Hello bryanay!
Read the rules before posting a thread! You must have a three line description of why you chose each Pokemon and how they fit in, etc. Fix this quick or your thread could be locked.

As QueBien said, you need descriptions of your team members.

Anyway, the rate. Overall, this team looks quite good, but has a few issues. I note Rotom-W has what looks to be hidden power EVs, but doesn't have hidden power. You should minimize attack and put 31 in defense. As for Lando-T, I like the way you've tried to use non standard sets, but HP Ice doesn't work very well TBH. I suggest you use the very spammable knock off instead.

As for member changes, a suicide lead like Azelf has no place on a balanced team. Since you have problems with Gengars with energy ball, I suggest you use Tyranitar in it's place, as it has the bulk to take a hit from LO Gengar and KO back. As for Florges, it's pretty much outclassed by Clefable in OU, so I suggest you give it a try instead.

Suggestions in short:
- Knock Off>HP Ice on Lando-T
- Tyranitar>Azelf
- Clefable>Florges
Hope this helps.

Hey see your new to smogon so welcome n_n

1) some1 kind of hit this one on the nail, clefable over florges. Clefable just does florges' job alot better. Here is the set you can make use of.

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Wish
- Protect
- Heal Bell

2) You dont necessarily have to change ttar for azelf because, Azlef and Gengar is a very nice HO core although I see that you're running a balnce of some sort. Usually assured rocks then a spin blocker in the back is neat

3) I suggest this set for Landorus. You have no need for HP-Ice because it's usually used for gliscor ans such, but you will have the tools to take it on between clefable and rotom-wash.

Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 24 Def / 232 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 30 Spe
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Stone Edge

You might be wondering why only 30 speed Ivs lol. Well its for the reason of speed creeping between other Scarfed Landorus -I because you always want to slow u-turn out giving you the upper hand on the switch in. 30 speed Ivs only take of one point making this possible. It's a little thing alot of people tend to forget but is very useful.

4)Lastly I'd suggest this set for Mega alt for you

Altaria @ Altariaite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 64 HP / 192 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Roost

dude you're running Speed investment with a 30 Speed IV and no Hidden Power

if you're trying to underspeed other Scarf Lando-T just take 4 Speed EVs out and put them in Defense or something, it's not hard

EDIT: 31/31/31/31/31/30 is HP Ice but that's gonna be weak as piss so

ok I can understand where you are coming from, I just remember there being a reason for taking out 1 IV rather than 4 EVs. can't remember it atm though :///
