Explosion

Well, ratings should be on a 1-10 scale, decimals if needed... 1 being horrible, 10 being awesome. Please do NOT reply with fixes IN THIS POST(if you chose to quote instead of quick reply.), it's confusing for me.

Strategies-

Aerodactyl is a sweeper, plain and simple. Attack.

Houndoom is another sweeper, just special. Swagger's for other special sweepers.

Kingdra is awesome, end of story. Rain Dance doubles speed, then a STABed Rain Danced Surf kills, easy.

Skarmory's a tank/annoyer. Lay out 3 sets of spikes and roar the opponents in. Use Steel Wing when needed, and Taunt against Cursepert, Cureslax, Blissey, and all those other pokemon.

Salamence is a sweeper, capable of physical, special, or mixed. I have mixed.

Tyranitar is an awesome sweeper (with dragon dance, but i'm running a substipunch t-tar instead). Substitute, Focus Punch/Thunderbolt/Crunch as needed.

Gengar's a great sweeper. Shadow Ball and Psychic away, use Toxic on tough opponents and use Night Shade on dark types.

Blaziken's effective as a mixed sweeper. Send him in to fight waters, fliers, steel types, fires, whatever. Thunderpunch waters, Overheat on things you absolutely have to kill, like Metagross. Rock Slide the fliers, and Sky Uppercut gets a STAB, and is a good move too.

Flygon is an unusual Dragon, period. STABed Earthquake and Dragon Claw are effective. Other moves are fillers.

Metagross is a pure tank. Meteor Mash gets a STAB, Thunderpunch is a filler. Earthquake simply kills, and Explosion is a killer (no pun intended) move when used CORRECTLY.

Fixes?

Ratings?

God bless.

Aerodactyl @ Choice Band
Wing Attack-STAB and more PP than Aerial Ace
Rock Slide-STAB
Earthquake
Double-Edge-Rock Head
(Aerial Ace may have less PP, but it can still hit a Double Teaming Pokemon. Use PP ups if you need more moves)(The Other Moves Look Good to me)

Houndoom @ Focus Band
Flamethrower-STAB
Crunch-STAB
Swagger
Sludge Bomb
(I always like how Houndoom learns Poison attacks. But Poison is Physical Isn't it? Attract might be a good idea...Maybe)

Kingdra @ Leftovers
Surf-STAB
Ice Beam
Rain Dance-Swift Swim
Toxic
(Well, My Kingdra has a Higher Attack rather than Special, so I cant comment on Yours...)

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Taunt
Steel Wing-STAB
Roar
Spikes
(Instead of Taunt, how about Attract? It works for me...)

Salamence @ Choice Band
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Flamethrower
Dragon Claw-STAB
(Instead of Flamethrower, try Brick Break. Salamance does have a higher Attack Power. Or maybe Fly. Its a STAB on him...)

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Substitute
Focus Punch
Thunderbolt
Crunch-STAB
(Well...I dunno. I prefer an all out offensive Tyrannitar myself.)

Additional Comment:
Gengar (lvl 50) @ Leftovers

Night Shade
Shadow Ball-STAB
Toxic
( i like this moveset)

Blaziken (open level) @ Focus Band

Thunderpunch
Rock Slide
Overheat-STAB
(Good Move Set)

Flygon(lvl 50) @ Focus Band
Earthquake-STAB
Dragon Claw-STAB
Crunch
Fly(don't ask)
(Instead of Crunch, maybe Flamethrower?)

Metagross (open level) @ Leftovers
Meteor Mash-STAB
Thunderpunch
Earthquake
Explosion
(How about Psychic instead of thunderpunch? its stronger and a STAB on Metagross)

Maybe add in Dragon Dance instead of Rain Dance for Kingdra?

Never take out Rain Dance on Kingdra, Rain Dance doubles its speed, that's a staple on Kingdra. Wish I could add in Dragon Dance though >_<

Additional Comment:
thanks though!

Fixes will be bold under the Pokemon.

Aerodactyl @ Choice Band
Wing Attack-STAB and more PP than Aerial Ace
Rock Slide-STAB
Earthquake
Double-Edge-Rock Head

We've already talked about this and you listened. ;p

Houndoom @ Focus Band
Flamethrower-STAB
Crunch-STAB
Swagger
Sludge Bomb

I prefer Pursuit/Fire Blast/Sub/Will-o-Wisp. Pursuit OHKOs Zammy on the switch and many other common Pokemon while dealing a lot of damage on pretty much any switch.

Kingdra @ Leftovers
Surf-STAB
Ice Beam
Rain Dance-Swift Swim
Toxic

I'm honestly not a huge fan of Kingdra and don't know the standard well enough to reccomend anything.

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Taunt
Steel Wing-STAB
Roar
Spikes

Drill Peck>Steel Wing if you don't mind Breeding..

Salamence @ Choice Band
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Flamethrower
Dragon Claw-STAB

Fire Blast>Flamethrower and EQ(if you can get it)>Dragon Claw.

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Substitute
Focus Punch
Thunderbolt
Crunch-STAB

cool.....

I don't really rate teams, so yeah...

I'll get fire blast on Flygon. As for the Salamence, I like that idea, brick break. It takes care of ice types and takes advantage of his high attack. For Tyranitar, I can run either mixed substipunch or physical substipunch...

Tyranitar @ Leftovers(both)
Sandstream
Substitute
Focus Punch
Crunch/Rock Slide
Thunderbolt/Earthquake

Yeah Brick Break can handle alot of pokemon....

Um, I was just wondering why you aren't taking advantage of Tyrrannitar's Sandstream by raising a Sand Viel Pokemon. Sandslash can be pretty decent. Cacturne is Grass Dark, Few people use Grass pokemon...

Oh, ok... I'm not a Kingdra guy really, but all of my friends' Kingdra have DD.

Well, Rain Dance is for Swift Swim, and I've got a special Kingdra. Won't work well with Dragon Dance.

Kingdra @ Leftovers
Rain Dance, Surf, Ice Beam, Toxic

Should work pretty well. Rain Dance to increase speed, Toxic/Surf(STAB/Rain Dance bonus)/Ice Beam as needed.

Additional Comment:
I hope it works -.-
