After two years of RBY and GSC I have decided to make a comeback in RSE. I played it 2 years ago, but I used to play without any sense / strategy and without understanding the meta; I just knew basic pokemon, enough to win more than half of the battles with some prediction though, but nothing more, so I know I can't (shouldn't) use my past RSE knowledge now.

As far as I read here, I have here the list of main threats but I don't actually know if I'm missing something important.
Ttar - Celebi / Swampert (+ Claydol) [depending on the set]
Flygon - Celebi / Swampert (+ Claydol) [depending on the set]
Gengar - Dusclops
Jirachi - Swampert / Blissey / Claydol [depending on the set]
Aerodactyl - Swampert + Skarmory
Metagross - Swampert + Skarmory
Mence - Swampert / Skarm / Claydol / Dusclops [depending on the set]
Heracross - Skarmory + Dusclops [prediction]
Zapdos - Celebi / Swampert + Blissey
Snorlax / Slaking / other CBNormals - Skarmory (+ Dusclops / Celebi etc [depending on the set]). With Maggy support prediction with Dusclops (is there a reasonable way to avoid Maggy?)
Gyarados - Skarm / Dusclops [depending on the set]
Yeah CalmCune. Also I don't know if there are some other threats for which a secondary phazer like Swampert is needed. Thoughts?
Also, going to Battle of the Week's team, variations to play with? (like Gengar / Jirachi etc).
Thanks.
