And I cant figure out what I want my 6th pokemon to be. I was thinking about baton pass blaziken... but i dont want to give up focus sash on cloyster. I'm not sure what to do or if this team is even balanced. It works out nicely when I use it... and when I do I usually put W- rotom in the 6th slot for will-o-wisp cause i dont have too much status damage for my team...I'm thinking of maybe putting in zapdos? I'm not a very competitve battler, more of a collector. all these pokemon are shiny with perfect IVs. tell me what yall think.

Ferrothorn is an amazing defensive and supportive Pokemon, so I'd swap Cresselia with Ferrothorn. Adding Ferrothorn would also give you a nice FWG core that covers itself nicely. Also, your team's main method of doing damage is physical, so you may want to add a Special sweeper or revenge killer like Deoxys-S to round out your team.

Yeah I see what youre sayin. Im def going to do that, but I dont want to use any ubers... any suggestions on a sweeper? now i thinking of doing kanga, aegislash, ferrothorn, volcorona, greninja, and... latios? latios is one of my favorites too...

None of the pokemon they mentioned are Ubers.
 

Serebii goes by Smogon rules and Smogon says Deoxys-S isn't uber.
That thread's name "Is Deoxys Uber, despite the Smogon tiers?" you're seeing tells you in the title that they're trying to argue AGAINST Smogons ruling of Deoxys-S not being Uber.
Not to mention, that the thread you mentioned, is posted under "Older Gen" category of RMT, tiers change from Gen to Gen.

Read this instead: OU Tier

dude I dont care what you say, deoxys is uber. doesnt even matter what gen. completely uber. I dont play tiers, I play by wifi regulations...which wont allow deoxys. Deoxys is not an unrestricted pokemon. The only legends that are unrestricted are articuno, zapdos, moltres, entei, suicune, raikou, registeel, regice, regirock, latios, latias, mesprit, uxie, azelf, heatran, regigigas, cresselia, thundurus, landorus, tornadus, cobalion, virizion, and terrakion. sooooo please stop, unless you can help me with my team. if not, then get off my post cause im not going to debate this with you. fact of the matter is im not using deoxys.

Latios would another great option. It can definitely hit harder than Deoxys-S can and has better coverage and bulk overall. If you don't want to use Latios, Gengar is a great special attacker and can disrupt opponent pretty badly as well.

Off the topic of special attackers, maybe you should consider running a hazard setter and/or a spinner, as hazards would have considerable synergy with the offensive pressure your team presents and Rapid Spin is almost a necessary support tactic if your running Volcarona. The Ferrothorn I mentioned earlier would be a great hazard setter. Cloyster could run Rapid Spin as a surprise move and could for switches to use Rapid Spin.

Someone seems a bit grumpy~ So let me correct you on a few things since you seem obviously quite confused about it.
1) I'm not the one saying that Deoxys isn't uber, Smogon is, and as I said, it's the rules that Serebii adheres to.
2) If you're going to throw a tantrum, please direct it towards Smogon tiering and not me, I simply came to tell you that what you said was quite incorrect.
3) If you don't play by tiers, what are you doing calling anything Uber or not? that's a classification designated specifically for tiers.
4) Pokemon in Wi-Fi Regulations aren't restricted for being Uber or otherwise, they're just special. (Manaphy is restricted but by no means "uber")
5) Wi-Fi regulations you say~ nowhere in your first post does it mention what type of rules or regulations you play by, so how were we supposed to know that?
6) Reason I mentioned what I did, is because I agree that Deoxys-S would really help your team, and if the case was that you weren't going to use it because of an error, then I thought I'd shed some light on it. Since Deoxys-S has a lot of uses, with setting up screens, taunt, and hits fairly hard. It has access to Stealth Rocks which you have none of and is a very good idea to have.
7) If you want a special sweeper, then I recommend Greninja, it being Protean helps with coverage a great deal, and it's fairly fast as well.
Greninja @ Life Orb
Nature: Timid
Ability: Protean
EV: 6 Hp | 252 SpA | 252 Spe
- Scald | Surf | Hydro Pump
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power: Fire | Grass Knot | Extrasensory

Lastly, here, have a Happiny, make it share some happiness with you and not be so angry ^^
