    Ok, since the old thread gave me good suggestions and the team needed a change anyway, I've had a complete rethink of my team, and it's ended up looking like this:

    Venusaur @ Choice Scarf
    Trait: Overgrow
    EV: 50 HP / 216 SpAtt / 244 Speed
    Nature: Modest
    Sleep Powder
    Leaf Storm
    Sludge Bomb
    HP Water

    I got lucky eventually with the HP. I have enough speed to outspeed Weavile with 244 Speed, rather than maxing it.

    Mantine @ Leftovers
    Trait: Water Absorb
    EV: 252 HP / 68 SpAtt / 188 SpDef
    Nature: Calm
    Surf
    Ice Beam
    Aqua Ring
    Mirror Coat

    Special wall. Mirror Coat can deal with most un-STABbed Thunderbolts, people often forget about Mantine's 140 base SpDef. Shame he doesn't have access to any better healing moves. But then, that's where this guy comes in:

    Umbreon @ Leftovers
    Trait: Synchronise
    EV: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 SpDef
    Nature: Bold
    Wish
    Taunt
    Curse
    Baton Pass

    Taunt stops phazers who think they can be funny.

    Muk @ Black Sludge
    Trait: Sticky Hold
    EV: 252 HP / 68 Att / 188 SpDef
    Nature: Quiet
    Substitute
    Focus Punch
    Shadow Sneak
    Fire Blast

    First-strike moves are always good for picking on Focus Sashers and the like, as well, as giving Muk a surprise to play with.

    Forretress @ Leftovers
    Trait: Sturdy
    EV: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpDef
    Nature: Relaxed
    Gyro Ball
    Rapid Spin
    Spikes/Stealth Rock
    Light Screen

    Rather than blowing up my spiker/spinner/wall, let's give it Light Screen for team support/lasting power.

    Salamence @ Choice Specs
    Trait: Intimidate
    EV: 252 SpAtt / 252 Speed / 6 HP
    Nature: Timid
    Draco Meteor
    Dragon Pulse
    Flamethrower
    Hydro Pump

    Yeah, this guy again.

    Ok, so I'm still lacking a dedicated physical sweeper. Umbreon can be the one to replace if it's really needed, he's mainly in for Wish support for Mantine cos it lacks a real healing move of its own (Aqua Ring doesn't count, but it does give him lasting power especially if I get Light Screen up).

    Any fixes much appreciated
     
    MAX defense on umbreon...it pretty much needs it. Otherwise, it gets murdered by any pokemon with a physical fighting attack...like staraptor.
     
    So you mean I should go 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpDef with Bold nature? That's a bit hefty considering I'm Cursing anyway. But then again, things seem to hit a lot harder nowadays, so yeah.

    you can probably put a bit more in SDef considering you have curse...but yeah, it needs a lot of defense.
