Suicune: Leftovers
Relaxed nature 252HP 252Def 6SpAtk
Surf
Ice beam
Rest

Calmcune, if allowed a setup can sweep entire teams away. Also is a good status absorber.

Dusknoir: Leftovers
Careful nature 252HP 76Def 180SPDef
Fire punch
Shadow sneak
Will-o-wisp
Pain split
Will-o-wisp helps my team alot here, it makes suicunes defenses almost impeneteable, and gives support for the rest of my team.

Snorlax: Leftovers
Careful nature 168HP 120Def 220SpDef
Curse
Body slam
Earthquake
Rest
Curselax, very useful in tangent with dusknoirs will-o-wisp. Also the normal/ghost combo is fun to switch around to avoid a super effective hit.

Scizor: Life orb
Adamant nature 108HP 252Atk 148Spd
Iron head
X-scissor
Brick break
Agility
Cleans up whats left of my opponents, once he gets agility off there is very litle that can stop him sweeping away alot of opponents.
 
This team seems to have problems with LO Gengars with thunderbolt. The simplest answer would be to put Shadow Sneak on Dusknoir. both Fire Punch and Will-o-wisp are redundant: you seem to have problems with Heracross, so I say Fire Punch.

edit: by that I mean keep fire Punch.
 
i think thunderpunch > fire punch on dusknoir. i know shadow sneak will do some damage to gyarados, but if he uses taunt, you cant will-o-wisp, and he'll be able to draogn dance like crazy against only a shadow sneak dusknoir. at least with thunderpunch, you'll be able to do more damage and stop him from dancing too much.
 
I'd say hidden power electric on sceptile over energy ball. Although, it might be nice to have a STAB that's not going to -2 spA stages, I don't find it too necessary. Especially since he's holding choice specs, and he's not your final sweeper...more of hit and run. Besides, he's faster than gyarados after a DD and is resistant to both earthquake and waterfall. If worse comes to worse, a paralyze from snorlax's bodyslam will mess with him anyways as backup.
 
Sceptile is a weak lead. It can do nothing to Bronzong, who is the lead on about 90% of teams nowadays. Gengar is another popular lead who destroys it as well.

If I were you, i'd make that infernape your lead.

Right I will put Infernape as my lead, I didnt want to put the monkey as my lead earlier at first due to intimidate messing up close combat.
Quick thing though, I have never encountered a Bronzong lead.

I'd say hidden power electric on sceptile over energy ball.
I would love HPelectric on scpetile, but this isnt shoddy.

i think thunderpunch > fire punch on dusknoir. i know shadow sneak will do some damage to gyarados, but if he uses taunt, you cant will-o-wisp, and he'll be able to draogn dance like crazy against only a shadow sneak dusknoir. at least with thunderpunch, you'll be able to do more damage and stop him from dancing too much.
But then heracross runs though my team nearly unchallenged, and anyways my Snorlax and Suicune can handle gyarados (I have managed to take out bulkydos with suicune before).
 
Appreciate and take advantage of the help you have luckily recieved, as I will be locking this due to a rule violation:

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you're having trouble with this one, start by give an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.
