Hm... is Choice Specs Shedinja worth a try?

Poppin

Alakazam @Focus Sash
Hasty Nature
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP

-Psychic
-HP Ice
-Encore
-Counter

This is still my starter, why? Because, it works so well. HP Ice takes out Mence leads when they try to kill off Kazam. Tyranitar leads cause Alakazam use a kamikaze strategy- Counter in the ST while Tyranitar Pursuits, once the Sash activates, Kazam will go down at the end of the turn.

Metagross @Life Orb
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 32 SpA / 120 Spe / 104 Atk

-Grass Knot
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
-Rock Polish

A new breed of AgiliGross. For some reason, Swampert and Hippowdon seem to get a free switch in whenever I have a RP under my belt. A minimum of 32 Special Attack EVs are needed to OHKO Pert and 2KO Hippo.

Jirachi @Leftovers
Impish Nature
EVs: 240 HP / 56 Atk / 76 Def / 136 Spe

-U-Turn
-Wish
-Thunder/Secret Power
-Zen Headbutt

Eh, just the standard support Jirachi. Seeing as how I have a LO Metagross and Alakazam- who can still be useful after its Sash is gone- by healing their HP. In order to make up for replacing Mesprit, Jirachi has Thunder to put a dent in Skarmory and also support with parahax. Secret Power offers the same thing as Thunder can, but, more reliable accuracy and Skarm can wall it.

Shaymin @Leftovers
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe / 4 SpA

-Leech Seed
-Substitute
-Seed Flare
-HP Fire

The standard SubSeeder Shaymin, I could use Celebi, but, Shaymin is just my favorite pokemon. :D

Donphan @Leftovers
Impish Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk

-Earthquake
-Ice Shard
-Rapid Spin
-Roar

Basicly my spinner and Phazer. Standard set and EV Spread, so, there's nothing else to explain, really.

Gliscor @Leftovers
Impish Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def

-Earthquake
-Aerial Ace
-Stealth Rock
-Roost

Okay, I have no ground immunity, a Hera counter or anything that can avoid Spikes/Toxic Spikes, so Gliscor will have do do.​

Threat List:
Azelf- Mesprit can cripple it and U-Turn into something that can finish it off.
Breloom- Shaymin puts up a Sub, preventing Spore as well as scouting for Breloom's next move. It can hit back with HP Fire.
Celebi- Shaymin's HP Fire puts a dent in it, Metagross can take it out with Meteor Mash.
Dragonite- Honestly, this thing is too surprising, it's unknown what it'll do. Kazam can Encore any DDs and I can switch into Mesprit or Donphan.
Dugtrio- Mesprit, Donphan, Shaymin and Alakazam can take it out.
Electivire- For non- HP Ice variants, Donphan takes it out. Metagross should be able to take a LO EQ/Flamethrower, so, I can consider it a revenge killer. Other than that, I have no "solid" counter.
Gallade- Shaymin absorbs status with Substitutes and it's only a matter of time unitl Seed Flare's Special Defense drop finally kicks in.
Garchomp- No counter... yet. Alakazam (if its Sash han't been used up) can switch in and OHKO with HP Ice.
Gengar- Jirachi for some reason can come in safely on Scarfed versions. Other than that, I have basicly no counter for it. ONly revenge kills with Kazam work.
Gyarados- Mesprit's bulky ass gets in and says "fuck you" to Gyara with Thunderbolt.
Heatran- Metagross has to pray it can take a Fire Blast from it. Other than that, nothing.
Heracross- Metagross... <.<. No shit. Kazam can also take it out with Psychic.
Infernape- I can only revenge kill it. Damn monkey.
Jirachi- Metagross and Shaymin can deliver the pain to it with their SE moves.
Lucario- Meta can take whatever the (Pwnsome Brawling) puppy can dish out at it and hit back with Earthquake.
Machamp- Barring a few Bulk Ups, Jirachi can take what it tosses at it and hax it to death with Zen Headbutt.
Magnezone- Meta outspeeds and kills it.
Metagross- Donphan hits it with Earthquake and takes a Meteor Mash like a man <.<.
Porygon-Z- Metagross takes its Thunderbolts and Dark Pulses and OHKOs with Meteor Mash.
Salamence- Read Alakazam's comments.
Togekiss- Metagross delivers the pain with Meteor Mash and Donphan takes it out with Ice Shard- which is a 4KO <.<. Okay, I have nothing that can take it out in one blow, avoiding a potential Thunder Wave.
Tyranitar- Metagross/Meteor Mash, Donphan/Earthquake.
Weavile- Who's the pokemon on my team who's neutral to all its attacks and can OHKO it easily?
Zapdos-Jirachi cripples it and Headbutts that bird into its grave.
 
Do you even know what a Counter is? Just because you have Substitute on Shaymin does not make it a counter to anything you list that as a counter to. Shaymin will not switch into Breloom, set up a Substitute, then get Breloom to wait to take the Hidden Power. That makes no sense at all.

Anyways

Most Tyranitars are scared of Focus Blast, so I don't think that Alakazam will work.

And the team is easily bait for simple Skarmory+Ghost, which will surely rape Donphan. The best way to fix this is probably to add anti Skarmory measures in here. For example, using Thunder(bolt) on Jirachi, which can also paralyze, and hurt the shit out of Skarmory. Switch to the more traditional 3 Attack+Trick+Choice Specs Alakazam. Hurts the shit out of anything, or fuck up Blissey as well.

Also I'd probably also replace Mesprit with Gliscor, as Heracross seems to rapes shit like no other. It also helps with the whole Garchomp team, and still sets up Stealth Rocks.

That addition might hurt the Gyarados thing, but with extra electric move on Jirachi, and potential Thunderpunch on Metagross (Remember anti Skarmory here), you'd have it covered for the most part.
 
Alright, thanks, I've made some changes.

EDIT: I was hoping for Breloom to use Seed Bomb on the switch. <_<
 
I used to run that same Metagross. I am not in agreement on Shaymin, as a Celebi would offer a much needed fighting resist. Machamp/Gallade run right through your team:( Maybe a Weezing>Gliscor since you already have a bulky ground.
 
I came in hoping to see some kind of Shedinja and was very dissapointed.

Jirachi and Metagross our redundant as they share the same type and give you a bigger heatran weak as gorm said. And Donphan and gliscor also add on to a weakness to him and boah perhaps. I think this team isn't very threatening and shares too many types. I think Gengar does Zams job 10x better. Just run shadow ball / hypnosis / counter / destiny bond. You lack attack power so I would run specsshaymin and maybe BandGross as well as ditching donphan and jirachi for some better support and bulky pokemon like heatran and starmie.
