Here's my 1v1 Bulky OU Team. Hoping for some feedback. Note that I'm new to competitive battling, so my "reasons" may not make sense to veterans.

Scrafty @ Leftovers
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252/10/0/0/248/0
Nature: Careful
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Crunch
- Ice Punch

This Scrafty serves as my bulky physical powerhouse, an all purpose go-to switch in, that I can count on to deal damage and be able to take damage. His ability allows for sweeping power, I can set up with Bulk Up, then use Moxie boosts to take out more of the opponents team.

Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252/40/108/0/108/0
Nature: Adamant
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Roost

This Scizor is a bulky-speedy sweeper. Technician allows for his Bug Bite and Bullet Punch's power to be boosted, plus STAB and Swords dance can make for a deadly combination.

Ninetales @ Life Orb
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252/0/126/4/126
Nature: Calm
- Flamethrower
- Will-O-Wisp
- Substitute
- Protect
Spr_5b_038.png

My Ninetales can have a number of different uses. His health and Sp. Def.
can make it into a bulky Special wall, or his moveset can make him into a protect/substitute stall.

Reuniclus @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252/0/126/4/126
Nature: Relaxed
- Recover
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
Spr_5b_579.png

Reuniclus mostly serves as a special attacker. With his already high Sp. Atk.
Life Orb w/ Magic Guard, and Calm Mind. My Reuniclus can land some very powerful special attcks with this combination of factors.

Tyranitar @ Hard Stone
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252/60/0/176/0/20
Nature: Adamant
- Crunch
- Ice Punch
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
Spr_5b_248.png

My Tyranitar is used mostly as a physical wall and a physical attacker. His high attack, plus Stone Edge and Earthquake make him very powerful.

Hydreigon @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6/0/0/252/0/252
Nature: Calm
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
- U-Turn
Spr_5b_635.png

My Hydreigon is used as a special attacker and lead-off attacker. If in trouble, he can use U-Turn to escape.
 
I don't see how Scrafty is gonna be doing any sweeping with 58 base Speed.

Consider Dragon Dance, he's already bulky as is.
 
if you want a special wall use heatran over ninetails as ninetails doesent benefit the team what so ever plus heatrans a great counter to sun teams witch this team would get raped by. plus stealth rock over EQ on tyranitar.
 
As Arrandale said, your Scrafty isn't gonna sweep anything without Dragon Dance and with only 58 base Speed. Change it to either a DD set (with max Atk/Speed, Moxie (though Shed Skin is fine too) and either Adamant or Jolly nature), or keep Bulk Up but put Rest over Ice Punch and change the ability to Shed Skin.

For Reuniclus, you should max HP and Defense and use a Bold nature. Also, you should consider using Leftovers over Life Orb.

As Subak said, Ninetales is doing anything for your team, switch it to Sp. Def. Heatran, which has better stats, better typing, immunity to poison and isn't weak to SR.

Your TTar set is kinda odd, you should probably use it either as a Special Wall, of if you want a offensive set, use Band or Scarf.

Hydreigon is mostly fine, though I don't see the point of a Calm nature. Change it to Modest or Timid.

Also, you should probably expand your descriptions a bit, or this thread is risking being locked.

Anyway, hope I helped. GL with your team
 
Scrafty isnt very good in this team and it cant sweep. So I would add Conkeldurr over Scrafty. Conkeldurr has more ~bulkiness and Atk.
-Drain Punch (STAB, regain HP). Scarfty is prorably gonna drop to BL so that is even bigger reason to change it.
-Payback (For thoses who resist Fight. If you are gonna use this move make sure you have little bit SpD evs to take opponents move.
-Mach Punch (STAB, priority move)
-Bulk Up (Boosting to your Atk and Def)

Ninetales (Drought) is useless in this team you already have that Ttar (Sandstream). So like SubakSupreme said, use Heatran over it. However dont use Heatran as SpD wall, because Ttar is so much better to that job.
Move set for Heatran
Item: Leftovers
-Fire Blast (85 acc is good cost for 120 power, STAB
-HP Ice (For Dragons that like switch in)
-Earthpower (Handles opponent Heatran etc. if it doesnt have Air Balloon)
-Substitude (Really good move, keeps you safe when behind Sub)

You could put Scarf to your Hydreigon because you dont have very fast pokemons; DD Mence is gonna sweep otherwise..
Good luck :)
 
yep, title says it all, i would like to test this team out in P.O if thats OK with you, so, yeah team LOOKS good, so i would like to see if it works :D

im also still a n00b :C

i JUST used the team, and it REALLY works, whoever says scrafty sucks, maybe hasnt tried the team out, and i have to say, THIS IS A GREAT team, hydreigon as a lead works WONDERFULLY, and scrafty haz saved ma ass, so AWEZOME team it is epic
 
Just popping in to say to keep your Scrafty as it is- It does sweep, just not in the way people are used to. It's called bulky offense- You smash your opponents apart in one hit, and they find themselves completely unable to hurt you.

EDIT: Also, Scrafty has far superior Special Defense when compared to Conkledurr, as well as a better typing, Moxie, comparable defense, and the list goes on.
 
Thanks

Thank you guys for responding. So do you think I should switch my Ninetales out for a Heatran? What would he bring that Ninetales doesn't?

Ninetales has pretty bad stats, and Heatran is a defensive monster, and can also attack well. It's a better bulky attacker than Ninetales. The only reason I can think of for using Ninetales is to feign a sun team, but it's obvious that it's not from a tyranitar. Also, I might suggest to use it as a main wall, since all of your pokes are bulky attackers, which is a hard to handle since none have a lot of power to take down walls. I think this would work (from smogon since I'm lazy and it's a good set):
Heatran
Lefties
Calm
248 HP / 100 SpD / 160 SPD
Lava Plume
Roar
Protect / Attacking move
Toxic
Also, you might want to change Lefties on that Hydreigon to a choice item, to hit harder / faster.
 
taking the lefties off of hydreigon?

i dont think it would be a good idea, the choice means he is LOCKED into a move and the set REALLY doesnt need that as you can attack U-turn out, attack U-turn out, or just give your opponent a dracometeor and switch out so hydreigon does more damage next time hes switched in

The thing is, Hydreigon's a bit too slow to u-turn out of those fast threats. It either needs to hit hard or go faster. Also, one can always U-turn when expecting a switch, even when choice-locked.
 
So I decided to take your advice, I pulled out my old Pokemon Platinum, and now I have a shiny Heatran with Entere's reccomended moveset. I gave Hydreigon a Choice Scarf, and also used Platinum to hook myself up with the reccomended moveset for Tyranitar (Needed the SR TM).
 
Seeing as you have somewhat of a Fighting Weakness, I'd suggest Scrafty>Chandelure. You could run a small synergy with a Hydreigon-Chandelure core. Chandelure takes no damage from Fighting and resists Ice attacks, neutral to Dragon attacks; stay weary of Haxorus. Chandelure also covers Scizor's weakness completely with a massive Sp.Attack stat and FlashFire ability. Hydreigon can cover Chandelure's Water, Ground, and Ghost weaknesses; stay weary of FocusBlast Gengar.
