[SET COMMENTS]
Syclant has the ability to tear through many of the most common walls in D/P. Compoundeyes provided Syclant with an extremely high power 99% accurate STAB in the form of Blizzard. Brick Break deals with Blissey and will 2HKO 90% of the time. Bug buzz provides a strong STAB that deals with many opponents. Substitute can be used if you do not want to risk mispredicting, which will often force Syclant to switch out. Those EV's give you the same Attack as a max Attack and Sp. atk Syclant with the trade off of 10% recoil from every attack, so all of these damage calcs still stand.
I would redo those calcs as some will do more damage it said that with a LO it will do equal OR more damage than plain max attack, and is it possible to get metalkid to add Syclant to the calc? It’s annoying to have a base attack 1 point off and having to switch Pokemon if you want to switch between phy. and sp. Superpower should be mentioned on this set as it can 2ko bliss with less attack evs, maybe say its a lesser option as you can't use it with earth power but if you go with sub it can work. Also say something about sub helping with Blissey switchins (sub on the T-wave).
If you can't provide Syclant with sufficient Rapid Spin support than it will die extremely soon with this set, so another option is to use the Mountaineer (the name is ICE SHELL not Mountaineer) ability and either run Ice Beam over Blizzard or use Abomasnow's hail to create a 100% Acc Blizzard.
Maybe more like:
If this set does not have sufficient rapid spin support, it will soon fall to passive damage. To combat this you can use ice shell over compoundeyes, but only do this if you use an Abomnasnow to set up hail or switch to the significantly weaker ice beam.

This is a full physical version of Syclant. It's attack reaches astronomical levels after a Swords Dance. Ice Shard takes care of anything that thinks it can switch in on the Swords Dance and outspeed for a KO. Ice Punch provides a more reliable Ice STAB.
Add this:
Fire fang, Thunder fang, Stone edge, Night slash or Shadow claw could be used over Brick Break / U-Turn. Fire fang dents forry, who would other wise wall you, after a SD. Thunder fang is your best bet against Gyarados. Stone edge (or Rock slide if you don’t like the poor accuracy and want to take advantage of the flinch chance) has great coverage and can 1KO some Pokemon you would otherwise have problems with Pokemon after a SD. Night slash or Shadow claw can beat down Dusknoir and bulky psychics. Superpower is not an option on this set as the attack drop conflicts with sword dance.

This set has the ability to do massage damage to most of the OU metagame, provided you predict right. If you run the low accuracy Blizzard and Focus Blast then use the Compound Eyes ability with heavy Rapid Spin support, as Syclant wants to have the ability to switch in and out freely with this set. If you don't want such a high-maintenance Poke than using Super Power and Ice beam (and change Compoundeyes to ice shell) allows you to still dent Blissey and also be immune to SR. Keep in mind that both Super Power and Focus Blast are unable to 2HKO without SR.
[Other Options]
Stone Edge is a good option for dealing with the likes of Moltres and Articuno. Super Power is unable to 1HKO Blissey even with max Attack, so isn't of much note other than on the Choice Specs set. Thunder Fang and Earth Power will 1HKO Gyarados and Heatran respectively, but don't be tempted to use them on anything that isn't 4x weak as STAB Blizzard or Bug Buzz will usually do more (I added them to the SD set as it does not have blizzard). Most of the time its incredibly overpowered STABs will cover it better than a single attack that hits Super Effective against a certain Poke. Choice Band and Scarf are also options if you don't want to have to set up your Physical sweeper, but Syclant isn't build for repeated switchins. Choice Scarf makes it a decent lead. I agree but I think will write a CS and a CB set anyway and maybe maybe a F-sash set?
[EVs]
Neutral Natured Syclant with max Attack is never guaranteed to 1HKO Blissey with Break, but 200 EVs (and a life orb) Provide a very reasonable chance and a guaranteed KO with SR in play (say how many ev's are required for a 2KO on Blissey with LO Superpower). Any EVs Leftover from your main form of offence should go into Speed (i would say max speed first). Always make sure that Syclant can survive two switch ins to SR if it must. This means NEVER give it four hp EVs. Either eight or none. Unless you use ice shell.
Maybe write something about + speed V + sp./attack, what does it outspeed?
[Opinion]
Syclant can tear through some of D/P's prestige walls, but is extremely high maintenance. If you can keep Syclant in good condition then it will be a great asset to your team.
This is very short; you/we can do better than this.
[Counters]
Infernape can come in on Blizzards and Bug buzz's and threaten with Mach Punch. Tentacruel is a good overall counter, but like Infernape dies if Syclant is carrying Earth Power. Articuno and Moltres also wall basically every Syclant set, unless it has Stone Edge (NOT true. They take neutral from blizzard and are outspeeded). If the Specs set is being run then Blissey is a good counter (say that it can switch in on blizzard survive a BB and T-wave, though it would lose alot of health a it is 2KO'd most of the time by BB and Superpower can easily 2KO). Priority moves, or Pokemon that outspeed Syclant can deal very heavy damage to it once they get in. The SD/CB sets are countered by skarm, and many other good phy. walls. If duggy can get in and ether it is scarfed or running a + speed nature while syclant is not it can trap and KO with stone edge.
Syclant relies on both having extremely powerful and accurate STAB moves and immunity to SR to survive. Taking either one of these away will weaken it significantly. If it is running the Compound Eyes ability then getting down SR and preventing it from being spun away will stop Syclant in it's tracks. If Syclant is using Abomasnow's hail for 100% Acc Blizzard then your own weather changer will hinder it slightly greatly not slightly.
Ok guys, please help me fix this up a bit, and feel free to make suggestions, help fix my grammar, etc, etc. It's all appreciated.
