The Team Building Process
Well first i decided I wanted Tyranitar. I don't use Tyranitar very often on my teams, so I decided to try it.
I added Gengar as a revenge killer and Tyranitar partner.
I chose Colbur Berry Lead Azelf for my lead. I've had some success with it in the past and i decided to use it again
I needed a special sweeper, and I decided on a bulky sweeper like Togekiss. Nasty Plotter than can take stab hits, check.
Ah, the infamous combo, the SkarmBliss. I needed a physical wall spiker with lots of resistances and a great special wall with Toxic and Wishpassing abilities.
Fter rates from you guys and more testing, I have found the VapCor defensive core to beat out SkarmBliss. Also I'm having a much better time with Rotom-W as my revenge killer

A Closer Look
Azelf@Colbur Berry
Levitate
8 HP, 140 Atk, 144 SpD, 216 Spe
Jolly
-Taunt
-Stealth Rock
-U-Turn
-Explosion
This Azelf has enough special defense to take a max SpA leaf storm from Roserade, Which is the strongest neutral special attack I have to take. This Azelf will not be KO'd by a Tyranitar pursuit or Machamp Payback and bullet punch. But it is able to set up stealth rock and then u-turn out. You can taunt slower leads and there is a great chance they will not kill it so I'm able to SR and then u-turn. I've had great success with this Azelf so I decided to bring it onto this team also.
Tyranitar@Life Orb
Sand Stream
4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Speed
Jolly
-Dragon Dance
-Rock Slide
-Crunch
-Earthquake
This is one of the first times I've used Tyranitar and I love it. I switch into a choiced attack that I resist, then I use DD on the switch. This then gives me the power of choice scarf, a choice band, and i can switch moves. Rock slide is more accurate than stone edge and it can still OHKO Heatran and Gyarados. This Tyranitar seems to be working well on the team and he may earn a spot on my next one.
Rotom-W@Choice Scarf
Levitate
252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 HP
Timid
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
-Will-o-Wisp
-Trick
This thing is also my first time using a Rotom forme, and I was pleasently surprised. As it may seem wierd to have trick and will-o-wisp on a choiced revenge killer, it is very smart. Tbolt and Sball give great coverage so while facing a Blissey or other wall, I can cripple it with a CS and then cripple it with WoW. This counters tons of pokes while it can sweep late game with tbolt. This is a great revenger.
Togekiss@Leftovers
Serene Grace
252 HP, 152 SpA, 104 Spe
Modest
-Nasty Plot
-Roost
-Air Slash
-Aura Sphere
This can come in on a double switch caused by Azelf exploding and set up nasty plot most of the time because it take a big hit to bring this thing down. Togekiss can remove Snorlax and Blissey with an Air slash (hopefully flinch) then an Aura Sphere. It can survive a Gengar thunderbolt and OHKO back with air slash. When an opponent tryes to outstall you, roost is invaluable to win. The thing Togekiss fears most is paralyze but can still function decently with it on. I brought this one to the team because a bulky special sweeper is needed and nasty plot makes it very strong.
Vapeoron@Leftovers
Water Absorb
188 HP, 252 Def, 68 SpA
Bold
-Wish
-Protect
-Surf
-HP Electric
This Vappy is amazing. I can switch in on most attacks and scare the user out. This thing kills Suicune, Starmie, Gyarados, and other water types. It also outspeeds and kills Machamp. This can also pass wish while actually doing some damage. Woohoo go Vappy!
Gliscor@Leftovers
Sand Veil
252 HP, 252 Spe, 4 Def
Jolly
-Taunt
-Roost
-Earthquake
-Toxic
This is the epitomy of stallbreaking. It outspeeds most walls and can taunt them and then toxic them and roost stall. It can also stop many sweepers because of this ability. Also, when Tyranitar has switched in, the sandstorm keeps him from being hit sometimes. Anything it can't hit with EQ it can usually outstall with toxic so this is hard to kill.
Well this is my edited team...thanx for the advice, and hopefully more to come. Every little bit helps! Come on SMOGON!!!
