt Switch will allow you to escape Magnet Pull. I suggest trying both out and then decide for yourself which on you like best.The only items that are banned are items that increase Evasion, namely Brightpowder and Lax Incense.
Anyway, this is certainly an interesting team, but you do have a few things to fix. First of all, Excadrill and Deoxys-S are both banned, making any reasons that include them irrelevant. Also, seeing as this team relies heavily on the surprise factor, you have to look out for hyper offense teams, which just focus on attacking, no matter what kinds of sets they're opponents are running. That brings up the issue which Zelda100 brought up: basically any variant of the DragMag strategy will wreck your team. Now, there are a couple of ways to help solve this problem. I don't really see the point of Tyranitar being on your team, besides it setting up Stealth Rock. Also, all of the other Pokemon on your team take damage from sandstorm except for those that are holding Leftovers. Ninjask is not very common anymore and Deoxys-S is banned, so I would suggest using the Swords Dance Scizor Zelda100 mentioned instead of Tyranitar. If you want the entry hazards support you could easily use a Shed Shell Forretress instead of Tentacruel to both set up entry hazards and spin away opposing entry hazards. The Shed Shell will help you get away from Magnezone should it switch into you. Your Breloom should be able to take care of Jellicent as long as the Jellicent isn't carrying Ice Beam.
I think that if you implement those changes, you'll be able to take on all forms of DragMag teams, which have been gaining in popularity and thus should be considered when making an OU team.

Also, sorry if this was a bad rate, I have only started rating teams so I'm not very experienced at this yet. :P
I believe this team doesn't deserve this kind of rating...Don't be so cocky please, it is very annoying. Ihave never heard of you, and don't say one of my many anti- metagame teams. Be somewhat modest please

First off, never use restalk phazers without heavy hazards
Second, give slowbro slack off and scald. Fire blast,ice beam not so necessary. Or t-wave really.
Do not make references to banned pokes >-<
If sash t-tar was good, which it may be, as I have never tried it, there is little to no reason to use sandstorm as none of your pokémon abuse it and 5 of them take residual damage every turn.
I can not pass judgement on absolute or breloom as both sets have decent logic and I have not used them in BW OU
Then tentacruel set confuses me as tentacruel makes no sense to use In sand and the set seems to gimmicky to be effective, in my opinion.
I am guessing you have never actually played a match competitively, or at least in BW OU as the wins I would estimate you would obtain against average opponents would not be as high as you claim, in fact I believe losses are more ubiquitous than wins with this team, if it were to be used on a competitive level against average opponents.
Another reason I don't believe you with success and things is you totally changed the team and re-posted it like an hour later.
You might want to provide some screenshots of your ranking on the Smogon and PO servers, as some people might not believe you if you just say that you're at those ranks.consistently maintain a rank above 1450 in the OU tier.
#8 ranking at PO
Or proof he can use photoshop.^ proof it doesn't take a good team to ladder. Honestly, I would rate but there are too many holes in this team.
Yes because I would really take the time to photoshop something for a guy I only know from an online pokemon simulator. And two of them are from todays ladder, it really isn't hard to confirm. All dates are included as well at the top of each picture.Or proof he can use photoshop.
I agree. I battled him again yesterday. The team's good.How does a thread like this become so bad? I have fought C&E and I have seen him battle and I can assure you, he is not a noob. On a side note, watch out for your own breloom set.
