Anti-Curselax Measure
Talen
Togetic (which I _so_ intend to raise), and in discussion with µ, the
conclusion was that confusion and screech were the main requirements.
Unfortunately, the most widespread confusing move is kinda useless
against the Curselax. I came up with these two possibilities;
Misdreavus
Psych Up, Confuse Ray, Screech, (Curse? Rest?)
Umbreon
Psych Up, Confuse Ray, Screech, (Moonlight? Body Slam? Baton Pass?)
Thoughts?

Primeape:
Psych Up/Screech (to be used after Psych Up, natch) Cross Chop/Filler
You can also Curse up with Lax then Roar/Wwind it out, such as these.
Kangaskhan:
Curse/Return/Earthquake/Roar
Skarmory (Mine at the moment, its main advantage being resistance to any
Physical move lax can throw at it):
Curse/Drill Peck/Sandstorm/Whirlwind
Steelix:
Curse/EQ/Rock Slide/Roar
Lastly, Smeargle fucks lax seven different ways, use your imagination, as
long as it involves Spore :)

Oh, I think Psych Up/Roar might be good too, but the only thing I can think
of that does this is Stantler...
Perhaps Psych Up/Roar/Spite or Earthquake/Return?

If you're designing a Misdreavus for the sole purpose of countering a
Curselax, then you certainly don't need Curse, as Psych Up is already
serving that purpose for you here. Nor would I go with Rest,
considering how Missy gets Pain Split, which is infinitely better
against Curselax.
I would go with Shadow Ball over Screech, to give at least *some* other
attack capability--but if you're designing *only* for Curselax, Screech
it is. And personally, I like Swagger over Confuse Ray. So long as
you're going to gamble, go for the high stakes.

You know how Curse works with ghosts, right?

Swaggering Snorlax is how you get your team swept. Plus it wont actually
work on a fully cursed one.

You know, actually, I had forgotten. I never ever see Curse on ghosts,
so I was only thinking of the usual effect. I'd feel stupid about this,
but I was drunk at the time (and I knew I was missing something). This
is why I don't rate teams...Anyway, I can't diagree with any of your
other points. Thanks for the reminders...

BEAT UP! ;p

Nice, but it still gets a turn of curse over you if you don't lead
with it... Hm.

I was thinking Psych Up, Spore, Agility, Swift ;p

Persian, Mew, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-oh and Stantler.
Given of those, Persian and Stantler seem the best bet for the job.
>Perhaps Psych Up/Roar/Spite or Earthquake/Return?
For Stantler, yes. Psych Up/Roar, though, _requires_ your opponent to
be doing it.
I'd use Persian with Shadow Ball and Return. Better speed.

Speed isnt that important if they're going to be Psych'ing up Curses.
