Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
About the only thing similar is Gliscor as the other two pokes we both use run different sets. I'm using Magnezone, because even though no Steels wall the team, some can totally rip apart my sweepers. For instance Scizor, non-CB, can come in and SD and tear apart T-tar and Empoleon before a set...
Flygon is on the team due to his resistance to EQ which was a huge problem for me. However Scizor might be more effective.
DD-Tar...I'm thinking Boah was more effective at the start as most pokemon took major damage from Boah at the start and nobody had a direct counter on it. Boah also might...
It honestly depends on the situation. DD-Gyara actually isn't a huge problem as much as I thought it would be. Gliscor will take it out provided Gyara switched in on a SD, Empoleon isn't going to take it out unless it suffered prior damage, and T-Tar can take it down IF it got a DD off. Getting...
This started with my old team I posted here. The changes have been so drastic though that I've only kept two of the same pokemon and changed one of those pokemon's sets. Because of this I consider it a new team entirely and use it as such.

Hilarity, Zapdos doesn't rape my team and I would know as there are a good few who like to use it.
Curse-Pert is RARE, but I see your point. The best I can do to counter this would be putting Roar on the Mixpert I'll be using, but SR tends to be more valuable for the entire opponents team...
UPDATE:
Electivire and Togetic have been removed for DD-Dra and Scarf-Flygon. I'll have the sets up after class.
If you know the sets off hand then tell me how you think the team looks.
I don't really think anyone would keep Swampert in on a Jolteon even if they think it might be a CS. Most Jolts I see are Sub or Sub-Peteya passers and unless you know otherwise a smart opponent won't try to tempt it. Jolts LO idea isn't bad, but ruining the surprise too soon will lead your...
MAJOR UPDATE!!!!
I've re-vamped the team almost completely in order to work myself up there. Here is a list:
Tentacruel has been removed
Miltank has been removed
Weavile has been removed
Machamp has been added(Lead)
Electivire has been added
Swampert has been added
I'm still playing around right now and have to say I haven't really noticed many people even using a competent lead pokemon. Ice Beam is being used over D-Meteor on Scarf-Nite and I'm not replacing it.
The most I have seen in leads is Yanmega and only once did someone lead with Infernape and it...
Scizor has been fine so far, it all comes down to a game of prediction. I generally won't leave my Scizor out to face them though as I have other counters. Mainly my weakness lies in my Weavile. I need something that can come in...My pokemon have hard times switching in: Weavile, Infernape, even...
Miltank can out-stall some annoying pokemon, set up SR, Heal Bell, and provide Para for the team.
It isn't just some inferior Blissey and has some great uses.
D-Nite has survived some pretty powerful Spec.Atks that would've taken out a Salamence though. I prefer using Dragonite and if I do want to set it apart from Salamence I can always use Ice Beam over D-Meteor.
Also people don't tend to see D-Nite coming. People always have their little counters...

This lead is amazing or incredibly bad. It depends on the opponent on how he does as some people use CB/CSp leads that come out of nowhere...
This Bulky-nite has the same feel as the Bulky-Gara only you use Roost over Taunt.
It's not like this set isn't possible to pull off, but there is a huge uproar of Ice moves being used, and most Bulky Waters have Ice Beam so they can counter this set-up easily.
Maybe if you brought this thing...
Most people who see BulkyGara usually send in something to hit me with an Electric move, because of this I am thinking of using Electivire.
I know I have an electric poke already, but Zapdos is a Passer and usually will die before he uses T-bolt unless it's unable to make a sub for me.
