Marowak (M) @ Thick Club ** Boner
Trait: Rock Head
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Focus Punch
- Hidden Power [Bug]
- Rock Slide

Hits a lot of stuff hard. Maybe I'll go jolly for milotic and metagross i guess, but I like adamant.

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers ** Sea Dragon
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 148 HP / 132 Atk / 104 Def / 44 Spd / 80 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Rest
- Thunder Wave

I had a heracross weakness and this solves it almost perfectly. Spreads around paralysis, might go roar but I don't like giving metagross and tyranitar free switch-ins.

Snorlax (F) @ Leftovers ** Fudge
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 140 HP / 176 Atk / 32 Def / 16 Spd / 144 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Return

Curselax. Might try something newer and less boring or another special sponge.

Slowbro (F) @ Leftovers ** Pudge
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 148 HP / 176 Def / 88 SAtk / 96 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Surf

Favorite bulky water, it is a tad vunerable when resting.

Regirock @ Leftovers ** Cocoa Puffs
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 204 HP / 176 Atk / 76 Def / 52 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Thunder Wave

Repalced steelix and skamrory for the physcial wall positon, spreads around paralysis.

Raikou @ Leftovers ** Tazzler
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 124 HP / 40 Def / 176 Spd / 140 SAtk / 28 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt

I had reflect here and it helped, but I got into a situation where I could have won agaisnt a bell/seed celebi, so I put back in substitute. Might smush all the defense evs and special defense evs into hp.

Cloyster (I love spikes and I need spin) would be a great thing to have on this team, but I don't know where.

I think this team covers almost everything well, though boah does take a nice dump on this team, but thats rare so I think it shouldn't be a problem.

IMO Focus Punch > EQ on Regirock since you have EQWak/Gyara/Lax. The para can bite them and you might land a FP in both ways.
Boah weak, although its not like anybody uses it. And if someone uses a Sleep move you are down 5-6

Meh, I like EQ. Bulky Waters like milotic are a bit problematic.
 
Double-Edge over Focus Punch on Marowak. Earthquake and Focus Punch are redundant.

Gengar will give you trouble when it comes in on your Lax.

I already changed earthquake to shadow ball on snorlax.

Focus Punch is really nice for skarmory and such.
 
Speaking of Skarmory, you could use a spinner.

I have two possible combinations-

Marowak and Cloyster or Sandslash and Gyarados.

The first one provides me with instant attack power and the ability to spikes, but leaves me a giant heracross weakness. The second loses the ability to spike and loses attack of the bat, but sandslash can fufill the same role with slightly less attack power and can be a back-up DDtar counter and gyarados deals with heracorss and spreads around paralysis.
 
Spikes are overrated, as 99.9% of all teams carry a spinner. Not to mention that you have nothing reliable to block spinners...

Go Sandslash/Gyarados. That's my opinion.
