For some reason, I've always thought that Regigigas looks a bit like a Christmas tree...

Vs. Waddle; I should have sent out Venomoth-Regigigas, but I thought he would have been expecting that (of course, he probably was, but... :P)... turned out not to work very well...

EDIT: Making a few changes to the team... then I'll call it a day.

Ok; I've gotten the Regigigas-swap well (since the main Pokemon involved are now immune to flinchings, ruining a whole part of the opponent's strategy >:D) devised, but my support Pokemon keep failing me.
Blaziken functions rather well, and can take out oponents, but acts a bit like a "suicide bomber," with moves like Hi Jump Kick and Flare Blitz; I can't complain about it, because it's helpful in many cases.
Gengar, intended as a replacement for Mismagius to serve a similar purpose, just isn't cutting it; it seems a bit too frail, and despite its high speed, can't often land a hit on an opponent (in some cases, using Substitute doesn't help at all...).
Likewise, Magnezone can't take a hit either, at least before it serves its purpose. D:

Since Gengar and Magnezone apparantly aren't working out well (at least with this combination), what Pokemon do you suggest I replace them with?

What is your entire team? I'll look into it.

Team, in order of Team Builder, including a small bit of logic behind each:

Alakazam - Choice Scarf - Inner Focus
Skill Swap - Psychic - Energy Ball - Shadow Ball
HP 252 - Sp Atk 4 - Speed 252 - Timid (+Speed, -Atk)
(can quickly pass ability to Regigigas, and withstand a hit from Fake Out; if it survives, it can pass the ability onto another opponent; if forced to switch out, it can come back with one of its attacking moves)

Regigigas - Leftovers - Slow Start
Thunder Wave - Earthquake - Drain Punch - Fire Punch
HP 252 - Atk 252 - Speed 4 - Adamant (+Atk, -Sp Atk)
(has enough HP to withstand many attacks; first turn, uses Thunder Wave to paralyze an opponent, then uses Earthquake or Drain Punch when Latios is out)

Gengar - Leftovers - Levitate
Substitute - Focus Blast - Shadow Ball - Disable
HP 4 - Sp Atk 252 - Speed 252 - Timid (+Speed, -Atk)
(meant to try and counter Psychic-type counters like other ghosts and dark-types; recently, I Disabled another Gengar's Shadow Ball and was able to OHKO it with Shadow Ball, although, for some reason, it doesn't seem to be able to outspeed much else??)

Magnezone - Air Balloon - Magnet Pull
Hidden Power Ground - Volt Switch - Flash Cannon - Substitute
HP 100 - Sp Atk 252 - Speed 156 - Timid (+Speed, -Atk)
(originally intended to trap steel-types and counter them, it never seems to be fast, nor bulky, nor powerful enough to do that)

Blaziken - Black Belt - Speed Boost
Protect - Superpower - Hi Jump Kick - Flare Blitz
HP 4 - Atk 252 - Speed 252 - Jolly (+Speed, -Sp Atk)
(I originally had Leftovers on Blaziken as well, but they don't work well enough to warrant their use in this situation, and Black Belt provides a better boost, doesn't sacrifice HP, something I really need, and doesn't only work on super-effective moves)

Latios - Life Orb - Levitate
Heal Pulse - Draco Meteor - Psyshock - Surf
HP 252 - Sp Atk 252 - Speed 4 - (Timid (+Speed, -Atk)
(Latios is able to effictively keep Regigigas alive for much longer, especially when combined with Drain Punch, and is not affected by Earthquake. When used with Blaziken, it can use Surf after Blaziken uses Protect)

Regigigas Sweep
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/smogondoubles8635086

I've found sufficient sweepers to replace Gengar and Magnezone with, although they serve different purposes. It provides better balance to my team, and I've discovered how to use the Regigigas strategy most effectively.

What server do you guys play on?

There is only one server in Pokemon Showdown, I think. That means we can play with whoever we want.

Also a nice battle against a sand team.
