Well that infact the name of this team, well the move its based around anyways.
This has taken me rather along time to come up with, not only just to "Shove standard together" (Which may be what it looks like lol) but to actually cover weaknesses and threats whilst still keeping it as a balanced set up.
Also alot of though has gone into this, as im one of those people who if i see a slight problem i have to scrap the whole thing lol, so its taken alot of building and re-building. This is what ive come up with so far.
Overview of my team : -

Heatran@Choice Scarf
Modest Nature
252 SP.ATT / 236 SPEED / 20 HP
- Fire Blast
- hidden power Ice
- Explosion
- Earth Power
Standard, i was thinking Taunt/Earthpower/Fire Blast/Explosion originally, but i wanted something fast and this is exactly that, it also smashes stuff and has many resistances. A pretty nice lead and one of my fav pokemon. Its so fun to switch in on an outraging Garchomp aswell lol. Covers Celebi's MANY weaknesses well to an extent aswell. With a scarf he is faster than base 120s such as (and most notably) Dugtrio, which i can OHKO with Fire Blast.
*Wreck your mom*, The Heracross.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heracross@Choice Band
252 ATT / 152 SPEED SPEED / 104 HP
Adamant Nature
- Megahorn
- Close Combat
- Night Slash
- Stone Edge
Now when most people say this is a good sweeper, they arnt wrong, however i hate using semi slow sweepers, id much rather Scarf it, but W/E, this smashes through walls that are not named Gliscor and Weezing. Also helps with my DD Tyranitar w/ ice Beam, and especially Boah problem. Breaks Cresselia, Dusknoir and Celebi, considering i get walled by most of the aforementioned. As if 574 Attack wasn't enough, Heracross can gain a further boost by switching into a status move. With Choice Band and Guts activated, Heracross will essentially be operating with over a "free" Swords Dance every time he unleashes his attacks. It is essentially going to unleash a world of a pain on my opponents.
*Roll Over n Die 2 pursuit*, The Celebi

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Celebi@leftovers
252 HP / 216 DEF / 36 SPEED / 8 SP.DEF
Bold Nature
- Heal Bell
- Perish Song
- Grass Knot
- Recover
I wanted something to deal with Bulky waters, and this is what this does, it beat up Gyarados, Swampert, Suicune hence why i have Perish Song, if Swampert or Suicune try and Curse or Calm mind up respectively, they have to switch out within 3 turns or die, thus canceling out stat changes =) Grass Knot does alot to Gyarados aswell, a 120 Base Power move on it i believe plus STAB = Pwned , even if it has Ice Fang it still usually looses XD. Its also my cleric and lol's at anything Breloom throws at me. The nickname up there is the only reason i hate using it.
*Catching flies ?*, The Gyarados

Gyarados@leftovers
212 HP / 16 ATT / 180 DEF / 100 SPEED
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Earthquake / Stone Edge
- Taunt
- Dragon Dance
Wow, what doesnt this do, ive re found my love of this, its here to beat up infernape, Weavile, Garchomp and most importantly to come in and Intimidate Heracross and survive anything the bug throws at him, if i switch it into a stone edge i dont care, just because i have wish support which keeps him alive longer and he can come back later on something thats not a threat and take the wish and heal up. Its also my late game sweeper and a beast even more so with Wish support.
*Log Roll* The Donphan
"image removed"//
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donphan@leftovers
252 HP / 252 DEF / 6 ATT
Impish nature
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
This is my utility and physical wall, it beats up t-tar pretty badly too aswell as setting up SR , PHazing, and Spinning. I was gonna have Ice Shard, but i figured Celebi's Perish Song was not going to beat Ninjask, due to X-Scissor, and i have Ice Moves else where so i figured PHazing was more important. Now the main spin blockers are Spiritomb, Dusknoir and Gengar, 2 of which cant touch Heatran and Heracross, infact actually helping them with Will-o-wisp, which makes them even more deadly(unless Dusknoir has the very rare EQ and/or Fire Punch or Spiritomb has Hidden power Ground or Fighting, which means the latter still cant touch heracross, so i win either way lol). Gengar is still a problem which is why i have this next pokemon.
*UU FTW !!*, The Blissey

Blissey@leftovers
252 DEF / 212 SP.DEF / 40 SP.Att
Calm nature
Trait : Natural Cure
- Wish
- protect
- ice Beam
- Seismic Toss
This is the heart of my team and provides wish support for gyarados and Donphan aswell of the rest of my team should they need it, Protect makes me really laugh, as its not only there to activate Wish for itself, but to scout idiots who think the way how to beat blissey is Explosion *Looks at Azelf* =) along with other unexpected moves. Protect is also great along with wish which is vital as this can stall aswell, such as Gengar out of Focus Blast or Heatran out of fire blast and mainly why it heavily evd in sp.def and has a calm nature. I thought Toxic >> ice Beam, but i have problems with Dragons, so yeah.
Threat List : -
Tyranitar: Donpahan takes most versions, if it has Ice Beam or is a boah, Heracross takes it.
Gyarados: Celebi and Grass Knot would probably be my best counter. EQ , SE and Watefall do ass, which leaves the base 65 Ice Fang, and it still looses even if it has that lol.
Infernape: Gyarados takes most of them, and Donphan takes physical versions, if it tries to be smart and Nasty Plot on the turn i switch Gyarados in, which will make Grass Knot beastly i wall go to heatran to take it.
Azelf: Hi my name is Heatran and i wall you unless you have Hidden power Fighting =). Blissey also scouts for explosions, hence protect and take hits easily due to the heavy evs in sp.def
Rhyperior: Celebi, although it doesnt like Megahorns, Donphan would be its best counter.
Electivire: Oh noes, well the standard it walled by Donphan, Mixvire is not a problem really seeing as i dont infact have an electric move on this team lol XD, so it can be revenge killed by Heatran.
Heracross: Gyarados walls CB unless it switches into Stone Edge, which wont OHKO and in which case i go to donphan or revenge kill with Heatran, Scarf Cross is lol and gest walled by Gyarados and Donphan again
Salamence: Well this will cause problems, Blissey takes special versions, and physical versions one on one due to ice Beam, Physical versions are a pain, although i could put Ice Shard on Gyarados but thats its only real use for this team.
Togekiss: Blissey, although i will have to be careful of certain sets.
Gengar: Blissey outstalls focus blast with Wish and protect, scouts for explosion and focus punch.
Garchomp: Gyarados, Donphan take physcail versions, Heatran switches into CS/CB Outrages and Hits back with Hidden power Ice =)
Raikou: Blissey
Lucario: Blissey take special, Gyarados Intimidates physical and can threaten to EQ it along with a combination of Donphan,
Tauros: Donphan
Starmie: Blissey
Weavile:Gyarados
Dugtrio: How can you counter this idiot if you cant switch out ? Everything on my team is packing a SE hit anyways and the only things that arnt is like Donphan, lol good luck surviving and EQ Duggy, Only thing that REALLY fears it iS Hera .
Alakazam: Blissey, if it doesnt trick, Heatran can revenge kill.
PorygonZ: Blissey, and especially seeing as its such heavily defensivly ev'd.
Medicham: Donphan takes it most times, and Gyarados can intimidate it..Celebi resists everything bar Ice Punch.
Staraptor: Donphan, Gyarados.
Slowbro: Heracross rapes it, although cannot switch in on psychic, Gyarados takes it without HP Electric. Blissey outstalls it with Wish and Protect and Celebi thwarts and Calm Minds with Perish Song and threatens to Grass Knot it.
Machamp:Gyarados, Celebi,
Jolteon: Celebi Perish Songs Baton Pass attempts and Blissey takes it anyways.
Aerodactyl: Donphan
Snorlax: Celebi and Donphan PHaze Curses and Hera rapes it.
Zapdos: I would switch in Celebi to PHae it and rack up SR damage on it, hera takes it all day thanks to base 95 sp.def, bar Drill Peck which is really rare.
Blissey: heracross and Heatrans explosion say hi =)
Suicune:Celebi rapes this, PHazing any calm minds and Grass Knotting it.
Sceptile: Blissey takes special, heatran takes physcal, aslong as there is no brick break, Gyarados can aslong as it doesnt have the rare T-Punch.
Breloom: Use something as Sleep fodder and let celebi go to work, it cant do squat to Celebi, Grass Knot JUST breaks its subs and it can be PHazed with Perish Song. Heatran beats it one on one.
Slaking: Donphan and Bliss takes the joke special versions.
Tangrowth: Heatran,Heracross.
Ninjask:SR and Roar on Donphan >>> Nubjask.
Metagross: Donphan.
Heatran: Bliss scouts for explosion and can outstall Fire Blast with Wish and Protect, Gyarados takes it, bar Explosion, HP Electric and C Specs Flash Fire Boosted Fire Blasts.
Celebi: Heatran.
Jirachi: Heatran.
