Afrothunder strikes again! OU TrickRoom RMT

Hello Smogon! I've worked on this trick room team since yesterday and fought a few friends of mine (OU competitively). I want to get some advice on it, I am sure it can't be perfect. Be as rough as you can ^^.

LEAD: Bronzong @ macho brace
Ability : Levitate
Nature : Brave
Ev : 252 HP / 252 atk/ 6 def
-Trick room
-Gyro ball
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock

This is my team's lead and first trick roomer. I start with trick room and use stealth rock when the enemy pokemon doesn't have a fire attack. Bronzong is very valuable in my team so I used full hp ev's to keep it alive; its also used as a mixed wall when Jellicent and Reuniclus can't switch into dark or ghost attacks.

Reuniclus @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Sp.Atk
Nature: Quiet
-Trick Room
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast

My second trick roomer and a special tank. I set up trick room usually when I switch in from Emboar to psychic and its other weaknesses. Life orb boosts my attack along with the 252 satk evs.

Jellicent @ Leftovers
nature: relaxed
Ability: Water Absorb
252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 SpA
-Scald
-Will-O-Wisp
-Recover
-trick room

My last trick roomer and my defense wall. Leftovers and recover is used to survive incase my other 2 trick roomers fall. Scald and will-o-wisp is there for double the chance of causing a burn. This is my second most reliable trick roomer since it can take hits while it sets up trick room instead of having coverage.

Emboar @ Expert Belt
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 HP / 128 atk/ 128 satk
Nature: Brave
- Flare Blitz
- Hammer Arm
- hp ice
- Wild Charge

This is my first trick room mixed sweeper. It is meant to deal as much damage as possible before it goes down. Emboar switches in on fire, grass, and dark attacks which harm some of my team members, so the hp ev's help it survive more. I recently changed the ev's and flamethrower into flare blitz to give it a stronger stab move. Changed evs and rock head to hp ice for coverage.

Eelektross @ life orb
Ability: levitate
nature: Quiet
evs: 252 HP / 252 sp atk/ 4 atk
-Thunderbolt
-Flamethrower
-Dragon Tail
-Grass Knot

This is my second mixed sweeper. It switches in on electric attacks targeted at Jellicent and ground attacks aiming at Emboar. Dragon Tail is there for my lack of an ice move for dragons on my team and to help rack up stealth rock damage. It seems like a good alternative since flamethrower hits grass types effective too.

(AFROTHUNDER) Bouffalant @ Choice Band
Ability: Reckless
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
-Head Charge
-Wild Charge
-Earthquake
-Megahorn
This is the last sweeper on my team and the most powerful imo. It goes in after most of the enemies pokemon have been weakened and steel types are gone. This is the reason both of my other 2 sweepers have coverage to take done steel types. Reckless along with full attack ev's and choice band to hit as hard as I can. His one weakness is covered by Jellicent and to an extent Reuniclus and he covers their ghost weakness.

I know that just covering a weakness doesn't mean its a good counter against a pokemon. But since my pokemon are bulky they have a good chance to live and attack back when I predict correctly. I've never made a trick room team but I do know I have 5 turns to hit as hard as I can; so if there's any way to improve that please let me know!

I do not have a threat list but if I need one I'll edit it in ^^.

Edits in bold.
 
I'm a bad rater so I can't help much but... You do know that item clause isn't the norm, so feel free to use Leftovers/Life Orb on some of your Pokes. :o

lol your name seems very familiar =D am I going to be sued? And you are right but I thought shell bell would be better because of the damage Eelektross is suppose to cause. But thanks for the advice I might change it to another leftover!
 
why the block and macho brace on bronzong?

Macho brace is used to make Bronzong slower and increase the base power of gyro ball, 150 bp i believe. The move block is like mean look, it is used to keep a pokemon in while i switch to something else.
 
hmmm thts an interesting and unique set and should work well good job i hav nothing else to fix/ask :D
 
Hi there !

You'v got some nice base for a succesful trick room team , just some tips ..

Remove block on bronzong , it's absolutly useless , baloon tran , rotom , skarmory and plenty of things that switch on bronzong don't give a damn about being trapped , I suggest to put Stealth rock your team lacks hazards which is really important for trick room teams .

Next .. don't put head smash on emboar , it's absolutly useless , you already hit hard everything with boosted flare blitz , put some ev in spatk and change it to hidden power ice , for gliscor and dragons ..

shell bell on elektross ?? put a life orb ^^

Bouffalant seems nice :d .

nice team !

nice team !

Ok thank you the stealth rock makes sense lol. ill add those changes now any suggestions on what the evs for Emboar should be then?
 
I was recently testing out Eelektross with dragon tail instead of dragon claw and it brought up a question. Are the ev's for Eelektross being wasted? Right now I have it with 252 attack/252 special attack/ and 4 hp evs but is one move(dragon tail) enough for me to go with 252 attack evs?

Would the attack ev's be better spent in hp to make it more bulky or should i split them and make the ev's for Eelektross 128 hp/ 128 attack/ 252 special attack?

Dude, first of all, i gotta say, this team is INCREDIBLY FUN to play with.

And about the EVs, I'm usin 252 HP / 252 sp atk, 4 atk...I barely use dragon tail... i'd rather having more bulk then spending EV's on a single base 60 atk

first of all, you have no idea how happy that makes me feel =D! I'm glad you like it I like it too^^. As for the ev's I think you are right those evs are better I'll change it now.
