Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Well it looks like this post is a lot more relevant now, except for the replays. Some may be a bit outdated
Base 95 Speed still lets you outspeed base 80s
Base 115 Modest is roughly the same power as Gengar
Levitate gives it some defensive utility and offers more opportunities to regain...
Four words to describe both Typhlosion and Electrode: H E A T
Typhlosion's read might be interesting to some of you while Electrode's is just use Thunderbolt and Boom
Gengar's Will-O-Wisps used to annoy me a lot so one day I said "I'm sick of these free burns" and looked for a fun solution...

Nidoqueen is surprisingly good in this gen. it's great. What's the reasoning for 96 Speed? It hits a speed of 212: I can't figure out what that outspeeds
