UPDATES IN BOLD!
 
Did you just copy every set off the analysis and put them together? there is no description so i dont know what your strategy is.
 
No, I didn't copy-paste anything. The Central strategy is to set up sandstorm with Tyranitar, and either Using him or Garchomp to plow through anything that is weak to them. Vaporeon is for Water Immunity/ Wish passing, plus water and Ice coverage. Hippowdon is to roar away anything that doesn't suit him, plus being a wall. Gliscor is mainly for T-tar/Hera protection, and his secondary role as a Wall. Heatran has good type coverage, and can explode when needed. Sorry, not very good at typing up strategy.
 
Please set your moves in stone, otherwise we can't give you a decent rate. Anyways, Brightpowder is frowned upon as it is a hax item. Yache Berry fits better anyways. 3 Grass weaks and 1 resist that is easily trappable and Explodes from time to time is asking for trouble. 3 Ice weaks with 2 4x weaks is also asking for trouble. The best you can do against Gyrados is to force it out with Yawn, delaying your inevitable doom. Mamoswine will also have a field day with this team.

Hippowdon seems a bit out of place here, and as much as I hate to say it replace it with Blissey, as you have trouble dealing with hard hitting Special Attackers. Starmie could be used over Vaporeon to help the Gyrados weakness and to help you deal with Toxic Spikes which Garchomp and Tyranitar really hate, unless you really feel the need for Wish support, in which case Blissey can cover that.
 
Starmie probably wants Rapid Spin>Psychic and Leftovers as you need Rapid Spin and Psychic doesn't offer much coverage. Check Starmie's analysis for an EV spread.

Garchomp wants max speed to at least tie with others. As it is, a Jolly SD Garchomp with a Yache Berry 6-0s you if it gets a SD. Ice Fang>Aerial Ace helps with the Garchomp problem.

Nothing can switch into a Mamoswine either, but Starmie can revenge kill.

SubCM Mismagius gives you major trouble as well, but Sand Stream will eventually wear it down.
 
Well, the problem is, what will I use for Hera coverage? That's what aerial ace is for. I don't have a Jolly Garchomp, or I would run it, for sure. I guess I could go hunting for one, becaue I can't breed one. (don't have a jolly ditto :(...) Yes, I was thinking of Rapid spin over Psychic. Any more help?
 
Well make sure you note that it's for WiFi, as Team Raters automatically assume it's for Shoddy Battle.

Any Choiced or non-Burn Orb SD Heracross will fall anyways to repeated Earthquakes.
 
Ah, I see what you mean... Well, I don't see any way to change topic title, but yes, this is for WIFI, not Shoddy... Even though this IS The team I use on shoddy...
 
Life orb Gengar can give you some trouble. It can 1-2HKO everything on the team if it has HP Ice, except for Blissey who is 3HKOed by Focus Blast. Should Gengar run Hypnosis, it can cause even more trouble since it can handle Blissey much better.

According to this quote, Garchomp and TTar are the Pokemon who you rely on for your main offence. Yet I don't really like how both of them need to set-up. If you change TTar to a Specially Defensive CBTar, you can remove the threat of Gengar as well as having immediate power without having to set-up:

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Careful - 252 HP/40 Attack/216 Sp.Defence
-Pursuit
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Crunch

(Credit to Jibaku). The EVs on this set let you survive a LOGar's Focus Blast, then remove it with Pursuit. Also, this TTar can counter Togekiss effectively who can give you problems (though not as much as Gengar).
