CB Slaking
-Giga Impact
-Earthquake
-Thunderpunch
-Shadow Claw

Suggestions for coverage? (don't say anything about Giga Impact, I have my reasons for using it over Return)
 
On CB Slaking, run Return over Giga Impact. If you use Giga Impact, then you can't switch out, allowing yourself to get WoWed or get set up on by a faster poke.

Other than that, the set seems rather okay
 
I've had my Pokerus not disappear for a few days on more than one Pokemon. I'm not convinced it'll definetely wipe it at midnight, there's probably a certain chance involved.

Well, I specifically addressed Return vs Giga Impact in my post (I have no idea how you missed that...)

How is the set's coverage? Normal/Ground/Ghost is resisted by... Skarmory that I can think of, which is covered by Thunderpunch (which also takes out Gyarados). But the main problem is only what I can think of, so there's a chance that I've missed something here.

It's totally countered by any Pokemon with Protect. xD
 
Is there any real point to leveling up to lv. 100 other than bragging rights? I know the Battle Tower only goes up to 50, and I know that in (some, at least) Wi-Fi battles, levels can be automatically raised...but I'm not too sure about that.
 
No pokemon type is Hypnosis immune.

Also, there's no real point in leveling up to 100 anymore, unless you're bored (like me), like to level grind (like me) or battle using Wireless (Not WiFi) a lot. Plus, I love seeing my EV's kick in, and getting +63 points when I level up.
 
There is no real reason to level up to 100. You can always EV Train the pokemon and set it to level 100 on Wi-Fi, so no real reason there.

Focus Punch or Fury Swipes in the fourth slot. Focus Punch will hit Skarmory just as hard as the elemental punches, and does twice as much to anything neutral. Fury Swipes lets you molest anything trying to use Substitute to take advantage of your Truancy, as long as they don't resist normal. (Things like Jolteon or Ninjask.)

Well actually there is a point. For some dumb reason (GO GAMEFREAK!) Wireless battles don't offer an "auto-level up" option. Well you and your neighbors could agree upon a lower level, say, 50, but of course there's a problem if you need a move or evolution at higher than that... (ex. Umbreon learns Moonlight at 71)
