New OU team (needs some work)

Disaster-Piece

This is my new OU team, I have created it for the platinum metagame as it is now. So far it has been quite unstable but, meh I needed a new team anyway. I have done alot of testing on shoddy, so far it's been winning alot, but I think I need some fixes.

Bodywarmth Froslass

252hp/252spd/6def
-Spikes
-Taunt
-T-Wave
-Destiny Bond
This is my suicide lead, alot of people don't excpect a suicide lead froslass and it is rather fast, so I though I might as well use it. This is like any other suicide lead. Taunt/Twave a poke set up a layer of spikes or two, then if I can, twave as many other guys as I can and go down with a dbond. Alternitavely, I could ditch Dbond and give it max special attack for some Icebeam coverage, but I don't know.

MikeHunt The Blaziken
Rash@ChoiceScarf
76atk/216spd/216satk
-Heatwave
-SkyUppercut
-HiddenPower[Ice]
-ThunderPunch
This is my mixed sweeper/blissey Killer. It was a tough choice between this, or a standard mixape. I went with blaziken because of it's supirior attacking stats. Basically what blaziken does is; come in, kill something, and switch out. Not much it can do for the team, if anyone has a good mixed sweeper I'm open for suggestions.

Kila(Should be japanese, I'll change it when I get home) The Umbreon
Careful@Leftovers
252HP/252SpD/6Atk
NOTABLE IV'S 0-4 Speed
-Wish
-Yawn
-Payback
-BatonPass

And here is a wonderfull special wall, it's my umbreon. One of my first breeds in platinum. This guy does ALOT for the team, since two of my sweepers have lifeorb, and my other wall doesn't have a recovery move. A wish passer was completely nessicary for this team. Now much I can say about it. Also I find it great to stop setup attempts with this. The wish is also fairly easy to get set up once I have a lightscreen/reflect up thanks to rotom.

Metagross The Metagross
Adamant@Lifeorb
152 HP / 252 Atk / 104 Spe
-Agility
-MeteorMash
-EQ
-ThunderPunch(TY platinum move tutor)
This is just a standard agiligross, I find it very usefull as you don't see these guys anymore. Once rotom sets up a light screen/reflect it is insanely easy to set up with. And thanks to the moveset this guy hit's atleast neutral against everything but shedinja/rotom. It's just a bulky attacker.

Zapper The Rotom-H
Bold@Leftovers
252HP/252DEF/6Satk
-OverHeat
-Discharge
-Lightscreen
-Reflect
This little guy makes a GREAT scizor counter. He can EASILY take hits from many attackers and special attackers. He sets up lightscreen/reflect, paralyzes something with discharge, then when it's running low on health, Umbreon can heal it up with a wish. And, not to mention it covers Umbreon very well with it's fight immnity, and Umbreon has its dark/ghost weakness covered. Overall they make a great walling duo.

Sheimi The Skymin
Timid@Lifeorb
252Spd/252satk/6HP
-SeedFlare
-Phsychic
-Earthpower
-Airslash
This is a great special sweeper and addition to my team. I looked for a better replacement, but so far I have found none. I am worried about it going to ubers, otherwise I have no real problems with it. He causes a dual fire weakness like blaziken causes a dual ground weakness. But (I don't count froslass because it's suicide). I think I do need another special sweeper, I'm just not sure what would fit.

So, would someone like to give me suggestions? I worked to get a new team, but ever since my old one I could never really get a good one again. Please help XD
 
Great team. LOVE the Frosslass! Very Clever! A couple suggestions tho:
1.) Salamence makes a great mixed sweeper over Blaziken if your still looking to replace it.
2.) Besides Metagross you seem to attack more on the special side. Maybe balance the team out with a physical attacker? I dont know who I would replace tho, the team looks pretty solid.
3.) Ice Punch over Thunder Punch for Metagross; that way you can hit opposing grounds and have better coverage.

I dont have platinum yet, so Im not sure what its done to the metagame. So, take my advice with a grain of salt.
 
My problem with mixmence was that it's kinda slow..I was actually considoring it though. I think I might make a scarfed mixmence, but that causes a huge ice weaknss so I'd have to ditch skymin. Icepunch may work for this team. I do have it on blaziken, but Tpunch gives amazing coverage.
 
I would do that peachfuzz...But soft resseting shaymin isn't easy. I'll try it on shoddy though. And mence isn't really too big a deal. Switch in on the outrage and metagross beats it down with a mash.
