This is a team solely based on Synergy. Im not gonna even point out that i will switch into something that covers the weakness, because thats the point of this team. Well, here you go!
TEAM SYNERGY
MetaKnight (Metagross) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Meteor Mash
- Explosion
The lead of my team. Set up SR, and dish damage. If all else fails, Explosion. Not much to say.
Lava Dome (Heatran) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 208 Def / 48 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Protect
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Lava Plume
stalls with toxic, protect, substitute. If needed, I can Lava Plume and get a possible burn.
Lochness (Gyarados) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance

Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunder
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Volt Switch
Just in case of rain teams, I have thunder. Also, for stab. Shadow Ball, just as a move to possibly lower Sp.D and get good damage. Hidden Power Ice, for the roaming dragons in the current metagame. Volt Switch as a safe switch.
Nurse (Blissey) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled

T-Wave, seismic toss for 100 HP Loss, get rid of status with Aromatherapy, and heal with softboiled.
Da Bug (Forretress) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)

Due to explosion getting nerfed it's not really got a whole lot of use at present. You'll probably find that Gliscor will be switching in on your metagross and as such Ice punch is in place. Thunderpunch is cool too for Jellicent and Skarmory, but gliscor is used more. Not only that but this gross can be a real pain for the commonly seen Jirachi + Gliscor combo. the speed allows you to outpace and OHKO the SpD Jirachi with EQ, and most Gliscor too (with Ice Punch)Originally Posted by AEROJAY

The speed is there to outpace Ttar and things that try to outspeed it, too.
This set works much better as a torment set with Toxic Spikes, however you're not doing that currently and as you're giving very limited description as to how and why he works on your team I'm thinking tran will be replaceable, or at least his set.

If it's not bulky you don't want to be running it. This outpaces 394ers; jolteon and co at +1, and is used to set up on things like Blissey, Skarmory and even Jellicent if it's packing will-o-wisp over Boil Over. This thing is easy to switch in, easier to set up and generally more fun to use.

I'm going to suggest switching this guy for rotom-W check the latter portion of this post.

You always bulk Bliessey's ~Defence over its special defence. However you are better off running Chansey if you're not using Ice Beam / Flamethrower.

My main problem with this team is that you are hugely weak to Magnezone. Zone can switch in on Forretress, stack up maybe +3 against forretress and then wreak havoc on the rest of your team and there's nothing that you have that can effectively beat it.

Just to Rapid spin, and set up spikes. Gyro ball for stab.
You're also rather weak to sand teams. Excadrill can switch in on blissey, Forretress, Jolteon set up +2 and start sweeping.
Landorus is in the same vein as Excadrill.
Reuniclus can set up on blissey, jolteon, heatran, forretress... everything other than gyarados.
Now your best attempt at salvaging this weakness is using a nice defencive Swords Dance Scizor over Forretress.
name: Bulky Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Bullet Punch
move 3: Bug Bite / Superpower
move 4: Roost
item: Leftovers / Life Orb
nature: Adamant
ability: Technician
evs: 252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 SpD
Scizor is covered by heatran and heatran is covered by gyarados.
However you are still very dominated by Magnezone. Gliscor can cover this weakness, sort of. More of a check than a counter, but it will pair nicely with Scizor. Gliscor could go over gyardos, as gyarados is your prot of call for things physical foes and fighters, gliscor covers the same people as well magnezone and excadrill, something that your Gyarados can't boast. This then leaves you down a bulky water, and who better than Rotom-W.
[SET]
name: Choice
move 1: Volt Switch / Thunderbolt
move 2: Hydro Pump
move 3: Hidden Power Fire / Hidden Power Ice
move 4: Trick
item: Choice Scarf / Choice Specs
ability: Levitate
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
This seems like a more reliable pokemon than your current Jolteon and absolutely murders rain teams. I prefer the defencive variant, personally, though.

That's about all I can conjure up, give all of it a test, some of it, none of it, whatever... i think it could help.
Kind of on a break, mis amigos.Competitive Battling Dictionary
No barrel. I insist, after you.

Aside from Gyarados and possibly Jolteon, you have a fairly large Infernape Weakness. That's just at a basic glance.
Alright Tbird. I will test that soon. @Sabeta, I haven't run into much infernape, but mostly just taken down by Gyara.
