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
