I think that as long as you are play-testing you should try out Zapdos instead of Porygon2. It really does combo well with Machamp. EV it to be specially defensive (so you can take STAB Draco Meteor) and you have very easily dealt with Salamence and Gyarados.

This may be stupid, but you might want to play around with the idea of going Adamant on your Swellow and giving it quick attack. The idea of pursuit outside of something with massive attack and STAB really doesn't appeal to me. Chances are, most other Swellows are Jolly so you risk speed tie if...

Zapdos. It tanks extremely well with Machamp, screws over Gyarados and as far as Salamence and Flygon counters, I advocate something other than Feraligatr. I don't buy into the whole "Feraligatr is better than Gyarados!!!1!!1!" argument.

Sad fact is, you see the majority of Tyranitars in lead. You have no weather changing influence, thus your Cresselia will most likely have largely ineffective moonlight. You might want to check me on this, but I'm fairly sure that such a thing will make it a little hard to take STAB Draco Meteors.

Just pointing out; but, with the prevalence of Tyranitar in the current metagame, Cresselia getting off a moonlight for 1/2 of her HP is quite the stretch. On that point, Cresselia has faded in popularity due to the number of CB Tyranitars and Scizors dish out much more SE pain than she can...

Team "Don't Mess Up" Basically, I've had this team sitting around for a while and thought really nothing of playing pokemon for quite some time. I played a while back and got interested again when Platinum came back. I'm some what of a noob to this whole posting thing as well as playing the...

Changing up your gyarados spread to a bulkydos might help if you do the EQ/Ice Fang/Taunt/DD. That might be able to deal with a chomp reasonably well, maybe take an outrage. You'd have to do damage calcs to check that because I am too lazy.

I really like your lead here, but I am a little worried about your zong. I don't have much experience with them, but aren't those EV's a little frail. I do like the idea of a dependable recovery move. Overall, well put together team.

Any other suggestions for this team?

And both of those are physical sweepers against whom you will be using gliscor or tangrowth to deal with. Gliscor is 4x SE and tangrowth 2x. Either way your physical walling is screwed. It's not like Lucario will be able to revenge kill them very easily either, anyone with any intelligence would...

Try ice beam on Boah.

I don't really like screech on electrode. It'll just force a switch and it isn't like electrode can do much working on a lower defense, considering it has special attacks.

You don't really have much stealth rock or spikes support which will help your team greatly. You might want to ditch SToss on Blissey for some other move, I have never found it too handy, though it can be useful sometimes. I really don't like your Tangrowth, I think the leech seed, sleep powder...

I'm going to be going with dark pulse, scratch what I said earlier.

Really? Oh, yeah, I guess with aura sphere I don't have to worry about normals.
