NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON AN OUTSIDER
Well, after a good bit of setting out and testing this team, I think its finally done. I'm really quite proud of this one that why I've decided to take the title and appearance more serious. And I'm going to do better descriptions so you guys really know the aim of each and every pokemon on the team and how they benefit the team. This is sort of an offensive team but most of the pokemon are bulky so I guess its called a Bulky Offence Team I think? This team is also on Serebii so you guys can check it out there aswell. Well, thats all I've got to say about that. Thanks guys.

Team at a Glance
Team In Detail
Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EV's: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
Moveset:
~ Fire Blast
~ Earth Power
~ Hidden Power Grass
~ Stealth Rock
Why This Pokemon?
With his great offence status in the special department along with his great defenses, he comes as a viable pokemon to the team and a great lead. Once he sets up his Stealth Rock, he can then begin sweeping the opponents team with either his STAB Fire Blast, Earth Power to handle Tyranitar and various other pokemon while Hidden Power Grass handles water types such as Rotom-W who can get in the way of the team.
Gengar @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EV's: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
Moveset:
~ Substitute
~ Disable
~ Shadow Ball
~ Focus Blast
Why This Pokemon?
Gengar has been my favourite pokemon for a while now, not just for his appearance but also for his sheer strength. He does have hindered defenses however, but that doesn't stop him from sweeping. He also serves as a Rapid Spin Blocker which also benefits the team a lot. Once he Substitutes, he block being paralysed or Pursuited and he can then use Disable, a great combo, which works wonders on pokemon such as Ferrothorn, Blissey and Conkeldurr. Shadow Ball is for STAB and Focus Blast handles steel types.
Starmie @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EV's: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
Moveset:
~ Rapid Spin
~ Surf
~ Thunderbolt
~ Recover
Why This Pokemon?
Starmie does one job and one job only, Rapid Spinning. He is the most used Rapid Spinner in the game due his incredible speed and not to mention his awesome ability which gives him an extra bit of bulk. Also, he can get a few sweeps done with STAB Surf and Thunderbolt which handles Gyarados and various other pokemon. Also, Recover gives it another extra bit of bulk which makes him hard to take down.
Scrafty @ Leftovers
Ability: Shed Skin
EV's: 252 HP / 8 Atk / 248 SpD
Nature: Sassy
Moveset:
~ Bulk Up
~ Drain Punch
~ Payback
~ Rest
Why This Pokemon?
Although he is not a Top Tier Threat, Scrafty still has a niche which benefits this team a lot. He serves a Special Wall who can then transform into a Tank once Bulk Up is used, which then raise his Attack and Defence through the roof which makes him nearly impossible to take down. Drain Punch heals him up and does considerable damage along with STAB Payback which is very useful as he most likely will attack last. And then theres Rest, this heals him fully and thanks to Shed Skin he wakes up almost instantly.
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EV's: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Nature: Impish
Moveset:
~ Swords Dance
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Fang
~ Taunt
Why This Pokemon?
One of the most used pokemon in the metagame and for a good reason. Thanks to his new ability, he has became he more bulky and, yet again, he can transform into a Tank once Sword Dance is used. He benefits this team a lot thanks to Ice Fang which can OHKO various dragon types after one or two Sword Dances. STAB Earthquake is also extremely powerful. Taunt helps him handle a various amount of sweepers that have a power raising move such as Conkeldurr and Dragonite.
Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
EV's: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
Moveset:
~ Dragon Dance
~ Outrage
~ Fire Punch
~ Earthquake
Why This Pokemon?
Dragonite just sweeps, sweeps, sweeps and sweeps again. He is a true powerhouse to the team and thanks to his new ability Multiscale, he has ever more bulk than he has before. I gave him a Jolly nature due to the fact that his Attack will already be sky high and extra Speed would benefit him more, especially after a Dragon Dance when the fun really gets started. Outrage is for a great STAB and he can snap out of confusion thanks to Lum Berry. Fire Punch handles pokemon such as Scizor. Earthquake is for Jirachi and Heatran coverage.
Conclusion
