Hey there.

Volt-Turn cores can cause this team problems. Latios isn't bulky enough to take Bullet Punch from Scizor very well, and can be easily KO'd after prior damage. Nothing else on your team can really take Rotom-W on 1 on 1, so this becomes a major problem. An easy way to fix this is to run a Calm Mind Latias over Latios. The majority of your team is bulky regardless, so this change wouldn't be too much of a problem. The entry hazard support your team has means that the power drop isn't a large issue either. Latias has access to Recover and higher base Defense, meaning it can easily dispatch of Volt-Turn cores with Hidden Power Fire + Dragon Pulse. It can also be a very good late-game sweeper with Calm Mind, and still retains the synergy that Latios provided.

Latias @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spe
Timid nature
-Calm Mind
-Dragon Pulse
-Hidden Power Fire
-Recover

Also, run Hidden Power Ice over Hidden Power Grass on Heatran. This allows Heatran to score surprise kills on the likes of Dragonite, who can otherwise deal much more damage to your team. Water-types are still hit decently hard by Earth Power, and the likes of Gastrodon can be easily crippled by Toxic Spikes.

Very solid team. Hope I helped, and good luck!
 
I'm wary of removing HP grass, as it is my only way of dispatching Rotom-W after Latios dies. The Latias, however, is a great idea. Adding Heatran with HP Ice and replacing Ice Beam on Mew would allow me to run Psychic, giving me my much needed Conkeldurr buster.
Thanks, the suggestions look just what this team needed!
Added info: Hmm, HP Ice would make me lose the speed tie on Timid Heatran, which could possibly be troublesome. Going to need a little testing.

nope. You can just run 30 Attack and Defense EVs and keep 31 Speed IVs. That also gives you 70 Base Power HP Ice.

By no negative feedback, I mean that after over 2 months, not one person has ever said something along the lines of 'this team is terrible'.

You are just a bundle of good tips, aren't you? Thanks!
 
I haven't been playing Pokemon in a while, so I figured I might as well bump the thread and get some issues fixed. It's looking a little outdated.

I'll be focusing on finishing up the threat list and updating a few outdated things, and perhaps make this a final version and retire it.
 
just a little nitpick but i would suggest u change the hp evs on dragonite from 252 evs to 248 to give it an odd number. it also allows you to put 4 more evs somewhere else perhaps in speed to speed creep other bulky dd nites.
 
As I have no need to play Pokemon anymore, I decided to make this version final and entirely free to use for anything one would like to use it for. I'm going to add ScoobyDoom's suggestion and that's all I will update on it.

Thanks everyone for the help on the team, I really appreciate it!

Later,
KKT
