First RMT, be kind to this nooblet. XD

Hide

Metagross @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Explosion
- Trick
- Meteor Mash
- Stealth Rock

So yeah, he's my lead. He can Trick on slower pokemon (Which means anything that isn't scarfed), and proceed to set up stealth rocks on the switch. If I can't use Trick, or I have to switch for some reason, he can come in late or mid game as a very quick explosion or he can trick something else.

Skarmory (M) @ Shed Shell
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP/108 Spd/148 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Roost
- Spikes
- Taunt
- Whirlwind

Best spiker in the game, high defense, ect. He can taunt slower walls for a layer of free spikes on the switch. There really isn't much to say here... He has some EV's in SpD to sponge a hit or 2 to set up another layer of spikes or whirlwind the threat away.

Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/120 Def/136 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes
- Hydro Pump
- Sludge Bomb/Ice Beam?

So he is pretty much your standard Tentacruel. He is my Rapid Spinner and he sets up Toxic spikes of his own. This is actually the one pokemon I have been considering cutting from the team... I just haven't thought of anything to replace him with. I have also been considering using Ice Beam in place of Sludge Bomb.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Roar
- Stealth Rock

Again, he is a pretty standard Swampert. He Has stealth Rock in place of another attack because there have been times when I wasn't able to set it up with Metagross. Earthquake and Ice Beam hit everything, bar Bronzong, for at least neutral damage. So far he has been my main counter to any Dragon and T-Tar. He also gives my team a valuable Electric immunity if Rotom were to bite the dust.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 148 HP/252 Def/108 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave
- Wish

So, this thing not only walls all kinds of things, but it also provides paralysis and Wish support. This thing can also come in on almost any dragon and KO it with Ice Beam.

Rotom-w @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP/72 Def/188 Spd
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Sleep Talk
- Rest
- Thunderbolt
- Will-o-wisp

My Spin Blocker. He cripples any physical hitter and throws around burns to further support the team with free switches and extra residual damage. He can also easily come in on Gyarados and scare it away to make it lose its DD's or kill it on the spot if they decide not to switch. This guy also gives my team extra Electric resistance if they would be carrying a Grass Knot. I have been considering changing him out for PreparationRotom-H to deal with any of those pesky grass or steall types... Not to mention that it will help me if I were to be trapped by, let's say, a Weavile or Scizzor.

Hi. Very cool pictures.

Like most stall teams, it looks like you will have trouble with MixMence and Infernape late game, but you also have large Lucario weakness. You got nothing that can survive an attack from +2 Lucario. This would be why you should replace your Rotom with Rotom-H:

Rotom-H @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Timid / EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Thunderbolt / Overheat / Shadow Ball / Trick

With the given HP evs, Rotom-H can survive a Waterfall from Gyarados, outspeed and kill with Thunderbolt. Overheat will OHKO Lucario, and with its convenient typing, Extreme Speed is useless as is Close Combat. Rotom-H can also check Pokemon such as Calm Mind Latias, Jirachi, and Suicune by Tricking them and locking them into one move. Although it lacks a recovery move, you can still heal its health with Wish from Blissey. You lose pretty much no coverage against Scizor as Skarmory is a pretty perfect counter to the metal bug.

I really don't think you need two Stealth Rock users. If you are really that desperate to set it up, you will at least be able to sacrifice Metagross to get it up. With that boosted Speed I don't see you having a problem with that. You still could use a good Tyranitar counter, especially if Tyranitar has Fire Blast, which is why I think you should simply change your Swampert into a CursePert:

Swampert @ Leftovers
Nature: Careful / EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SpD
~ Curse / Waterfall / Rest / Sleep Talk

He still makes a decent check to Tyranitar, albeit you may want to bring in Skarmory on a Crunch as it can 2HKO if Tyranitar has a Choice Band. Curse to boost your Attack and Defense at the cost of some Speed and once you are powerful enough, not much can stand in your way. The other reason to use this Swampert is to utilize Rest and Sleep Talk to absorb status for your team. My final suggestions are simply to replace Hydro Pump on Tentacruel with Surf, as you could miss at a crucial time, such as against a +2 Infernape. I would also give Blissey Protect over Thunder Wave, as Toxic Spikes will poison many Pokemon Blissey would try to paralyze anyway. Protect is also very helpful in keeping Blissey healthy when you have Wish. Good luck.

I will go ahead and try out the Rotom, albeit, slightly different, since I was planning on doing it anyway.

The second SR has saved me on a few occasions... And I can take on Salamance pretty well with Swampert and, surprisingly enough, Blissey.

T-Tar is not much of a problem for Swampert as I can simply roar it out if I don't like what it is doing... The farthest I would go would be to maybe change SR to Brick Break... That would also allow me to hit everything for at least neutral with Swampert.

About taking T-Wave off of Blissey. I would rather take Tentacruel off my team... The Toxic spikes has yet to really do much for me other than be absorbed by everyone and their mother. T-Wave on the other hand has been nothing short of amazing. T-Waving on the Switch to completely disable whatever they bring in as their Blissey counter is great, especially the MixMence that you are so worried about.
