    Yeah, my last two teams were weather based, so I'm switching over to regular. Most of these pokemon, if not all, are indeed OU. Expect some switchups though if you actually face me.

    Metagross@Leftovers
    Impish
    252HP/164atk/92def

    Reflect
    Thunderpunch
    Meteor Mash
    Earthquake

    Won this beast in T_S's : Pure Tournament :, and it's an amazing pokemon. Makes a great lead against Gyarados since I have T-punch.

    Pory-Z@Wise Glasses/Choice Scarf
    Modest
    252sp.atk/252spd/6HP

    T-bolt
    Ice Beam
    Tri Attack
    Dark Pulse

    I really dislike Choice Scarf with Z since it's commonly predicted, but if anyone else has a better set for Modest, let me know. Unfortunately HP is Dark, so Dark Pulse > HP Dark.

    Infernape@Life Orb
    Naive
    252spd/36sp.atk/216atk

    Stone Edge
    Grass Knot
    Flamethrower
    Close Combat

    Sorta altered MixApe, but works just fine. I'm a lil irritated that it doesn't 2hko Suicune with Close Combat, although it comes VERY close.

    Forretress@Leftovers
    Impish
    252def/252HP/6atk

    Gyro Ball
    Earthquake
    Stealth Rock
    Rapid Spin

    I FINALLY HAVE A RAPID SPINNER! After I thought about it, I liked Gyro Ball, but I think I best go for Relaxed. I picked it over Explosion so Gengar doesn't come in and fully lol.

    Blissey@Leftovers
    Bold
    252HP/252def/6sp.def

    Seismic Toss
    Aromatherapy
    Ice Beam (I'm really gonna miss T-Wave, but Ice Beam will give me some needed Dragon coverage.)
    Softboiled

    If I go with this, I'll worry less about Choicing Pory-Z. Anyway, I know Gengar comes in and walls it, but I'll just T-wave and potentially stall it out; that or switch if needed.

    Milotic@Leftovers
    Bold
    252HP/232def/24sp.atk

    Rest
    Sleep Talk
    Ice Beam
    HP Electric

    This setup is rather strange, but it's so effective. Someone thought they could bring in Gyarados and set up, but it's capable of a 2hko, so lolz at you Gyarados!. I went through some major breeding to get it, but I got it.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since my team's not raped by Stealth Rock, Skarm can go over Forry if I need to at times, but if I do so, then Tentacruel must replace Milotic. Also, my ScarfVoir's on hold to go over Pory Z and Weavile over Metagross. I'm rather weak to MixVire that runs Flamethrower for I don't have many effective switch ins. That'll have to be resolved.

    Well, some suggestions would be nice on what I can do to help fix it up.

    NOt much time for a proper rate, but a few things.

    1. Does Bliss have NC or SG? SG should probably be the option if you're running Aromatherapy.

    2. Take Sleep Talk from Milotic. You have Aromatherapy, so probably Hypnosis?

    3. No No on your "Mix-Ape". Stone Edge and Thunderpunch pretty much cover the same thing (Gyara), and what Thunderpunch doesn't cover, Flamethrower and CC do, so choose 1 or the other. (SE Plox) May I say Grass Knot or HP Ice? Grass Knot takes all Hippowdon without at least 52+ Sp. Def EV's (31 IV's) for a 1HKO, as well as Bulky waters, most notably Swampert. HP Ice is for Salamence and Chainchomp etc.

    4. Ice Beam/Thunderbolt over T-Wave on Bliss please, and run SG. (With Aromatherapy)

    5. Give Milotic more Sp. Def, as you already have Gross and Forry for the Defensive part. Run more like:

    252 HP, 192 Sp. Def, 64 Def

    Bliss is Serene Grace. Seeing as I have enough Electric, I can consider it :/

    I'll have to try and get the berries to Re-EV my Milo if that's the case.

    Grass Knot > T-punch I suppose? That way my coverage is a lil better... I hope 250 sp. atk is enough...

    I don't like to constantly swap in my Bliss to Aromatherapy, and I'm not one to rely on Hypnosis. I like Restalk so I can keep trying to hit Gyarados if it remains out.

    Updates are up. I'll probably add potential replacements later.
     
    Also, if you want a better Porygon-Z, say hello the the ultra killer

    Porygon-Z-Choice Specs
    Modest-252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP
    ADAPTABILITY (Adapatability Modest Choice Specs Tri Attacks, dude I take down BLISSEY with this thing)
    Tri Attack
    Thunderbolt
    Ice Beam
    Dark Pulse

    As you can see, it has Choice Specs. Now since most people expect Scarf, they usually switch into something faster. And then KAPOW, Tri Attack gets em, does 30-40% on a Blissey with tri Attack.
