A team that isn't standard!

Okay, it's a little bit standard. Only a little though. Actually, I lied, it's kinda standard. But whatever, you're here, rate now.

Edited: Replaced Azelf with Scarftran and Snorlax with Scizor. Thanks Tangerine.

Heatran @choice scarf
Modest
20 HP, 252 Sp.Atk, 236 Spe
Fire Blast
Earth Power
HP Ice
Explosion

My lead, and also a terrific revenge killer. Great against Bronzong and dragon leads, and pretty much obliterates anything weak to Fire or Ground. As volcanic frogs often do, it explodes when it feels threatened.

Lucario @Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
Adamant
252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 HP
Close Combat
Swords Dance
Crunch
ExtremeSpeed

Wall breaker and killer of things. We all know him. Quite the beast late-game. I was thinking about giving Gliscor sub-pass to pass a sub to this guy to ease setup, but I dunno...

Gliscor @Leftovers
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Impish
252 Def, 252 HP, 6 Atk
Stealth Rock
Roost
Earthquake
Ice Fang

Who doesn't love giant bats? He's my physical wall/Hera counter. Sets up stealth rock too, pretty much essential. As stated I was thinking about making him a Baton Passer (see: ability), but decided against it.

Starmie @life orb
Timid
160 HP, 132 Sp.Atk, 216 Spe
Surf
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Recover

Counter-star, to the rescue. Great for all your Chomp/Gyarados/Infernape countering needs! Life Orb is on there so she can help clean things out late game, and so that Yache-Chomp still takes a lot of damage from Ice Beam.

Scizor @leftovers
Ability: Technician
Adamant
252 HP, 216 Sp.Def, 42 Atk
U-Turn
Pursuit
Light Screen
Roost

A good answer to Weavile, helps a lot with TTar with U-Turn, and can Pursuit fragile Ghosts and Psychics who give me trouble (i.e. Gengar and Starmie, etc.)

Cresselia @leftovers
Calm
252 Sp.Def, 120 Sp.Atk, 138 HP
Ice Beam
Thunder Wave/Reflect
Moonlight
Psychic

Says hello to Infernape and friends should Starmie fail and helps with those damn dragons with Ice Beam. EV'd so she can take a Specs Draco Meteor or three. Thunder Wave helps Cress indefinitely, by incapacitating fast sweepers like Lucario and Weavile. Reflect however gives her protection from Pursuit and such, and aids my team as a whole.
 
Why does it matter if it's "Standard" or not? You just need to win games :|

I really, really, don't like Choice Scarf Azelf on your team. With it, you have three Pokemon weak to Pursuit, and Cresselia lacks Reflect to avoid getting killed by it. This means Weavile and TTar will have a field day. Speaking of which, Weavile can easily 6-0 your team. I would remove Azelf and replace it with something like Choice Scarf Heatran, who also does the revenge kill thing and isn't weak to Pursuit to boot. This way you can still revenge kill.

Let's remove Snorlax and give you a decent Weavile Counter. Let's use Scizor, and make sure to hit 300 HP and 250 SpDef, with Light Screen and Roost, and Pursuit, and UTurn/XScissor. This stops the Focus Blast/HP Ice/Shadow Ball Gengar Weakness, has reliable Recovery, and beat all Starmies without Hydro Pump, and lets you Light Screen/Pursuit them. It does the same job, but stops that annoying Weavile weakness, and Scizor can also be a half decent switch into TTars without Fire Blast, and beats Boah.

Give Cresselia Reflect if you want her to stay around and not die from Pursuit, and gives you team support to boot. You seem to be paranoid of Mixape and Gyara, and Starmie does a very good job countering them. Remove TWave for this reason. Consider the Restalk variants, if you want sleep absorption that Snorlax did (that Scizor has taken over :|)

Remove Stone Edge for Ice Fang, I generally find it more helpful since you do have a pretty solid Gyara counter.

Lol, I just thought it would attract more rates.

Alright. I was considering Heatran, now I don't know why I didn't pick it...

I rather liked Snorlax, but okay, changed for Scizor.

I was considering Rest/talk as well, I'll consider that... Thunder Wave does save me a lot of times though. So yeah, considering it. >.>

Alright... I was also considering a B-pass Gliscor though, think that would work with Luc and Scizor at all?
 
Scizor isn't going to sweep,and Lucario creates a lot of opportunities to set up SD himself so I don't think BP is necessary on your team :|
