Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
If U-Turn knocks Golisopod below 50% health, the player with Golisopod gets an extra turn, as the switch forced by U-Turn somehow counts as that player's next turn. Relevant replay: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankoususpecttest-510621767
If Mold Breaker counters Wonder Guard that would probably explain it, it was an Excadrill. I don't remember if it had Mold Breaker, but that's the most likely explanation
So back to the original topic... I've tested both your team and my version of it, focusing on Heatran and Scizor as those were the mons I made the biggest changes to. Mega Scizor is much better than normal Scizor. Your Heatran has crap for offensive presence, but mine isn't as durable as I would...
Valid point. I usually sponge attacks with Chansey until I see a decent switch-in opportunity... Then again, I usually just troll the bottom of the ladder. The people there generally aren't the brightest bulbs in the pack. Also, why HP Grass instead of Grass Knot on Greninja? Just curious
I usually just use Talonflame to take him out - with max Speed I can use U-turn to either do big damage to Gren or gain momentum on a switch. Or just Brave Bird him if it's late game

I've used a lot of these Pokemon extensively myself, and there's a lot of things wrong with this team:
1. Your Scizor build is just... Awful. Sorry, but there's no other way to put that. Here's a better one:
Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Impish...
kabbes, I know the replays aren't great, but I just started playing with this team and I'm at the bottom of the ladder. I'll put better ones up when they happen. And thanks for the tip about those threads, that Weakness Policy Sturdy Magnezone with Tri Attack probably belongs there haha
NixHex...
This is my first time posting in RMT, so any advice is appreciated. If someone could tell me how to add pictures to this, that'd be great :). Anyway, let's get started:
Slaking @ Choice Band
Ability: Truant
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Hammer Arm
- Ice Punch
