Typhlosion (♂) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Eruption
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Punch
- Flamethrower
--- Scarf + Eruption is nice, but with choice I'm locked on one attack. It's not a problem. Typhlosion calls Blissey, Swamperts and Dragons. Using predict, I can give OHKO on they.

Metagross @ Choice Band
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 200 HP/236 Atk/72 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Meteor Mash
- Pursuit
--- Pursuit for Gengars and others pokemons that will switch. Ice Punch for dragons(they are more commum than Gyarados). Earthquake for others steel type pokemons.

Donphan (♂) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Knock Off
- Rapid Spin
--- The team spinner.

Blissey (♀) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def/56 SAtk/200 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Wish
- Protect
- Counter
--- Wisher. Wish without Protect ~= fail. Flamethrower gives OHKO to Forretress and makes a surprise for Weaviles that will switch to kill Blissey.
Counter for Dugtrios and others Physical Sweepers.

- Roar
--- Calm Mind Shuffle.
 
After a Nasty Plot, Infernape sweeps your entire team. There are plenty of Mixape counters, I'd just go to the Infernape Page and choose a counter at the bottom that best fits your team. It looks pretty good IMO.
 
It seems pretty solid. Only problem i see is that its lacking in the offensive department. As previously stated, mixape eats your team for breakfast. Gyrados is also a big threat to your team. I cant think of a counter to these two that would fit ur team except for this:

Mespirit@Lefties
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 174hp/208def/126 sp. def (probably not a good ev spread)
Bold Nature

Calm Mind
Ice beam/psychic
thunder wave
t-bolt

Works well for me, bulky defensively to take Napes physical attacks, and with CM can take its specials and kill. Gyra is helpless against this, doesnt even need CM to OHKO.
 
Gyarados won't worry this team as much so long as Celebi carries Grass Knot over Energy Ball, which will allow you to 3HKO it while you're able to recover off damage you receive. You won't even be 2HKOed by a Dragon Dance boosted Ice Fang.

As for your Infernape problem, perhaps Tentacruel would be a better spinner for your team than Donphan, as it resists Flamethrower and Close Combat, while taking minimal damage from Grass Knot. You could always try Starmie, since it's faster, and again resists both STAB moves.
