Moar OU team

Yeah, I went and made another OU team. I want to see what you all think of it and what needs to be improved/fixed (because like with everything I do, there's probably some error and/or things that need to be improved):


-Gyarados w/Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Intimidate
EVs; 156 HP, 72 Attack, 96 Defense, 180 Sp.Defense,4 Speed
Moves: Waterfall, Bounce, Dragon Dance, Taunt


Yeah, people prefer the new Bulkydos EV spread, but I like my Bulkydos to be, ya know, bulky.


-Conkeldurr w/Assault Vest
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Guts
EVs; 252 Attack, 236 Sp.Defense, 20 Speed
Moves: Drain Punch, Mach Punch, Ice Punch, Knock Off


-Donphan w/Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Attack
Moves: Earthquake, Rapid Spin, Ice Shard, Stealth Rock


I know Donphan isn't everyone's first choice for a spinner, but I didn't wanna use Excadrill for the millionth time, and Starmie/Tentacruel/Mandibuzz would just add another Electric weakness to the team.


-Mega Charizard Y w/Charizardite Y
Nature: Modest
Ability: Blaze--->Drought
EVs: 252 Sp.Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Defense
Moves: Flamethrower, SolarBeam, Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast


-Cresselia w/Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 200 Defense, 56 Sp.Defense
Moves: Moonlight, Ice Beam, Moonblast, Thunder Wave


The Sp.Defense EVs are so she can take special hits a little better. She is a mixed wall after all, and Donphan helps out with physical attackers.


-Roserade w/Black Sludge
Nature: Timid
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Sp.Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Moves: Leaf Storm, Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball, Sleep Powder


Why Roserade in OU? Because Rosie counters Rotom-W.


So please, tell me any and all suggestions/fixes/different team members you can think of. Thanks.

I'm kind of not convinced by your Gyarados' EV spread. What exactly are you trying to achieve with it? Oh, and your Conkledurr doesn't have any moves.

Don't know why Conkeldurr's moves weren't included, but I fixed that.

The idea with my Gyarados's EVs is that it has enough bulk to withstand several attacks so it can get more than one Dragon Dance and then wreck stuff. And I swear I once saw that very same EV spread on Gyarados's B/W Smogon page, though its not there now.

But if you could explain why the new EV spread is the preferred one, that'd be good too. As would any other advice you have.
