Hey there bud,

A lot of people have already given really good suggestions but since I promised I will do my best to add to them ;o. Ok so like others have said Toxicroak is a pretty deadly threat, but so is Ice Punch Lucario who much like Toxicroack can 6-0 with some prior damage. Like others I would suggest a change in Landorus-T's spread, but to 280 speed not to 270. These extra 10 points help vs Lucario and helps to stop it from sweeping you clean. The spread I suggest is pretty much Bri's, but with extra speed (252 HP / 108 Def / 148 Spd is exact spread), this pretty much maximizes your physical bulk while giving you the necessary speed. Also like BKC you seem to have the weird tendency to always let your Starmie's be out sped by Tornadus which I find weird. Sure you have Zapdos but those 8 EVs can be game changing if Zapdos gets an unlucky fuse or crit. So I would definitely move 8 EVs to speed since the change in bulk is fairly negligible. Like others have said it seems like you would really appreciate Gyro Ball > Thunder Wave on Ferrothorn, as you don't want to give DD Dragons with lum too easy of a time. It can be risky relying so much on Stoutland to revenge (especially if they have a weather starter of their own) and since your team is based around a Stoutland sweep the lack of Paralysis shouldn't hamper your goal too much. My final suggestion is more of a personal preference, but I would suggest running Volt Switch > Thunderbolt on Zapdos. This helps give your team a lot more momentum and creates a tiny VoltTurn chain helping to get Stoutland in easier. Anyways cool team bud and gl.
