I seek to know now a few specifics on Trick Room.

...Unfortunately, I only remember one right now. What does it do to priority-modified moves such as Bullet Punch and Counter?

I ask this because I'm trying to create a solid original kind of team...my life will basically be complete if it works.

Move like that will go last accordind to the pokemon like if snorlax used counter it would go first and be useless

Nope. Priority stays exactly the same in Trick Room. What changes is who goes first within that priority. So Snorlax Body Slam will be faster than Infernape Close Combat but not Infernape Mach Punch.

:( that makes things a bit tougher.

Are there any items that extend the life of TR's effect? Such as Wet Rock to Rain Dance, or Light Clay to Reflect or Light Screen?

Nope. The trick to TR is tho get that 3-turn rhythm going for your team. It's really hard.

Are there any moves that can disrupt Trick Room that are common at all? Any pokemon I should watch out for in that respect?

The team's coming together...I'll put in a RMT on the competitive forum when my rough team is assembled...it's hard.

Obviously slow pokemon will be hard to counter. Heatran might be a nuisance as it can take on Bronzong, and Infernape just because it kills so much stuff. There aren't really any trouble pokemon in the way that Tyranitar and stuff hurt weather teams.

Most slow Pokémon won't have 0 Speed IVs and -Speed natures. Try to make sure you have a good Dark and/or Fire resist in there; most Trick Room set-uppers are Psychic or Bronzong. The Wet Rock Rain Dance / Trick Room Bronzong to Clamperl combo is popular and works occasionally, use that!

i dont think their an item that prolongs it. But i would make sure the Pokemon is a good switch combo. Watch out for people who might try and Ninjask during the Trick Room, to get a nasty upper-hand when its over.
