    Well, I hope you like it. Please rate this second team nicely. Thank you.
     
    Ah, a Trick Room team? In that case, you may want to give your Pokemon -Speed natures, to be more able of taking advantage of Trick Room, in addition to low Speed IVs.
     
    Yeah, it is a Trick Room Team.
     
    No special defense EVs on rhyinferior. they're a waste. Put them into HP and defense. Consider focus punch over avalanche.
     
    Chestorest is terrible...what is up with machamp's EVs? Try max attack...
     
    Trick Teams. Quite "trick"y (hehe...) to pull off. It seems that no matter how slow my Pokemon are, somehow the opponent has a slower Pokemon capable of sweeping away half my team. But in it's defense, I have seen some success with it as well. On Slowbro, I prefer:

    Slowbro@Leftovers
    Nature: Relaxed (Normally Bold, but since you have Trick Room support Relaxed is preferred)
    EVs: 252 HP / 180 DEF / 78 SPATK
    Trait: Own Tempo

    Surf
    Hidden Power [Electric / Grass] / Ice Beam
    Calm Mind
    Slack Off

    While I understand it's difficult to obtain the proper Hidden Power, the benefits are astounding. No doubt, the 70 BP Hidden Power on my Slowbro has helped me down numerous Gyarados, Milotic, and Vaporeon. Try to switch into a Pokemon you feel will switch and use Calm Mind. Then, for the first few turns, use a combination of Slack Off and Calm Mind to achieve o0ber-Bulky status. Most (not here on PC however as my Wi-Fi on Campus doesn't work with my DS =[ ) have come to fear my Slowbro. =P

    I'm not too fond of Liechi Berry on Machamp. In my experience, Choice Band or (*gaspeth*) Muscle Band have proven more effective. Then again, I prefer a bulkier set-up on my Machamp, so he usually doesn't get down to low enough of Health to use Liechi. =[

    Machamp@ Muscle Band/Choice Band
    Nature: Adamant / Brave (In your case)
    Trait: No Guard
    EV Spread: 252 ATK / 162 HP / 80 DEF / 16 SPDEF

    Dynamicpunch
    Ice Punch
    Thunderpunch
    Earthquake / Stone Edge

    I also suggest you attempt to keep your Bronzong alive as long as possible as your team could potentially be KO'd by a Fast Sweeper late in the game (AKA DARNED INFERNAPE). So, I also suggest keeping at least one of your Pokemon with a non-speed reducing Nature in case Trick Room support is gone and you might need to outrun someone.
     
    Thanks man. That might work.
     
    Yeah. I will try that too.
     
    Anymore comments or help with this team?
     
    You may want to consider what to do if you lose both of your Trickroomers. You are going to want a backup plan. Nice overall though.
    Regice - sleep talk + chesto = no. Boltbeaming is made to cover types that are resisted by the other type. So you get a 1/3 chance of using the right move. Swap sleep talk for CalmMind or something.
     
    Hmm...Hard thing to even be successful. Okay, I wll replace Chesto Berry on Regice for Leftovers.
