    Weavile @ Life Orb
    Jolly
    252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
    Ice Punch
    Ice Shard
    Night Slash
    Brick Break

    I used to have pursuit instead of ice shard, but a couple of choice scarf pokemon screwed me over so I switched. Gets rid of Jolly Garchomp, Timid Gengar, Azelf, and outspeeds dragon dance Tyranitar after one boost.

    Salamence @ Focus Sash
    Adamant
    252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
    Dragon Claw
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge
    Dragon Dance

    With 404 Attack, she's already a big threat, but with a dragon dance, she's nigh unstoppable. The main sweeper of the team, she has more freedom after Weavile removes most of her counters.

    Gyarados @ Leftovers
    Adamant
    252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
    Waterfall
    Earthquake
    Ice Fang
    Dragon Dance

    A single dragon dance lets Gyarados outspeed most everything that isn't wear a choice scarf, and some that are (which is what the extra speed EV's are for). Great for switching into choice scarf Heracross, who would otherwise give this team a real problem.

    Electivire @ Expert Belt
    Adamant
    252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
    Thunderpunch
    Ice Punch
    Earthquake
    Cross Chop

    Fast electric pokemon like Jolteon, seeking to kill Gyarados, just give a boost to Electivire, who knocks them out with an EQ. Formidable with or without the speed boost.

    Gengar @ Black Sludge
    Timid
    252 Special Attack, 252 Speed
    Shadow Ball
    Focus Blast
    Subsitute
    Hypnosis

    If the opponent is likely to switch out, throw up subsitute. If they're gonna stay in, use hypnosis (and then substitute). With black sludge, he stays in for a while, dealing damage all the while.

    Cresselia @ Leftovers (Lum berry if there is item clause)
    Impish
    252 HP, even between Spec. Defense and Defense
    Lunar Dance
    Moonlight
    Toxic
    Psycho Cut

    Two main uses-stall while waiting for toxic damage to accumulate, or use Lunar Dance to recover another pokemon. Lunar Dance works great with the rest of the team-heals a 1 HP Salamence, heals Gengar after quite a few substitutes, heals Electivire (who will usually survive a STAB'ed attack, especially special ones), etc... Works really well against Blissey, who expects Charge Beam/Ice Beam.
