As you'll probably notice, this team has a lot of trick room users. The idea is that trick room, while a useful tool, should not be relied upon consistently, and sometimes faking trick room can be more valuable than actually using it. As such, the team was built around a “core” of two, a “slow team” of two, and a “fast team” of two. Testing so far has shown that both pure sets are fairly effective, and that the team can also split its picks to perform mind games or to react to opposing Pokemon without falling apart.

My immediate worries are that I have no fighting or fire moves, my EVs are probably shit, and my actual Pokemon choices were picked almost at random, although they seem to work pretty well.
Suggestions are happily accepted, tear this team to shreds.
