Hi, /g/entleman here.

I've started playing pokemon diamond again (I already knew about EVs, IVs, damage formulas, tiers, etc) but I'm out of ideas for my team. It's basically for the battle tower and battle revolution, so no fancy strategies for me. This is the team (doubles):

Metagross (quick claw):
- Zen headbutt, earthquake, explosion, meteor mash

Latios (soul dew):
- Thunderbolt, ice beam, psychic, dragon pulse

Gengar (focus sash):
- Destiny bond, focus wave, psychic, shadow ball

Salamence (life orb):
- Crunch, zen headbutt, earthquake, dragon claw

(Tyranitar, removed)
(Garchomp, removed)

I removed the last two because the didn't really fit into the team but I don't know what to put in their place. I was thinking of raikou/zapdos + milotic/gyarados to compensate for water and earth/rock enemies. However they are all special attackers (except gyarados, but it needs to dragon dance first) and some won't take an earthquake coming from metagross or salamence easily at all. Do you have any suggestions? This is my strategy:

Usually I go with the metagross/latios combination and they are really good OHKO'ing anything in front of them. If I have trouble I swap latios with gengar and use explosion with metagross

However I need better type coverage and resistance. For example I have literally zero water, grass or fire attacks in the team and my gengar is also a piece of shit (can't OHKO at all and even salamence is faster)

Suggestions? Also 4th gen appreciation thread
