I like this team.

I would make a new mono team, but I wanted to showcase my Jirachi in this team, and I've already done Steel and Psychic. Anyways, I tried to focus this team especially on synergy. I just hope I don't get OHKO'd by any threats...MixVire covered....Inernape covered....Heracross....covered? Hmm....We'll see.

Weezing @ Black Sludge
Bold - 252 Defense / 252 HP / 4 Sp. Attack
+Levitate+
~Thunderbolt
~Will-o-Wisp
~Pain Split
~Sludge Bomb / Fire Blast


Ah, Weezing. It's my lead because it can hit Gyarados with Thunderbolt and Tyranitar and other physical sweepers (sans Gusters) with WoW. I know, Pain Split is very unreliable recovery, but Weezing needs its moveslots too much for ResTalk. The last slot is either STAB Sludge Bomb or Fire Blast. Fire Blast can hit the also popular Forretress leads, and hits Bronzong leads pretty hard. But if you all really think I should use ResTalk, then I suppose I could...


PokeshoZapdos.gif


Zapdos @ Leftovers
Calm - 252 HP / 220 Sp. Defense / 36 Speed
+Pressure+
~Thunderbolt
~Hidden Power [Grass / Ice] / Extrasensory / Roar
~Roost
~Thunder Wave / Toxic

Next up is my Zapdos. I wanted something to take on Mixape and Gengar, and pretty much a general special wall. I was wondering, though, if I could invest some EVs in defense but still take special hits well. Anyways, I doubt I'll be able to get a good HP, so Extrasensory could be good. For my status, I could have Thunder Wave or Toxic. Roar could go especially well with this, scouting the opponent's team while spreading some status around. I just don't know whether I'd want Thunder Wave or Toxic...My team is sorta slow, I feel, so T-Wave could help a bit more.

PokeshoJirachi.gif


Jirachi @ Leftovers
Modest - 252 HP / 128 Defense / 128 Sp. Defense
+Serene Grace+
~Charge Beam
~Icy Wind
~Wish
~Cosmic Power


This set is a beast. Once it sets up, pretty much only critical hits (...) can take it down. Cosmic Power to raise its defenses. Wish can help Jirachi and my team. Icy Wind can hit Infernape switches and slow them down for Gyarados. Charge Beam always raises Special Attack now, and it pairs well with Icy Wind coverage wise. Don't worry, these moves have low Base Powers won't matter when I have +6 Defenses and Sp. Attack. Modest since he'll need it for those moves, just for a little umph.


PokeshoGyarados.gif


Gyarados @ Leftovers
Adamant - 72 HP / 252 Atk / 184 Spe
+Intimidate+
~Dragon Dance
~Waterfall
~Earthquake
~Ice Fang / Stone Edge


Dragon Dance Gyarados. This thing is a beast. Watefall is awesome STAB with the chance to flinch. Earthquake is a powerful move that hits supereffective on key types. Ice Fang would help me hit Grass Types specifically, while Stone Edge could hit Fliers harder, and some other types like Ice, Bug, and Fire.


PokeshoLucario.gif


Lucario @ Choice Specs
Modest - 252 Sp. Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP
+Steadfast+
~Aura Sphere
~Dark Pulse
~Vacuum Wave
~Dragon Pulse


This Luke be pulsin'. Seriously, though, I needed a Special Attacker, and I almost never use a special attacker that is walled by Blissey unless it helps the team otherwise (like SpinStar). I really doubt I'll be able to breed a Modest HP Ice Luke, so I'll go with Dragon Pulse (though hitting Gliscor would be nice...we'll see what happens). Dark Pulse over Shadow Ball since I have Gyara and Weezing for Hera. Vacuum Wave helps against stuff, I heard. I just don't know what...I suppose he doesn't have many other options, though....*didn't look at its movepool*




And the last slot, I don't know. My team's weaknesses and resistances are very solid. I feel I have my roles fulfilled pretty well. Maybe I need something fast, or something that supports the team well. But it can't disrupt my balance in defensive coverage. Maybe a Deoxys-S. The team seems kinda slow...Keep note that not one member of my team has more than three weaknesses, and they're almost all covered by something. Thanks!
 
4 special attackers and only one physical. I'd say that an Electivire or Mamoswine would fit in well, if it didn't screw your synergy too bad.
 
With the amount of Electric attacks on your team, I can see MixVire being a problem. It KOs Weezing with Thunder/bolt, although will not like Will-O-Wisp. Ice Punch will take down Zapdos in the end. Earthquake hits Lucario and Jirachi, and Thunder/bolt beats Gyarados.

Relooking at your team, Raikou beats it really easily. It can set up a Substitute on almost anything, then proceed to Calm Mind and rip the team to shreds. Swampert beats Non-Hidden Power Grass Electivire, and can beat Raikou as long as it lacks Hidden Power Grass. Probably run Roar/Earthquake/Ice Beam/Protect or something along those lines.
