    Sorry it's not too pretty this time. I'm in a rush. I'll fix it up later. All help is greatly appreciated :)


    Cloyster @ Life Orb [Water / Ice]
    Jolly Nature
    Ability: Skill Link
    EVs: 48 HP / 252 Attack / 208 Speed
    - Shell Smash
    - Icicle Spear
    - Rock Blast
    - Shell Blade

    The powerhouse and the main member of this team. Gen 5 has made this pokemon great. I used to use him RBY and now he is useful enough to use competitively.

    Magnezone @ Leftovers [Electric / Steel, x4 Ground Weakness]
    Timid Nature
    Ability: Magnet Pull
    EVs: 40 HP / 252 Sp. Attack / 216 Speed
    - Substitute
    - Thunderbolt
    - Hidden Power [Fire]
    - Flash Cannon

    Magnezone is here to cover Cloyster's biggest weakness. Empoleon. Since Empoleon can resist all of Cloyster's moves and OHKO him with a Grass Knot. I figure Magnezone would be the best switch in since his ability and keep Empoleon from switching out and I can quickly get rid of him. Flash Cannon is there just in case someone wants to switch a Tyranitar on something I don't have trapped.

    Forretress @ Shed Shell [Bug / Steel, x4 Fire Weakness]
    Relaxed Nature
    Ability: Sturdy
    EVs: 252 HP / 176 Defense / 80 Sp. Defense
    - Toxic Spikes
    - Spikes
    - Rapid Spin
    - Earthquake

    Forretress is for a Defensive Wall and to be able to set up Spikes and T. Spikes and also blow away entry hazards.

    Jellicent @ Leftovers [Water / Ghost]
    Bold Nature
    Ability: Water Absorb
    EVs: 248 HP / 216 Defense / 44 Speed
    - Scald
    - Will-O-Wisp
    - Recover
    - Taunt

    Jellicent comes in on predicted Rapid Spin and can stall many pokemon. Taunt is there to stop pokemon using moves like Blissey. Will-o-wisp is there for anything that can resist the poison from Toxic Spikes or if Toxic Spikes gets blown away.

    Hydregion @ Life Orb
    Modest Nature
    Ability: Levitate
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp. Attack / 252 Speed
    - Dragon Pulse
    - Fire Blast
    - Taunt
    - U-Turn

    Going to try this one. Fire Blast for Steels and U-Turn for Celebi and Reuniclus

    Terrakion @ Leftovers
    Jolly Nature
    Ability: Justified
    EVs: 50 HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed
    - Swords Dance
    - Substitute
    - Sacred Sword
    - Stone Edge

    A end game sweeper and can take down the likes of Gyarados, Herracross, Hydreigon, Conkeldurr, Heatran, and Rotom-W. Also and experimental Pokemon.

    Not here for an incredibly detailed rate but tbh your team has a hugehugehuge issue, especially if Cloyster is your key sweeper - you're Conkeldurr weak. I think the only things it doesn't OHKO with a +1 Mach Punch is Magnezone and Jellicent, and Jelli loses to Guts-boosted Payback where Magnezone hits with with Thunderbolt and then dies to Drain Punch and Durr gets all its health back. I'd try something like Reuniclus or Gliscor over someone - right now, you simply cannot avoid getting beaten by Conkeldurr entirely.
