    Many of these movesets are personally tailored smogon sets, I'm not looking too much for critic on my movesets (though I would like to know if the massive amounts of support is over done) but more about how well my team works together and how well the movesets compliment each other.
    A flaw I'm already aware about is that half of this team is weak to rock :C
    I'm willing to switch pokemon and moves out for better options but not complete rebuilds. Thank you in advance for any pointers!
    I'm playing SoulSilver if you were curious :D

    SD Weavile is very metagame weak nowadays due to the presence of Scizor. CB variants are especially nasty to this team since it can just spam U-turn and Bullet Punch while SR wears everything down.

    Offensive Zapdos also usually prefers a Timid nature to outspeed positive base 90 and neutral base 100 speed pokemon, plus Life Orb grants more than enough power. You should also add Roost > Roar to help with LO recoil and Stealth Rock.

    I'd remove SD Weavile in favor or a more stable sweeper. In particular, SD Lucario resists most priority moves and is more effective as a late-game sweeper. He also isn't horribly Scizor weak, lol.

    Also, both Mismagius and Togekiss seems like overkill in terms of support since you only have two sweepers to begin with. I'd drop Mismagius since it's much more effective in UU and a lot of OU pokemon will be able to hit through it before it gets a chance to set up. This leaves you with a lot of options for adding a bit more offense. Latias in particular has decent synergy with this team as it resists electric, grass and fire attacks aimed at Brozong, Togekiss and Starmie, but it's up to you I suppose.
