From what you were saying Mixed Tier is not a functional tier. It's a tier that poketubers made up because they don't care about the "Smogon Tiers" They love playing the game just for what it is and use everything they love to use. This team is just one of the examples of what I think about it. The "back ups" are just other ideas I had if there was a weakness in my team. I notice when I switched my Forretress for Escavalier. I would have nothing to get rid of Stealth Rock once it hit me. Snorlax gives me a great Wall, but Blissey gives me a great Cleric also so those two are unpredictable. Anyways, back if I offended you. I didn't offended you in anyway. I perfer Feraligatr then Gyarados because the common Gyarados has this moveset:

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Trait: Intimidate
252 Atk / 80 HP / 176 Spe
~ Waterfall
~ Stone Edge
~ Dragon Dance
~ Taunt
I know it has a better bulk and better attack, but with Feraligatr, I can make up with its incredible speed, (As stated before, my fully eved feraligatr outsped a fully eved jolteon) I absolutely love Gyarados, but I love even more is how Feraligatr can still compete even though hes outclassed my Gyarados. This statement goes back to how I love to use what the heck I like to and my preferences.
As of right now, these are the rules of the tournament i'm entering.
~Item Cause
~Sleep Cause
~Species Cause
~No Ubers/5th Gen Legendaries (Until they make a new Tier List)
~No Weather Base Teams
So threats Excadrill & Sandstorm, NP Thundurus, DD Salamence, Specs Latios, and Drizzle Tornadus is out of the question.
Pokemon that have been switched:
Special Defence Escavalier > SD Escavalier
Air Balloon Heatran > Orbed Gengar (Once someone enlightens me what air balloon is)
Pokemon pending:
Scarfed Garchomp or Orbed Sceptile
Curse Snorlax or Cleric Blissey or Banded Mamoswine
Tank Swampert or Lead Gliscor
DD Gyarados or DD Feraligatr
Both Garchomp and Sceptile are great pokemon. Garchomp has a better bulk and better speed (if scarfed) but my idea with Sceptile was to have him as my late game revenger and thats Garchomps only flaw. If hes scarfed and he brings out Mamoswine or Scarfed Starmie. I'm screwed. Sceptile allows me to hit Swampert. P.S. Can't use Garchomp anyways... x[
I like the idea of Mamoswine for a wall and Physical Attacker (plus the Priority Attack) but I wanted something I can switch in that can with stand threats like Infernape, Typhlosion (it's stupid how everyone uses Typlosion in OU just because he looks cool...) and Heatren. My flaw in B&W right now is prediction.
The Tank Swampert is an awesome pokemon to lead with, but with Gliscor, I have the defense bulk that I lack, regain health when I need it, and run with U-Turn when I know when something is going to happen.
Vrai, Thank you for taking time out of you life and giving me a great analyzes on my team and the weaknesses on it. Again, I didn't mean to offend you in anyway. I know that Gyarados outclasses Feraligatr, but I prefer him because of the EV set I use him that allows him to outspeed Jolteon and Scarfed Heatren. Other mistakes I might of made, please tell me. xD
