I never said 'Vire would be the one killing Swampy. Some other Poke would.
And if a 'Vire has HP Grass, then that means it's Special orientated, and Gliscor dies to Special moves anyway.
It's a good team, but the problem is 4 out of the 6 have double weaknesses.
That's not as much an issue as you might think. It would take an idiot to keep a Pokémon in battle against something it'll obviously lose to. It's like trying to use Swampert against Roserade; it won't end well for you.
This is a switch-happy game, so don't think that those double weaknesses will be a problem.
Yep, Fire Fang may not be the best idea, it's kind of a weak move, and only kills Steel, Grass, and Bug. You already have Steel and Bug covered with EQ and Stone Edge, so I suggest Fly if you really hate Grass, or maybe Brick Break.Yeah.
Any other comments from anyone?

Articuno is double dead by stone edge, and I see where you're coming from with the 2 turn thing, its an invitation to switch.I refuse to use 2 turn moves like Fly. Brick Break might work, but I think Fire Fang is needed, in case someone tries to get smart with their own Articuno or something.

Articuno can learn Roost and take the first turn to recover from Stealth Rock's hit. That said, Articuno can still suffer flinching and/or a burn from Fire Fang, not just take major damage from it.
You have to think math. Fire Fang is 65, and unless you're against Scizzor or a grass/bug type, it only does super effective, at 130. Dragon Claw hits for 120 with stab, which is almost as much, and can't miss. Stone Edge can miss, but it hits for 400 on Articuno, and its high crit chance gives it a good chance to hit for 800.
Then it's for Scizor and Forretress.
So you'd rather have a move for 2 things rather than all normal, ice and dark types?
I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing, I'm trying to help out, it's not worth getting a move for 2 things.
Super effective isn't everything. Going through the regular game, my torterra evolution chain had HP flying, and against a Heracross or Breloom or something it was 4 times effective against, it did almost no damage, because the base was 10 or so. The same situation is true for Fire Fang, it's just not good enough base power without stab. Alright man, see you later, I gotta shower. Take what I'm saying into consideration.Well, the thing is, Fire Fang can hit any Ice, Grass, Steel, and Bug Pokémon super effectively. That includes Articuno, Heracross, Abomasnow, Skarmory, Forretress, Scizor, Roserade, and Celebi, for starters. It's also neutral on Empoleon, which is a plus in my opinion.

The team is only weak to Gengar if it runs Hidden Power Ice/Energy Ball/Shadow Ball/Focus Blast and even then it won't do much to Registeel or Articuno unless it carries specs, and if that were the case it wouldnt be too hard to outpredict Gengar.
Gengar really isn't much of a threat anymore
My only real concern is whether you'd be able to handle weather teams for long enough, namely a powerful swift swimmer like Kingdra. But other then that it's really hard to find weaknesses to this team.
TTar with Ice Beam maybe prove to be a handful as well.
God so hard finding weaknesses I go to the not so common pokemon (TTar is common, TTar with Ice Beam is less common)
