Hey guys! I have been doing OU for a while now, and this is so far my best team. It has all gimmicks, which are getting kind of old. Can you guys rate and make suggestions on it?
Thanks,
Wyboth

Arkeis-Metagross%5B1%5D.png


Metal Beast (Metagross) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Meteor Mash
- Bullet Punch
- Explosion

This is my lead, and he is your usual Metagross lead. Usually SR on 1st turn, unless I predict a taunt, then I wall probably meteor mash and finish off with BP. Usually after this, another Poke comes in, and I go boom. Even if I can't set up SR, 5-4 is still awesome.

Cruel Tool (Tentacruel) (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Surf
- Sludge Bomb

Tentacruel is my special wall/spinner. Again, same gimmick set. I will usually send him in on something like Gengar, and kill it with surf, or spin on the switch. He can do a good amount of damage to sweepers who don't switch, even though he is more of a wall.

Trollfan (Rotom-S) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 40 SAtk / 216 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Confuse Ray
- Air Slash
- Shadow Ball

This guy annoys the hell out of people. I can't tell you how many people rage quit because of this guy. He functions as my spinblocker and forces several switches. He can support my team with parafusion, and force switches.

Sweepcune (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Ice Beam

Suicune is my bulky special sweeper. Same gimmick set, and often I will enter a CM war with another pokemon using CM, and I will usually win. However, a couple of CMs will usually suffice. This thing is hard to take down when it gets going. Sometimes enemies explode, but it's still a 1-1 loss, and sometimes I will predict it and send in Rotom. Trolol.

Broboom (Breloom) (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Spore
- Seed Bomb

People think they have won when they get to my last pokemon. Then this monstrosity comes out. Breloom acts as my physical sweeper, and can turn battles around completely. Still a gimmick set. Usually I will either Sub or Spore the first time he is sent out, which can cripple counters. I will then proceed to sweep their team until I am outsped and my sub is down, which I will then send in a counter to their pokemon.

Riot Shield (Heatran) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Hardy Nature
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Explosion

Heatran is my special sweeper, and works great with predicting fellow heatran switch-ins with earth power. He is, like every pokemon on my team, a gimmick. Another exploder, just in case the need arises. Even though it has max speed, it seems to get outsped a lot.
 
This is a pretty cool team but I'm worried about your conflicting status moves. Toxic Spikes+Thunder Wave+Spore=not good. Tentacruel+Suicune is also redundant because both fill the role of bulky water, and redundancy should be avoided whenever possible. I think you can drop Tenta; it's by no means a bad mon but it is stall-based and this team has more of a bulky offense build. A good fit into this slot in my opinion is a Choice Scarf Flygon; it scouts with U-turn, revenges dangerous threats such as Dragon Dance Dragonite, and checks Jolteon, who's Life Orb set has the potential to really give you trouble.

Flygon @ Choice Scarf | Jolly | EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
U-turn / Earthquake / Outrage / ThunderPunch
Last suggestion: I recommend using Hidden Power Electric over Grass on Heatran; Grass's main use is hitting Swampert, who is covered nicely by Breloom. Electric will nab you a surprise kill on stall teams' ResTalk Gyarados, who currently walls your Loom and can give your team trouble if there are alot of entry hazards up. Good luck!
 
If you are going to use toxic spikes at least have more than just Rotom-A as a staller, who can't even paralyze them any more. Maybe go for a standard CroCune over you offensive calm mind variety, or a stall version of Heatran. I furthermore noticed that you are incredibly special based and Bissey can wall you barring Breloom, who is fragile, and Metagross, who I am guessing will boom in most battles so he cant scare Bissey away. With good prediction it can protect if you decide to boom with Heatran, which is very predictible. You need more physical threats. It is a necessity.

Do what guy above me said and go Stone Edge on Loom. Or Leech Seed. Seed Bomb sucks.

How does Seed Bomb suck? It's the reason Breloom is so adept at killing bulky water-types off. If you're going to say that something is bad (or at least inferior to something else), give some reasoning. Something like "Stone Edge is more suited for this team because it hits Dragonite, which is a rather large threat."
