Yet I've not lost a battle? I'm more than capable of taking care of Deoxys, Salamence, or any other fast sweeper, and I have taken care of them countless times.

Hmmm, I quite like Technician Scizor running Occa Berry. Or a Subsalacscizor.

Hmmm, Metagross is rarely seen in late-game IMO, I come across all kinds of Lucario a lot, but Luke does make a tremendous late-game sweeper.

You get Outrage off Move Tutor in Platinum right? In that case, I might dl the Jap version and trade it over and stuff. Lucario's quite good with Agility, but I'd like something that was stronger.

Ah yeah, I could run some more HP EVs on Sala. Does Metagross make a good late-game sweeper? I can see him picking weak things off with a Bullet Punch, and mullering things with EQ and STAB Meteor Mash. He's also fairly bulky.

Dyou think I should run the same set as Garchomp on him, but with DD instead? Also, what about agility Scizor with Occa Berry?

I've done some battling with my team as it is, and it's been fine. Not come across a Skarmory yet. I need a replacement for Garchomp though. :(

But sometimes, most Pokemon are weakened, so Outrage should be able to hit them all fairly well, no? I suppose I could run Dragon Claw, as it stops me from being walled by steels. I can get a free SD with the Yache Berry. Does that mean I could keep Fire Fang? It'll hit harder after an SD.

Is Fire Fang needed on Garchomp? Skarmorys are usually taken care of by the time I send him out. Also, is Hidden Power Fire needed to kill Skarmory if I've got Moltres? I assume the opponent would switch when faced with Moltres, but the Venusaur thing is quite surprising.

It wasn't HP fighting that gave me problems on Cress, it was Ice Beam. I managed to counter it with Suicune though, so it's not really much of a problem for me. I did consider Lanturn, though I prefer Suicune over it because it has better defenses.

A fresh Suicune can hit it with HP electric, and survive an unboosted thunderbolt, and Venusaur can survive an Ice Beam while attempting to sleep it.

I've always found a way to counter most Pokemon using Ice attacks. Cresselia's mainly a problem, but I just switch out for Suicune and roar it away as it sets up.

Alright, I've had a lot of success with this team, I just wanna see if I could improve this somehow. I also need a new late-game sweeper. My fiery lead Moltres @ Choice Scarf Modest : Pressure EVs: 40 Def / 252 SpA / 216 Spe - U-turn - Will-o-Wisp - Overheat - Air Slash My favourite...

You might wanna run some extra EVs in HP or either Defense for Salamence, or make him hold a Yache Berry, otherwise you're probably screwed if you attempt to DD and heal up.

Bump after 24 hours, not 30 minutes. I wouldn't recommend using half of your main sweeping force as a lead. Keep Protect on Vaporeon, it helps it scout Choice items. I wouldn't bother investing 252 EVs in SpA for Blissey. Your team's also fairly slow, I recommend you get rid of Machamp...
