Another team. I tried not to make it a wall of text. Have fun rating, I know you will.
So then;
*Why only 2 ice types?*
Because ice is a poor type. Sure, it's great to have on a team. On starmie w/ ice beam perhaps. It's just awful having more than 2, because the common weaknesses become a little too much.
Now rate my team please.

(Abomasnow) () @ Occa Berry
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 HP/76 Spd/20 SAtk/160 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Blizzard
- Leech Seed
- Rock Slide
- HP fire

After a few days of fairly solid testing, I came up with this set, which works awesomely.
The special defence EVs and that occa berry means I don't have to pass to heatran on round one, which is pretty damn helpful. The element of surprise is great, and I hate having swampert out there early. It's over before it starts.
I decided on it being really slow so that snow warning runs last over hippo and tar.
Rock Slide and HP fire make him a great antilead, albeit a slow one. The highlight is that rockslide is a 3HKO on standard bulkygyara, when they'll probably taunt on the first turn.

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Substitute
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake

Garchomp can hax, so can I, m i rite?
Sub + Curse makes him the shit, while those 2 STABS make him a god. As a counter counter argument against obligatory gyara rape comment, I would like to remind you of the coolness curse. Sub stops taunt IIRC, and I can curse up like its 1999. I think I need an alternative to earthquake, but It's been OK so far.

Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Knock Off
- Stone Edge

Thick Fat hariyama works well again for added phazing / knock off / paralysis support. Also, best TTar counter.

Hail + Sleep Talk gyara = epic. Just plain epic.
It's my main gyara counter, and can tank out skarm well enough.

Timid nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Surf

My spinner, adds some good support. Chomp Counter.
Focus Punch and Sucker Punch Add some great physical presence, but this gets fucked over by passive damage more often than not.

Me So Horny
(Blissey) () @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 6 HP/252 Def/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Calm Mind
- Soft Boiled
- Hidden Power [Ground]
_________________________________________________
It's a variation of ubers blissey thats working well. Blizzard and HP ground work awesomely, while calm mind is the shit for that sweet sweet special invincibility.
I'll expand on HP [Ground], which is omnipresent in all my blissey sets nowadays. It helps against specscario, heatran, jirachi, and alot of special threats which blissey just can't beat sometimes.
