This is the team I've been using on Shoddy lately. It does pretty well on there. I just wanted to get some thoughts on it.

@Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 sp.attack/252 speed
Nature: Modest
Focus Blast
Hidden Power Ice
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt

My lead, deals with mostly everything, 2HKO's Skarms for the most part, deals with just about every lead.

@Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 Sp.def
Nature: Bold
S-Toss
Thunder Wave
Stealth Rock
Softboiled

Pretty standard, comes in if I think someone is going to use a ghost/dark move on Gengar. Then if it's a Gallade or something, bring gengar back in on the fighting move and get a choice on a new attack.

@ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Speed/252 Sp.attack
Nature: Naive
Ice Beam
Psycho Boost
Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt?
Superpower

I love this guy, comes in for revenge kills, really does his job pretty well. I like Superpower over Focus Blast because it's either hit and get a drop or don't hit at all because of focus blasts low chance of hitting.

@Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs:252 Speed/252 Sp.attack/6 Attack
Nature: Naive
Hidden Power Ice
Grass Knot
Overheat
Close Combat

Kind of standard Mixape. I don't really like Nastly Plot because I never have the chance to get it up. Overheat>Flamethrower mainly because it's a good attack that will hit most stuff for good damage, if I think my opponent is going to switch. HP Ice smacks Garchomp and other ground types around that otherwise would kill this guy.

@Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Speed/ 252 Attack/ 6 Defense
Nature: Jolly
Outrage
Crunch
Fire Blast
Earthquake

Standard Revenge kill Chomp. I've wanted to try out that Yache Chomp, because as I lurked these boards, I see that it's pretty popular. Maybe change the 6 Defense EV's and instead put them into Sp.Def?

@Leftovers
Ability: Sandstream
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Attack/ 6 Speed
Nature: Lonely
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Crunch

Kind of a standard set, surprisngly I'm able to get up D-Dance late game and possibly sweep so I'm probably keeping this set.

So that's my team, please rate/hate/whatever.
 
Yah okay I'm going to fear the bejesus out of Heracross here. Judging by Deoxys presence already, I'd ditch the Gengar for like a Gliscor. As not only does this help with Heracross, it also helps against Lucario who fucks you like no other, as well as provide to back up to Garchomp should that ever be the case. Sandstorm immunity, can abuse Sand Veil, and sets up Stealth Rocks. This just adds too many things to not add.

Also I'd slap Life Orb or Expertbelt or DarkGlasses onto Tyranitar. All will help against various encounters.

Okay, I'll try it. Got a suggested set for Gliscor or will any set do?
 
I'd probably go along the lines of:

Earthquake
Roost
Stealth Rocks

The last spot is up to you. Ice Fang, Aerial Ace, Taunt and Knock Off all work here for various reasons.

Ice Fang is for Garchomp, although if they're running Yache, that's roughly a 3HKO, the same as Earthquake. Aerial Ace will help you OHKO Breloom and actually do something to Heracross. Taunt prevents other Gliscor or random Skarmory and Forretress and Bronzong from doing shit. Knock Off will annoy them in general as shit will lose their precious items.

Hmm, I think I'm going to use Ice Fang. I went into two battles and won both. It also gives me a physical wall for my team, because I didn't have one. Any other fixes?
 
Uh nitpicking ones..

Wish on Blissey perhaps, helps with everyone, especially Infernape and Deoxys who are slowly killing themselves.

Best to go Adamant on Garchomp as well.
