Cycholm might need some Speed to be able to do that though.

Cycholm @ Expert Belt/Leftovers
Trait: Shield Dust
~Charge Beam
~Thunderbolt
~Dragon Pulse/Ice Beam
~Slack Off/Ice Beam
EVs: 4 HP/252 SATK/252 SPE
Nature: Timid/Modest

Im hoping to slash in Ice Beam to nail a few side pokes, but his STABS are excellent enough to take resistors. OO would include Flamethrower for Ferro who could come into Charge Beam and wall.

Anything I miss?
I think that going the bulky route would be better; it allows you to set-up Charge Beam's a lot easier. It also goes very well with Cyclohm's good resistances, Slack Off, and good bulk.

I'm not too sure about Ice Beam either. It really doesn't hit much other than Gliscor and Landorus. Most Dragon-types take enough damage from Dragon Pulse anyways.

For the EV's, I could probably get away with just dumping all of the EV's into HP and Defense. It wouldn't hit that hard, and it'd be pretty vulnerable to special attacks, but it still has the potential to be a really good late-game sweeper.

Now that I think about it, it wouldn't be too hard to stop this set. Landorus, Gliscor, Dragonite, Celebi, Colossoil, Fidgit, etc. At least it does well against rain once Ferrothorn is down! It's still worth a shot, though. I'm going to test out Charge Beam Cyclohm tomorrow, probably.
