Azelf @Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: HP: 4 / Sp Atk: 252 / Spd: 252
Nature: Timid
-Psychic
-Stealth Rock
-Taunt
-Thunder Wave
Azelf ended up being my lead of choice due to being the fastest pokemon with Thunder Wave and Stealth Rock. Psychic is Azelf's way of dealing damage, T Wave is to slow down opponents, Stealth Rocks are Stealth Rocks, and Taunt is to stop utility moves from other leads that aren't Aerodactyl.

Torterra @Occa Berry
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: HP: 252 / Atk: 252 / Sp Def: 4
Nature: Adamant
-Wood Hammer
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Swords Dance
When trying to build around Torterra, I noticed it's normal set is a Rock Polish set to get around it's low speed. I thought of a different way to get around this issue: Thunder Wave. With other teammates paralyzing the opponent, I can afford to run Swords Dance to let Torterra deal more damage, I have Wood Hammer and Earthquake as my main STABs, and Stone Edge for coverage. I also gave a it an Occa Berry to help with Fires like Infernape, who otherwise give me some trouble.

Zapdos @Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: HP: 252 / Sp Atk: 252 / Sp Def: 4
Nature: Modest
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Thunder Wave
-Roost
Zapdos is my 2nd Paralyzes spreader, and it also resists fighting which is nice for my team. Thunderbolt is STAB, HP Ice is for Ground Types (although I am considering HP Flying for STAB, Thunder Wave to get the opponent Paralyzed, and Roost is to keep Zapdos alive from Stealth Rocks.

Jirachi @Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: HP: 4 / Atk: 252 / Spd: 252
Nature: Adamant
-Iron Head
-Zen Headbutt
-Thunder Wave
-Body Slam
When I have a team spreading Paralyzes, it felt like a good idea to include Jirachi. Iron Head and Zen Headbutt are famously annoying moves to deal with with their 60% flinch chance on Jirachi. I also have Thunder Wave and Body Slam to Paralyze literally any pokemon in Gen 4.

Empoleon @Shuca Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: HP: 252 / Sp Atk: 252 / Sp Def: 4
Nature: Modest
-Surf
-Flash Cannon
-Ice Beam
-Aqua Jet
Empoleon is a decently strong Water type that also enjoys some Paralyzes support. Surf and Flash Cannon for reliable STAB, Ice Beam for Dragons and Grass types, then I have Aqua Jet for Revenge Killing. Empoleon also has a Shuca Berry to flip the script on pokemon like D Dance Tyranitar or Dragonite.

Tyranitar @Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: HP: 252 / Atk: 252 / Sp Def: 4
Nature: Adamant
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Pursuit
I noticed that alot of my team are immune to Sand, so I added a Choice Band Tyranitar as an extra abuser of my Paralyzes. Rock Slide and Crunch are for STAB, Earthquake deals with Steels, and Pursuit lets me trap Dark weak pokemon.
