Add Swampert and lead with him since Garchomp is banned from standard play anyway. Also 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Attack is his preferred EV spread.

Also Thunderbolt on Starmie otherwise Gyarados decimates you.

Weavile and Togekiss aren't doing anything for this team. Weavile is excessively metagame weak and can't really lead unless it does its anti-lead set which is pretty predictable, and Togekiss' only two options to pass Nasty Plots to are Magnezone and Yanmega, both of whom are choiced and therefore will be hard pressed to sweep. I'd switch up one of these sets, maybe just give Yanmega a Life Orb and do Speed Boost instead of Tinted Lens, but Togekiss and Yanmega do share the same weaknesses so idk. =/

Don't double post please, just edit your previous one next time.

And Starmie and Swampert can benefit from NP passes but not as much as a dedicated special sweeper would =(
