Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Congratulations on the #1 spot, you deserve it. The only real problem I see is scarfed Rotom-W if you don't set hazards fast. You would have to at least cripple or sac 1 pokemon in order to kill it. Tornadus would tailwind and you would have to polish it off with Starmie or switch in Ferrothorn...
I'm currently testing taunt and substitute but I think rapid spin isn't needed because 4 of my team resist stealth rock, 3 immune to spikes and 5 immune to toxic spikes.
I tested frustration which is practically the same and the trade off of being wall by bronzong and slowbro is too risky...
I originallly had a defensive Rotom like the one you mentioned and I hated it. Although I think its a legit suggestion so I'm going to test that out although I might change the EV spread a tad.
I've noticed Gliscor and Skarmory tend to be last pokemon but thats because they don't do anything...
Sup LK! Can you please be a sport and rate my team? It's had no good replys yet and I would like a decent rate. Thanks! Link to RMT: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3454474

Nah I will show you the set..
Toxicroak @ Life orb
Trait: Dry skin
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
-Sword dance
-Cross chop
-Sucker punch
-Ice punch
It's what in my opinion, is the biggest threat to your team.
Hey could you rate my team please? You seem to be quite experinced, surprised you don't have a team rater badge yet. Link to my team - http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3454474
There is no such thing as a "lead" this generation because of team preview. This team is very weak to excadrill in the sand because you have no ground resist and it can outspeed and KO your whole team. You will need to have sun out in order to beat it but they can stall the sun out and procide...
Standard mynismcroak outspeeds and kills politoed with +2 cross chop. Latias wont be surviving those sucker punches or ice punches either.
EDIT: Standard mynismcroaks have life orbs :/
Your team is very weak to toxicroak and especially the toxicroak varient with sword dance / cross chop / sucker punch / ice punch. It sweeps your team cold and can setup on rotom and scizor locked into pursuit, hydro pump etc. Your only hope on atleast stopping it from sweeping you is you...
You find yourself stuck in a sandy vortex, with a mole?
Hello there fellow smogonites! This is my 3rd RMT to date and probably not alot of you know me. I've been quite a long time lurker around smogon since late in the 4th generation back when Latias was banned from OU. I've given this...
On your volcarona replace rest with morning sun as it's reliable recovery for volcarona and replace the chesto berry for perhaps leftovers..? Also major problem with this team is there's no flying resist which would be awful if a choice specs/ scarf tornadus would lock itself into hurricane...
Tornadus is a huge threat and i've noticed it before as he can just be locked into his STAB specs hurricanes and ruin my team.. I generally have to sac something to get genesect and with his hp EV's he can survive and kill with a thunder. If theres SR up I will have to go to chandelure and hope...
