HADOUKEN!
Gengar (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 80 HP / 240 Spd / 188 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Hypnosis
- Will-O-Wisp

This is pretty Self Explanatory. 347 to outspeed Infernarape. 301 HP for a good LO number.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 192 Def / 76 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Curse

I like this build a lot. It can take 5 STosses from Blissey and can do a number on it after Cursing, since it doesn’t take much from Blissey’s attacks. No Curse IP 2HKO’s Garchomp, and if it’s Cursed, should be alright against it. It takes on other Bulky Waters, sans Suicune, and most of this gen’s power sweepers nicely.

Metagross @ Choice Band
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 176 HP / 232 Atk / 100 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Rock Slide

Self Explanatory. 201 to catch things drifting at 200.

Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 96 HP / 240 Atk / 172 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Stone Edge

Awesomeness. 201 for the same reason as Meta.

Cresseria (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 204 HP / 252 Def / 16 SAtk / 36 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Grass Knot / Energy Ball / Psychic
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind
- Rest / Moonlight

Rest, just because of Sandstorm. Iffy on first Attack. EVs are screwy, imo.

Togekiss (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 228 HP / 168 Def / 112 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Nasty Plot
- Baton Pass
- Wish
- Air Slash / Thunderbolt / Ice Beam / Grass Knot

Supportz. I don’t know whether to pass Schemes or not. TBolt for Gyara, who’s IF surprisingly doesn’t do a lot when it’s DD no times or one time. May take from Defenses to put Special Attack at 300 to get Bulky Waters better if I GR.

My team is a bit on the bulky side. Surprisingly so, Bulky Waters, especially Cune, seem to give me huge problems, given that Togekiss doesn’t like IB, but I guess Cresseria can take them. I think that something would be better in either TTar or Kiss’s spot. Any suggestions? I also think I need a spinner, but isn’t necessary, or a Hazer, but meh.

Threat rundowns:

- Azelf can’t hurt my team because of Cresseria.
- Gyarados can’t hurt my team because Togekiss can take it and doesn’t take much from IF, DD or not.
- ChoiceMence can’t hurt my team because Cresseria can take it well, especially CMed. Swampert takes Regular Mence.
- Rhyperior doesn’t seem to do much CBd, if I predict well, or curse with Pert.
- Manaphy gives me problems. If I use Energy Ball Cresseria, I’d be fine.
- Dragonite causes issues. CB Outrage 2HKOs Cresseria, Kiss, and Pert.
- Garchomp, meet Cresseria. Next.
- Gross doesn’t do anything because of CursePert and Cressy does its fair share of walling also. Explosion hurts though.
- Heracross requires team effort to take down, but is possible. I just have to sleep with Gengar, or check to see if it’s CBd.
- My team is too awesome for Rampardos.
- Infernape is the only thing making me want to put Psychic on Cressy. I can take it though with Togekiss, granted I use Air Slash, and I may raise Gar’s speed to 342 to take this.
- TTar. Swampert and Kiss are EVd in a fine way so that they are both 3HKOd by CBTTar Crunch.
- Cresseria and Pert like Electivire. ^^
- Lucario can cause some problems until I find out what set its running.
- Starmie is gotten by Cresseria.
- Weavile is gotten by Pert
- Cressy loves Duggy. ^^
- PZ rapes my team given, 1: It’s AG’d or Schemed. 2: Cressy hasn’t CMd yet.
- Togekiss is walled.
- Medicham isn’t a big threat, but can take me if I’m careless.
- Zapdos can give issues if not prepared.
- Gengar can cause problems until I figure out its set, but then it’ll still be a butt to take down.
- Swampert. Meh. Kind of Cressy, and Kiss.
- Suicune is an easy lose for me. This is why I think I need a (P)hazer.

I came prepared on the threat rundowns, imo.
 
Could you explain the EVs on Cress? I'd just max out its HP. Although I'd might also replace it. Cress and Tar don't mesh. W/out a full Moonlight, Cress can't take on CSpecs Mence.

Kiss can't learn TBolt, so life is just that much easier.

Zen Heabutt > Rock Slide on Meta or its walled by Weezing. Wait nvm, I use Weezing...
 
The people ask:

Where?

._.

EDIT
I'm pretty meh on ZH Meta.

432 HP, max Lefties, and Max Def so I can invest in SDef and SA.

Gosh. Grass Rope works on Gyara anyway I suppose. Checked Damge Calc. It doesn't unless it Plotted.

Survey Says:

Vaporeon > Swampert due to your Swampert being ugly and fat.

Survey can be mean at times, yes?
 
You know that just opened up a Huge Elekible weak with that one, right?
 
Pert is the only taste of originality in this team. Pert also makes quick work of Weavile (but Gross does too) and tricks Bliss into thinking that it could capitalize on him (while Pert gets free Curses.)

If no ZH, then use Pursuit on Gross. It makes sure that Cress has a nice trip back to the Pokeball.
 
Ever team has an Electivire weak unless, really. HP Grass Vire beats Swampert either way.
 
I'll consider it over RS.

I'm bringing CursePert back.
 
HP Grass Electivire could try to use its Hidden Power on Cres then. Its not hard to perform a simple test by switching Pert to Cres. Electivire also hits Vaporeon too...

Cursepert pwns. I need it to make a comeback so I could finally make use my Psych Up Jirachi :D.
 
I really don't like Tyranitar on this team at all, it really hurts Cress and Gengar folds even quicker than usual with life orb and sanstream eating away at it (which also makes 301 HP pointless).

personally, I'd replace tar with Light Screen Venusaur, it takes on waters and while it doesn't do much to electrics, it can leech seed them and with a light screen up they shouldn't be too hard to defeat.
 
So

Venusaur (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 204 HP / 212 Def / 36 SAtk / 56 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
