My first Wifi team

[Valarauca]

Azelf @ focus sash
naive
Ev: 4 att, 252 spA, 252 spe
~ fire blast
~ Stealth Rock
~ Psychic
~ explosion
Love this lead, rock and boom, normally ko's or severely damages the leader. Letting me bring in something else like...

Gyarados @ leftovers
adamant
Ev: 4 hp, 252 spe, 252 att
~ dragon dance
~ earthquake
~ waterfall
~ ice fang
Normally comes in after Azelf, Which lets me get in a dragon dance since after Azelf's explosion ko's both leads, the opponents switch is blind so, Gyarados normally can get in a dragon dance as they switch to a counter.

Vaporeon @ leftovers
bold
Ev: 188 hp, 252 def, 58 spA
~ wish
~ ice beam
~ surf
~ protect
My stalling force. Vaporeon is well vaporeon and i like vaporeon so i run Vaporeon.

Electivire @ life orb
mild
Ev: 76 att, 252 spA, 180 spe
~ hp ice
~ flamethrower
~ thunderbolt
~ crosschop
Mixed attacker, takes the thunder attacks that vaporeon and gyarados pull and are so easy to protect.

Metagross @ choice band
adamant
Ev: 252 hp, 244 att, 12 def
~ meteor mash
~ bullet punch
~ explosion
~ ice punch
Gives me more bulk, and more raw power. I can't hype of Metagross. I was gonna use heatran (spectran)

Blissey! @ leftovers
calm
Ev: 252 def, 40 hp, 216 spD
~ softboil
~ aromatherapy
~ Sesmic toss
~ ice beam
Special wall, duh, blissey come in as my cleric. Dependable, and strong, not much can be said to beef up what is know about blissey. Blissey may be replaced by milotic, to help feed more thunder into electivire, but right now i have a blissey.

With that EV spread, Blissey won't be doing much damage with Ice Beam outside of x4 weak Pokemon, and even then, not much. Replace it with Thunder Wave for increased team support, as well as hitting the common physical attackers that'll switch into Blissey. The only ones to really watch out for are Heracross and GUTS Machamp.

I think Tyranitar could rip through a good portion of this team. It resists every move on your lead (and immune to Psychic) and will use the time to Dragon Dance up, or in lesser cases, screw you over with Taunt. From there, Vire and Blissey are knocked out by any physical attack, Gyarados to STAB Stone Edge. Vaporeon will be able to trade hits back and forth with Tyranitar, but it's only 2hko by Starmie's Spec Hydro Pump, so it'll basically become a stall war. Metagross can come in for the revenge kill and won't care too much about stone edge and crunch, but could fear Earthquake users. Best case scenario is you lose one Pokemon and Metagross goes in for the revenge kill, which will then lead to the oppoenent bringing in their Steel resist.

But your team really isn't that bad. I think replacing Protect with Toxic on Vaporeon will basically "solve" your Tyranitar problem. You'll still lose your lead if it starts out too, but few if any steels are ever going to switch into Vaporeon, so it's a good time to poison the beast.

Also, consider Thunder Punch over Ice Punch on Metagross. That way Gyarados won't easily come in, set up, then sweep.

With regard to those, Guts does make them a brute force to be reckoned with, so play safe, but you should be able to switch in Gyarados, sponge the hit and fight back. After CC's defence drop, you can OHKO Heracross. But Machamp... It can sponge the hit and Stone Edge back. Hopefully you keep Azelf alive long enough to kill it.

Keep in mind that if they switch out, they loose their DDs. Either way, most DDTars carry Aqua Tail, nowerdays. It does create a mess without Metagross, though.

Yes. Outside of Pure Offensive, Burn/Toxic is a must on nearly any team. Wish without Protect can seriously shorten Vappy's life - It's bulky but it's no Physical Blissey.

Also, consider Thunder Punch over Ice Punch on Metagross. That way Gyarados won't easily come in, set up, then sweep.

Eh, Vappy can take Gyarados for the most part, just give it HP Electric. Preferably over Ice Beam. Yeah, run Thunderpunch. Ice Punch was for OHKOing Garchomp, as SR Damage, Meteor Mash will OHKO even DDMence. If EQ doesn't OHKO you....

Solid Team, though. Nice Job. I'm not too keen on Electivire, but it does work with Vappy and Gyara, so I'm cutting it some slack.

If really I have to say mine, don't I see a great utility for the Focus Sash in the Wi-fi, in comparison to the simulators in the Wi-Fi the 80% of the Lead are of the authentic Sweeper (for the more Scarfed) then the choices obviously go to you, then then because so so much defense to Blissey? At all it has to defend from the physical attackers.

Um, doesn't that give you more reason to use sash? That means you are guaranteed to get SR down, which is Azelf's main use.
