So I find myself being bored of using my same old team (even if it was only a couple of days old) and I decide to make a new one. This team seems pretty straight forward and has been doing reasonably well on shoddy unless it gets Haxed badly or I just played stupidly. This team isnt very "Cookie Cutter" like my usual teams because people tend to b*itch about my SkarmCressBliss with Swampert on the side lol. They call that "cheap" >_>. So if this team doesnt seem to its fullest potential its because I tried to stay away from the "Cheap" pokemon. All help is appreciated and please, I mean please dont say stupid things like Specsmence > DDMence or OMFG U USE BLISS NOOB... $hit like that piss me off, I'm already trying to deal with Shoddy idiots so dont make my case worse =].
So there it goes, try to go easy on me ^_ ^ :

Salamence @ Focus Sash
Naughty (+ Att - SpDef)
Intimidate
EVS:252Att/144Spd/114Spatt
~ Dragon Dance
~ Dragon Claw
~ Earthquake
~ Fire Blast
Mence is of course in this team since hes my fave pokemon ^_ ^. For some reason, even if I start with him, he doesnt come into play until late game unless I see an opening and I try to capitalize early. 144 speed EVs allows him to reach to 408 speed after one dragon dance thus outspeeding CBweavile, Starmie, Gengar, unscarfed Garchomp, unscarfed Azelf, ScarfCross and many pokemon running exactly 405 speed in order to outspeed to ever so scary Choice Scarf Heracross. I decided on Focus Sash as my item because it pretty much guarantees me a free DD against no ice shard Weaviles. Sash is especially good against Bliss that usually comes in to counter Specsmence, in case that happens I pretty much get 2 free DDs because it will Ice beam. I also considered running Lum Berry due to t-wave, W-o-W and other status but I decided agaisnt it. Oh and I almost forgot, Fire Blass says hello to skarm, Forry and Tangrowth that are trying to wall him =].

Spiritomb @ Life Orb
Careful (+ SpDef - SpAtt)
Pressure
EVS: 252Hp/144Att/112SpDef
~ Will o Wisp
~ Pain Split
~ Sucker Punch
~ Pursuit
Now the first thing you notice is Both Pursuit and Sucker Punch and youre like WTF??? well this is the exact reason I run both of them. No one expects both. I love the fact after my opponent sees Sucker Punch they automatically assume that my other move is Taunt and tries to switch out, well guess what? Pursuit sends its regards. Tn my opinion this is the ultimate Gengar, Starmie, Azelf and Alakazam counter after they already saw Sucker Punch. their first thought is to pick up their special attacking skirts from the floor and run like they have a mad pursuiter behind them, bad news for them is that theyre right, Pursuit OHKOs all of them. Life Orb for the Extra Damage and Pain Split to say F*ck You to Bliss =].

Forretress @ Leftovers
Impish (+ Def - SpAtt)
Sturdy
EVs: 252Hp/6Att/252Def
~ Stealth Rock
~ Earthquake
~ Rapid Spin
~ Explosion
Pretty standard Forry =]

Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Impish (+ Def - SpAtt)
Leaf Guard
EVs: 252Hp/6Att/252Def
~ Leech Seed
~ Sleep Powder
~ Knock Off
~ Power Whip
This brain looking SOB is cool. Knocks off is a pretty good move with him, it scouts for different sets due to knocked off items, screws bliss and walls by taking their lefties away, LOLs at scarfers on the switch and pwns Switcharoo Lopunnys ^_ ^. Sleep Powder sleeps incoming annoyances and shows how strong his vines are with Power Whip. I might consider Protect for wxtra lefties recovery and Leech Seed draining.

Heatran @ Choice Scarf
Naive (+ Spd - SpDef)
Flash Fire
EVs: 32Att/252Spatt/226Spd
~ Overheat
~ Earth Power
~ Hidden Power [Electric]
~ Explosion
I <3 this guy. He takes care of enemy Skarm and non scarfed Heatrans. The main reason I added him to this team though is because both Forry and Tangrowth dont like fire very much. HP Electric > Dragon Pulse because people love switching in Starmie, Milotic, Vaporeon and Slowbro on him. Explosion is the for that fat b*tch of course and special walling Cresselia.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold (+ Def - Att)
Natural Cure
EVs: 252Hp/252Def/6SpDef
~ Counter
~ Protect
~ Wish
~ Toxic / Shadow Ball / Aromatherapy / Thunder Wave
CounterBliss FTW!!! I love when someone uses U-Turn on thing because whatever that switches in get SMACKED and very often killed. Wish over Softboiled to help out its teammates. Protect kills four birds with one stone: more lefties recovery, lets wish activate, scout for attacks suck as explosions and helps toxic drain for an extra turn. If ghost become a problem for this, I will switch in Shadow Ball to solve that problem, but I might also consider some more support moves like Aromatherapy or t-wave.
There you go, thats my team for now. Pretty solid imo and can take pretty much any team except Baton Pass teams due to lack of Phazing, but every one that comes to mind for that are "CHEAP" so whatever, it'll stay like that until BP teams start tearing me up.
Threats to this team:
Breloom - IMO the cheapest pokemon along wih Togekiss, sh*it is just annoying to any team
Togekiss - Same reason as above
Swampert - Besides Counter from Bliss killing it stalling it for the kill with WoW or toxic is pretty much my only way to deal with it.
Scarf Garchomp - Because Outrages hurt like a b*tch especially with shoddy an its love for CH hax.
THUNDER WAVE - OMFGLJBBQ this move is so GAYYYYYYY, on shoddy if youre paralized, youre F*ucked. 4 turn fully paralized pretty much means you lose point blank.
Try to help me counter this list...thanx ^_ ^
