    I can;t make a full review becasue I'm confused with the EV's. Can you tell us what they are, instead of posting numbers? Numbers make no sense.

    I'm not too keen on R/S/E so simply take my advice with a grain of salt.

    HP Flying is standard on Salamence, Dragon Claw is not, as it was a special move last gen. I like the notion of CBMence > DDMence, it should fit in quite well. With an extra moveslot free of Dragon Dance, you can run Fire Blast to burn Skarmory out of the sky.

    The team has good Skarmory coverage so I suggest SubSalac Heracross over the current one. It does a miraculous job at cleaning up late game with a Swords Dance under its belt.

    Toxic/EQ/IB/Rest Swampert should go over Metagross to counter the likes of Zapdos and opposing Swampert. And Gengar should have Ice Punch > Psychic and Explosion > Brick Break with Rash nature.
    That's about it, good luck.

    Good coverage

    Heracross @ Leftovers

    Brick Break
    Substitute
    Rock Slide
    Megahorn
    Consider placing earthquake to as opposed to substitute, because of the low hp the sub has and for type coverage, I try not to rely too much on rock slide,because of accuracy problems, I've had 4 slides miss in a row....
    Salamence @ Leftovers

    Rock Slide



    Metagross @ Leftovers

    Agility
    Earthquake
    Explosion

    Standard agiligross, good enough, although I'd place evs into speed, because of the switching, that only buys time for one agility, which can't outspeed most counters.

    Blissey @ Leftovers
    EVs: HP 252, Atk -0, Def +252, Spd 0, Sp. Atk 0, Sp. Def 0

    Aromatheraphy
    Seismic Toss
    Thunder Wave/Ice beam
    Soft Boiled
    Ice beam so Gengar doesn't wall you completely

    Gengar @ Leftovers
    EVs: HP 8, Atk -0, Def 0, Spd +251, Sp. Atk 251, Sp. Def 0

    Shadow Ball
    Psychic
    Thunderbolt
    Brick Break/ice punch
    Gengar has barely attack, and brick break wouldn't do it much favors. Having ice beam would do the special attack stat much better. As for shadow ball, you could keep it, because of stab.

    Um, @ the above poster, nothing is in bold. -_-

    BB is physical IIRC, so go HP Ice >> Brick Break on Gengar.

    Starmie's Special Sweeper set uses 40 HP|252SpA|216 Spe as the spread. Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Surf/Recover for the moveset.

    Ice Beam >> something on Blissey's set to hit Gengar.

    Thank u guys. =)
    There were some good tips I might think about.
    I see the problem that Bliss can't do anything only with Seismic Toss against Gengar but only IB wouldn't be that great either in my opinion. So should I forget Aromatheraphy and give her Ice Beam? Wha I just can't decide...

    Actually, it makes more sense to run Ice punch intead of Hp ice, like deathgold had typed but yes, BB on gar won't do much, even to blissey. Any ways, ice punch is special in 3rd gen, has more base power and has a freeze chance, also, it doesn't hurt Ivs. So go ice punch > Hp ice.

    Why are you using Psychic/Shadow Ball/Brick Break on Gengar? Either use McIceGar or use a standard set:

    Gengar @ Leftovers
    Timid
    252 SpA/252 Spe/6 HP
    Ice Punch
    Thunderbolt
    Will O Wisp/Hypnosis/Destiny Bond
    Will O Wisp/Hypnosis/Destiny Bond

    You could put Explosion and stuff there, but I'd rather you not.
