Who Knew Slots Could Be So Important?

Ok, well basically i'm confused on my last slot for my team. I checked the Marriland Team Builder to help figurer out the right poke, but none I could find. I found a great poke, Gliscor, because it walls what I always have trouble with, Heracross and Lucario, and the types worked out great, except for one thing. I was 3 pokes weak to Water =\ so I NEED suggestions please. Here's my team BTW.


Infernape@Life Orb

Naïve/ EV: 252 speed, 200 atk, 58 sp. Atk

Flamethrower

Stone Edge

Close Combat

Grass Knot

Basic MixedNape. Gets rid of a lot of threats. Such as Bliss, Skarm, Dos, Zong, Pert, ect. Basic wall crusher, nuff' said.


Forretress@Leftovers

Relaxed/ EV: 252 HP, 162 Atk, 96 Def

Toxic Spikes

EQ

Rapid Spin

Explosion


Now, this poke is very important to my team because as you can see, im 3 pokes weak to SR on this team. Rapid Spin FTW! EQ is for predicting switches into say Infernape and such. Explosion is self explanitory. Toxic Spikes is well....because he's a spiker lol.


Blissey@Leftovers

Bold/ EV: 200 HP, 252 Def., 58 sp. Defense

Counter

Soft boil

Thunder Wave

Seismic Toss

May need help with spread. Now, this guy is my special wall, so that’s why it has no 252 EVs in HP. It needs all the Defense it can get, espically with the set I gave it. It needs special defense EVs since that’s what it is right? Any comments on him would be great.

Shedinja@Focus Sash

Adamant/ EV: 252 atk, 252 speed, 6 sp. Atk

Will O’ Wisp

Shadow Sneak

Protect

X Scissors

Nobody hardly uses this guy in standard play because of its terrible stats and its death to anything like Hail or Sand, SR, spikes, Toxic Spikes, ect. This guy is a nice surprise late game though. All I need to do is get rid of what hurts him early, make sure there’s no SR or whatever on the field, and he works well. Sneak finishes off pokes, Scissors is for STAB or whatever, WoW is to hurt things like chomp and with FS, he can stay alive one turn. Protect is for Scouting and for withering away HP from WoW. Works great to scout what Cario is lurking, or Mence or whatever.

Starmie@Life Orb

Modest/ EV: 252 sp. Atk, 252 speed, 6 HP

Ice Beam

Physic

Thunderbolt

Surf

Alright, this is my main special sweeper. Great variety of attacks to target many pokes. Surf for STAB and coverage over Nape as well as Physic. Thunderbolt is for Gyrados, Skarm, ect. Ice Beam is to take out Chomp, Mence, ect. Pretty useful.

Aerodactyl@Choice Scarf

Adamant/ EV: 252 atk, 252 speed, 6 HP

Ice Fang

Crunch

Earthquake

Stone Edge

Main physical sweeper. I use Scarf instead of Orb because it will surprise any ScarfChomp users with Ice Fang, Crunch is for Gengars and cress, and Noir, SE takes out my Ice weakness on him, and is good type coverage, and EQ is STAB and a good overall move.



Now, do you see what I mean? I listed in Shedinja as the mystery poke because I thought it may be fun to use. Its not all bad, and with Forretress i'll make sure to spin whatever is on the field. Also accepting rates to this team, but I need some help lol. Thanks for reading.
 
100 Atk, 176 S.Atk, 232 Spd are better MixApe Evs

Outspeeds what it needs to, has a stronger Close Combat/ Stone Edge and guarantees a OHKOs on Max HP Swampert which is all physical Pert. Fire Blast should be considered for hitting Zong harder, as well as random Celebi that survive from Flamethrower, yes it happens.


Toxic Spikes without a Heracross counter is asking to be swept, Stealth Rock or Spikes plz. Shed Shell as well, if youre going to blow up then why even worry about recovery? Gyro Ball > EQ, to make more of an attempt at killing Deoxys-e and taking advantage of the Relaxed nature


Shedinja should be removed, Spin support isnt enough, all anyone has to do is bring in Tyranitar/ Hippowdon/ Abamasnow and the battle instantly becomes 5-6. You need an Ape and Hera counter badly anyway


Timid nature on Starmie, unless you like being outsped by Gengar, Infernape and Garchomp.


Aerodactyl is wasting EVs with max speed and scarf, you only need enough to outspeed the fastest Deoxys, the rest should go into HP
 
I think a good setup sweeper such as yachechomp or gyarados would work well there, Shedi is basically a huge gaping hole in your team as is so pretty much anything will be an improvement.
