Status on Team: Finished
Ok, I have already created this team, only, it had huge holes and kept failing. So after A line allows progress and I revamped my team, I've decided to get more suggestion from the RMT'ers here at Smogon. Please, be as harsh as possible. Without further adieu...
My Team at a glance:
Edit: I will be changing my team from the suggestions that have been given. Keep them coming. Once I get the last info for the pokemon, i'll revise them!!!! Changes in bold!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Gliscor @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
Ev's: 252 hp/ 252 defense/ 6 speed
Impish Nature (+Def, -Sp.att)
-Stealth Rock
-Ice Fang
-Earthquake
-Roost
---
As stated by Slice, I "had a pretty bad weakness to physical Lucario, Choice Band Heracross, and the ever common Garchomp". So the suggestion was made to change Salamence to Gliscor. I like his defense. SR to support, Roost for healing, and -ice from flying. making it x2. and ice fang, and eq for some incredible damage.
-----
Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy -This is what mines has... When I get a new one with Keen Eye, i'll use it!!!
Ev's: 252 HP / 96 Atk / 156 Def / 4 Speed
Impish Nature (+Def, -Sp.att)
-Brave Bird
-Whirlwind
-Roost
-Spikes
---
Basic Skarm... Bring him in to set up spikes, roost to recover damage, and lessen electric attacks. and whirlwind to blow away anything that threatens or tries to set up. His defenses are really good, so he can take a bit of damage.
-----
Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Ev's: 172 hp/ 224 speed/ 114 satk
Timid Nature (+Speed, -Atk)
-Thunderbolt
-Surf
-Rapid Spin
-Recover
---
Yet another suggestion from Slice. And a well appreciated one at that.
As he stated, Killing two birds with one stone is a must for this team:
A. Counter Infernape.
B. Counter Gyarados.
Once again as he stated: "Two of your main threats, Infernape and Gyarados, will no longer be able to successfully sweep you." Starmie will be able to recover off health, and Rapid Spin to prevent residual damage from rocks and spikes.
-----
Spiritomb @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Ev's: 252 HP/140 Def/8 SpAtk/110 SpDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power- Fighting 70
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
---
This set is my favorite set. Hp fighting and shadow ball hits everything in the game super effective or neutral damage. Rest talk for utilizing for his defenses. The fact he is a ghost types negates the use of Rapid Spin. It also is an obvious status absorber.
-----
Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
Ev's: 84 hp/ 252 attack/ 174 sdef
Adament (+Attack, -Special Attack)
-Pursuit
-Stone Edges
-Earth Quake
-Ice Beam
---
I've decided to go with a much better alternative for Bliss. I chose Tyranitar. It will give sandstorm for even more residual damage, while taking incredible hits from surfs/calm minded attacks/hp fighting, etc. It will deliver ice beams to pokes like Breloom, Donphan, Garchomp, Gliscor, Hippowdon, and Salamence, and will hit hard, giving me the umph that my team will need. Plus the spiritomb would be fightings coverage i would need.
-----
Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
Ev's: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Speed
Adament Nature (+Atk,-Sp.Atk)
-Crunch
-Swords Dance
-Extremespeed
-Close Combat
---
Yet another strong attacker. I like this set over Breloom most definitely. Can go blow to blow to most used pokemon in Sandstorm teams. I found the damage calculations for this move set from here at Smogon:
Close Combat vs. max HP / Def Skarmory 84.4% - 99.7%
Close Combat vs. max HP / Def Bronzong: 95.2% - 100% (67% chance to OHKO)
Close Combat vs. max HP / Def Hippowdon: 75.7% - 89.3%
Close Combat vs. max HP / Def Forretress: 79.7% - 93.8%
Close Combat vs. max HP / Def Donphan: 82.0% - 96.9%
Crunch vs. max HP / Def Cresselia: 63.5% - 74.8%
Crunch vs. max HP Cresselia: 85.1% - 100% (2.6% chance to OHKO)
Crunch vs. max HP / Def Dusknoir: 88.4% - 100% (21% chance to OHKO)
Crunch vs. max HP / Def Celebi: 78.7% - 93.1%

Side Notes:
Well, that is my team. I do like it. If you honestly believe that Breloom could be replaced with something that can bring serious Feng-Shui to my team, please dont hesitate. If you do, however, please include everything for it. Please dont just say: "Put in Leafeon 'cuz you need a grass type." I honestly believe that the most ignorant of all clauses are the two clauses: Item, and SkarmBliss. This team is for raping the Serebii.net forums. And I obviously don't like them... read my name. One more quick comment. I've never made my team an all out attacking team. I enjoy supporting my other teammates immensely. As I've said before... Be Harsh!!! Constructive Criticism Only!!!
Edits to Side Notes:
Gliscor for Salamence, Starmie for Suicune, and Lucario for Breloom. I love the changes. Dangerous team. Keep the comments coming!!!
Secondary Edit to Side Notes:
I have switched Bliss for the Bulky as hell, Tyranitar.
