Hmmm, firstly, i would get yourself a better sp.wall, Blissey, snorlax, may be cool to beat up scarf Gar. >> Cress IMO.

I use 252 HP / 200 DEF / 58 SP.DEF @Relaxed on my Zong, Hypnosis/Gyro Ball/Steal Rock/Reflect <<Which helps with Tar and can easily handle D-E...

Make your mence Bulky 224 HP / 12 ATT / 196 DEF / 76 SPEED @Jolly Dragon Dance/Dragon Claw/Earthquake/Roost to beat up heracross AND Lucario.

Id advise against Tentacruel and toxic spikes on a team this hera weak, may i suggest Starmie >> Tenta now that cress is gone, it also ensures that you have a Gyarados and Mixape counter aswell.

Lastly drop either mamo or Breloom for a sp.sweeper now that your mence is physical and bulky.

I also see a problem with Cresselia walling your entire team, maybe in that sp.sweeper slot something to deal with that may be advisable AKA. Gengar, Yanmega etc...

Why would you even leave it in on one of those =/. No is the answer...Its meant for late game sweeps and for switching in on PHYSICAL attacks, hence why i mentioned Lucario and heracross...

This is why a special wall comes in handy see Snorlax and Blissey...


EDIT : I would forget Cress, you already have a status absorber in Lax, get a special sweeper that is able to do something to foe cresselia (who walls your entire team), e.g Gengar Yanmega etc.

Tyranitar counters Celebi pretty well due to the Sandstorm boost which pretty much renders Celebi's Grass Knot useless. Therefore, is a great counter, if not, the best counter there is. Blissey just renders Zapos set-up fodder unless it's a physical gimmick set, which is pretty uncommon. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen it on Shoddy. =/ Electrivire; Lanturn; and Jolteon can benefit from Zapdos's Thunderbolt, which pretty much renders it useless also, because all it can do really is Drill Peck w/ the gimmick set. Even so, Lanturn is pretty bulky, so it doesn't hit him that hard. Jolteon is pretty fragile, and may not like repeated Drill Pecks.' I'm not sure about Electrivire, though.

As for the ground types, do you have a specific one in mind? If not, I really can't say anything here =)

Don't fear Electivire. Mence can survive Ice punch and EQ it down. Breloom can Spore it and since it's base defense is only 67, anything super effective will hurt it pretty badly.

Mixape can 4/6 your team, so if you lose Starmie or Yanemga, and the other team is packing him...But if you can keep Mie alive, you can beat him.

Thats kinda why Starmie is a mixape counter >_<, if any team looses their counter for a specific pokemon, the same thing will happen.

I think a steel wall >> Swampert would benefit you ALOT, or weavile owns your team, it 2hko's swampert after a swords dance, Ice Shard owns Yanmega....yeah..Forretress, Bronzong etc wil help in that aspect...

What is your reasoning behind this? You can't just expect somebody to change a Pokemon without giving valid reasons.

I would touch on two pokemon I feel are slightly out of place - Breloom and Yanmega.

I myself find Breloom really good to use against an inexperienced player, but Breloom is extremely easy to predict, often following a standard pattern of either:
  • Spore, then Focus Punch
  • Sub, if
    • a threatening pokemon comes in, Spore
    • If an obvious RestTalker comes in, and is weak to Focus Punch/Seed Bomb (Heatran and Milotic fine examples), attack first
To follow up the second step you can block its attacks with a wall THEN switch out to said RestTalker to take Spore and Breloom is walled for eternity.

It doesn't help that base 70 speed is lacking and Breloom is for the most part, either too slow when Adamant or hits a lot less harder when Jolly.

Yanmega takes 50% from Stealth Rock on the way in and as such is only viable for a lead or with a Spinner, which your team lacks.

I would advise a more threatening sweeper over Breloom, I would recommend Heracross to break Cresselia which your team has trouble doing. I would recommend the Choice Scarf set (216 Speed EVs) over the Choice Band set because of Dugtrio - you would need Heracross to break Cress and such.

Tyranitar also poses a major threat to your team able to OHKO almost every member of your whole team. I would recommend SpecsLucario > Yanmega, 4x resistance to both of Tyranitar's STAB moves is great and SpecsLuke can also aid a Heracross sweep by ridding you of Gliscor.

Simply use Heracross first to scout for the physical walls, and get Lucario in and use the attack that would severely damage said wall.
Note: You would need HP Ice on Lucario to OHKO Gliscor, which may be hard to find for WiFi

Jolly/Adamant
-Stone Edge/Fire Blast/Thunder Fang/Fire Fang/Aerial Ace

Lord Mike, you do realize that salamence he has is to counter Lucario and Heracross right ? And was one of the factors he wanted to fix with his team hence the" Heracross ate my team" title.

Taking away from its Def, AND speed AND Roost is not helping with Heracross.

Has anyone seen the Bronzong with Gyro Ball. That basically flattens the Weavile weakness.
Bronzong's Gyro Ball OHKOs Weavile 1.5 times over. You won't be taking Physical hits well, though, as Bronzong has no recovery move and Bulkymence is meant for late game. Maybe Forry over Bronzong? it gets Gyro Ball and takes hits better.

...And? It's not he's plagiarizing or anything. If anything, you should be happy he agrees with you ._. Not to mention that that post was pretty much useless.

Bronzong does fine against Weavile though. It usually won't lose, though forretress can wall Weavile better, Bronzong also beats Mamoswine who otherwise destroys everything (including Forretress). I would honestly just stay with Bronzong.
