Wants name change
Back to the team...

Basically what the others have said, but you should probably swap Ursaring for a good Starmie counter such as Snorlax as you have a big Starmie weak and that Heracross is basically a stronger Ursaring, since they are both physical sweepers with Guts and a similar moveset, but Heracross is faster, has a better typing as is more versatile.

Thank you and others for the good advice. This is my first time building a competitive team, so I am glad that I had help. thanks!
