Gyarados @ Leftovers
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Earthquake/Stone edge/Ice Fang
Taunt
Evs: 216 hp, 176 def, 116 sp
Adamant

This leads my team. Depending on the other lead pokemon determines how I'll play. I run into a tank I'll use taunt. If I run into something that I can use Dragon Dance with I will. Since intimidate will ruin any lead sweepers causing a switch most likely that's a free turn to Taunt, DD the next pokemon. If I sense an electric attack is coming I'll switch to electrivire to take the speed boost. I see a thunder wave or will-o-wisp coming I'll switch to heracross.

Heracross @ Choice Scarf
Megahorn
Close Combat
Stone edge
Night Slash/Toxic
6 hp, 252 sp/atk
Adamant
Guts

Revenge-killer and can sweep if guts activates.

Electrivire @ Expert Belt
Cross Chop
Earthquake
Ice Punch
Thunder Punch
6 hp, 252 sp/atk
Adamant

Mostly a sweeper, but really only after it gets a speed boost from it's ability or ninjask.

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Baton Pass
Swords Dance
Aerial Ace
Substitute
252 hp/sp, 6 atk
Jolly

Once into about mid battle I can pull this out and start to set up another sweeper. Subs allows me a free turn to transfer the speed boost to another pokemon. Namely electrivire or porygon-Z. Sword Dance if I can would be given to gyarados or heracross. Aerial Ace if I happen to see a heracross that I can kill or anything else.

Porygon-Z @ Life Orb
Tri Attack
Ice Beam/Thunderbolt
Nasty Plot
Dark Pulse
252 sp/sp atk, 6 hp
Timid
Adaptability


Sweeper set up. Benefits greatly from a speed boost from ninjask.

Metagross @ Life Orb
Explosion
Agility
Earthquake
252 sp/atk, 6 hp
Jolly

Really this was just thrown in as a filler. I can't really think of any pokemon that could help my team a whole lot. This can allow an easier time to set up ninjask if metagross kills the other pokemon when it explodes. Any suggestions to a better 6th pokemon would be appreciated.

As you can tell my team is based on prediction to get the most benefits from my team. Also it allows some late game sets ups as well. Any changes are welcomed.

Massively overweighted with physical attackers- If Pory goe's down a good physical wall is gonna screw you over. That needs changing, you could do with a couple of walls too.
Set's are all fine at a glance, but I cant stay so somebody else will have to offer a full rate.

Electivire wants Thunderbolt, especially with the lack of Special Sweepers on your team.

Agreed. Ninjask out, Regice in. I know it's a tank but you don't have one as well.

Massive Infernape weakness. Use Vaporeon as a Wishpasser, preferably over Ninjask. Try out Choice Specs for some extra damage:

Vaporeon @ Choice Specs
Modest
252 Def/252 SpA/6 HP
Wish
Surf/Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
HP Electric

NOT.

Ninjask is there to pass speed boosts and subs to vire and pory-z, who can sweep with the speed. So, more sp. attk on there. You said you threw agiligross in there as a filler. You could go with agilliluke as a special sweeper.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Timid/ Modest Nature
252 SPA/ 252 SPE/ 6 HP

Agility
Focus Blast
Shadow Ball
HP Ice

That's the standard set.

Edit: Oops. I jsut saw the INfernape weakness in there. Eitehr go with Vappy, as Vance said, or try Cress >> Vire.
