DEEZ NUTZ

Thundrcunt

It's A pretty Offensive team, with some influence from HO, except with some support pokes.
This is a WiFi team, Although I have laddered to ~150 with it on PO.

Deoxys-S-Light Clay(SHINY)
Calm-252 HP, 4 DEF, 252 SP.DEF
-Stealth C0cks
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Taunt
Deoxys is an amazing lead, setting up SR, and screens, which are pretty ideal for my team. It has an insanely fast taunt, which also helps me avoid douchebags who want to try to set up on me. I don't run max speed, as I am content with 396 speed, and moar bulk is essential on deoxys, as his utility is invaluble mid/late-game, and max speed is a real waste.

Salamence-Life Orb-Intimidate (SHINY)
Hasty-252 ATK, 4 SP.A, 252 SPEED
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
Honestly, I'd prefer MoxMence, but i'm stuck with this guy for now...
A great setup move in DDance, making him pretty hard to revenge. With Light Screen/Reflect up, (It provides the same effect as Yache), It can take pretty much most non-STAB ice attacks, guaranteeing a DDance, and allowing it to sweep with it's ridiculous offensive might.

Scrafty-Leftovers-Shed Foreskin
Jolly-252 ATK (Whatever EV's give 200 speed exactly, rest invested in HP)
-Dragon Dance
-Drain Punch
-Crunch
-Rice Punch
A great friggin' sweeper. I originally ran this team on PO, so i'm not sure what the EXACT speed investment was, but I remember It rounded off at 200. Standard set, can easily set up a DDance with it's natural bulk, outspeeding neutral base 100s (Lookin' at you Mence) after only one DDance, recovering itself consistantly with Drain Punch, Telling Psychics and Dragons to eat a d!ck, and absorbing status like a boss.​

Reuniclus-Focus Sash-Magic Guard
Quiet-194 HP, 64 DEF, 252 SP.A
-Trick Room
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Psyshock
Me Gusta Reuniclus. Choice Terrakion, Latios and Conkelderp fucked me in the face, Terra and Latios often switch into my Scrafty at +1, where I only hit 300 speed and can't deal with them. In any occasion where I somehow let something setup to an insane level, sash guarantees a TR, allowing me to "Outspeed" and kill a lot of setup sweepers, (Especially Terrakion. Fuck Terrakion.).​

Rotom-W.png

Rotom-W-Leftovers-Levitate
Modest-112 HP, 252 SP.A, 144 SPEED
-Thunderbolt
-Hydro Pump
-HP Fire
-Pain Split
Standard Rotom Is Standard, rounding off my offensive core, taking out many annoying offensive threats, as well as being an efficient weather counter, taking advantage of rain and killing the drill.​

598Ferrothorn_Dream.png

Ferrothorn-Leftovers-Iron Barbs
Sassy-252 HP, 128 DEF, 128 SP.D
-Spikes
-Leech Seed
-Protect
-Power Whip
This set is wonderful. Leech Seed + Lefties is great, with protect to scout for random HP Fires, as well as healing off damage from enemies. Power Whip is the prefered STAB over Gyro Ball, Hitting Hard, and giving much better coverage. Spikes is just something to do while ferrothorn is bored walling the LIVING SH!T OUT OF YOU, and on turns I can't protect.​

EDIT LOG: Replaced Virizion for TR Reuniclus, for needed fighting counter, and virizion just doing the same thing as ferro defensively, and just sucked offensively.​
 
Wait? How is this hyper offense? Its a standard offensive team. Hyper offense relies on getting either hazards or dual screens up, depending on how bulky your sweepers are and then saccing the lead. Then using the rest of the members to slowly beat down the opponent on one side of the spectrum. Either all physical sweepers, or all special sweepers, mixed attackers like DD Mence to bypass some threats are acceptable. This allows you to make as many walls insignificant as possible, by having similar checks and counters, and having pokemon wear down those checks and counters so someone can break through. Absolutely no switching whatsoever, if you switch and an opponent sets up, game over. HO teams usually win by saccing the lead and 2-4 sweepers to create a hole for the remaining Poke(s) to clean up. You have 2 physical sweepers, 2 special sweepers, and one pokemon who's not offensice. Even if you want support pokemon so you don't get owned by Excadrill, you shouldn't run both physical and special sweeping. So do you want an Hyper Offense team (which would involve replacing 3 members) or do you want this to be a regular offensively oriented team?
 
I'd use Double Dancing Terrakion over Virizion so you can deal with Thundurus/Volcarona.
 
Well I'll start by rating the thread. The grammar is atrocious, learn to spell, and try to use correct grammar, this makes people WANT to read your thread. Also, the standard form of posting a Pokemon is as such.

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Ability (if applicable ie. more than one usable nature): Serene Grace
-Iron Head
-Fire Punch
-Ice Punch
-Thunderpunch

Posting like this will clean up the thread, and make it much easier to read.

Now for the team, the core is NOT hyper-offense, but it isn't bad at all. I would not recommend using both Virizion and Ferrothorn on the same team, but I do like the idea of maybe using a Fire/Grass/Water core. This will give a much more solid defensive core. If you do want to have a Hyper-offensive team, perhaps you could drop Ferrothorn, as with Stealth ROCK you have plenty of support for this team. You could then put in something like Mixed Infernape. If you do want the Hyper-Offensive, then I would switch Salamence to either a MixedMence or a Latios. Latios Specs Latios would be a good Pokemon for this team, as it would provide something that could come in an sweep in the late game. Another thing you would want to do is to switch Scrafty out. You may want to try switching it to Thundrus, who carries priority Taunt, which could help with phasing.
 
This a good team, but ferothorn seems out of place. I would replace him with a sd scizor, because his priority is great and you need a steel. Next use a duel screen rotom for when deoxys dies. Finally use a lum berry on verizon to help you combat jirachi and ferothorn better (good ones run thunderwave).

Change scraftys nickname, i am highly offended

I knew I forgot to mention something. Even if you don't change it, I would reccommend you take the nicknames off. #1, that avoids offending people, #2, that cleans up the page. Also, I'm not sure about this, but I think Smogon has a rule against derogatory language.
 
LOL. Sorry, But as an African-American, I find it to be hilarious.

AND ABOUT THE TEAM: It seems to perform pretty well, other then against toxicroak, and D-Nite if I act stupid. lol.
 
Hi, at a glance, it looks like you've built a heavy offensive team of sorts, so I'll keep that in mind and help you improve the execution of your team.

All your members pose an offensive threat against the opponent's team, except Ferrothorn. It's pretty much a free ticket for sweepers to come in and wreck you. Such examples are Bulk Up Conkeldurr, Swords Dance Excadrill, Life Orb Latios (HP Fire), Dragon Dance Dragonite, and most importantly, Quiver Dance Volcarona. All these guys really only mind Leech Seed (Dragonite has Roost anyway), and with screens worn off, can potentially sweep you clean.

Although replacing Ferrothorn will leave you prone to strong Dragon- type attacks, I will help you fare better against the threats mentioned above. Trickroom Reuniclus over Virizion will help you against Fighting- types such as Conkeldurr who sets up on Ferrothorn, as well as using -2 LO Latios as set-up fodder. Not only this, but with Psyshock, you also have a method of threatening stall. Virizion seemed like the most replaceable member, as you have rain checked by Rotom and Ferro, while still getting a potent Special Attacker with Reuniclus. Reuniclus finds numerous opportunities to switch into threats that can hurt your other 'mons. For example, Scarf Terrakion or Scarf Landorus trying to revenge Scrafty, or Specs Latios at -2. Unlike Virizion, Reuniclus is not set-up for Volcarona who could've swept if it set up on Virizion. For the item choice for Reuniclus, Life Orb is obvious, but you can try out Focus Sash. Focus Sash will give you a failsafe method to revenge anything that sets-up due to a misplay with the use of Trickroom, then outspeeding and KOing.

Try out Thunder Wave over Protect or Leech Seed on Ferro, to minimize the set-up opportunities Volcarona and Bulky DDnite get on you. Finally, give Rotom-W a simple 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe with Bold, to ensure Excadrill doesn't sweep you clean if it sets-up on Ferrothorn, and Will-O-Wisp over HP Fire keeps DD 'Nite cautious of setting-up on you.

Standardise you image sizes and remove the nicknames for fuck's sake, no one else finds it funny.

Anyway your Ferrothorn isn't even complete, and it does nothing to Dragons. Your team is raped clean by Latios or Haxorus once Ferrothorn goes down, so you might want to try Shed Shell on him, so that Magnezone can't trap him.

Also, Hi Jump Kick on DD Scrafty. Drain Punch is better suited for Bulk Up sets.
 
If you want Hyper Offensive, then get rid of Ferrothorn and use something like Metagross or SD Luke is you want something that can still take Dragon-hits.

I'm only replying to LK because he actually said something coherent and useful, Instead of whining about (BAN ME PLEASE)s.

I actually noticed exactly what you said: Virizion was underperforming, and could barely do much outside of breaking Ferrocent, which Scrafty does much better anyway. I was thinking of a physically bulky psychic, as Choice Terrakion and Conkelderp fucked me in the face, often switching into my Scrafty at +1, where I only hit 300 speed and can't deal with them, Virizion dosen't outspeed, and can only hit decently after setup, which Scarf Terra Laughs at, and Derp Mach Punches me. I tried Slowbro, But it needed CM for actual attacking prowress, and the ability to take any special hits whatsoever, But I needed TR to hit anything before I got raped, Slack off to not die, and It worked OKAY, but Psyshock screwed me against conky, so I kinda got pissed off at it. Anyway, I'm going to go with the Reuniclus over Verizon, thanks for that.

As for changing Rotom... HP Fire is really my major check to Bulky Scizor and (If Scrafty's down) friggin' Ferrothorn. I'm kinda scared about no offensive investment too, as it dosen't hit THAT hard anyway, and thats with max SP.A.

Ferrothorn... Meh, T-Wave is a considerable option, over Leech Seed or protect, But ProtectSeeding is such a useful, douchebag tactic that I've grown to enjoy. I'll try T-Wave over Protect and see how that goes. I think it would provide moar utility anyway...

Overall, Thanks for the advice.

As soon as Ferro is gone latios takes it down. Why don't you put Gayarados instead of ferro to fix the problem.

Hmm... Well, seeing as no Latios runs Thunderbolt, and Gyarados resists Dragon, and Intimidate will ruin all those physical Latios running rampant, and I can't switch in scrafty on the -2 and set up, nor the is the addition of reuniclus going to allow me to "Revenge" it easily, Why, I think that's a great idea!
 
What no more nicknames? Blasphemy! Your team looks pretty solid though maybe a spinner for aholes like me who use spikes and tspikes?

Meh. Hazards aren't that much of an issue for this team, and replacing member JUST TO PUT A SPINNER would only kinda kill my team balance.
 
Change Hasty to Jolly on salamence, and move the 4 SpA points into SpD or Def, this is pointless in this generation due to the changes to sturdy, which prevents SKarmory from being ohko'd by Fireblast without Stealth rocks (which is what the EVs/nature were for last gen).
 
It looks to me like your team could have some serious issues dealing with a Volcarona. At +1 QD+3 moves Volcarona could easily easily run through your team like Usain Bolt. I think you switch your Ferrothorn to a Specially Defensive Heatran to help deal with this frailty. You still keep the D-Meteor resist you had before, you're just now no longer fodder for one of the nastiest sweepers in the metagame, especially if there's sun up. GLB.
