    Pinsir (Sylar)@Choice Band
    Impish/Jolly: 240 Atk / 152 Def / 118 HP
    ability: Mold Breaker
    something else
    Close Combat
    X-Scissor
    Stone Edge/Rock Slide

    Tank Pinsir with speed boost. not entirely sure on nature/Evs

    Like Heracross, CB is MUCH more useful here. Also, give it some speed. Earthquake provides almost no additional coverage to what you have and should be replaced, but I'm not too familiar with its movepool.

    A normal attack would probably do here, but a ghost move (if it has any) would be best probably.


    Electivire (Elle)@Expert belt
    Lonely
    252 Attack, 80 Sp. Atk, 176 Speed

    Hidden Power [Ice]
    Thunderbolt
    Flamethrower
    Cross Chop

    pretty standard MixedVire here. T-bolt for Skarwall. naturally

    Honestly I'd run either a full-physical Vire or a full-mixed.

    Blissey (PinkManatee) @ leftovers (cleric, sp. wall)
    Bold: 252 HP / 252 def / 6 Sp Def
    seismic toss
    aromatherapy
    softboiled
    icebeam

    pretty standard cleric blissey

    Um others can help with EVs and crap.

    Porygon-Z (OS X Leopard)@ choice specs(Bolt-Beamer)
    Adaptability
    Modest/Timid 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
    T-Bolt
    Ice Beam
    Dark Pulse
    Tri Attack

    pretty standard PgonZ the new and improved operating system from Apple.

    You'll be vasty disappointed with Scarf Porygon-Z, nasty plot or Specs Pory Z are way better.

    Bronzong (Liberty Bell)@leftovers/occa berry (mixed wall)
    Levitate
    Sassy: 200 hp / 124 def / 176 Spdef
    Gyro Ball
    Hypnosis
    Stealth rock
    EQ

    not too sure on moveset, but mixed wall bronzong.

    Um max HP EVs.

    Steelix (Metallica) @ leftovers (physical wall)
    Relaxed
    252 hp / 172 def. / 86 atk
    Stealth rock
    rest
    EQ
    gyro ball

    pretty standard steelix. stealth rock just for support

    Kind of does what bronzong does only better at taking physical hits and worse at taking special, replacve either this or Zong.

    Lack of a bulky water hurts since almost all forms of Infernape roll you over.
     
    I dont remember a whole lot about the optimal suicune set, but thats who i replaced zong with. I also replaced PgonZ with Gengar. Cant believe I was such an idiot not to see that huge weakness.

    changes made
     
    Cant stop for a full rate but put those Def EVs on steelix into SpDef; With a beneficial nature and Max IVs a steelix with no Def EVs will still have well over 400.
     
    that sounds kinda interesting...ill think about that. I also replaced pinsir with mixedApe. although now i have a EQ weakness for 3 pokes, but 2 that are pretty much immune to EQ, so i should be fine there. Need more suggestions

    feeling very ignored here
     
    Well your team has a ton of trouble switching into Earthquake, especially boosted ones which will smash everything except Gengar and possibly Suicune, depending on how powerful it is...and Gengar is anything but a safe switch-in on a physical sweeper.

    Choice specs Alakazam can at least 2HKO anything on this team, including blissey.
