My first OU team for competitive play

[Zemata]

1. Swampert @ leftovers
relaxed 240 HP / 216 Def / 52 SpD

Stealth rock
Roar
ice beam
earthquake

My lead. It's worked quite well in shoddy so far, wondering if you guys think this is solid for my team.


2. Lucario @ Life Orb
Adament or jolly? 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

Swords Dance
Close Combat
ExtremeSpeed
Crunch

My Lucario has swept three opposing pokes in one match once after a good swords dance, but it seems there's always a gengar at hand....


3. Skarmory @ leftovers
Impish 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 Def

brave bird
roost
stealth rock
whirlwind

No real issues here. Brave bird has helped me against scizor a few times.

4. Blissey @ Leftovers
Natural Cure
Bold 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe

Flamethrower
Softboiled
Seismic Toss
Toxic

My go to pokemon when I don't really have anything else ready. No issues here AFAIK.


5. Flygon @ Choice Scarf
jolly 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Outrage
Earthquake
U-turn
Giga Drain

My flygon has performed well but the choice scarf is annoying. I was also wondering if I should go for solar beam instead of giga drain.


6. Starmie @ life orb
Natural Cure
Timid 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Hydro Pump
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Rapid Spin

My late game sweeper. Thunderbolt never dissapoints me.

Thanks in advance!

Please expand your descriptions as they're definitely not up to rule 3:

All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Take a look at the RMT archive to see what kind of descriptions we are looking for. PM me the fixed descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
