Too Far Gone

Those are merely EVs.
Here's how I see it going, I lead with Lugia and Jolteon.You use Whimsicott and Regigigas.
I'm not sure how fast Whimsicott is, so I'll assume Jolteon outruns him. Jolteon hits your Regi with double kick, which will take out a good amount of damage. Lugia hits Whimsicott with Aeroblast, leaving it hanging by a thread. Regigigas uses Earthquake to take out Jolteon, but without a STABed attack, it only takes a little over half of his HP, and it also hits Whimsicott, taking him out. You then send out Slaking. I use Double Kick again to steadily sap Regigigas's HP, which now has about 1/2 left. I then use Aeroblast on Slaking, at least 1/3 of his HP. Next, you use Crush Grip on Lugia, and Earthquake to take out Jolteon. I then use Dragonite. Your Regigigas takes some damage from Earthquake as well. Dragonite Dragon Claws Regigigas, likely taking out the last of his HP, but to be sure, Lugia uses Psychic to take him out. Slaking is now on his Loafing Around turn. I then use an Outrage, then an Aeroblast to finish this match.
NOTE: This is assuming that you do just as I want you to. This is up for other reviews.
Whimsicott is indeed slower than Jolteon, but Prankster gives priority to non-damaging moves, in this case, Worry Seed. Meaning you now have to contend with a Full Powered Regigigas, and Whimsicott's job is done, so I will readily kill him at my leisure. However, if you've lead with Lugia and Jolteon, I won't attack with Earthquake. I'm going for Lugia, and with Crush Grip STAB'd off of my massive attack, I can kill that thing in two turns. Jolteon's double kick may as well be worthless, because Regigigas is incredibly bulky. Off of Jolteon's rather poor attack stat, a lowly 60 BP move won't do much, super effective or not. So in this scenario, you have more or less wasted your turn. In addition, if I had used EQ, that Jolteon has lost a hell of a lot more than half it's HP. Your Jolteon is horrendously dead.
But I went immediately for Lugia, so as I said: first turn, Crush Grip. If you directed both attacks at Whimsicott, he will die. If you didn't, I'm Leech Seeding your Lugia. And after that, I will Thunder Punch it. This should easily kill it. But by then Whimsicott should be dead, if not, Regigigas may be getting close, if he isn't already.
Regardless, next turn you have to switch something in. What is it? Your options are already severely limited. With your remaining team, the best option you have is Dragonite, who is the only person with any resistances to my moves. I expect to kill him in two turns as well, with a maximum of three, unless you can kill my Regigigas before then. After that, damn near everything on your team is in major trouble. Houndoom might be a good choice for some damage to my Regigigas. But it might not kill him, depending on if you took out Whimsicott or not. And if you don't kill my Regigigas, I'll probably kill your Jolteon and him with an Earthquake.
So after these first few turns, Lugia is gone, your biggest gun, as well as the possibility of your Jolteon and Houndoom. I still have mine, and three Pokemon that I haven't even decided on at this point.
