Aerodactyl
@Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 HP/6 ATT/252 SPEED
Purpose: PP Drainer/Annoyer
>Substitute
>Protect
>Rock Slide
>Fly

Aerodactyl is never really thought of as a tank-ish Pokemon, but this set actually works very well! The point is to drain the opponent's PP of moves like Stone Edge, Draco Meteor, Water Spout (etc)... Sub/Protecting provides time for the Leftovers to work and Fly stalls even more. Rock Slide for the good chance of flinch and a nice STAB move. Very annoying and very effective!

Swellow
@Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 6 HP/252 ATT/252 SPEED
Purpose: Phys Sweeper
>Protect
>Facade
>Brave Bird
>Quick Attack

Typical Swellow- Protect first, then sweep away as long as it moves first. U-turn if it can't handle something.

Jolteon
@Focus Sash
Ability: Volt Absorb
Nature: Timid
EVs: 6 HP/252 SP ATT/252 SPEED
Purpose: Spec Sweeper
>Thunderbolt
>HP Grass
>Wish
>Baton Pass

Super fast and good sp attack. Use Tbolt for STAB and HP Grass for Swampert or Rhyperior. Focus Band keeps it alive one extra turn and provides time for Wish/Baton Pass if things get rough.

Cresselia
@Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 DEF/6 SP ATT
Purpose: Phys Tank
>Ice Beam
>Charge Beam
>Rest
>Sleep Talk

This set can last for quite a long time. Boost special attack and just go to sleep whenever inflicted with a status or injured.

Clefable
@Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/152 DEF/102 SP DEF
Purpose: Tank/Status Switch-in
>Flamethrower/Ice Beam
>Cosmic Power
>Wish
>Protect

Even though it has unimpressive stats, this thing can be an absolute beast after a few Cosmic Powers. Wish/Protect to stay alive and Flamethrower/Ice Beam to attack and no worries from Taunting.

Glaceon
@Choice Scarf
Ability: Snow Cloak
Nature: Timid
EVs: 6 HP/252 SP ATT/252 SPEED
Purpose: Surprise Spec Sweeper
>Ice Beam
>HP Fighting
>Shadow Ball
>Blizzard

The Choice Scarf catches a lot of opponents off-guard, and provides Glaceon w/ a nice speed of 377, outrunning anything with a base speed of 120 or less. HP Fighting is helpful for steels and Shadow Ball for Slowbro. Blizzard is somewhat of a filler in case it is hailing.
 
Honestly, don't go with that aero. It makes you very easy to set up on. Agilligross will welcome the free turns it has to set up against that thing, and could do a hell of a lot of damage to your entire team. Go with the standard, or just change your lead to something else.
 
know what you're saying...

I totally know what you are saying about stat boosters while my Aeropressure is stalling. I've had it happen before and it's not pretty at all. I'm thinking about keeping it standard, or switching with an Ambipom. Also, I have grown to hate Blissey, so I'm switching her for a nice Clefable.
 
Yea, while the Pressure stall Aero can work well against some leads, it leaves you very vulnerable to stat uppers, and you probably don't need them getting those moves in so early in the match.
You could make him standard, or you could lead w/ Jolteon. Leading w/ Jolteon is also nice because you don't have to worry about S-rocks or any Spikes ruining your sash.
On a separate note, Cresselia is the only poke on your team that can take strong fighting attacks, and it falls to Heracross' Megahorn. Because of this I suggest adding Gliscor, who of course walls Heracross all day long, and also comes w/ quite a few support moves, one of them being Stealth Rocks.
 
Yeah...i agree, Aero has good days and bad days. nice tip on the Gliscor...I'll definitely keep it in mind.

I'm open to any other suggestions!
 
I like the idea of a annoyer Aerodactyl, but IMO Fly isn't a great move to stall with- it leaves it much too easy to set up on you the turn you're in the air. I'd suggest (seeing as Aero is your lead) Whirlwind over Fly to let you get rid of the leads you don't want to be up against, as well as adding some much needed PHazing to your team.
 
True, the whirlwind is a very good idea! I had not thought of that - sub while opponent boosts stats, then force the switch.
