    Rapidash
    Adament Nature
    EVs: 252 Atk, 152 Spd, 104 HP
    -Flare Blitz
    -Double Edge
    -Megahorn
    -Agility

    Went with Agility so I could use some EVs in HP instead of Speed

    Garchomp
    Jolly Nature
    EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
    -Earthquake
    -Dragon Claw
    -Fire Fang
    -Crunch

    Torterra
    Impish Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 142 Atk, 114 Def
    -Wood Hammer
    -Earthquake
    -Substitute
    -Leech Seed

    Not as good a Subseeder as Sceptile, but with his HP the subs don't break due to Seismic Toss

    Magnezone
    Modest Nature
    EVs: 252 Sp Atk, 252 Spd, 4 Atk
    -Thunderbolt
    -Thunder wave
    -Flash Cannon
    -Explosion

    Trying something different here, two STABs, paralysis, explode when near death

    Vespiquen
    Careful Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp Def, 4 Atk
    -Defend Order
    -Heal Order
    -Attack Order
    -Toxic

    Unlikely Special Wall, can't take Super Effective hits, but does nicely with Pressure

    Magmortar
    Mild Nature
    EVs: 252 Spd, 200 Sp Atk, 56 Atk
    -Cross Chop
    -Flamethrower
    -Thunderbolt
    -Psychic

    Somewhat Special Sweeper, Cross Chop for Blissey, everything else covers most types

    Suggestions and comments are most welcome.

    Rapidash doesn't have the HP, OR the Defenses to even make a Bulky sweeper out of it. I'll admit, it is a good concept though.

    Garchomp
    Jolly Nature
    EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
    -Earthquake
    -Dragon Claw
    -Fire Fang
    -Stone Edge

    Torterra
    Impish Nature
    EVs: 212 HP / 176 Def / 120 SDef
    -Seed Bomb
    -Earthquake
    -Substitute
    -Leech Seed

    Torterra needs 404 HP or MORE to get unbreakable S-Toss Subs, and it only gets 394, so it's still susceptible to Blissey. Also, Wood Hammer only begs for more trouble when you suffer so much recoil damage if you try to attack Bliss.

    Magnezone
    Modest Nature
    EVs: 168 HP / 120 Def / 220 SAtk
    -Thunderbolt
    -Thunder wave
    -Flash Cannon
    -Hidden Power (Grass) / Substitute

    Even if Magnezone has a Quiet Nature, he wouldn't have the Attack to actually Explode and KO something with. Also, you don't need Speed EVs if you're running Thunder Wave.

    Vespiquen
    Careful Nature

    -Defend Order
    -Heal Order

    This thing's typing is too horrible to actually make a wall.

    Magmortar
    Mild Nature
    EVs: 252 Spd, 200 Sp Atk, 56 Atk
    -Cross Chop
    -Flamethrower

    Uh sure

    Just about ANY Dragon Dancer can come in and set up against you. Also not to mention that big glaring Electivire weakness in your team.
     
    Thanks for your advice Iceman, and I was thinking about changing someone with an Arena Trapping Dugtrio, would he be a suitable counter to the afformentioned Electivire?
     
    Dugtrio could work is a variety of situations. But in the event that Electivire actually switches into a Thunderbolt, you'd probably want to add a Good Choice Scarf Attacker to outspeed it, so probably running Garchomp with Adamant Nature and Choice Scarf should help a little better.
     
    No Cross Chop on Magmortar, just switch in for Garchomp, Torterra, Rapidash or any other physical sweeper.

    YOU HAVE A HUGE WEAKNESS TO MAMOSWINE!!! IT WILL SWEEP THROUGH YOUR TEAM LiKE !!

    You need a good bulky water. Swampert over Rapidash.

    So you have 2 fire types and 2 ground types. not the definition of a good team. water types are needed real bad.

    Swampert@Leftovers/Enigma Berry
    Trait: Torrent
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 ATK/252 HP/ 4 DEF

    Curse/Rest
    EQ
    Waterfall
    Avalanche
     
    Actually both my ground types resist water attacks...

    and just because I use somewhat similar types in my team doesn't make it bad. it's hard to make a good team with double element pokemon and not have at least one overlapping type
