A very Offensive team

Chocolatepie2

Hello! Thank you in advance for looking at my RMT. My team is a very offensive team, as I dislike stall and defense in general. The main purpose of the team is to sufficiently weaken and/or cripple the opposing team through the use of my choice band/specs/scarf pokemon in order to set up a sweep for either my agility Porygon-Z or my speed boost Sharpedo. Here is the team at a glance:

And now the detailed overview:
Infernape.jpg

THE LEAD
Infernape@Choice Band
Ability:Blaze
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed
Jolly
-Flare Blitz
-Mach Punch
-Stone Edge
-U-turn
Infernape does an incredible job as a lead. I'm not one to play any sort of defense, so an anti-lead is perfect for me. Plus, in the current metagame, it is hard to run a dedicated lead with all the priority taunts running around, so, this is great. First of all, it is by no means dead weight if I decide to switch it with another pokemon in the lead position, as the choice band allows me to deal fine damage. As far as I can tell, there is no top ten leads at this point. This is preforming its job very well.

THE TRICK SCARFER
Mew@Choice Scarf
Ability:Synchronize
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed
Modest
-Psyshock
-Shadow Ball
-Aura Sphere
-Trick
At first I thought I was insane when I thought of this, but it has been somewhat effective. Mew is meant to screw up a defensive pokemon like chansey or dusclops by tricking a scarf and then hitting with the appropriate move. This is doing an adequate job. I am open to any suggestions.

THE SPECS
Sceptile@Choice Specs
Ability:Overgrow
4 HP/252 Sp Atk/252 Speed
Hasty
-Leaf Storm
-Dragon Pulse
-Hidden Power[FIRE]
-Focus Blast
This is the hole puncher in my team, meant to hit anything and everything with ridiculously powerful leaf storms. HP fire was chosen over ice because I do mind ferrothorn that much, and dragon pulse takes dragons easily. I hate focus blast, but I have no choice. This is fine.

THE SURPRISE ATTACKER
Donphan@Expert Belt
Ability:Sturdy
252 HP/252 Atk/4 Sp. Def
Adamant
-Earthquake
-Ice Shard
-Fire Fang
-Stone Edge
Donphan catches a lot of people off guard with its high powered Earthquakes. Ice Shard is neccesery, because the rest of my team has trouble with dragon dancing pokemon. Fire Fang is so that Bronzong and skarmory can't stop me. I changed rapid spin to stone edge. The flexibility has worked much better than the constant switching with the CB. This is greatly improved and I like it.
Porygon-Z.jpg

The AGILITY SWEEPER
Porygon-Z@Life Orb
Ability:Adaptability
4 HP/252 Sp. Atk/252 Speed
Timid
-Ice Beam
-Tri Attack
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power[Fight]
EDIT: I removed agility and made it max speed. I replaced agility with Ice Beam. This is still not working great.
Sharpedo.jpg

THE SPEED BOOST SWEEPER
Sharpedo@Life Orb
Ability:Speed Boost
4 HP/252 Sp. Atk/252 Speed
Rash
-Protect
-Hydro Pump
-Hidden Power[DARK]
-Ice Beam
This is my other sweeper. EDIT: I made this purely special with HP dark as dark pulse is illegal. This is now doing fine.
Overall, this team is functioning OK, winning about 50/50. I especially need help with Porygon-Z.

Infernape doesn't need iron fist as it's only boosting Mach punch. Scep should have focus blast as although everybody hates the accuracy it is very strong. Giga drain should be put in there but it's a matter of which grass move to take out if you change HP to fire dragon pulse can be put in as well to cover ferrathorn which you have mentioned is a problem a Dragon pulse deals with dragons. It's sad I looked at all if sceps moves and for 105 in special attack he has very little special moves. PoryZ should have adaptability as tri attack then becomes very strong and will be your main attack as getting those status' are always nice. Sharpedo should have dark pulse instead of crunch as then the EVs can focus more on sp att and the flinch chance is welcome.

Thank you for looking at this. I will consider blaze on infernape. Wow, I forgot giga drain got the power buff, will use over energy ball. If i replace focus punch with focus blast, hp ice with fire, where does dragon pulse go? Should I scrap the secondary grass move? Doesn't seem like it'll hurt too much, I don't use energy ball much anyways. I will test adaptability, also am going to test max speed with no agility and instead icebeam. I think that dark pulse + speed boost is illegal with hydro pump because dark pulse is no longer a tm and can't be bred to sharpedo while hydro pump must be bred to sharpedo. Confusing, isn't it? Thanks again for the rate.
 
4 of your 6 guys have a choice item. Many opponents, especially bulky offensive varieties can set up all over your team.
 
Ummmm, I accidentally deleted this team, and I don't want to rebuild it again because it was not particularly successful. So, I would like this thread to be locked. Thank you and sorry for my stupid mistake.
