Vaporeon answers both the original threats effectively, and isn't retarded like Tentacruel. As for Mence, well, if you use Scizor, you have some decent Mence insurance, not to mention Gyarados and Swampert can sort of check Mence (Gyarados thanks to Intimidate).
That's a terrible Tyranitar, no offense to you personally. Please either slap a Life Orb on it, or just use the flat out Choice Bander:
Tyranitar @ Choice Band

Smeargle is random and idiotic, aka does nothing for this team at all. Use Dusknoir in its place, since currently, an SD Luke can 6-0 you with ease. Dusknoir can at least cover it a bit, though I'd much rather you run a different lead than Blissey. Hell, you could forget Dusknoir, grow a pair...
Yeah, but unlike Metagross Scizor doesn't have to explode on a threat like DD Gyara. You could simply just U-turn out to a counter like Zapdos. U-turn is essentially the best move for gaining the upper hand in any match.
Life Orb Gengar beats Metagross, but it doesn't beat Scizor. Life Orb...
I know the crossed out line is a joke, but Scizor's BP is a lot stronger.
And since you won't even consider using it, I've decided you just want to post this team and not accept any criticism I make.
Bullet Punch sucks also, I'd much rather use Ice Punch or even Thunderpunch in that slot...
That doesn't convince me. Scizor isn't that much weaker, has a priority attack that's much stronger than Metagross, has a stronger Pursuit, has a better typing, and can actually beat Life Orb / Choice Specs Gengar 1 vs. 1. I know you like CB Meta, believe me, I love it too, but in this metagame...
But what is Metagross really doing? Bullet Punch would help a lot against threats like Mence, Tar, Gengar, etc...U-turn can crush defensive Psychic-types similarly to Tyranitar (though worse in most cases, due to being stronger than...lol Dark Pulse).
lol Garchomp not able to do anything and being less effective than D-S / Latios / Skymin etc...
lol Latias being completely inferior to Latios in every single way possible bar defenses
lol relying on defenses on a metagame based around offense
Lol your argument sucks.
Okay, why would Gyarados hate Toxic from Blissey when it has Taunt? As much as I love CB Metagross, I'd rather you use CB Scizor, preferably a CB Scizor to prevent CM Latias from completely destroying you (and I mean COMPLETELY destroying you. Like, setting up on Tyranitar DESTROYING you).
