Perfectionist.

This team pretty much has perfection, i only really think that two moves should be changed. I guess since you are from smogon, you've learned everything you need to know to be develop a strong team.

 

[luke]

You're suggestions were both quite off. Stealth Rock isn't all that good on Blissey who has better things to do. And Life Orb is perfect on Nasty Plot Porygon-Z.

 

[Perfectionist]

So do you think this team is good overall, or will changing some Pokemon help benefit the team more?

 

[Azonic]

Blissey should always carry Aromatherapy.

The movesets are good, its just that you're open to fighting attacks, and Heracross eats every Pokemon on this team X_X

 

[Perfectionist]

Well Yanmega can outspeed him thanks to Speed Boost and Air Slash should kill it.
But do you have any Heracross counters that can take the place of something on this team?

 

[Azonic]

Speed Boost takes one turn to activate, and Heracross has Choice Scarf. X_X I guess Yanmega is sort of a counter... if Stone Edge misses. <_< I don't know, it looks like you're going to have to be playing with your lineup a little.

 

[Perfectionist]

Well what is a good Heracross counter that can be switched into my tream?

 

[Lalapizzame]

Well what is a good Heracross counter that can be switched into my tream?

Gliscor over Gardevoir could be good.Aerial Ace kills Heracross and Heracross really can't do anything with Choice Scarf.Gardevoir gets killed easily by physical attacks.

This team is extremely Weavile weak. Your only chance is Mamoswine, which is frail and doesn't enjoy Night Slash. Blissey gets Brick Break'd, Tangrowth is battered by Ice Punch. Too much stat inducers. If Mamoswine dies, you won't have any form of physical attacking. Try to replace Gardevoir for something physical, like a Salamence, that ends your BellyZard weakness. If you're afraid of sweeping over-kill, replace Pory-Z for a Forretress, that can spin out and put some Spikes up. That would put an end to your Weavile Weakness. But you're raped by Heracross too.. So, you can choose between Forretress and Weezing/Gliscor. I think that Weezing would suit a better role here. Consider a mixed sweeper like TTar or Lucario.
