    Hi! I was going to use this team competitively but i'm not sure it would work...i just need a variety of opinions to make sure it would be a sucessful team. Also I need 3 more!!!!! I was wondering if i should use pokemon that can take advantage of the sunny weather, i was going to use a heat wave honchkrow but i'm not sure... HELP

    Thanks :)

    Heracross: Impish: Toxic Orb: EV's: 208 HP / 104 Atk / 196 Spe
    Ability: Guts MOVES: Facade-Megahorn-Bulk Up-Stone Edge

    Clefable: Modest: Expert Belt: EV's: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
    Ability: Magic guard MOVES: Ice Beam-Cosmic Power-Swift-Softboiled

    Leafeon: Adamant: rose Incence: Ev's132 HP / 4 Atk / 120 Def / 252 Spe
    Ability:Leaf Guard MOVES: Sunny Day-Leaf Blade-X Scissor-Swords dance
     
    Heracross' current set is seriously walled by Steels. As appealing as Facade sounds for the doubled power while statused, Low Kick is the better option for hitting Steel Pokemon hard, especially considering the fact that most of them are heavy.

    Clefable is rather terrible in the upper tiers, to be honest. Blissey is far superior in the supporting department because of its better Special bulk:
    -Aromatherapy
    -Softboiled
    -Seismic Toss/Flamethrower
    -Thunder Wave/Toxic
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Natural Cure

    Like Clefable, Leafeon isn't too good either. Also, Leafeon shares a Fire and Flying weakness with Heracross; I'll suggest something like Heatran to help cover those weaknesses:
    -Fire Blast/Overheat
    -Earth Power
    -Hidden Power (Ice)/Dragon Pulse
    -Explosion
    Nature: Rash/Naive
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Scarf/Choice Specs

    But, since you now have 2 Pokemon weak to Fighting, I'll put Gengar in as your next Pokemon:
    -Substtute
    -Shadow Ball
    -Focus Blast
    -Hidden Power (Fire)/Hypnosis/Pain Split
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    If it's allowed, I'll let the others come up with suggestions for the last slots.

    The reason why I didn't suggest Sunny Day was because it amplifies Heracross' Fire weakness.
     
    I would go for a scarfed, fully offensive Heracross. Like mentioned without a fighting move, it gets walled by steel.
     
    I used facade because of heracrosses gut ability and the toxic orb, and while poisoned it couldn't be put under sleep or paralyzation. I think I might swap leafeon for vapoureon or umbreon, and i like the use of blissey, but with ice beam instead of flamethrower, and toxic over thunder wave, thanks for the tips :)

    The reason why Flamethrower or Seismic Toss is used over Flamethrower is because while Ice Beam has good coverage, it's stopped by Steels (and other Ice Pokemon). Flamethrower gives Blissey a way to hit Steels hard, while Seismic Toss inflicts consistent damage on the opponent, given Blissey's average Special Attack.
