    I really dont like a scarf on ape, it just makes it loose its sweeping ability.


    Bear in mind Taunt Tyranitar owns you, your only hope it to revenge kill with infernape, and thats not the best thing really. The same with Gyarados, whom you cannot ohko with T-Punch without a Life Orb or Expert belt


    Also 252 /128 / 128 spreads are generally bad and you want to stay away from those.

    Blissey 252 SP.ATT / 252 DEF / 6 HP

    Cresselia : 252 HP / 108 DEF / 148 SP.DEF, Put Charge Beam on it to deal with Gyarados >> Calm mind.


    Bronzong wants Gyro Ball and EQ to at least dent Tyranitar and lucario,who cause you immense problems btw. >> light Screen and Grass Knot. same spread as the Cress i suggested works.

    Shed Shell on Skarm or Magnezone and Weavile/Dugtrio really hurt you and remove your walling.

    As for Blissey, i really would like S-Toss/Aromatherapy/Thunderwave/Softboiled 40 HP / 252 DEF / 216 SP.DEF@Calm. Then you could put the more reliable Rest on Cresselia, Moonlight is bad tbh, there are so much SS teams its not even funny, Hippow and T-Tar are common their own anyways, which ruin Moonlight. Also you can then at least paralyze threats such as porygon-z and other sweepers to stop them raping the rest of your team.


    Your team is kinda walled by Physical wall and special wall combos.So make Ape Swords Dance Imo. It will help you at least beat stuff and sweep late game. Then you can make mence your lead.

    Electivire is going to cause problems. At least I like how this team is a hell for ground types. You might need a Spinner to protect Salamence. Bronzong is never without Earthquake and rarely without Gyro Ball. Most Pokemon with Taunt can really wall this team, especially if you do consider Infernape's Swords Dance. Bleh, Specstile works better for me than SpecsMence, it has a better speed with barely a difference in Special Attack.
