RMT: OU Standard but Bleu Cheese is Gross!

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -Sp Atk)
EV: 72 HP / 252 Atk / 184 Spd
-Dragon Dance
-Ice Fang
-Earthquake
-Waterfall

Excellent lead with Intimidate and no Pursuit weak. I usually just switch out and save him for late game, since most leads dominate him-SpecsMence, Gengar, etc. Other leads like Infernape and Weavile can be easily forced out.

Lucario @ Choice Specs
Ability: Steadfast
Nature: Modest (+Sp Atk, -Atk)
EV: 4 Def / 252 Spd / 252 Sp Atk
-Aura Sphere
-Vacuum Wave
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power Ice

One of my favorite special sweepers. Vacuum Wave is a great move to stop Weaviles who think they are cool by Pursuiting my teammates. Basically my wall breaker since not even the queen of special walls, Blissey, can stop him. Shadow Ball is a cool move and hurts Cresselia and friends.

Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
EV: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 Sp Atk
-Hypnosis
-Thunderbolt
-Focus Blast
-Shadow Ball

Ahh the other special sweeper. Works great in tandem with Lucario. Hypnosis is a fantastic move despite the crappy accuracy, and it has saved me quite a few times. I prefer Life Orb over Choice Scarf for the extra power and the ability to switch moves, making it harder for me to get revenge killed.

Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Ability: Chlorophyll
Nature: Impish (+Def, -Sp Atk)
EV: 252 HP / 228 Def / 28 Spd
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Earthquake
-Power Whip

Physical tank/status absorber. Power Whip is cool, and it aids in taking down Gyarados and Tyranitar. Earthquake is mainly filler, but it hurts Raikou and Magnezone, as well as Metagross decently.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Impish (+Def, -Sp Atk)
EV: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
-Roost
-Taunt
-Ice Fang
-Earthquake

This is my answer to Heracross, who can cause problems. Taunt shuts down Skarmory, which allows Gyarados to take him down. Ice Fang hits Garchomp quite hard, and this is my best switch into Choiced versions. Also stops non Yache Berry and non Outrage Swords Dance versions.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Calm (+Sp Def, -Atk)
EV: 252 Def / 56 Sp Atk / 200 Sp Def
-Softboiled
-Flamethrower
-Thunder Wave
-Seismic Toss

The special wall. Flamethrower has become standard IMO as it hits steels and Weavile very hard. Thunder Wave can stop certain sweepers from killing me, in particular if they keep their Gengar in on me. Seismic Toss to stop Raikou sweeps and it does decent against Heatran.
 
You don't really have much stealth rock or spikes support which will help your team greatly. You might want to ditch SToss on Blissey for some other move, I have never found it too handy, though it can be useful sometimes. I really don't like your Tangrowth, I think the leech seed, sleep powder, knock off set works best personally, but I guess you are using it for a different purpose. Blissey can absorb sleep just fine instead. You also might wanna consider bold on Blissey, it will help her live through some fighting attacks. You might want to note that both your physical walls are weak to ice.
 
Without Seismic Toss this team gets raped by Raikou and Heatran too. Calm on Blissey allows me to switch into Azelf, Porygon-Z and Heatran more easily, while Bold only allows me to survive EQs from Swampert and Hippowdon, and I won't be surviving too many fighting attacks, seeing as STAB physical fighting moves will always OHKO if they are more powerful than Brick Break, and Focus Punch from Tyraniboah and Dragonite 2HKO no matter what nature I choose. Calm allows me to switch into SpecsLuke and if I mispredict I won't be 2HKOed.

The only threatening ice pokes to this team are Weavile and Mamoswine. They can be revenge killed by Lucario if need be.
 
And both of those are physical sweepers against whom you will be using gliscor or tangrowth to deal with. Gliscor is 4x SE and tangrowth 2x. Either way your physical walling is screwed. It's not like Lucario will be able to revenge kill them very easily either, anyone with any intelligence would get the hell out. You don't see that many Raikou but heatran you would want to handle with twave from blissey and that will probably get a switch. When it comes back in you can probably nail it with lucario. I see this team having lots of problems with status so you might want to have aromatherapy on bliss. Gengar gets shut down by para, so does a 6-0 DD sweep on dos, and tangrowth's tanking gets hurt dramatically by toxic, as does blissey's ability to stay in for an extended period.
