If you thought Porygon-Z was bad, Heracross will be much worse. They have approximately the same power level, but Heracross has 2 good stab moves instead of one, and Weezing =/= physical Blissey. Weezing isn't even really a counter to Heracross. As has been mentioned, Fire Blast and Sludge Bomb don't OHKO, and Will-o-wisp...bad idea. The best bet for beating Hera is Moltres, and even then you better watch out for Stone Edge on the switch, not to mention that SR completely ruins that since they can just go to their Moltres switchin as you attack and force you out before you can heal again.
I have tried a Rock Polish team that led with Hippopotas. It worked fairly well because Golem and Regirock can explode on anything that Rhyperior can't OHKO.
I have also used a lot of ss recently because I love how it messes with status, and the best way to win with it is to play it like Curse Umbreon semistall from last format. They have similar weaknesses and can be played essentially the same way. Cradily has an advantage over other special walls (With the exception of the banned Umbreon ) in that it can take out both ghosts and Moltres without much trouble. Better yet, it walls those lame leech seed Sceptile and Venusaur sets. I have found Curse, Rest, Seed Bomb, Rock Slide to be an effective set. Losing to anything with toxic is terrible, so Recover is a terrible option, and 1 attack is hard to sweep anything with so I go with 2.
I always enjoy using alternative stalling methods, because people always prepare themselves for traditional stall teams rather than more innovative strategies. Cradily is capable of beating the typical Chansey-breaking sets, so it puts a lot of teams in a bind.
