You have enough walls, but I'd not go either here. I'd get Machamp or a different mixed sweeper.

Starmie@Leftovers
~Surf
~Ice Beam
~Thunderbolt
~Recover

sure

Heracross@Leftovers
~Megahorn
~Curse
~Rest
~Earthquake

I guess

Blissey@Leftovers
~Ice Beam
~Thunderbolt
~Softboiled
~Heal Bell

ya

Steelix@Leftovers
~Earthquake
~Rock Slide
~Curse
~Rest

roar over curse, you lack a phazer

Zapdos@Leftovers
~Thunderbolt
~Drill Peck
~Rest
~Sleep Talk

sure

looks solid if you get a physical sweeper to take snorlax down better.

Should I throw Machamp over Heracross or Typhlosion?A Machamp with Cross Chop,Rock Slide,Earthquake,Curse/Hidden Power[Bug] might work good as a physical sweeper.Hidden Power[Bug]will work good against psychics.Should I use this over Heracross?

Dont use either. Go with something else with support like an Exeggutor or something.

Starmie@Leftovers
~Surf
~Ice Beam
~Thunderbolt
~Recover

Drop Ice Beam and Thunderbolt for two of the following: Reflect or Light Screen/Thunder Wave/Psychic.


Heracross@Leftovers
~Megahorn
~Curse
~Rest
~Earthquake

Sesimic Toss over EQ or Zappys, Skarms, and other Fliers will laugh at you all day.


Blissey@Leftovers
~Ice Beam
~Thunderbolt
~Softboiled
~Heal Bell

Light Screen is always an option, altho your set is fine.


Steelix@Leftovers
~Earthquake
~Rock Slide
~Curse
~Rest

It doesnt Rest well, and you have no P Hazer. Add Roar in its place. Curse is meh...Body Slam over Rock Slide adds to parasupport. Explosion is always an option. Or you could just use Skarm over this.


Zapdos@Leftovers
~Thunderbolt
~Drill Peck
~Rest
~Sleep Talk

Yeah.

"Should I throw Machamp over Heracross or Typhlosion?A Machamp with Cross Chop,Rock Slide,Earthquake,Curse/Hidden Power[Bug] might work good as a physical sweeper.Hidden Power[Bug]will work good against psychics.Should I use this over Heracross?"

I would...although better sweepers are out there. HP Ghost is even better for Machamp than HP Bug. But both work. Fire Blast would be needed for Skarm and Lix coverage basically. Drop Typhlo for Eggy. you will be happy. Typhlo will not last long at all.

i like Counter on Blissey, cause no one will throw and special sweeper against it, and you dont want to lose your beller

your team lacks an annoyer IMO. Somethign like Umbreon (@Leftovers: Rest, Charm, Toxic, Confuse Ray) will force them to switch and use up possible heal bells. any annoyer can work, but Umbreon can take hits. id put this over Typlosion

if you go with Machamp, put Fire Blast on it for Skarm

Well..I was thinking about using HP Bug because that would help me against psychic weakness.Fire Blast could be a option if I end up taking out Typhlosion.Exegguator is good but I think that Typhlosion would be good to use.It will help against Steel/Bug pokemon.

Typhlosion could take out Skarmory.You got a point there with the Counter Blissey.I really don't think that he has the Defense to pull it off good.Umbreon might be useful in there.

Zapdos handles the Forry, Skarm, Heracross, etc and Starmie handles Lix. You dont need a weak Typhlosion just for them. Eggy would do you much better in the long run.

If you go with Counter Blissey, you cant have Heal Bell on it at the same time. Ditch the Counter idea and go with Heal Bell. Umbreon @ Lefties Charm/Toxic/Pursuit/Rest is the best set for Umbreon. If you wanna use it, go with that.

So yeah. I would go with that advice.

I don't really think I will need Typhlosion then.Forretress as Altmer once said that Forretress can't take electric attacks real well.

Umbreon seems kinda nice too.The only problem is that when you Toxic them there going to most likely switch out then.Mean Look could stop them though.Exegguator seems good to but I would have 2 psychic types then Starmie and Exxeguator.

For the Machamp thing,I think I might go with Champ instead since it can use Rock Slide against it's flying weakness.I was wondering which is better to use Curse or Fire Blast?Curse would be nice since Machamp is pretty slow as it is but Fire Blast could help against Skarmory and Forretress.

Forry has VERY low special defense. It cant take any special attacks (not named Psychic, Dark or Grass) well at all. Electric is just one of them. And it gets walled by Skarm and Rhydon anyway.

When anybody sees Umbreon, wthey will send out their PHazer. Mean Look is a waste. That Umbreon set I posted is an annoyer. It stops Cursers, annoys with Toxic and Pursuit, and lasts a VERY long time.

Fire Blast would be the better option since Skarm is its natural counter--and is present on damn near every team.

Ok.So I guess I could use Zapdos to take Forrtress out.

Yeah,especally with it being a dark type pokemon.I could see it working but Im not sure with Faint Attack.I think that Charm would be better since most people would possible bring out a physical pokemon out against it so you could drain there Attack to the ground with Charm.

Ok,I guess I will use a Machamp then.Fire Blast would be better to use cause of those Skarmory's like you said.

Yeah, it is. I made sure to state that a few posts ago. Would be nice if it were legal though...

Ok.I will stick with the boltbeam Blissey then.Would a Venusaur be good to use as a staller with Razor Leaf,Sleep Powder/Reflect,Synthesis,Leech Seed or not?

There all about 50+ now.I was thinking that a Venusaur might be better because you could use Leech Seed to sap and regain health each turn then use Sleep Powder and attack away.
