Bronzong@Lum Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252/60/192/0/0/6
Impish Nature (+Def -S.Atk)
- Earthquake
- Hypnosis
- Light Screen
- Stealth Rock
This Bronzong works wonderfully for its purpose of getting something asleep. Even if an opposing Bronzong is running a Lum Berry as well, the six EV investment of Speed should allow it to skip ahead of any logical Bronzong -- regardless of its speed. Earthquake can catch Magnezones, Heatrans, and Inferapes coming in on this Bronzong. Light Screen allows larger defenses against Special blows, which this team vastly needs. Stealth Rock helps Heracross run through anything without fear of a Focus Sash.

Jolteon@Expert Belt
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4/252/0/0/0/252
Timid Nature (+Spd -Atk)
- Hidden Power: Ice
- Shadow Ball
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
Jolteon slows the opposition so that Heracross won't have troubles against faster foes, Shadow Ball targets ghosts, who also hinder Heracross's sweep potential. Hidden Power: Ice targets anything that would normally dodge Thunder Wave (most likely Garchomp). A well-timed Substitute allows Jolteon to blast through many things it would normally fear (the aforementioned Garchomp, as well as Deoxys and Gengar).

Weezing@Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252/0/192/60/0/6
Bold Nature (+Def -Atk)
- Haze
- Fire Blast
- Pain Split
- Thunderbolt
My Heracross and Lucario counter. Haze wavers away SDLuke and SDCross attempts, as well as DDMence, DDNite, and Gyarados, should any of them be found without Taunt. Those that do possess taunt immediately get hit with a Ice Beam or Thunderbolt respectively. I also opt not to use Will-O-Wisp due to the need of Thunder Wave to be in effect on most of the team.

Vaporeon@Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252/0/192/0/60/6
Bold Nature (+Def -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Surf
- Wish
Vaporeon passes the second largest Substitutes possible, and also has access to Wish, a much needed entity on this team. With only Weezing having recovery (and Pain Split isn't very reliable), longevity of the team is jeopardized. With Vaporeon's immense Substitutes and Wish, their pains are calmed.

Deoxys-E@Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 6/0/0/252/0/252
Timid Nature (+Spd -Atk)
- Psychic
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
It's a Deoxys-E, need more explanation? Also: Forget Superpower. Deoxys-E is my fall-back plan if Heracross should perish.

Heracross@Life Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 86/252/0/0/0/172
Adamant Nature (+Atk -S.Atk)
- Close Combat
- Megahorn
- Night Slash
- Stone Edge
Since I'm not exactly trying to power through anything and everything, but instead sweep late-game, I opt for a Life Orb over the standard Choice Band/Scarf. Night Slash is also chosen over Pursuit, as it is unlikely for Pursuit to be used more than once. Other than that, this is your normal CBCross.
