My First Team

Lead: Infernape @Focus Sash Nature:Hasty
EVs: 64 Atk / 252 Sp. Atk / 192 Spe
~Fake Out
~Stealth Rock
~Fire Blast
~Close Combat

This I find very useful in setting up Stealth Rock and taking out the opponents lead before they can do the same. Only problem is Weavile as a lead, and that is addressed in other members.

Physical: Metagross @Life Orb Nature:Adamant
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
~Meteor Mash
~Earthquake
~ThunderPunch
~Pursuit

I enjoy fairly bulky offensive threats, and Metagross instantly came to mind. Gengar and Weavile are taken out by Pursuit and Meteor Mash and ThunderPunch deals with waters and dents Skarmory. Earthquake OHKOs Heatran and discourages trapping Magnezones.

Mixed: Dragonite @Choice Scarf Nature:Rash
EVs: 129 Atk / 252 Sp. Atk / 129 Spe
~Draco Meteor
~Superpower
~Outrage
~Fire Blast

Dragonite is perfect paired with Metagross as they resist each other perfectly. The Choice Scarf adds to the one flaw stat-wise, and unsuspecting Skarmory will perish if they take a chance. Vaporeon would not enjoy Outrage one bit, and Scizor is now checked.

Special: Starmie @Choice Specs Nature:Timid
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spe
~Psychic
~Surf
~Thunderbolt
~Ice Beam

Great coverage and Speed work well together in a Choice Specs set. Starmie has Speed where my previous attackers lack, and Gyarados doesn't stand a chance.

Physical Wall: Forretress @Macho Brace Nature:Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP / 58 Atk / 200 Def
~Rapid Spin
~Spikes
~Gyro Ball
~Earthquake

Basic set. Spins away Stealth Rock, which Dragonite hates, and Spikes, that Metagross hates combined with Life Orb. Murders fast opponents and Earthquake gives it resistance vs. Magnezone (though death is inevitable).

Trapper: Umbreon @Leftovers Nature:Calm
EVs: 252 Sp.Atk / 58 Def / 200 Sp. Def
~Mean Look
~Baton Pass
~Wish
~Protect

This wraps it all up. Traps Blissey, who is the elimenated by Dragonite. Traps others too, such as Scizor and Rotom-A. Provides Wish support, and is great at Baton Passing the Wish with low Speed. Can't attack, but a serious team player.
 
just a quick rate:

IMO, pictures are a bit better. raters tend to rate RMTs which look prettier ^^

I don't think Choice Scarf is a good on Dragonite. Since you have a trapper, I suggest using the normal Dragon Dance set.

I wouldn't put specs on starmie with Psychic. it just becomes utter pursuit bait.

Forretress shouldn't have macho brace, it isn't a HUGE help. Give it leftovers.

I don't think Pursuit works to well on Metagross. Put Agility there so gross now is agiligross :)
 
This is the set i run on my Starmie

Item: Wide Lens
Nature: Timid
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4Def, 252SpAtt, 252Spd
Moves:
Hydro Pump
Thunder
Blizzard
Recover/Rapid Spin

You could run psychic if you want a definite hit over Recover, or Rapid Spin.



I agree, Forretress is never gonna get a kill with gyro ball, so dont even run Macho Brace, us lefties :D
Id actually use Payback rather than Gyro ball, for better coverage.

Umbreon should get rid of protect, add curse, max out one defensive stat, and trap someone depending on what you pick, curse and wish, till you baton pass. You dont need protect, umbreon just needs to wish one turn ahead, and if the enemy is hitting to hard, umbreon shouldnt be in there anyways.

Other then that, it looks nice.
Just put some pictures up :D
