    I got bored, so I decided to make a mono-poison team. Also trying a few different ideas.

    Crobat@Choice Band
    Nature: Adamant
    EV: 212 Speed/252 Att/46 HP
    Aerial Ace
    Sludge Bomb
    Steel Wing
    Hyper Beam.

    Don't laugh at Hyper Beam, Crobat has more than enough speed to pull it off at low health.

    Weezing@Leftovers
    Nature: Bold
    EV: 252 HP/200 Def/58 Sp Att
    Haze
    Pain Split
    Thunderbolt
    Flamethrower

    Hi Steel types.

    Tentacruel@Leftovers
    Nature: Adamant
    EV: 144 HP/180 Att/84 Def/92 Sp Def
    Swords Dance
    Sludge Bomb
    HP Ghost
    Rapid Spin

    Spinner.

    Gengar@Leftovers
    Nature: Modest
    EV: 252 Sp Att/252 Speed/6 HP
    Giga Drain
    Ice Punch
    Thunderbolt
    Destiny Bond

    Classic sweeper.

    Venusaur@Leftovers
    Nature: Careful
    EV: 180 HP/200 Att/60 Def/60 Sp Def
    Sludge Bomb
    Earthquake
    Sleep Powder
    Leech Seed

    Physical sleep-seed.

    Nidoking@Choice Band
    EV: 108 HP/252 Att/54 Def/96 Sp Def
    Nature: Adamant
    Sludge Bomb
    Megahorn
    Earthquake
    Rock Slide

    Fun stuff. No speed cos he's not that fast anyway.
     
    Crobat Needs more Shadow Ball. Your Venusaur is sexy btw.

    In My opinion, you don't really need Rapid Spin with 3 Ground resisting pokes on deck.
     
    True, you don't need rapid spin. Try Victreebel instead of Tentacruel.

    Victreebel@Salac Berry
    Jolly: 252 Spd, 252 Att, 6 HP
    Swords Dance
    Sludge Bomb
    HP Ghost
    Return

    Same stuff, basically, only no Rapid Spinn.

    Btw, I find your Weezing interesting...Didn't really see one of those without Will-o-wisp and with pain split. Use Fire Blast instead of FT.
    Very nice overall team. And indeed, Venusaur is kewl :P

    Oh, yeah, and Shadow Ball and Return/HP Ground (or if you pull it off, keep Hyper Beam) on crobat, lose Metal Claw, as he isn't gonna take down any Rock type anyway, just switch when you see one.
     
    Tentacruel and Venusaur are already doing Victreebel's job :(. Tenta will be fine as long as the move Rapid Spin changes. I think you should make it a special sweeper since most of the team is physical anyway:

    Tentacruel (M) @ Petaya Berry
    Trait: Clear Body
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
    Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
    - Hidden Power [Grass]
    - Hydro Pump / Surf
    - Ice Beam
    - Substitute
     
    200 Attack on Venusaur is overkill. You'll want a more Defensive set
     
    I sort of agree. Give Venasaur a Impish Nature maybe and put 80 in Defense.
     
    I'd rather make use of Venusaur's higher Sp Def and I have Weezing for Def tanking.

    I take your point about Crobat, I'll use Shadow Ball over Steel Wing, and HP Flying for Aerial Ace. I like the fun factor of HB though.

    I'll give special Tentacruel a whirl as well, might be fun to play with.

    Click to expand...

    Impish will suck most of the time depending on the amount of Defence EVs you give it. +Sp. Attack or +Sp. Defence are usually better due to a higher base stat
