My first team since I've been back from vacation, during the holliday I really lost my touch in pokemon, this team isn't that good IMO but I don't have 6 high OU's atleast which I don't want. 3 Pokemon Weak to Flying and 3 Weak to Psycic doesn't help much either but luckily they aren't the most common types out there. This team consists of a couple of Pokemon I've wanted to try out for a while.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmba/dpmba442.png
Spiritomb @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EV Spread: 252hp/80Atk/176sp.def
Carefull Nature (+Sp.Def, -Sp.Atk)
-Taunt
-Will-o-Wisp
-Pain Split
-Sucker Punch

~Spiritomb is my lead. His primary functions are killing Deoxys-e, Azelf and Gengar. This EV Spread makes it able to survive 2 consective Draco Meteors from a standard Specsmence when painspliting after the first Draco meteor ofcourse. Other then that It's a fairly standard tomb, Taunt the first turn if I expect a switch Will-O-Wisp whatever commes in which is a physical attacker in alot of cases. Pain Split is Spiritomb's most reliabe way of healing. Sucker Punch is my primary form off attack which wont fail if my opponont fell for my taunt.

Mamoswine @ Leftovers
Ability: Obvious
EV Spread: 124 HP / 252 Atk / 64 Def / 68 SpD
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Sp.Atk)
-Rest
-Sleep Talker
-Earthquake
-Ice Shard

~ A Sleep Talking Mamoswine may sound weird but his great HP make it a pretty Bulky Pokemon. This is also my answer to Garchomp and Tyranitar. Earthquake gives Reliable STAB and Ice Shard much needed priority.

Weezing @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EV Spread: 252hp/252def/4sp.atk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
-Pain Split
-Fire Blast
-Thunder bolt
-Hidden Power [Ice]

~My Physical wall. Weezing is an underrated Wall, it has the power to counter Lucario, Heracross, Gyarados, Weavile and Physical Salamence. That's 6 major OU threats coverd by 1 Pokemon. Hidden Power [Ice] Helps with Garchomp a bit. Fire Blast is just to stop metagross a bit more. Pain Split for Recovery.

HOundoom @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EV Spread: 4HP/252Sp.Atk/252Spe
Modest Nature (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
-Nasty Plot
-Flamethrower
-Dark Pulse
-Hidden Power [Ground]

~Another underrated beast, once houndoom has set up only things faster and hax can beat him. Houndoom's defense is pretty low but it has 2 immunities I can switch in to, Fire which even boosts my flamethrower and psycic. The standard Houndoom runs 40 HP EV's to survive 3 Seismic Tosses from Blissey but Since I have Life Orb I wont survive them After all. I used to run a Timid nature to outspeed all lucario's but who uses Jolly/Timid lucario anyway, and Porygon-Z isn't all that common anymore. Hidden Power Ground is for heatran who walls me if I didn't have it.

Infernape @ Life orb
Ability: Blaze
EV Spread: 4hp/252Atk/252spe
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -Sp.Atk)
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-Fire Punch
-Thunder Punch

~I decided to go with Swords Dance Infernape instead of the ever so common Mixed Infernape because I wanted to try it out. I've tested it out on shoddy a bit already and it did better then I thought. It gets suprisingly much suprise kills being able to OHKO all of Infernape's standard counter after an SD. I'm now testing Fire Punch over Flare Blitz since the recoil can really tear infernape down taking about 50% of recoil damage after OHKO'ing an Cresselia or Hippowdon. ThunderPunch also OHKO's Gyarados after an SD.

Ludicolo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Swift Swim
EV Spread: 40HP/252Sp.Atk/216Spe
Modest Nature (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
-Grass Knot
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power [Electric]

~Ludicolo is my answer to bulky water types. The EV's make sure I outspeed standard Breloom by 1 point. Grass Knot for the bulky waters I want it to counter, Surf for more reliable STAB and Hidden Power [Electric] For gyarados which it makes a great counter for having a times 4 resist to water and a times 2 resist to ground. Swift Swim will Make Ludicolo a great assist to my team when my opponont uses a rain team which Cripples my main sweepers, Houndoom and Infernape

You should really consider having a pokemon that is a steel type wall, so you can take psychic and flying hits. Steelix or Bronzong?

Steelix or Bronzong?with steelix I'll lose my gyara/weavile/hera coverage weezing gives me so nothanks. Flying isn't really that common anyway only on the ocasonall gliscor in OU and starraptor/swellow lower tier. Plus I have both houndoom and spiritomb imune to psycic, and above that Spiritomb completly walls most deoxys-e and all azelf.

Flying is more common than you think. Nice team tho.

*Bronzong with Rain Dance + Ludicolo FTW"

I'm going to replace either machamp or Infernape since I don't need 2 physical fighters.I just need ideas

Physical sweeper, fast (possibly scarfed)

I can foresee a scarf togekiss wrecking havoc on this team.

I'd drop Tomb for a light screen Bronzong to help with special threats maybe even a sassy nature for it, cause Tomb isn't really doing much a lot of the most common leads are either taunt or sleep inducing both of which are usually fast pokes and leave Tomb helpless.

Zong@Leftovers
Sassy
252Hp 252Sp Def 6Atk
-Gyro Ball
-Stealth Rock
-Light Screen
-Earthquake

Props on the Ludicolo that is pretty awesome, I can see that working really well as a Vap/Pert/Gyara/Milotic counter.

Pretty cool team though ^_^

Spiritomb functions great as an anti lead actualy. It is the best counter for gengar/azelf/deo-e IMO. I'm now experimenting with lum berry on spiritomb so I don't have to switch to machamp to absorb sleep first.

Togekiss and yanmega are the only thing that gives this team trouble.

Zong will give me a bit more of a mixape/azelf etc. weak IMO
