After quite a bit of lurking around this bord and some others, and finally getting shoddy to work, i made a team and tested it out a bit, so without furthur ado here they are
The Team At A Glance:

St Valentine
Roserade [F] @ choice scarf
Natural Cure
Timid EV's 252 SpAt / 252 Spe / 6Hp
~HP [Ice]
~Leaf Storm
~Sleep Powder
~Toxic Spikes

the new 'fast sleep' now hypnosis accuracy has fallen and gengar isn't using it. 90% of the time it gets them i put them to sleem starght away. The other 10% i get a OHKO of pokes such as swampert and salamence.
Would be alot better if it wasnt choiced.(is there an item that increases speed without choice?)

leaf storm is the main attack, seems to do preety good
HP ice is for all the dragons, if they pop up its pretty much a OHKO
Toxic Spikes for extra residual damage along side Infernapes SR

Draco
Salamence [M] @ Life orb
Intimidate
Naive EV's 82Atk / 179 spe / 252 SpAt
~Earthquake
~Flamethower
~Outrage
~Dracometeor

Standard MixMence.

Outrage and Draco Meteor hit both ends of the spectrum for massive damage and on the one poke, its almost unstoppable. Salamence is my main attacker. Flamethower, Earthquake and Outrage/Dracometeor can hit anything for at least neutral damage. Many people have switched in scizor after an outrage finishes, only to be flamethowered to death.

Fratenity
Gengar [F] @ Leftovers
Levitate
Modest EV's 252 SpAt / 252Spe / 6HP
~Substitue
~Focus Blast
~Shadow Ball
~HP [Fire]

love this set. With gengars plethora of immunities and resistences, it can switch in on alot, Substitute as they switch in scizor and HP fire it off the map. Shadow Ball and focus blast for a reliable STAB attack and good coverage.

Cressie
Cressela [F] @ leftovers
Levitate
Calm EV's 252Hp / 200 Def / 56 SpDef
~Rest
~Sleep Talk
~Ice Beam
~Thunder Wave

Rest-Talk cresselia, this babe got me out of many stcky situations. She can Take many hits, and then simply rest back up to full health. ice beam is my attacking move. Rest off any damage and sleep talk a whole lot thunderwaves, paralysing everything, Wake up and ice beam or switch to a sweeper

Lava Girl
Heatran [F] @Choice specs
Flash Fire
Modest EV's 40HP / 252 SpAt / 216
~Fire Blast
~HP [Grass]
~Earth power
~Dragon Pulse

It Heatran can receive a flash fire boost he is almost unstoppable. Fire blast is the main move and after the boost is amazingly powerful. Earth Power and Dragon Pulse for great type coverage along side Fire Blast. HP Grass to kill the bulky waters that think they can ket a free kill.
---

Dropped Tyranitar for Infernape because Sand stream was hindering more than helping.
Toxic spikes on Roserade for residual damage
Thunder Wave on Cresselia for sweeper support
Some Major Threats/Problems:

dpffa469.png

Yanmega's Speed boost causes problems for this team. if he doesnt lead, stealth rocks negates focus sash and deals massive damage. just have to hope i can deal a hit.
dpffa242.png

BLissey only poses a major threat if salamence anf TTar are down and out. It completely walss my team. GEngars focus blast does some damage but she just keeps wishing it off.
Infernape is my answer for this b****. Close combat is a OHKO

dpffa212.png

Scizor. If they send him out on any poke other than gengar, salamence is my only poke that stands a good chance against this guy. He can OHKO gengar with Bullet punch unless gengars out there and subed, in which case scizor dies. Roserade takes a fair bit of damage from him, if it doesnt OHKO and TTar is weak to BP.Not nearly as much of a threat now infernapes made the cut. two fire pokemon and two others that have fire moves.

Conclusion

Most of the team are female to stop the rivalry bonus for nidoking and the like. this team covers each others Weaknesses really well. 3 pokemon are mmune to ground to cover Infernape and Heatrans weakness to it. 4 other attack types have a pokemon immune to it and all other types have multiple pokemon resistant to it.

If they lead with a fire pokemon however, i switch to heatran to get the flash fire boost.

Life orb+ Sand storm+ Stealth rock+ Substitute damage is too much for a Gengar to handle so use leftovers.

Rest-Talk cresselia, this babe got me out of many stcky situations. SHe can Take many hits, and then simply rest back up to full health. charge beam can increase special attack and ice beam can kill alot, especially with the boost. Rest off any damage and sleep talk a whole lot of SpAtk boosts, Wake up and wreak havok

Big Me
Tyranitar [F] @ Choice Band
Sand Stream
Adamant EV's 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 SpDef
~Crunch
~Pursuit
~Aqua tail
~Stone Edge

Can take a hit and give em back. doesnt always do a good as i would like though. i think this is because of scizor and his weakness to bullet puch and Tyranitars abysmil speed.

If scizor has already been dealt with, however or they don't have one Tyranitar has little to fear that he cant deal with.

Stone Edge and cruch are two great STAB moves with resonable coverage. Pursuit catches Azelf and other Psychics before they can flee. And EQ for great coverage.

Aqua tail so you don't get walled by Hippowdon


Some Major Threats/Problems:

dpffa469.png

Yanmega's Speed boost causes problems for this team. SWitch in tyranitar, his sand stream negates focus sash and stone edge would be able to kill him, but it either misses or yanmega kills TTar OHKO before you can blink.

dpffa242.png

Blissey only poses a major threat if salamence and TTar are down and out. It completely walss my team. Gengars focus blast does some damage but she just keeps wishing it off.

He can OHKO gengar with Bullet punch unless gengars out there and subed, in which case scizor dies. Roserade takes a fair bit of damage from him, if it doesnt OHKO and TTar is weak to BP.

Conclusion

Most of the team are female to stop the rivalry bonus for nidoking and the like. this team covers each others Weaknesses really well. 3 pokemon are mmune to ground to cover Tyranitar and Heatrans weakness to it. 5 other attack types have a pokemon immune to it and all other types have multiple pokemon resistant to it.

Consider T-Wave over Charge Beam/Ice Beam on Cresselia, so you can help your sweepers more efficiently. Also, consider Stealth Rock/Spikes/T-Spikes somewhere on your team, or else Leftovers Pokemon could be bluffing Choice Items since you can't see whether they're using Leftovers or not because they haven't taken any damage. Although, you can slightly spot the difference between the damage, and possibly the speed. So, you should have some way to disable the opponent somehow.

T-Tar's SS hurts the rest of your team, so consider Infernape over T-Tar.

Just my two cents.
 
"T-Tar's SS hurts the rest of your team"

yeah i agree, this actually lost me a battle, and i would have won.
not sure if infernape is the right substitute though, 3 pokemon will have a weakness to psychic, ill test it out though.

might try an infernape with SR

IMO, T-Spikes is something that every Roserade should carry. Even if you don't consider Infernape, atleast put T-Spikes. But nowadays, with Lum Berry on many leads and most leads being Steels, from my battles anyways, Infernape would be the better lead. Use SR, Close Combat, Fire Blast/Overheat, and U-Turn or Taunt (not sure if it get it or not, forgot) with either Focus Sash or Leftovers, Sash is better, so you can 2HKO Sash Gross.

Fire Monkey
Infernape[F] @ Focus Sash
Blaze
Naive EV's 252 SpA / 196 Spe / 64 Atk
~Stealth Rock
~Close Combat
~Fake Out
~Fire Blast

U-turn is near useless if you return to the field on 1 HP, only to die from Stealth Rock. Fake Out, on the other hand, is invaluable. It allows you to render your opponent's Focus Sash useless whilst keeping your own. At the very least, it's a free source of damage.

The EVs have been shifted to SpA. Despite two physical attacks, Fire Blast is your main damage dealing attack. This is because after Focus Sash kicks in, Fire Blast receives a Blaze boost.

Changed the EVs. You have the same stats, but the old EVs were illegal. Their total was 513.
