Abmaru

So here is my Diva Team hope you guys can help me

Ability: Blaze
EVs: 64 Atk/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Close Combat
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Fake Out
--- LeadApe I took out SR because I wanna surpise people and hit hard this poke has done what I made it out to be to Ape always finds a way in my teams either as a mixed sweeper or lead

Latias (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
- Trick
---I'm still getting used to the idea of Latias only reason it's there to be honest is the Stab Draco Metoer to cause major damage on anything that isn't immune to it she can be replace so yeah :D

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Def/252 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Softboiled
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
--- I always use CM bliss not Support or WishBliss always Bliss people think they can set up on here most people switch a physical or mixed sweeper on here most of the time they are weak to Ice attacks they are like wtf when it get's Ko'd so she isn't going no where. Ice Beam is for Dragons who think they can set up, T-Bolt for that war with Gyra/Vaporean and the ever pressuring Suicune

Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
- U-turn
--- He can be replaced but I'm Liking the CB bullet Punch's and U-turn's good for T-Tar really but I can see him being replaced by MetaGross or whatever I need you guy's help

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 188 HP/252 Def/68 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Protect
- Surf
- Wish
--- You got to admit Vaporean is a beast at WishSupport I'm thinking Ice Beam though on him but really hasn't made me think that yet anyway standard set anyway so yeah
Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Discharge
- Will-o-wisp
- Reflect
- Overheat
--- Reason For Rotom It's always been good to me I use my own EV spread I think it's pretty effective to say the least I took out Shadow Ball or HP fighting so I can use this guy for support it has really been a life line for me to Cripple Scizor/T-tar's/ even sp attacking poke's so if I could I would want him to stay

The reason why im still at 1330 is because I always get stopped by stall team's or trick teams. Team full of pokemon full of the move trick horrible isn't it. So if you could help me out I wanna get back to the leaderboard again like last summer best summer ever btw :D
 
You're almost completely lacking descriptions. EX: Why they're on your team, roles they fulfill, choice in moves, so on so forth. Therefore, it makes it very hard to rate your team.

EDIT: Grammar fixes make posts more appealing.
 
Hmmmm. Alright.

Infernape running HP Ice confuses me, unless you're planning on saving this baby for later on. Grass Knot will take out Swampert leads who could trouble you otherwise. I personally don't think Ape is an effective lead in this metagame (I'd recommend Empoleon/Jirachi) but to each his own. The Empoleon set isn't anywhere you can find it, but its pretty fantastic. PM me if you really want it, it plays similarly to Metagross leads.

SpecsLati does, however, achieve great synergy with Infernape, offensively and defensively (although all Ape will take defensively is Scizor's Bullet Punch or an Ice Beam). It pounds things hard, and it does it well. You may want Timid, however.

I really don't see what Bliss adds to your team. Latias can do her special walling most of the time; Bliss is really a liability. I'd recommend... Gengar @ Life Orb, Timid, 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP, Shadow Ball/Focus Blast/HP Fire/Substitute. It's a fantastic lure for both Ttar and Scizor, Latias' twin banes. Basically, come in and Sub while they switch and while you laugh at their gullibility. Then hammer them with the appropriate x4 attack. That's not Substitute's only use either- I've used this Gengar to great effect under a multitude of circumstances. It's a great lure and can really benefit you here, I think.

Scizor is Scizor is #1 is pretty godly. That's about it.

I've never really used Vappy, although Wishpassing seems to be standard. I'd just recommend trying out HP Electric vs. Ice Beam vs. Toxic to see how they stack up.

Now for Rotom. If you enjoy your current use, that's fine. But with Gengar added over Bliss, Rotom may prove to be unnecessary. If you decide so, I'd recommend making Meta/Empoleon/Jirachi your lead and moving Infernape into this spot as a wallbreaker.

Hope this helps.
 
I've been using anti-lead ape for a while and he works as long as you have have the right poke to go to against the few leads he can't beat. Grass Knot is a must for pert but it surprisingly fails to OHKO without life orb or expert belt. Same goes for close combat failing to OHKO heatran. He is still usuable but I usually prefer to use the slot for something that provides better coverage. I'll tell you now- calm mind blissey sucks. It never gets a chance to set up in a meta filled with physical attackers. Your reasoning made no sense to me because wishbliss can deal with switch-ins by using toxic/t-wave and scouting for choice items with protect. The standard blissey can always run unusual coverage moves such as grass knot(with proper EV investment) and hp ground and the like in order to hit common switch-ins. I don't see very many reasons your running each member so if you could, please add more descriptions. GL
