Sandstorm.

This is my first attempt at one, this is just a sketch of it because I'm still in the process of making it. >.<
Using a lot of OU. So bah.:P

Aerodactyl, Jolly @ Focus Sash
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Stealth Rock
Roar
Ice Fang
Stone Edge

Plain Lead. Start with stealth rock, Roar PKMN in and out, to see whats going on. Deal some damage.

Scizor, Brave @ Life Orb (Technician)
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Hitpoints, 4 S.Defense
Swords Dance
Bullet Punch
Quick Attack
Baton Pass

If my Aerodactyl gets stuck against a something bad (water etc) switch to Scizor, Swords Dance, then speed hit. If a fire type is bought in, switch to Heatran. I tried so hard to breed an adamant one, but it was virtually impossible to get one without swarm, so I settled for brave seeing as speed doesn't matter too much with this set.

Empoleon, Modest @ ???
EVs: 252 S.Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Agility
Surf
Icebeam
Grassknot

Special User, Defensive, Plain. :s Not sure on item here.

Tyranitar, Careful @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 Hitpoints, 128 Defense, 128 S.Defense
Curse
Crunch
Rest
Sleeptalk

Switch this guy, when I'm ready to, to whip up a Sandstorm. Then use him as a defensive pain. Who will be hard to stop, or switch out?

Heatran, Hasty @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 S.Attack, 4HP
Flamethrower
EarthPower
Explosion
Flash Canon

Take a boost from Flash fire and Flamethrower away. Not too hard.

Mamoswine, Jolly @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4HP
Superpower
Earthquake
Ice Shard
Stone Edge

Feedback, if you please ;)

Get rid of shuckle. It sucks hard, really. Many pokes can OHKO it

Why brave on Scizor if he does NEVER use satk? Run adamant as you'll sometimes need the spd. Also, what's the point of baton pass and brave? You'll always attack last and almost never will be able to swords dance and baton pass. The point would be using baton pass along with choice band. Replace it for Superpower or Nightslash. Pursuit without choice band is not worth IMO.

You're very very GYRA weak. Switch dragon pulse for explosion on heatran, so that you can take gyra with you. But I'm not sure if you'll outrun him once he DDs. If not, it can wipe all you team out.

Replace shuckle for Mamoswine. Choice scarf on him. Superpower, ice shard, earthquake and stone edge. This way you have a good mence counter, or you'd be very weak to Mence too.

As Rhys would say:
MixApe says hi to your asshole.

Lose Shuckle, it doesn't do so well in the current metagame especially with Scizor everywhere, even more so on an offensive oriented team such as this.

We also need to know the exact Evs not just "Attack and HP", as well as descriptions for each pokemon, otherwise the mods will be unhappy and lock you down.

A Starmie would serve as a decent check to Infernape and Gyarados, but I think an extra ground+fighting resist would be more valuable. Gengar is a possible check for those two, but I'm stretching the definition of the word check there.
 
Thanks for your feedback everyone.^^

Brave is -Speed, +Attack I think. :X And, Baton Pass is very filler there, I agree. But I think it would be worth it to pass on a Swords Dance to Mamoswine or something IF i can. xD I didn't plan on using it much, except for if I manage to SD and then tag out to something that has the potential to win from there on in.

And I would've gone with Starmie, but I'm trying to build a Ground/Rock/Steel team, and I also don't find Starmie too aesthetically pleasing. :P
 
You just made yourself even more Gyara and Mixape weak... and Explosion does not deal with Jolly Gyarados who outspeeds after a Dragon Dance... or any Gyarados for that matter.

If you aren't open to using certain types, you should have thought of ways to address your problems. If your team is all Steel/Ice/Rock you need a way to take fighting attacks. You'd be better of starting again with these ideas in mind. There's no real way to address all of your problems without restructuring your entire team.

Lucario maybe?

Lucario, Jolly @ Choice Scarf
EVs 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 4HP
Thunder Punch
Zen Headbut
Close Combat
Earthquake

It is difficult to put together a team with restrictive types, and if I can't find a suitable one, I'll redo my team ;)

Edit: And maybe, Aerial Ace or something flying on Aerodactyl, just to take care of ape? :S
