    I'm kinda new to competive battling and such, so bare with me if you will.

    Bronzong @ Leftovers
    Sassy and Levitate
    252 HP/ 128 ATK/ 128 SPD
    Gyro Ball
    Hypnosis
    Stealth Rock
    Earthquake

    I may lead with this.

    Tangrowth @ Leftovers
    Impish and Chlorophyll
    252 HP/ 228 DEF/ 28 SPE
    Power Whip
    Knock Off
    Leech Seed
    Sleep Powder

    My physical wall.

    Gliscor @ Leftovers
    Impish and Sand Veil
    252 HP/ 4 ATK/ 252 DEF
    Aerial Ace
    Ice Fang
    Knock Off
    Roost

    I decided to replace blissey with this to better deal with heracross. I went AA over earthquake to faint it faster.

    Umbreon @ Leftovers
    Bold/ Careful and Sychronize
    252 HP/ 252 DEF/ 6 SPD
    Mean Look
    Baton Pass
    Wish
    Moonlight/ Protect

    I think trap-passing is very usefull, which is why I realy like this eeveelution. For the fourth slot I don't know if I should do the protect-wish combo or use moonlight.

    Tentacruel @ Leftovers/ Shuca Berry
    Calm and Liquid Ooze
    204 HP/ 96 SPA/ 172 SPD/ 36 SPE
    Surf
    Ice Beam
    Rapid Spin
    Toxic Spikes

    Shuca Berry for earthquakes that are faster than surf/ ice beam. I have to be careful about toxic spikes however, seeing as it can help heracross a lot.

    Drapion @ Razor Claw
    Jolly/ Adament and Sniper
    40 HP/ 252 ATK/ 216 SPE
    Swords Dance
    Night Slash
    Brick Break
    Roar

    Apparently some people don't like razor claw so I may have to switch to life orb. Roar is useful since I don't have a PHazer.

    Ok, so thats basicly it. I will try to benefit from your critisism.

    You probably should have another damaging move on Tangrowth, since Power Whip has only 10 pp.
     
    Tangrowth is fine, don't put Block on it. If you really hate Blissey then Cresselia or Regice can replace her. Actually, I don't see a need for her at all. Between Tentacruel and Bronzong you've got special walling covered.

    Gliscor and Weezing are good Heracross counters.

    Try that

    Gyro ball;
    This move's base power is given by the formula 1 + floor(25 * Target's Speed / User's Speed), where floor means round down. This is capped at 150 power. This formula uses actual Speed, not base Speed.

    It can be annoying people.

    You can replace blissey for Dusknoir or Cress, thats what i would do, I really really really hate Blissey
    My set for dusknoir, some ppl dont like it though, dont know why, it doesnt matter how hard yout ry, keep that in mind...

    Dusknoir @ Leftovers
    Ev: 252def/252spD/6att
    Adamant Nature
    Pain Split
    Ice Punch
    Will-o-Wisp
    Trick Room/Shadow Sneak
     
    Thanks for the advice people! I edited the first post to the changes I made. I still would like some opinions on what moveset to give drapion, however. Once again, thanks for the advice.

    SD should stay on Drapion, and having a PHazer is not bad, so Roar is Nice.
    I don't care about your third move, someone else should recommend that, cuz I'm not entirely sure. You definitely need Ice Fnag in there though. Cover's Drapions only weakness pretty well.
     
    lol, the only ground type that isn't gonna be hammered by Night Slash is Steelix, and even Ice Fang won't help against him.

    I prefer the Choice Band version of Drapion, but then I'm always a fan of CB Pursuiting

    Drapion@Choice Band
    Jolly Nature
    EVs: 252 Atk, 216 Spd, 40 HP
    -Night Slash
    -Brick Break
    -Fire Fang
    -Pursuit/Cross Poison

    Is how I run Drapion, Cross Poison gets a mention due to it's high Crit ratio, which when combined with Sniper is rather annoying.

    But yeah standard stuff here, Night Slash for STAB, Brick Break for steels, Fire Fang for floaty steels (Skarm, Bronzong, Magnet Rise Magnezone) as well as Metagross/Jirachi.

    Apparently some people don't like razor claw so I may have to switch to leftovers. Don't know about the third slot, and fire fang provides coverage, while roar is usefull since I don't have a PHazer.

    It's not bad but you don't have very many damaging pokemon aside from your drapion.

    I'd suggest switching some pokes, you have like 3-4 walls in that team... You'll generally be running around stall-warring
     
    I see what you mean. Should I make gliscor more offensive or just replace someone all together? Also, should I have a priority move in there somewhere?
     
    I wouldnt suggest making gliscor offensive as you need a wall if bronzong is going to be your lead...it's fine as is.

    I feel you should take out tangrowth as that really doesn't do much for this team. Your team seems bulky enough as is and you dont have anybody that can really hit hard...someone whose got good special attack as well because alot of guys on your team hit physically. It's really up to you what you want because the kind of special attackers out there are pretty limitless....
     
    How would this work for a special sweeper?

    Porygon-Z @ Life Orb
    Modest and Adaptability
    252 SPA/ 252 SPE/ 6 HP
    Ice Beam
    Thunderbolt
    Nasty Plot
    Tri Attack

    Honestly Download is usually more useful. It may seem "unreliable," but it's generally easy to come in on something with higher defense than special defense.

    Porygon-fail isn't really a very good sweeper though, as it is fragile with no good resistances to help it out, and is fairly slow whether it's Timid or Modest.

    Yea if you end up using Porygon-Z though make sure you nickname it 'Failigon-Z' to remind everyone how much PHAIL anti says it is ;)

    You could also try Special or Mix- Infernape
     
    I was able to finally stop being lazy and went and caught this thing:

    Heatran @ Leftovers
    Modest and Flash Fire
    252 HP/ 96 DEF/ 100 SPA/ 60 SPD
    Rest
    Sleep Talk
    Lava Plume
    Earth Power

    I think it could help to absorb status since I don't have aromatherapy blissey anymore.
