Linoone will sweep you!

I have been trying to make a succesful Linoone team for a while and i think this is a pretty good one:

Gliscor@leftovers
Impish, 252 HP, 184 Def, 72 Speed

Linoone@Salac Berry
Adamant Gluttony
252 Att, 108 HP, 152 Speed
-Extreme Speed
-Shadow Claw
-Belly Drum
-Rock Smash

The main sweeper of the team. After it had done Belly Drum, which is alot easier to do if it obtained a Sub from Celebi.(NOTE: I dont Baton Pass at the start of the battle.) After its Belly Drum, its Att is maxed and his Salac Berry activated cause of Gluttony and then start sweeping.

Please rate, i have some trouble with Ice moves :S
 
Vaporeon could do a better job with Wish than Salamence, and could help you with your Ice weakness. Donphan is quite useless in this team, so I would try Heracross to absorb status and then, try to hit with strong Pursuits to Ghosts like Gengar or Mismagius.
 
I like Jirachi in place of Mence and Starmie over Donphan. Both will help with Ice weakness and will work better with the rest of your team. Good luck!
 
Sadly I have been swept by Linoone before, I shit bricks when that thing used Belly Drum.

You need something to block your massive Ice weakness. Heatran could help a lot with that and Celetran is a tough combo to break.
 
@ Trust, i always have used a Vappy but they somehow never work for me, so i try something different. But Hera is a nice idea, but i would like to keep Rapid Spin.

@Dragonites: Starmie could work yeah, ill add him over Donphan, as for Jirachi, since if i add Starmie, i only got 3 with a weak for it and Magnezone and Starmie could take the Ice Attacks then....

@Randomnoob: Yeah, Heatran is great, but he cant support Linoone.
