Regaining Milotic's Throne?
 
Ok, so I'm sharing a team with you guys that does well for me, at least on shoddy.

Forretress @ Shed Shell
Trait: Sturdy
EV: 240 HP / 252 Def / 16 SpAtt
Nature: Relaxed
Spikes
Zap Cannon
Rapid Spin
Explosion

Useful lead, Zap Cannon for Gyara leads, Shed Shell in case people try Magnezone, Spikes is obvious, and Explosion when he's done. Predict fire move switches to:

Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
EV: 6 Att / 252 SpAtt / 252 Speed
Nature: Hasty
Flamethrower
Earth Power
Dragon Pulse
Explosion

I like this guy. Maxed out speed for precaution, although I may not need it. Deals with Magnezone easily, covers a lot things. I like Dragon Pulse for it's decent neutral damage over most things.

Garchomp @ Life Orb
Trait: Sand Veil
EV: 6 HP / 252 Att / 252 Speed
Nature: Jolly
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Dragon Claw
Fire Fang

Finally been converted to the ways of Garchomp, after being pummeled by this guy so often. And so far I'm liking this set up. As for the use of Fire Fang, it works out well for me, doing significant damage to Steels. Ok, Skarm may be able to come in and roar me away, but he can't do that too often.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EV: 120 HP / 252 Def / 116 SpAtt / 20 SpDef
Nature: Bold
Ice Beam
Seismic Toss
Thunder Wave
Softboiled

Yeah, it's the egg. Considering Sing over T-wave, but paralysis gives me more support. We all know how this goes otherwise. EV spread gives me a more dangerous Ice Beam without affecting her walling ability too much.

Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EV: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Att
Nature: Impish
Earthquake
Roar
Slack Off
Stealth Rock

Second physical wall, starts Sandstorm up. Stealth Rock gives me some much needed support, Roar is there for pseudohaze (I did have Yawn, but Roar seems better), Slack Off for lasting power. I didn't give this guy a chance at first, but I like him, he's a premier physical wall.

Milotic @ Leftovers
Trait: Marvel Scale
EV: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpDef
Nature: Calm
Sleep Talk
Rest
Surf
HP Electric

I figured Milotic needs some love, since she hasn't been seen so much lately. HP Electric, while attracting Electivire once people figure out her moveset, stops me being walled by other waters and says hi to Gyarados. ReSTalk gives me nice lasting power over Recover, compensating for the Sandstorm.

From what I can see, my main weakness comes from Milotic, maybe I can be different and throw Slowbro in her slot instead. I'm starting to realise why she's not doing so well in this metagame, but she's still a nice Pokemon and not one to be counted out easily.

This team has a terrible Starmie weak. Along with another physical attacker, this team is beaten.

How?O.o SpecsStarmie would 2 Hit ko(and life orbed) and Star doesn't mind getting statused.

Blissey can COMPLETELY block Starmie. Milotic can piss it off a little, but not with RestTalk I don't believe.
EDIT: btw, you need better Blissey EVs

212 HP / 216 Def / 80 SAtk
Or if you want the max Defense, minus 36 in HP and add them to Defense.

EDIT 2: Although I did just notice Blissey is your ONLY line of Defense against Starmie :x

Hmmm, Fire Fang over Fire Blast for Skarm? I guess it has SD, so ok there. I guess Biss isnt in need of Aromatherapy, your team isnt very status weak either.
