Right, since everyone else has decided to argue with each other (Painter and Greene @_@) lol, Im going to tell you what you have major problems with. First of all, you have a huge problem with the Magnezone / Nasty plot mix ape combo.
Nasty plot mix ape usually runs grass knot, and after a nasty plot can OHKO Milotic, and Donphan without exception, as well as coming in on something like a HPice Scarfed heatran and Ohko it with Close combat, Not to mention absoultely raping Scizor with Flamethrower after a Nasty plot. Yeah, i know you can switch out to something else like gengar or heatran to save Heatran or Scizor respectivly, but then you have a choice : Am i going to earth power this thing with heatran? The answer is NO. As you know, the ever present Salamence is an annoyance. Salamence comes in on Earth power, Dragon dances, and then nothing on your team can outrun it, so its a clean sweep. And since they usually run Yache berry, Ice shard is useless against it, and with stuff like NP Infernape running rampant over your team, you are in all respects Effed.
Then the question comes to mind: HAY WHAT IF EYE RUN TEH DRAGON PULSE AND DEN PWN DEM BOTH. Simple answer, Latias or Magnezone. Whether it can be offensive or not, Latias SURVIVES Choice scarf Naive dragon pulse from heatran, and the specially defensive set takes less that a half damage, and then starts calm minding in your face, proceeding to destroy your team with dragon pulse and Surf respectivly. And then again, the Dragon pulse or hidden power ice hits magnezone, and then your in deep trouble man, because Heatran cant run away anymore and gets KILLED KILLED KILLED by Thunderbolt, and then theres nothing to save your team from NP mixape sweep, or Latias for that matter..
Simply said, you need more than one counter to the following : Salamence, Latias (especially spec defensive set) NP mixape, and Magnezone (WHO CAN KILL SCIZOR ASWELL OMFG [Iknorite scizor dying :O])
Oh yeah, and blissey can come in and cripple everything with twave except Donphan and Milotic (Rest) and Flygon
Yeah i know i went insane with the bold print xD
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Crocune >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Milotic in every way possible
