Physical Sweeper, headsmashes the poop out of pretty much everything.

So there you have it, my UU team. Its my first serious attempt at a team for this tier so sorry if I left holes and what not.
 
For your Grumpig I would suggest giving it one of these berries.

Figy
Wiki
Mago
Aguav
Iapapa

I suggest these because Grumpig's Own Tempo ability makes it so Grumpig can't be confused, so these berries will heal it's HP a little bit with no chance that it will be confused.
 
...

Pokemon can only have one trait at a time. So its either Own Tempo OR Thick fat. And if that was a joke, im terribly sorry but sarcasm just doesnt sound as good over the net.
 
Aqua Tail is an option over Waterfall.
On Hitmonlee, Bullet Punch and Mach Punch might be moves that could pick off weakened opponents.
Watch out for the fact that Dark-types wall Grumpig completely.

Team look solid. Nice job.

For your Grumpig, have Focus Blast instead of Shadow Ball. That way, Dark and Steel-types won't be able to wall you and you'll also have something to put off Regice and Blissey, the two best (in my opinion) Special Walls in the game.

Here's a suggestion for Drifblim:

Drifblim @ Leftovers
Aftermath
Calm

- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Baton Pass
- Substitute

Drifblim's enormous HP makes for some VERY strong Substitutes that won't go down that easy, and with Baton Pass you can give them to your Sweepers to help them stay in for a bit longer. Plus, it'll make Grumpig even nastier since it'll give him a massive Substitute to hide behind whilst he powers up, and then he can make his own Substitute afterwards once Drifblim's is destroyed.
