Lickilicky Rocks!!

My first RMT on Smogon. Anyways the goal of this team is to clear the way for a Likilicky sweep.

Adamant
Megahorn

Stone Edge
Pursuit

The almighty Choice Band Heracross. My Gengar, Mismagius, Dusknoir, Spiritomb and random Ghost Pokemon counter. If it catches a Will-O-Wisp from Dusknoir it can potentially sweep for me.

Lickilicky @ Leftovers
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 224 Hp/56 Atk/92 Def/136 SpD
Sassy
Curse
Body Slam/Return
Gyroball
Rest/Earthquake

The star of the show, Lickilicky! Who doesn't have a soft spot for this pink blob. This works just like a Curselax. After a few Curses Lickilicky is going to be a pain to take down. I am thinking of using Rest over Earthquake because Sandstorm negates my leftovers recovery.

Metagross
Swampert can take of Metagross.

Tyranitar
Swampert and Heracross can revenge kill it.

I'l do a proper rate later, but mixgross could actually just destroy you, as it has flame thrower and grass knot.
 
actually, mixgross has hp fire >.>

anyways, this team is ass-slow and weak to fighting.

terribly mixape weak. as a matter of fact, mixape eats this whole team for snack.

Alright any suggestions to fix it? I was thinking maybe Starmie, Tentacruel or Gliscor, but who should I replace?
 
you could possibly make heatran scarf, so at leas you can revenge kill him. imo you have too many steels on this team. I'd say take off skarm, as you already have stealth rock and you won't be finding much time to use spikes.

the idea of this team is rather bad, as the only thing setting lickilicky apart from, say, curselax, is stab explosion, and you're not using it, so meh.
also, in this speed oriented metagame, having all your guys below base 100 speed is pretty bad.

edit: many mixapes carry hp ice, so gliscor isn't really a surefire counter.

Gliscor > Magnezone. Skarm and forry shouldn't be a huge hassle, and the have shed shell sometimes anyway.

Alright I will use Gliscor.

Also Lickilicky has Gyroball to hit both Gengar and Tyranitar will Snorlax can only hit one of the two. Alright so I will replace Mangezone and Scarf Heatran but I still don't know who to replace Skarm with.

With gliscor and swampert, you don't really another physical wall.

It's your pick, really! Yay!
 
check starmie's evs, you may notice something...

now that the team isn't ass slow, it doesn't look as bad. as far as lickilicky, it still is kinda meh to me, but that's just me.

Yeah just saw that. Thanks for the help but I am going to stay with Lickilicky for now.
 
IMO the best way to get a Lickilicky sweep going is by having a lot of paralysis support. I'm sure you can find counters to Lickilicky's enemies, and have two or three of them carry a Paralysis inducing move. I like the idea, however. But without Paralysis support, I doubt you'll be successful at all. CBHera will love the Paralysis support too. I've run a Paralysis themed team and Hera really kicks ass in it. Also, the Lickilicky set you're running doesn't have as much sweeping potential as a Mixed set would. I'd run that.

Good luck with the team!
 
Yeah my oringinal idea was to provide Paralysis support but I had a hard time finding a move to replace on a Pokemon that could learn it.
 
Body Slam contradicts Gyro Ball's power when they get paralyzed.

I may even suggest Double-edge for power over Return as you can just heal off the damage with Rest (and Curse helps you take hits), but it is up to you...

If I am using Body Slam on a Pokemon why switch to Gyro Ball?

Also after testing this team I have decided that a Swords Dance Lickilicky with paralysis support would work better any ideas?
 
After having sufficient Paralysis support (three Pokémon maybe; perhaps Celebi and Blissey with T-Wave and Jirachi/Togekiss with Thunder/Body Slam), and you can use Vaporeon/Gliscor/Umbreon/Drifblim/a lot of things to maybe pass a big Substitute to Lickilicky while you set up Swords Dance. The sub passing is optional, and probably unnecessary, but the Paralysis is probably a must. You could try running Jirachi/Celebi/Blissey/Lickilicky/CBer/wall breaker and maybe that'll work out.

I'm tired, my advice is probably bad. :_(
