    Wow, this is a really nice team you have here. Good luck with your battles, because your team looks awesome. ;) 10/10
     
    Incredibly ice Fang Gyarados weak, your still infernape weak, no matter how many sp.def evs you give hippowdon, Grass Knot hits Hippowdon for Base 120 power and after a Nasty Plot with a Life Orb boost its not gonna live. Also once you set up Toxic spikes your Hippowdon gets 2hko'd by Heracross.

    All your members dont have to be resistant to sandstorm either.


    Use

    Gliscor@Leftovers
    252 HP / 252 DEF / 6 HP
    Impish nature
    - Ice Fang / Aerial Ace / Stone Edge
    - Earthquake
    - Roost
    - Stealth Rock / Knock Off / Taunt

    >> Hippowdon if your gonna be using toxic spikes.


    Tentacruel >> Omastar to beat mixape, it also spins for you, something you lack.

    Tentacruel@Leftovers
    204 HP / 74 DEF / 60 SP.ATT / 172 SP.DEF
    Calm nature
    - Toxic Spikes
    - Rapid Spin
    - Hydro pump / Surf
    - ice Beam / Hidden power Electric


    Needs More cradilly or specs mence and starmie say hi

    Cradilly@Leftovers
    252 HP / 164 Def / 92 Sp.D
    Sassy Nature
    - Energy Ball / Toxic
    - Stealth Rock / Earthquake
    - Rock Slide
    - Recover

    >>Regirock

    Its sp.def goes way over 460 in the sand and it doesnt get raped by specs mences Hydro pump and can completely recover from a Draco meteor unlike regirock. Energy Ball is what a suggest for the first slot due to swampert walling you pretty bad.


    Also

    Swampert@leftovers
    240 HP / 212 DEF / 56 SP.ATT
    Relaxed Nature
    - Hydro pump
    - Hidden power Electric
    - ice Beam / Roar
    - Earthquake / Hammer Arm

    This is modified mixpert is created by me.

    Its called a Phazing, Weavile, T-Tar, Gyarados,Skarm/Forry/Weezing, Electivire, Dragon, pimp smacking machine. It covers alot of your weaknesses.

    If you go Ice Fang and choose glisor, then Roar can be used over ice beam. If you want this to take on swords dance weavile, then i suggest you shove Hammer Arm to OHKO weavile, as swampy can be 2hko'd after a swords dance Life Orb'd Ice Punch or Night Slash.

    While this is a fine Sandstorm team, if you're up against a good Rain Dance team, it's pretty much game over for you. You have a major Starmie weak regardless, as Omastar will not be hitting hard enough and Regirock isn't a reliable counter, other than exploding.

    On Lucario I can understand why you won't want to give normal pokes a free set up by using Shadow Ball.. but you must consider how Heracross can rampage through your entire team. That's the beauty about prediction, you -don't- use Shadow Ball if you suspect a Blissey switching in. Either way, Dark Pulse will do minor damage to her.

    I suggest Cradily over Regirock or Omastar.
     
    Is it just me or does this team have no special wall? Combined with that Water (Starmie basically) weakness, you're in big trouble. Powerful Choice Specs attackers like Sceptile, Salamence, and Roserade will laugh. Really hard.

    Heatran is also really mean to your team. Too many wekanesses to common crap. Anything with a fighting move will just devastate you. Opposing Specs or SD Lucario is a death sentence. Your only real hope is Hipppowdon.
     
    Regirock is his special wall, and he's one of the best Heatran counters because it pretty much lols at any of his attacks, excluding the rare Specs Flash Cannon. But still, the weakness to grass, fight and water is too big in this team and will cause major problems.
     
    weather teams are so ancient now and so annoying =/

    the only surefire way to counter weather teams is with other weather teams. gamefreak better balance weather effects next gen.
