RMT (well, potential team)

I've been trying to find a good balance for my D/P team, since my current one isn't doing amazing. I want to find something with no serious weaknesses...something balanced. Here is the prototype:

Cresselia @ Leftovers
252 HP, 252 Sp. Def, 6 Sp. Attack, Modest
-Reflect
-Thunder Wave
-Grass Rope/Ice Beam
-Moonlight

Skarmory @ Leftovers
252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Sp. Def, Impish Nature
-Feather Rest
-Spikes
-Stealth Rock/Drill Peck (though I'm not convinced its worth putting an attack on Skarm. If it the last Pokemon on your team, you're in trouble anyway.)
-Roar

Starmie Sweeping @Leftovers
252 Sp. Attack, 216 Spd, 42 Def, Timid Nature
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Rapid Spin

Weavile @Life Orb
252 Attack, 252 Spd, 6 Spc. Def, Jolly/Adamant Nature
-Swords Dance
-Ice Punch
-Blade Test
-Brick Break

Blissey @ Leftovers
252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Sp. Def
-Ice Beam
-Softboild
-Aromatherapy
-Thunder Wave/Stoss if its possible to get on only through D/P :P


Heracross @Choice Band
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP, Adamant/Jolly
-Pursuit
-Stone Edge
-In Fight
-Megahorn


Any advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
 
Before we get to the stage of rating your team, you need to post natures and SPECIFIC EVs.

But, you need to take some of the Ice-type moves off of your pokemon. May I suggest.

Cresselia: Grass Rope
Blissey: Seismic Toss or Counter
Possibly replace Fire Blast with Fire Fang on Garchomp.
Skarmory needs aat least one attack move, b/c if it was against a suction-cup poke, it would lose if Skarmory was the last poke left. Possinly put in Drill Peck in place of preferably Feather Rest, but it's your call if you want to delete Spikes or Stealth Rock.

But the team is OK, but YOU do need natures and EVs more than anything.

EVs done, if it makes you feel better :P. I'd probably Sacrifice Spikes or Stealth Rock on Skarm for Drill Peck. Though, if Skarmory was my last Pokemon, I'd be pretty screwed anyway.

Blissey: Might sacrifice Twave for SToss, if there is a way to get it in this game. Not sure if its possible.

Cresslia: Grass Rope looks good. It'd be nice to have a little more help against Swampert.
 
In before Jumpman says it: Don't use Rapid Spin on an AG Starmie because you'll get 1, or maybe 2 Spins in before Starmie dies due to all the damage it'll be taking on the switchins and Sandstream and such. I would consider Life Orb on Weavile so it can fill in Garchomp's role and allow you to use Heracross without guilt.
 
>_> Ever since I've started with cresselia, it seems everybody and their mothers is also now........Weavile wants life orb/choice band, not focus strip.

Ah. Good suggestions. I wasn't sure about Starmie's item on this one. I may consider leftovers just so I can actually have a Rapid Spinner.

I've definitely been considering Life Orb on Weavile. What you say really justifies it, though - I'll likely take that suggestion. :)
 
Put Whirlwind on Skarmory. Drill Peck/Whirlwind is legal now.

Otherwise, standard.

EDIT: Oh, you have a CBtar weak, btw - no Rock resist hurts.
 
does it really matter which we use whirlwind or Roar they do the same thing so y does everyone say Whirlwind over Roar.
