Stockpile is basicly Cosmic Power, except if you have Swallow or Spit Up, which you probably don't.

stockpile is a good move and i debated over it instead of barrier when i made cradily, but i went with barrier because of the extra SpD cradily gets from the sandstorm. also, earthquake and physical fighting moves are common so i wanted some way to get his defense up.
anywho, thanks for your opinions Esp and Shadow. I really appreciate it
Too bad gengar cant learn ice beam because that would have been great. I usually try to go for pokemon that you don't see too often. Thats why i never use my garchomp, i dont have a blissey, and i went with hippowdon over tyranitar (also i don't like 4x weaknesses).
@Shadow: Empoleon's speed is usually his downfall so a priority move would be great for him. problem is, his physical attack sucks compared to his special so i wouldnt trade it for his powerful surf. Protect is on clefable to stall for toxic and sandstorm damage. its also good with wish. i like wish on her over softboiled because it stalls more and it can help the team out. I considered getting rid of the hippo, teaching foretress SR, swaping roar for aqua jet on the penguin, trading clefable for a phiysical sweeper, and cradily for a more sturdy wall.... but then it just wouldnt be a residual damage team anymore lol. Who knows, if i get tired of losing, i just might do all of that

anyways, here's a team i've been thinking of:
Aerodactyl: Adament?/Rock Head
-SR
-Double Edge
-Thunder Fang
-Crunch
Arcanine: Adament/Intimidate
-Fire Fang
-Extreme Speed
-EQ
-Crunch
Gyrados: Adament/Intimidate
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang
-EQ
-DDance
Zapdos: Impish?/Pressure
-Roost
-Drill Peck
-Light Screen
-Thunderwave
Infernape: Adament/Blaze
-CC
-Flare Blitz
-Thunderpunch
-SDance
Roserade: Modest/Poison Point
-Energy Ball
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-???
ok, go wild

As it should.
@ Shadow: Why Double Edge?
![Wii Friend Code: $post[field5]](http://www.wiichat.com/images/misc/gf_wii.gif)
powerful move+Rock Head=strong hit. plus i've got nothing better to put there

For the last slot: What about a move to hit grass types that are immune to leech seed. sludge bomb? or maybe HP ice to hit the abundant OU dragons hard as well. or you could make it a subseeder and give it substitute.
I understand thunder fang if you're worried about waters, but i think EQ and stone edge/rock slide give better type coverage than crunch and double edge. Also, I'd definitely take pressure over rock head. Pressure is an awesome ability that can wreck strategies. Pressure + aerodactyl's speed is great for stalling out subseeders :P
