Here is my interesting team! I made my choices very unique to catch people off guard, and that is how I win a large portion of my matches.

Starting Poke:

Togekiss - Modest - Serene Grace - Expert Belt
252 Sp. Attack, 252 Hp, 6 Defense

Air Slash
Flamethrower
Shadow Ball
Grass Knot

Electivire - Mild - Motor Drive - Expert Belt
6 Attack, 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed

Flamethrower
Hidden Power Ice
Thunderbolt
Low Kick (Debating about using Cross Chop/Brick Break, but Cross Chop's accuracy bothers me, and Brick Break is great, but most pokes other than Blissey has Low Kick do far more damage)

Scizor - Jolly - Technician - Life Orb
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Special Defense

Swords Dance
X-Scissor
Brick Break
Bullet Punch

Infernape - Naive - Blaze - Life Orb
6 Attack, 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack

Flamethrower
Hidden Power Ice
Grass Knot
Close Combat

Skymin - Timid - Serene Grace - Expert Belt
6 HP - 252 Speed - 252 Special Attack

Air Slash
Earth Power
Hidden Power Ice
Seed Flare

This is 5/6 of my team. I am still unhappy with the last slot on my team, and am trying to figure out what I need best. I am fairly confident that a Water type pokemon to counter the firetypes that hit Skymin/Scizor could be the optimal solution. Right now I'm using Suicune, but have yet to be impressed by it. Any solutions? What is the best counter for Heatran?

The one poke I was thinking of, and would replace Togekiss as a starter (keeping togekiss in the line however) would be

Aerodactyl - Jolly - Pressure - Focus Sash
6 HP, 252 Speed, 252 Attack

Taunt
Stealth Rock
Earthquake (for lackign ground coverage on team, and hits Heatran)
Ice Fang (Hits Skymin, Dragons, etc)
 
Two problems here!

2. Do not post incomplete teams. If you're smart enough to pick five Pokemon, you can easily pick another one. If you're smart enough to pick nine, you can easily cut that down to six. Make sure to include natures, EV spreads and items. If you're unsure of your selections, make a note of this or simply add a question mark after them so team raters can help you focus on perceived problems first.

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you're having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Fix that up and post again; I'm sure you'll get some better rates that way.
