Bronzong @ Choice Band
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/160 Atk/32 Def/64 SDef
Brave nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Trick
- Explosion

Bronzong is a CB trick pokemon, as you can see. I will trick unless I know the lead will taunt then I'll go with Gyro ball for alot of damage. Azelf is a major problem and I usally have to switch to Gyarados to absorb the fire blast. I was thinking of switching to heat proof for that reason alone but can't deside

Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/40 Atk/216 SDef
Adament nature
- Crunch
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Pursuit

This T-tar is as slow as heck but it's attack is at 517 which is great. I might only get 1 knock out with this guy cause of him being slow. Pursuit and crunch destroy Rotom and Gengar. Earthquake for those rare slowgross. Stone edge for flyers.

Salamence (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 56 HP/124 Atk/96 Spd/232 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
- Outrage


Ok, this is a sweet Salamence set for 2 reasons. 1. Dragon dance and Outrage on the sameset is great because 1 DD makes Outrage much stronger and you can outspeed more pokemons. 2. Lum berry recovers the confusion from outrage if it wasn't used already. Roost can heal and earthquake is really just for metagross and Lucario.

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 hp, 236 Def, 20 Sdef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Avalanche/Ice fang/ Stone edge
- Sleep Talk
- Rest

This is a rest talking gyarados. Never heard of it before have you? Not to many have, anyways like most rest talkers he absorbs status and just rests it off next turn. Avalanche is for those fast Dragonites and Salamences for max damage. I have Ice fange and stone edge as other opions because Gyara's Ice fang is good ice attack and stone edge is good for flyers like Skarmory which I take 1v1 sometimes.

Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/168 Def/88 spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Reflect
- Light screen
- Overheat/Shadowball

Rotom is here to set up Screens and kill grass and flying pokemon. Not much to say.

Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/176 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
- Ice Punch/Thunder punch
- Extremespeed/Bullet punch

My late game sweeper. Luc is my last defence againest dragons and other Dark pokemon like t-tar I have ES instead of BP because it does damage to more pokemon like swampert and other ground types. But I might change it back. I've got ice punch up there, but I was also, thinking of using thunder punch for after Rotom is gone.

Well heres my team. I've had some troble with a t-tar, Metagross, lucario pokemon combo so I was thinking of geting a fire attack on something.
Changes in Red
 
Umm yeah thanks for the advice, I will test it out.


Ok, so I've tested it out some and I love the rotom set, but overheat and Discharge just doesn't give me good attacking power I was going to change overheat for shadow ball, any thoughts? Also, the t-tar set is nice I've been able to sweep with him now. Gyara is great too. The only real problem I have for this team is Sandstorm teams.
 
Considering the set that you are running for Bronzong I think that Trick Macho Brace Bronzong may work better for you, simply because a lot of Bronzongs switchins wont like the drop in Speed. (Heatran and Gyarados for example) This way you can change potential threats to your team into much smaller problems, you might consider running Heatproof so you can trick those Heatran, but your opponant most likely will catch on so I highly reccomend testing that first. That way Taunt users won't screw you over, especially if you don't choose Gyro Ball.

Also on Salamence I would change it from a physically Bulky Nature / EV spread to a physically bulky Nature and EV spread here they are: Jolly Nature 252 HP / 180 Def / 76 Spe, meaning you can set up on things like Gliscor if you get the Intimidate (gyaras avalance wont do "loads" and it can probably roost it off) A lot of your pokemon will have problems with it, especially seeing as over 25% of them will beat your Lucario unless you Ice Punch on the switch in. I ran this set and it allowed me to set up, against the less intelligant users I was able to get quite a few DDs before they realised i could simply keep Roosting off Ice Fangs :/ Also agreeing with One Day Remains about the Adamant Nature on TTar, Don't run avalanche on Gyarados either, run Ice Fang if you really want to keep an Ice move. Also try Bullet Punch on Lucario, you have good coverage for things like Ape and Starmie and Gengar looks much more threatening to you, at least that way you can revenge kill it a little.

Rest of it looks cool, any specific problems / list of threats, if you do feel free to come back and ask I'd be glad to help you out with them =D
 
I did try bullet punch once before but I found out that pokemon resisted it and i need to kill soon, so ES got on the move set. Bullet punch is resisted to Ground right? Cause thats what I need. Salamence is fine as is it's sweeped atlest 10 teams with only help from trick and stealth rocks.

Like i said before Sandstorm teams kill me with out Lucario
 
Bullet Punch hit ground types for normal damage, Lucario doesnt do well against things like Gliscor either way. Gengar can run HP Ice / Shadow Ball / Focus Blast / Thunderbolt and deal with your whole team bar Bronzong who may well die in the opening exchanges as he is your team. That is why I suggested bullet Punch, Rotom can sit there against things like Gliscor and Shadow Ball and Gyarados works weel enough against them, although a DD Gyara might help in a little more respect. The standard set will be fine, I'm just worried about your Gengar weakness thats all, and thats why I suggested Bullet Punch, but then again it was advice, if you don't want to take it, then don't =D
 
As much as I like special bulky mence, it just doesn't work with ttar's sandstream. One of the two have to go. The ev spread allows mence to survive some critical ohko's by like 3%, which ss would negate. Since this is also including no stealth rocks, and your team has no spinner, I would recomend just changing the type of mence you are using.
 
Goldfan- Oh I didn't see that gengar could sweep my whole team, I think I will try bullet punch

Scofield- I see that I have no spinner, I think i might change T-tar out for fortty? Cause t-tar doesn't even really do much for my team cause he is to slow.
 
Fort would give you a 3x fire weakness and only 2 resists, giving you a bad scarftran weak. Since you do have gyarados, I guess it is viable. But I'd also recommend you try out starmie.
