To be honest, I've gone with a team that has Pokemon I haven't used very much in the past, so...
How does this look so far and how well would it fare against the major threats??
I've had problems dealing with some in my past team, like Heatran, so I want those covered well this time.
Any help much appreciated!!
(This is for Shoddy, btw. ^_^

Dragonite won't pose a threat given the number of leads that completely outspeed and KO it, or wall it. I suggest Swampert as a lead for early SR and countering Ttar and other stuff.
Nothing to take sleep, meaning if a Hypnotiser like Bronzong or Gengar shows up, it might potentially incapacitate your pokemon.
Heracross does a lot of damage to this team, as you have no reliable counter against it - Skarm falls to Close Combat, Zapdos falls to Stone Edge. Hera can't really come in on your pokemon, but it is worthy to note.
Next is the lack of speed. Mainly Deoxys-E can cause damage, Zapdos is weakened by SR which would put it in range for a kill. Only Swampert and Milotic to an extent can handle Deoxys-E, and both do not like taking hits from it.
I would recommend a RestTalk Snorlax > Milotic, mainly for the better special walling.
Skarmory wants Brave Bird and 96 attack EVs to threaten a 3HKO on Gyarados, and Brave Bird > Drill Peck because of the increased damage.
Agilipassing is redundant on Zapdos as none of your team would be candidates for an Agilipass, Azelf is very fragile and KOed by priority sweepers, not to mention it requires an NP to really do damage. Dragonite is choiced, therefore locking you into a move, making it easier to wall. Roost + Light Screen should replace Agilipass.
Subpassing is basically the same thing.
Choice Band Dragonite wants Focus Punch > Thunderpunch as it hits many of its common switchins (Skarm, Hippowdon) hard.
Mixape weak too. It can outspeed and KO 4 out of 6 of your team, and deal significant damage to the other two. I would suggest a Cresselia over Zapdos to provide walling while countering Mixape.
Overall a solid team but has a few holes here and there.
