OK people I always wanted to build a team around my fave Houndoom!
So here it is:

crobat.png
@Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EV's: 6 hp, 252 att, 252 speed
Nature: Jolly
-U-Turn
-Hypnosis
-Ariel Ace
-Taunt

Crobat is a great lead. Lum for Zong's without Gyro Ball. Taunt to stop SR, Hypnosis and status. AA if I could do damage or U-turn to hurt Azelf and switch to a countor.

@Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EV's: 6 hp, 252 att, 252 speed
Nature: Jolly
-Mach Punch
-Swords Dance
-Spore
-Seed Bomb

Breloom the awesome mushroom-ish kangaroo fighter thing. ES>Poison Heal because Lefties has same HP gain. Thunder Punch Gyrados that think I can't do anything to them and DD. SD 'cause it's awesome. Takes out Houndoom's ground, rock and water weakness.

@Life Orb
Ability: Oblivios
EV's: 252 hp, 252 att, 6 speed
Nature: Adamant
-Ice Shard
-Ice Fang
-EQ
-Stone Edge

My sleep absorber. Why? You can't put it to sleep. Brave because it's not going to outrun anything anytime soon. He is just awesome and says bye dragons. 1st dragon counter.

@Leftovers
Ability: Marvel Scale
EV's: 152 hp, 230 Spatt, 128 Spadef
Nature: Modest
-Sleep Talk
-Rest
-Surf
-Ice Beam

My wall. She takes hits like a pro and KO's back. Sha yells Garchomp and OHKO's chomp. Even the free uber: yache chomp. An awesome annoyer. Recover for recovery.

@Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EV's: 252 hp, 252 att, 6 speed
Nature: Adament
-EQ
-Thunder Punch
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion

Meta is awesome. His 1st three moves hits everything for nuetrual damage. He is meant to take hits and KO back. This thing is a monster mid game.

And the star of the show:

@Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
Ev's: 6 hp, 252 Spatt, 252 speed
Nature: Timid
-Nasty Plot
-HP {Fighting}
-Fire Blast
-Dark Pulse

I run a special set due to the mgority of my team physical. Nasty Plot on a switch then sweep. Says hi to dragons then kills them. It's speed is: 317. low but I don't care. He is awesome. Comes out end game after special wall is gone and team is weakened.

Threat List:

SD Lucario: It set's up then sweeps.

Resttalk Cressilia: That fuckin' bitch. It PP stalls me and I die.

Changes are in red.
Thank you all. Now hear are some cookies.
 
Poison Heal over Effect Spore for Breloom since, when Toxic Orb is active, Breloom will get twice the HP recovery of Leftovers (1/8 against 1/16), will still recover a little in Sandstorm and Hail, and will become immune to Burn, Paralysis and Sleep. Focus Punch over Brick Break and Spore over Thunder Punch.

Mamoswine can be put to sleep (Oblivious prevents Attract, not sleep). Adamant for Mamoswine's nature (not using Special Attacks).

Adamant for Metagross (not using Special Attacks). EVs for him are 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 Spe. Explosion as a suicide move, Stealth Rock doesnt fit with the offensive set.

Milotic wants Rest-Talk over Hypnosis-Recover so it can activate Marvel Scale and be a real sleep absorber (Hypnosis is overkill with Crobat and Breloom).

Overall, this team doesn't have any HUGE defensive weakness, but its lack of offensive power will give Houndoom a hard time to sweep. Its to defensively weak to be a stall team and lacks offensive power to be an offensive team.

You got 4 EVs to spare for Breloom and Mamoswine.

He can't have Poison heal because of Thunder Punch.
 
OK thank you all. But I need Thunder Punch to counter Gyra. I will edit.
Should I replace Crobat for this?

Jolteon@Choice Specs
Ability: Volt Absorb
EV's: 6 hp, 252 Spatt, 252 speed
Nature: Timid
-T-Bolt
-Shadow Ball
-T-Wave
-HP {Grass}

And make Breloom a lead.
 
I see a slight DD Tyranitar weakness. Basically it sets up on Houndoom then proceeds to OHKO everything on your team except Breloom...

+1 Attack LO Stone Edge against Milotic = 107.86% - 127.10% damage.
+1 Attack LO Stone Edge against Breloom = 75.48% - 88.89% damage. (Make sure you'd get a free switch-in or else you're dead meat)

Simply add Mach Punch over Brick Break and you got yourself a decent kill on Tyranitar and possibly a revenge killer for the likes of Aerial Ace Dugtrio or even SD Cario if it decides to Close Combat instead of Extremespeed unaware of Mach Punch.

Add Ice Fang over Avalanche on Mamoswine, and LO over Leftovers for that extra kick.

I don't see Meteor Mash on Metagross. You'll need it against Cresselia, I'd replace Ice Punch for Meteor Mash. Mamoswine already takes care of Dragons with Ice Shard.

I'm not even sure why HP Ice is valuable on Houndoom, I guess for Dragons, but there are better pokemon on your team suited for taking them out, mainly Mamo. HP Fighting is just so much better for taking out Heatran and also Tyranitar whom I mentioned before.

Leftovers over Lum Berry on Crobat. It's probably the fastest sleep inducer in the game, except Yanmega after a Speed Boost, so I don't see the need for it, you already have Taunt to block status inducing moves so yeah.

You really should bulk up that Milotics defensive stats. Mainly to actually be able to take on Infernape. But Vaporeon is far superior for that role. With no recovery move or Rapid Spin support, Crobat will need all the recovery it can get in order to at least switch-in agaisnt Heracross or SD Cario.

No other HUGE weaknesses I sense. Like the Houndoom concept, and give props to using SD Breloom. Ironically it could save your ass from a sweep.
 
thank you. will edit. Everybody who helped me gets a cookie. And can you help me with vappy? I'm thinking:

Vappy@Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Ev's: 252 hp, 126 def, 42 Spatt, 90 Spdef
-Ice Beam
-Wish
-Surf
-Calm Mind
 
Go with flash fire>early bird on houndoom, it allows it to switch in on fire moves, and you have 3 fire weaks to lure with.
 
Vaporeon can't learn Calm Mind.

Another thing, keep Crobat as the combo of Crobat+Houndoom+Breloom is effective.

The only other thing I have to say is look at the standard EV spreads on the smogon analysis page, as those are rather lackluster and Milotic is practically OHKOed by everything this gen so maybe a Resttalk Suicune or atleast put defense EVs.
 
Thank you people's! Especially Stalefish and everybody that told me to switch Thunder Punch for Spore. I swept a Sandstorm team with it. SDloom pwns SS teams.
 
I don't see why you say you have problems with resttalk cressy. resttalk doesn't usually carry thunderwave, so houndoom can set up and smash her with +6 STAB supereffective dark pulse. this is a pretty offensive team, so I'll try to treat it like one, and not talk too much about threats, but 3 fire weaknesses trouble me, even if you're trying to bait houndoom. because if milotic is caught asleep and picks rest once or twice, suddenly you're dead against scarftran. you also lack sr, which is gonna help you ko things like heatran after a boost with houndoom. so I suggest replacing mamoswine, as he seems kinda filler. but what to replace him with? I'd say something like gliscor, as he makes a pretty good wall when paired with milotic, also giving you some insurance against lucario, as with brelooms frailty, and possibly mach punch / scarf sets, the smart player would choose bullet punch / extremespeed. he also gets down the sr, and even can be a backup counter to garchomp. I'd go jolly, just because jolly gliscor is the coolest thing ever, stopping those hp ice lucarios cold, provided you switch in safely. now, with ice fang, he can "counter" with ice fang, but at the moment you have some gyarados issues, so I'd probably switch ice beam for hp electric on milotic, as now your garchomp issues are not as big as your gyarados issues, as gyarados can hurt this team.

mad props for using sd breloom.
 
Thank you Stathakis I will test out Gliscor over Mamo. I'm thinking the Smogon support set:

Gliscor@Lefties
Ability: Sand Veil
EV's: 252 hp, 4 att, 252 def
Nature: Jolly
-Ice Fang
-EQ
-SR
-Roost
