    Drapion @ Black Sludge
    Impish
    Battle Armor
    252 HP, 6 ATT, 252 DEF
    Crunch
    Toxic Spikes
    Knock Off
    WhirlWind


    Flygon @ Lefties
    Hasty
    252 HP/252 ATT/ 6 SDEF
    Earthquake
    Roost
    Fire Blast
    Dragon Claw

    Yanmega @ Life Orb
    Modest
    Speed Boost
    56 HP/252 SATT/200Spd
    Hypnosis
    Protect
    Bug Buzz
    Air Slash

    Pinsir @ Expert Belt
    Adamant
    6 HP/252 ATT/252 SPD
    Moldbreaker
    X-Scissor
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge
    Swords Dance

    Forretress @ Shed Shell
    Relaxed Nature
    252 HP / 16 ATT / 240 DEF
    Gyro Ball
    Explosion
    Spikes
    Rapid Spin

    Ledian @ Leftovers
    252 HP / 252 SP.DEF / 6 SP.ATT
    Calm nature
    Light Screen
    Bug Buzz
    U turn
    Roost

    Notes: IMO, Only 3 non-Bug Types should ever be allowed on Bug teams due to their Egg Grouping: Drapion, Flygon, and Gliscor.
    Flygon Resists SR and Fire Attacks, both of which would Pulverize my team, while Drapion is in there because, like Flygon, It doesn't share any of the Bug Type's weaknesses. I could've used Gliscor, but decided not to in the end.

    My only pet peeve is that I have 2 Bug/Flying types(making me have 2 Pokemon 4x weak to SR), But Ledia in one of the only Bug Types with Good Special Defense, besides Wormadam Leaf Cloak, but why would I use that? 2 4x Weaknesses is NOT cool.

    Night slash is best used with sniper. crunch is more reliable. Good set otherwise

    Flygon @ Lefties
    Jolly

    Earthquake

    U-Turn

    Woo a set i created is actually getting used :D seeing as i made it i hae no complaints lol

    Yanmega @ Life Orb
    Modest
    Speed Boost
    56 HP/252 SATT/200Spd
    Hypnosis
    Protect
    Bug Buzz/HP fire
    Air Slash/HP fire
    Protect+Speed boost=Outspeeds most stuff, so you can afford to bulk it up slightly. Especially when you're using a move with such bad accuracy

    Pinsir @ Expert Belt
    Adamant
    6 HP/252 ATT/252 SPD
    Moldbreaker
    X-Scissor

    I personally prefer hera, but this looks ok.

    Forretress @ Lefties
    Relaxed Nature
    252 HP / 16 ATT / 240 DEF
    Gyro Ball
    Explosion
    Spikes
    Rapid Spin
    Special defence EVs arent going to be much help, you dont wanna be staying in on any special attacks anyway. Forry NEEDS lefties, and magnezone isnt that common anymore.
    Ledian @ Leftovers
    252 HP / 252 SP.DEF / 6 SP.ATT
    Calm nature
    Light Screen
    Bug Buzz
    Knock Off/U turn
    Roost
    Looks ok, vespiqueen would be a better option IMO but whatever. If walls have a recovery move they should really be using them. You already have a poke with knock off, you dont really need a second

    This is definately better than the team it started as. Unfortunately 4x rock weakneeses are unavoidable on bug teams, so its important that forry stays alive to get rid of SR. I can see this team having skarmory problems, seeing as brave bird kills off bugs like nobody's business, so HP fire from yanmega will sting it. But the Specsmence weak isnt to prevelant anymore, so its looking up :)

    It's really hard getting ahold of a Mitsuhoney with both Good stats/Nature AND be Female... so I'll stick with Ledian

    Would putting Fire Blast on Flygon anywhere help with Skarm(Thoug I can't see any move it can work without...).

    If not, Then I'll keep breeding >.<;

    Which is more important on Yanmega, Air Slash or Bug Buzz?

    Both, if you dont run both, its becomes a "Yanfail"


    Aire Slash/Bug Buzz/Protect/Hypnosis or Insert Hidden power Ice/Ground in last slot.
     
    Normally I'd agree with DA, but a non-standard team calls for a non-standard set. Yanmega is your best hope at countering skarm, I'd fit HP fre in, keeping BB for STAB
