That's my second attempt to create a team for wi-fi battling. I must warn you about me being a n00b in this, and i also don't like OU pokemons like Heracross or Blissey.

Without Sleep Talk, Rest is useless setup fodder (with an exception or 2). Spiritomb has a decent way of healing itself in Pain Split, so use it and use Hidden Power [Fighting]>Hypnosis. Magmortar want Hidden Power [Ice]>Psychic and Choice Specs Kingdra want Draco Meteor somewhere, preferably instead of Flash Cannon because of its crappy type coverage. Rhyperior wants a couple attack EVs for the choice band set (probably somewhere from 120- 252 should do). Torterra does better with Roar>Toxic and Scizor looks okay, but id put Quick Attack on there somewhere

Changed Stealth Rock on Torterra for Earthquake. Scizor now have Sword Dance and a fighting/flying/bug attacks (no Quick Attack but imo better type coverage, Aerial Ace is here for enemy Heracross), also changed EVs. Changed EVs on Rhyperior. Gave Kingdra Draco Meteor. Magmortar is now holding Choice Scarf, no Hidden Power for him, maybe later when i'll have time for breeding. Swapped Spiritomb with Gengar, you can see moveset above.

PS. I have a strong feeling that i need to swap Torterra for a Sp.Wall/Staller/Cleric, but i still need grass move in my team for Swamperts. So far i thought about Venusaur or Cradily. Any suggestions?

ther are a ton of special walls. Blissey and Cresselia are the best, followed by Suicune, Empoleon, and Milotic, and there are some :/ ones like Regice, Umbreon, and Probopass. Cradily usually does better in sandstorm, and Venusaur decently stalls, but i wouldnt consider it my full special wall, just a backup.
 
replace stealth rock on rhyperior with avalnche for the dragons, choice pokes only need attacks unless used by alakazams switheroo in which case the items are swithced anyway. If you want stealth rock and a good special wall, blissey with stealth rock somewhere. It's not the best but it's the only choice i see for you right now. to beat swampert i would suggest teaching gengar energy ball over will o wisp. you can't burn and put a pokemon to sleep at the same time that makes no sense. magmortar should be modest and have hp ice or cross chop over psychic (hp ice for dragons cross chop for blissey)
 
Err, that was a mistyping, Rhyperior already have Avalanche, not Stealth Rock, and i don't want Stealth Rock so badly. The point of Sleep and Will-o-wisp on Gengar is to put one pokemon to sleep, and after it gets switched out, use WoW on second one. I wonder about replacing Focus Blast on Magmortar with Cross Chop, because i don't think that two fighting attacks on one pokemon are needed.

Sometimes i say stuff that automatically come to mind. When i was rating magmortar i had completely not seen focus blast. so ya you could either replace focus blast with cross chop and then teach hp ice over psychic or just teach hp ice over psychic (your choice). i would teach it cross chop over focus blast for the accuracy, critical hit ratio, and the fact that few will never see it coming.
 
I don't know, if i replace Kingdra with Empoleon, maybe it will be better to replace Torterra for better P. Wall/Heracross counter, like, um, Weezing?

Cross Chop on a special Pokemon.....makes no sense to me. Kingdra has....Signal Beam to hit....Psychics and Darks. Or splash ^_-. Having 2 Dragon moves seems like a wasted slot. Seems like an overall good team to me.
 
I already have X-scissor on Scizor and Megahorn on Rhyperior, wouldn't Signal Beam on Kingdra be an overkill? :S
 
If you're using SpecsKingdra just use the DM/DP/Surf/IB set. Signal beam is just useless. What the hell is kingdra gonna hit with it that DM won't hit harder? Celebi is about the only thing that comes to mind.
 
Sorry for bothering you so much, but i'm still thinking about better walls for my team, dunno maybe it'll be good to remove Torterra and Kingdra for:

Empoleon @Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP, 56 S.Atk, 202 S.Def
Calm Nature
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Weezing @Black Sludge/Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Spd
Bold Nature
-Sludge Bomb
-Fire Blast
-Toxic/Haze
-Pain Split

Thoughts? T_T
