So, this is the team I am planning on using when Platinum comes down to Australia. So I am starting breeding and will use the team for the battle tower in Pearl and Battle Frontier in Platinum. But I have been testing it on Shoddy and it's been going great but I feel that there are things I am missing.
So, here is the team.
Zapdos @ Lum Berry
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 240 HP/70 Spd/200 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Roost
Lead Zapdos that does great. Sometimes he stays in and gets 1-3 KOs or at least hurts something. Thunderbolt is for STABy reasons, Heat Wave counters Scizor leads and other Grass types. HP Ground is for Heatran but I have been thinking that HP Ice would be more helpful.
Can someone please tell me the IVs needed to have HP Ice 70 with a Modest nature?

Donphan (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
This team needs a spinner due to the amount I usually switch. Stealth Rock is always a help. Ice Shard is for Skymin switch ins and weakend Dragons and that lot. I am thinking of putting Seed Bomb there instead of Earthquake because it helps against water types and I lack a Grass type move.

Kingdra (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 6 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
- Waterfall
- Surf
- Dragon Dance
- Draco Meteor / Outrage
Mixed sweeper that I am thinking about swtiching. It helps with the Fire Weak this team has. Surf and Waterfall for STAB but I can't chose a Dragon move. Both have helped in different situations but I can't chose which.

Jolteon (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Signal Beam
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Life Orb sweeper. Jolteon is a really good Pokemon for life orb. Not so much to say but it gets about 1-2 KOs a match but it usually hurts something bad though.

Mamoswine (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge
- Superpower
Main Dragon and Skymin counter. CBed attacks hurt a damn lot. I chose to go HP > Speed because I would rather it being about to switch in more.
It's weaknesses are so fucking annoying though. I need Mamo in the team for the Ice priority but it's weaks make it harder to get a team.

Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/218 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Roost
Comes in mid game to late game when Zapdos and Heatran are no longer around. Works like a charm. Has taken out plenty of Pokemon.

Any comments and replacements welcome.
BTW I know I am Specsed and Scarfed Heatran weak. I was thinking of adding a Blissey to the team but can't find room.
So, here is the team.
