Sure.

Generally looks fine. However skarmbliss is severly outdated and is no longer a viable pairing, mostly due to mixape's popularity. I'd switch donphan for starmie or tentaruel- Both are excellent mixape counters and allow you to retain spin support. I'd also recommend picking a new wall over skarmory.

 

[sims796]

Gliscor & Weezing, they are good walls. Not that Skarmory is bad, but ii's easy to take care of with Blissey as it's partner.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Red Rain, do NOT double post, under any circumstances. Ever. Wait patiently, people will help you eventually.

 

[Red Rain]

I have decided to replace Donphan with Weezing, and instead of Skarm, If I was to pick Gliscor, that could provide me with SR support. However, I'd then be left with no normal Spiker. Do you think my team would be ok without the spiker?

Dark_Azelf, I will not do that again, just it was a long time I'd waited. I do understand fully now.

Gliscor isnt a great option, it gives you a second 4x ice weak. Forretress can give you a resist as well as a spinner/spiker.

 

[Red Rain]

Hmm again, Forry is a nice option, yet they are far too common, and it's like I want my team to be just a bit more different, although saying that, Gliscor is also very common. I'll have to think on that one. Maybe something BL that can be resistant to ice and lay down Stealth Rock or Spikes?

 

[El Gofre]

Since you have weezing for full walling, BL ice-resisting high def tanks comes under the names of registeel, slowbro, and miltank (with thick fat)

 

[Anti]

However skarmbliss is severly outdated and is no longer a viable pairing, mostly due to mixape's popularity.

It's actually because they're metagame weak in general :P MixApe is maybe 5% of it, at best. and CBmence doesn't really need SAtk since it still 2HKOs Skarm and OHKOs forry.

This team actually has a fair bit of trouble switching in on Skarmory. Alakazam isn't exactly bulky, and Missy doesn't like Brave Birds either. You're okay against it, but it can eventually wear out your special sweepers enough to really wall your team.

Honestly I'd try and find a fighting resist (one that's more reliable than the shaky Mismagius). In all honesty Donphan is kind of outdated, and Hipppowdon is a better wall. If you're paranoid of SR and Spikes (or SS damage), go ahead and keep it. You could use the walling though.

 

[Red Rain]

I really am stumped on what to go for. Skarm's slot needs taking, so any concrete ideas on what you lot might go for?

 

[Syaoran]

Mismagius isn't a good lead. TTar and Weavile will easily kill it. You may be able to burn TTar, but the 2nd Pursuit will kill you regardless. Salamence is a much better lead.

A combination of Infernape + Weavile can tear your team apart, so beware of that. Weavile will kill Zam and Mismagius while Infernape with HP ice takes care of the rest. I think Gengar does a much better job than Mismagius if you're gonna use this kind of set. The only thing that Mismagius does better than gengar is Sub + Calm Mind, or Perish Trap.

Gengar is especially better at being dead weight...

I actually agree with Sya though despite my obvious Gengar hate. Gar runs the status set better. I honestly wouldn't use either one since your team has other issues.

I honestly think Skarm isn't the thing you should be worrying about replacing right now (though I'm not exactly against the idea of it leaving, I just think Missy is a lot less important than an Outrage resist and a stable normal resist).

 

[Red Rain]

Thanks for all your advice. Got a lot of thinking to do, I'll change the first post, showing the Tentacruel, which I replaced with Donphan. Really hard to decide on what to replace Skarm with. Registeel, Regirock, Cloyster maybe even Torkoal with his SR and EQ?

Torkoal is terrible, unless you want to counter Scyther. Torkoal is also weak to Stealth Rock himself, so each time you come in and try to spin away those rocks you lose a chunk of health (It can use Rapid Spin. >=[ ) Registeel could do well with balanced defenses that are gigantic as well as balanced offenses.

 

[Red Rain]

Maybe I'll go for a Registeel, oh no, I really don't know. XD

First post updated with Tentacruel replacing Donphan.

EDIT: Changed Skarmory to Registeel. How is my team now and the moves I have gave that and Tenta?

 

[Gengar Master]

At a glance, Gyarados could be a serious problem. I normally would never suggest this, but you could consider Starmie over Tentacruel to cover that problem. It also helps with some spinning as well.
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Moveset EVs :160 HP / 132 SpA / 216 Spe
~ Ice Beam / Thunderbolt
~ Rapid Spin
~ Recover
~ Surf

Tentacruel already does the same job as Starmie, aka, counters Mixape and spins.

Unless you meant Gyarados, who by chance is a problem to this team, either put Thunder on Registeel or use Starmie >> Tenta.

Bah, sorry about that your right. I meant Dos. I edited it.

 

[Red Rain]

Hmm, Thunder might have to go over Toxic, although I didn't want it to. Nevermind, I agree with your advice, although Mismagius does have Thunderbolt, and is put as the lead, in order to counter many of the teams with Gyarados at the helm, so I might go against changing Toxic for TB. Thanks for your advice, it's very much appreciated.

As great as Gyarados is as a lead, it CAN switch and come back later, and if it gets in a DD on the switch, you'll be in major pain.

Thunder on Registeel easily stops this and so does starmie....as previosly stated.
