    Well, here's my newly made NB team. I'm sure there are a few things I can improve, but I think I have all the bases covered

    Dusclops@Leftovers
    EV: 252 HP, 129 Def, 129 Sp Def
    Nature: + Sp Def, - Sp Att
    Confuse Ray
    Will-O-Wisp
    Mean Look
    Seismic Toss

    My good old Trapclops hasn't failed me yet.

    Lapras@Leftovers
    EV: 252 Sp Att, 252 Sp Def, 6 HP
    Nature: + Sp Att, - Speed
    Ice Beam
    Thunderbolt
    Surf
    Roar

    Thanks to Kairi's suggestion, I decided to go with Roar for Lapras, and it works well I've found as a pseudohazer.

    Dunsparce@Lum Berry
    EV: 252 HP, 252 Att, 6 Sp Def
    Nature: + Att, - Sp Att
    Glare
    Headbutt
    Rock Slide
    Counter

    Simple plan here - abuse Serene Grace with the flinch hax.

    Miltank@Leftovers
    EV: 252 HP, 129 Def, 129 Sp Def
    Nature: + Def, - Sp Att
    Heal Bell
    Milk Drink
    Toxic
    Seismic Toss

    It's a standard moveset, but it works.

    Dugtrio@Choice Band
    EV: 252 Speed, 252 Att, 6 HP
    Nature: + Speed, - Sp Att
    Aerial Ace
    Sludge Bomb
    Rock Slide
    Earthquake

    Yet another standard.

    Persian@Liechi Berry
    EV: 252 Speed, 252 Att, 6 Sp Def
    Nature: + Speed, - Sp Att
    Fake Out
    Return
    Shadow Ball
    Hypnosis

    After reading the Battledex entry, I thought I'd give Persian a go, and he's surprised a lot of people with his speed (especially those poor Focus Punching Gengar who think they're faster). Persian owns, as long as he doesn't get hit. I did have Charm over Fake Out, but after a few incidents with Reversal absuing Heracross I decided I needed a Quick Attack of sorts. Fake Out does the job nicely.
     
    I like having rest on dusclops, and I would put more EVs in Lapras's HP and remove from its spD. See it this way: Shuckle sucks.

    Besides, lower spD + higher HP = more Water absorb :)
     
    There was not a shuckle in there..unless it is something far beyond my understanding....The team is good execpt for the Dunsparce...it has to go...
    Instead.

    Raichu&Magnet
    Thunderbolt
    Thunder
    Agility
    Shock Wave

    ....The raichu boasts elecrtic power..
     
    lol... Roaring Lapras is INSANELY annoying x_x; I'll rather have chesto rest for Lapras, or just no rest at all. Lapras can tank, but not enough to tank for 2 turns of do-nothing. Dusclops is more suitable of a Pokemon to stand still for 2 rounds.

    I used almost the exact same Lapras before I replaced it with Clefable =3 And believe me, Go MAX hp Blissey theory. 252 Sp.atk, 252 hp, and you'll still survive tbolt this way (unless it's Raikou >> and you get the point).

    For Dunsprace, I'll rather get leftovers for the item instead of lum berry. Really, that's what the Miltank is for...
     
    Let's see, I can always drop Mean Look for Rest on Dusclops, gives him that much-needed survivability. As for Lapras, if I remove Roar, I'll need to add a hazing/pseudohazing move somewhere and I can't seem to fit it among the rest of the team without losing something important.

    Yeah, I see what you mean about Lefties on Dunsparce, despite the large HP, he can only Counter once before becoming totally reliant on the flinch hax. I was considering replacing Dunsparce with Quaggy though (Yawn/Focus Punch/Substitute/Earthquake), I may do that to see how it works - it will definately reduce the Fighting weakness my team seems to have (with 4 members weak to a fighting move, only Dusclops grants any real Fighting protection.)
