I would never have thought about making a thread like this, but Zapdos is about to drive me crazy in every area except Factory, of course, so if could replace that I'd appreciate it.
Oh yeah, and EVs are sorta a problem for Suicune and Zapdos since they can only be caught at level 50, and it would take to long to get them to lvl 100 right now. Metagross is odd, I can retrain a different Metagross to get perfect EVs, but currently, I can't remember how this current Metagross was trained. I could give you its current stats if that would help, just let me know.
Current team:
Metagross @ Shell Bell Choice Band
Trait: Clear Body
Lax Nature (+Def, -Sp. Def)
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Meteor Mash
- Sludge Bomb
CB on a full physical Metagross, please. Too bad about the nature, although it could be worse.
Zapdos @ Lum Berry
Trait: Pressure
Quirky Nature (-) and I also have a Calm Nature (+Sp. Def, -Atk.)
- Thunderbolt
- Drill Peck
- Thunderwave
- Light Screen
^Remember, I'd like to get rid of this one^
Mmmmyees...I can see why you'd want to get rid of this one. See my comment outside of the quote for suggestions.
Suicune @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
Careful Nature (+ Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam/Sleep Talk/Toxic
- Rest
- Calm Mind
Standard Calmcune, although since you've got a -SAtk nature you could try improving its staying power by letting it STalk away. Toxic is also pretty cool against water types like Vaporeon or Lapras since they can shrug of Ice Beams even with Calm Mind on.
Alright! Give me some suggestions, and be nice while doing it. Also keep in mind that someone helped me build this so it wasn't exactly all my ideas.

For the special sweeper, I'd normally say Starmie, but since you've already got Suicune on the team...maybe one of these?
Ludicolo @ Lum Berry
Trait: Swift Swim
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
Surf
Ice Beam
Giga Drain
Rain Dance
Standard sweeping Ludi. Because it's half-grass it doesn't have Cune's weaknesses, and since it has a decent SDef it can also switch into some stuff.
or
Jynx @ Lum Berry
Trait: Oblivious
Timid Nature (+Speed, -SAtk)
Ice Beam
Psychic/Calm Mind
Lovely Kiss
Substitute
one of my favourite spec. sweepers. It can't take hits too well, but it screws over special walls by putting them to sleep, subing up and then boosting its SAtk to the max (if you're using CM). With a CM or two its subs can even take some special attacks at which point it's basically gg time for your opponent unless they've got a roaring Suicune lurking in their team.
or possibly
Alakazam @ Lum Berry
Trait: Synchronize
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
Psychic
Fire Punch
Ice Punch/Thunderpunch
Calm Mind
Hope some of that helped. Also, if you go for Jynx or Alakazam then it's probably a good idea to put them into the lead slot since they aren't very good at switching in.
Hope some of that helped. ^^
By the way, House of Numbers: don't forget about Stalker Milo. It's far more efficient as a wall because of its status immunity and shameless Marvel Scale exploit:
Milotic @ Leftovers
Trait: Marvel Scale
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
Surf
Toxic
Rest
Sleep Talk
Some say Ice Beam over Toxic, I say never. Toxic is awesome because it hurts bulky waters. Besides, STalker Milo loves to drag battles out so why not take a move that benefits from just that? :3
