BRELOOM!

My first RMT in a while. I've retired video games pretty much, but I still like Shoddybattle, and I'm gonna take a shot at a RMT. Please go a little light on the criticism, I don't know much about what has changed,but I remember quite a bit of my experiences.
Note:Changes are made in bold.

Spiritomb@Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 140 Atk / 116 SpD
Careful Nature (+SpDef, -SpAtk)
~ Will-O-Wisp
~ Pain Split
~ Sucker Punch
~ Taunt

A standard Spiritomb lead,I had some awesome memories with this. My main status-inducer,and some late-game sweeping to some extent.I changed Hypnosis to WoW for physical sweepers coming in,and common physical leads like Chompy and Gyarados.

[Other Options]
I was considering a Gyarados lead,but I haven't used it before. Maybe a S-Deoxys(I think it's OU now?) to outspeed Gengar(I've heard it's a pretty common lead).

Breloom@Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 44 HP / 252 Atk / 212 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpAtk)
~ Focus Punch
~ Substitute
~ Leech Seed
~ Spore

[Set Comments]
The star player! While my other team players help Breloom set up,it's ready to dominate. I changed Seed Bomb to Spore,since Spiritomb is better off with WoW,.

[Other Options]
Thunderpunch would be cool,but I want Poison Heal on this thing,unless there is a huge reason I should change. I could change the whole set,and throw in Spore/Seed Bomb/Focus Punch/Stone Edge or maybe even Facade. i just realized Facade,because of it's "always" poisoned status,it would be pretty powerful.

Starmie@Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 160 HP / 132 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
~ Thunderbolt
~ Rapid Spin
~ Recover
~ Surf

[Set Comments]
i changed Weezing out,since hazers apparently aren't very useful anymore,so I replaced it with a Gyarados solution,a spinner,a bulky AND a special sweeper. Thunderbolt over Ice Beam,because Vaporeon alreayd has it,so no use for it honestly.

[Other Options]
Not really anything.

Gliscor@Leftovers
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 156 SpDef / 96 Spe
Impish Nature(+Def, -SpAtk)
~ Rock Polish
~ Baton Pass
~ Roost
~ Earthquake

[Set Comments]
This thing passes some major speed boosts to Breloom,and can take some hits that Breloom is weak too, such as Fire,and Flying.I decided Earthquake over Taunt because Spiritomb has Taunt already,and this thing might want offense if it gets Taunted. I pumped out some speed,and threw into Special Defense for some bulkiness,since its Defense is pretty high.

[Other Options]
Maybe taking out some Special Defense,and put it in Attack,and Taunt would be nice..

Infernape@Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 24 Atk / 252 SpAtk/ 232 Spe
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SpDef)
~ Flamethrower
~ Close Combat
~ Grass Knot
~ Hidden Power Ice

[Set comments]
My special sweeper AND mix sweeper. Cleans up late game,picks off of weak stuff,is pretty cool in general..

[Other Options]
Being my only special sweeper,I'll need to keep this alive,so I'll need my last Pokemon to be a cleric of some sort,special wall,and provides wish. Any ideas? I got one(two actually).

Vaporeon@Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 SpA
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
~ Wish
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam
~ Yawn

[Set Comments]
Well, due to my Togekiss weakness,I'm replacing it with Vaporeon here.
Still has Wish on it,so that's good,plus Yawn.

[Other Options]
Not really anything,since Starmie already has T-bolt for Gyarados.

[Opinion overall]
I like this team a bit,I'm wanting some changes,and after I test it out on shoddybattle(10 battles),I'll have a good idea on what I need to change.
 
Mmkay, Togekiss gives this entire team problems. Your only sweepers are fighting types meaning not only are they weak to Togekiss's best STAB, they can't really do much back to Togekiss, especially Breloom. The best you could manage with this team is send in Spiritomb against Togekiss, hope Air Slash doesn't do too much damage, and hope that none of the other pokes in the foe's team are asleep and hope to hit with Hypnosis. All very risky. Even Blissey takes a good amount of damage from Togekiss's Aura Sphere, from experience.

IMO, too many walls. Maybe if you had more variety in your sweepers, but you won't be able to break down teams with just a Mixape and Breloom. Spiritomb's crippling power is weakened if you're not using Will O Wisp because said move makes it easier to tank physical hits (hence why Spiritomb is often a special wall) and whittles down the foe's health. Gliscor and Weezing are kind of redundant because they both wall Heracross and, again, you already have too many walls as it is. If you really want something to stop things setting up, get a phazer that serves another purpose besides that.

To soften your Togekiss weakness, maybe Vaporeon > Blissey? You intended to use WishBliss so a standard Vaporeon could do the same thing and isn't weak to any of Togekiss's attacks.

The weakest link in the team I'd say is Weezing. It's not as good as it used to be, and is kind of just taking up space. I'd say you should have counters to the stat-boosters themselves, rather than just using a Hazer.

That's my advice for now, we'll narrow it down as we move along.
 
Thanks for the advice! I used my new-improved team and works okay. I think I'm trashing this team though. It just doesn't "feel" right.. But Breloom is pretty good with Gliscor.
 
i dont know that breloom has enough time and not to mention speed to pull off spore, substitute, and leech seed. id take off leech for either stone edge, for flyers, or seed bomb, to get rid of those bulky waters quickly.
 
Actually, I usually just,spore,sub,and punch. When I need health,I switch to Gliscor,get some speed ready,pass to Breloom,then I spore,leech,and then stall.
