Platinum Shoddy Team-OverBalanced

dizzleman22_main!

For this team, i tried to go with a generic set up-2 Special Attackers, 2 Physical Attackers, and 1 Special Wall/1 Physical wall. This is why i call this balanced. I'd love to hear some of your suggestions.
Ok Here we go:

Timid Jolteon @ Petaya Berry *JolteonKills*
6 Hp/252 SpA/252 Spe
-Discharge
-Hidden Power Ice/Grass
-Shadow Ball
-Substitute

This pokemon is very useful for handling leads such as Taunting Azelf, normal Non-scarf gengar (i.e. Hypnosis Gengar) and Gyarados. Most Gyarados will switch, allowing me a free Substitute. Basically, i Sub if i know my opponent will try to status me, and proceed to do damage. This is a disruptive Jolteon set i was trying-should i use this over the previous?

Timid Jolteon @ Life Orb *JolteonKills*
6 Hp/252 SpA/252 Spe
-Thunder Wave
-Hidden Power Grass
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball

Spreads some paralysis around, which is always helpful. Packs some extra punch without Sub-Petaya, which is helpful for getting out a quick hit. So, which set is better?

Jolly Gyarados @ Choice Scarf *Disruption*
58 Hp/252 Atk/200 Spe
-Earthquake
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang
-Stone Edge

This is a surprise for most people. Freely switches in on Jolteons, etc. Most people probably go "hahahaha hes a noob, why switch in Gyarados on Jolteon? Then, when they get OHKOd they arent the ones laughing. This is great for surprise factor.

Impish Gliscor @ Leftovers*Smexyful*
200 Hp/252 Def/58 SpD
-Roost
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock

Great Heracross counter, works extraordinarily well. All in all a good physical wall. The only problem is that most physical attackers now carry Ice attacks solely to deal with Gliscor, which is annoying. Any other suggestions for a Physical wall? I like Weezing. I may try that.

Bold Blissey @ Leftovers *Reliable*
200 Hp/252 Def/58 SpD
-Thunder Wave
-Ice Beam
-Seismic Toss
-Softboiled

Simply, an awesome Special wall.

Jolly Scizor @ Life Orb *Bullet*
34 Hp/252 Atk/224 Spe (Outruns Max Jolly TTar)
-Swords Dance
-Brick Break
-X-Scissor
-Bullet Punch
Basically my SD-BP Scizor. Wonderful late game sweeper.

Timid Alakazam @ Expert Belt *SpeedDial*
6 Hp/252 SpA/252 Spe
-Energy Ball
-Focus Blast
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
Very fast, with could good coverage. Any better suggestions? E.g skymin.

I count 7 Pokemon. Could we attempt to cut it down to 6 and then I might look at this. More description if possible.
 
Oh fine. I was just trying to make it look cleaner.

The first one if anything. Discharge is basically better than Thunder Wave most of the time.

Hm... Jolly Wacan DDGyarados could cause problems to this team. Even the Life Orb DD Gyarados will disrupt this team. Vaporeon might not be a bad suggestion to this team as adding a second buffer to Heatran. Porygon2 could also work as it can compensate as a Salamence counter as well with Trace (although I understand you have Gliscor).
 
i wouldn't use either jolteon to be honest raikou does everything better except its only as fast as azelf with max speed works great as long as there is no sandstorm or hail.
raikou
timid @leftovers
calm mind
substitute
thunderbolt,
hp ice/grass
gyarados is just getting walled by celebi a good option if you want a fast gyarados is dragon dance jolly and wacan berry so you can survive a hit from electric attacks. if you want to beat celebi do adament dragon dance with life orb but just watch out for thunder wave from said celebi.

try out jolly gliscor it outspeeds lucario with 307 speed. also if your crazy like me swords dance and life orb can take out zapdos with stone edge.

then you could move stealth rock over to blissey over thunderwave. wish blissey can be helpful for team support and with protect you can scout pursuit and other choiced attack so you dont mispredict.

i would say adament>jolly on scizor since your most using bullet punch anyway.

alakazams fine but if your going to use skymin i think scarf would be good as a revenge killer on your team.
 
Ok, thanks for that info guys. The one reason i love Jolteon as a lead is that it simply gets out fast damage. I would put in vaporeon in over my scarfed Gyarados, however that means i only have one Pokemon capable of taking down a Special wall like Blissey, which is Scizor. Also, scizor could be knocked out by the few Blisses that carry flamethrower, or be crippled by TWave, so im not so sure. Also for the first Jolteon set, which HP should i use? The only reason i carried Ice was for dragons-but if i run Ice, Special oriented Swamperts completely wall me, as a Petaya-d Shadow ball only does like 23%. So, i was thinking grass, because i can easily 2HKO Salamence (unless its very bulky) with a Petaya-d Thunderbolt. I was maybe going to use this, one of my favorite sets, as a revenge killer:

Hasty Infernape @ Choice Scarf *BlazingHot*
-Fire Blast
-Hidden Power Ice
-Grass Knot
-Close Combat
