it's good, i just think that getting movesets like fire blast+flamethrower is kinda stupid (imo on every pokemon that has both as a possible move, remove flamethrower cuz fire blast's 30% burn makes it better generally)
Getting 5 water and flying mons against Zapdos + thbolt Gengar is annoying to say the least, but nothing can be done about it I guess 
There is a thread on rby2k10 but I don't know what has been posted here as well:

You've nerfed the OU pokemon way too much now (so much that graveler is now better than golem, etc). I think level 79-ish would be a good middle ground for OUs, 85 for UUs is fine, and 90+ for LCs and stuff looks good
edit: also remove poisonpowder from everything, and maybe have some sort of restriction for potential movesets like swords dance/sleep powder/stun spore/toxic? (swords dance w/o physical moves, max 2 statuses?) or is that too complex?
edit 2: make fire blast mandatory move on moltres?

Thank you, for the update Joim. The game plays alot better now. I would strongly suggest you add Earthquake (Ground Type) to the list of things Pokemon won't have an overlapping weakness for.
I'd say ditch the whole avoid overlapping weaknesses thing totally, but that's just me.

don't forget bel, also cloyster could be in between idk it's still ok without clamp but really idk why not give it clamp it's not as aids as the other moves
I think bel is considered UU on smogon
Staryu is UU. She should either be NFE or LC. She was top tier in LC so maybe NFE would be best.
same level as gastly looks good imo
I just had a team where 3 Pokemon were weak against Psychic...
I don't think psychic is that huge considering that psychic pokes aren't all that common in randbats.
Edit: Also, I think double powder by itself is fine, but I just think that every pokemon should have at least one attack or something like that (for example, sleep powder/stun spore/growth/mega drain is a fine set)
That is something you have to deal with in randbats. Having a bad team composition is nothing new
But Joim said he took measures to prevent that. I'm asking why that's not working all of a sudden
