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.
Forgive me for theorymoning, but I imagine something such as a Shuckle w/ Encore/Toxic/Rest/Double Team would be very annoying. It's the best mixed wall under sandstorm and it can just stall out PP/toxic stall so easily, and you can encore set uppers or people trying to taunt you (dear god taunt...
If things are 2HKOing with like a max damage of 60% being boosted, I somehow highly doubted 'Physsey' is 2HKOed by a non boosted attack (not sure about the SE attacks as I have can't find my calc). Blissey ends all their sweeps with an easy T-wave.
Anyway no point in theorymoning.
Steinhauser you do realise, most of the things you listed would be beaten by 'Physsey', Physsey would just paralyse and then softboil stall/ice beam/seismic toss. There's also a lack of nasty plotters and durability among special sweepers which leads to the decline of special sweepers.
What do people use for offensive teams against zapdos? The current ground types are very meh and electivire is just lol. Tyranitar wouldn't fit on my team very well, jolteon might do good but I seriously need help.
Is there a point to HP Ice on shaymin? Doesn't air slash 2HKO dragons? As it says for moltres in the analysis on it and shaymin has higher spa so I assume.
I've seen an increasing amount of anti-leads, so I decided to use one and I have concluded that Ninjask is by far the best one.
Ninjask vs Bronzong = You sub at first which is good if they set up SR or try to sleep you, if they gyro ball you, just get to 50% and BP out to something that can...
I use Moltres to counter Lucario. I'm pretty sure it can take a LO SD CC or Crunch and stealth rock damage. I'm not sure but I think I've seen it once in my games, I THINK.
I was thinking specific Starmie sets when I had that in mind such as the recover/rapid spin or reflect/recover sets.
Edit: So Starmie could still counter infernape as well and could go down with a fight again pursuit users such as Tyranitar.
