    ok. heres 5/6 of my team:

    Weavile @Life Orb (physical sweeper)
    jolly: 252 atk, 252 spd 6 hp
    night slash
    ice punch
    brick break
    Aerial Ace

    standard weavile: self explanitory

    Togekiss@leftovers (annoyer/special wall)
    serene grace
    Timid: 252spatk 252 spdef 6 hp
    air slash
    aura sphere
    thunder wave
    roost

    paraflincher/ special wall for extra support

    Gengar @ choice specs (special sweeper)
    Timid
    252 Satk/252 Spd/6 Hp
    T-bolt
    Shadow Ball
    Focus Blast
    Energy Ball

    pretty standard gengar,Energy ball to cover swampert, or other bulky ground or water types

    Milotic@leftovers (mixed wall)
    Bold: 158 hp 252 def 100 Spdef
    Hypnosis
    recover
    ice beam
    surf

    mixed wall milotic. no, i dont want restalking.

    Steelix @ macho brace (physical wall)
    Relaxed
    252 hp, 172 def. 86 atk
    SR
    stone edge
    EQ
    gyro ball

    pretty standard here. SR- "steelix is a horrible stealth shuffler dude!" "too bad. hes not shuffling any one. just SR'ing, so shut up", gyro ball is self explanitory, EQ for general coverage.

    for my six poke, i am not sure what to do any more. I know i need a rapid spinner, (unless aomeone else has a good arguement otherwise) but im not sure anymore. the ones rounded out are donphan, torkoal, and forretress.) suggestions? my current idea is claydol or starmie, but that would be a third poke that would have a boltbeam weakness....hitmontop sounded interesting but people shot down that theory

    Weavile is fine, togekiss I'm no expert on, but it looks fine...but I have a suugetion for Steelix. Use iron ball as the item and max out defense. That worked very well back when I had D/P, and I recommend it. I'm not big on low Accuracy and PP moves on a physical wall, I'd use stealth rock, roar, toxic, or giga impact (okay, that one was a joke). Rock Slide maybe...but I'd use SR. Just my take on steelix, but your team looks strong. I don't see how you will stop Gyarados, as after it powers up a bit steelix can't stop it...I'd put Tbolt on gengar, since I see gyarados as a bigger threat than swampert, w/e you want to do.
     
    to my knowledge, iron ball doesnt reduce your speed, it just makes sure you go last.

    and... sixth poke???


    on a side, and unrelated note: hey anti-pop. how was your banning?
     
    Gengar needs HP Ice to get a Bolt Beam, only with Choice Specs though.

    Otherwise use LensGar and get Hypnosis.

    Weaknesses to Mamoswine here.
     
    Its not common since its probably BL. But its a pain when it comes to Choice Scarf

    Yay for Uu/Bl.
