Ablities would be great :)

Power herb could be useful on Charizard if it's sent into a water type.
One large-ish problem-using Sunny Day would make half your team very vulnerable to fire moves.
Send out Haxorus and clear up any potential problems you may have there.
And for Haxorus,maybe a rock gem?
After a Dragon Dance,Rockslide could be a very useful move despite not being STAB-there's always that chance of flinching(Razor claw could also be an option to increase the chances of this happening,but it doesn't have to be reliable to be useful).

Good luck abusing the sun in a team with a Water-Type, a Grass-Type whose only thing that gets benefit from the sun is its Hidden Power, and two Steel-Types.

Moveset-wise, they're good....synergy-wise, not so much.

You activate Sunny Day, and half your team will be 1HKO able. If you're going to build a team around Sunny Day, you don't include Steel types/straight Water types/Grass types with little benefit. I'd consider a Tangrowth Chlorophyll (spelling?) sweeper set if you're adamant about using a grass type, and a bulky water type with a secondary type (maybe Lanturn/Slowbro?) if you have to use water.

I say leftovers on Charzard, because if charzard is losing health because of solar power, you want some health recovery, and also, Life Orb on Haxorus.

Here's an idea:

Charizard@Power herb

Focus Blast/Brick Break
SolarBeam
Flamethrower
Airslash

Just a suggestion,mind(not too good at this).

Rock types can destroy Charizard.
Whilst Focus Blast is strong(uses sp.atk stat)it's inaccurate.
Brick Break's accurate,but does less damage.

Solar Beam+Power Herb would probably be the safest option out of sun.
Airslash and Flamethrower for STAB(the latter benefits from blaze too).
It's clearly a bit one-dimensional,but hope it helps you to decide

Mild/Rash/Hasty/Naive if Brick Break is the first move.
Modest/Timid if it's Focus Blast.


The more common set replaces Solarbeam with Dragon Pulse, and has something else for the hold item.
 
Is there any Psychic type pokemon that might be better than Metagross? If not, I believe I'm done. Rates? Comments? Questions about strategies or stuff like that? Am I getting ridiculous with my chain of questions??? lol

I don't think you need to change metagross because a steel pokemon provide a lot of resistances for you team, so i would keep him.
 
hmmm, well with Serperior, after I use substitute, I can use a leech seed, then giga drain it and get leech seed health til the opponents pokemon faints. I'll post the rest later, gotta go to school

Here's a Metagross set:

Metagross Adamant Nature
~Agility
~Meteor Mash
~Earthquake
~Ice Punch

Ice Punch gives you better coverage than Zen Headbutt,so you should use it.
 
K well I'm done, honestly I don't even care about rates and comments. I am actually going to do a Unova only team just like this that covers every type, this will be fun lol.
