After nine months, I get back into Pokemon

Juuka

Hariyama (M) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 84 HP/252 Atk/172 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
- Fake Out
- Facade

Nice lead, hits hard and beats slow teams.

Deoxys-e @ Expert Belt
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 160 Atk/96 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Psycho Boost
- Superpower
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

Revenge killer really, it kills a crapload of Pokemon in many battles.

Heatran (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 40 HP/216 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Earth Power
- Dragon Pulse
- Explosion

I love Heatran; it is one of my favorite Pokemon. However, I don't think it is performing as well as it should.

Salamence (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 120 Atk/136 Spd/252 SAtk
Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Brick Break
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower
- Roost

Mixed Salamence is my favorite variant, as it doesn't have to worry about switching from walls aside from Cresselia.

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 72 HP/252 Atk/184 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall

Replaced Tentacruel.

Togekiss (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 180 HP/104 Spd/96 SAtk/120 SDef
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Wish
- Aura Sphere
- Air Slash

Awesome Pokemon, takes hits and easy to set up.

This team as been doing pretty well but I lose occasionally. It probably needs some tweaks as I'm incredibly rusty. This team is incredibly fast as there are no walls- the closest thing is Tentacruel. I have decent prediction skills so it can switch in Deoxys-e occasionally to start sweeping. I'm not worrying too much about Dragon Dance as Deoxys can finish those Pokemon (Dragons with Ice Beam, Tyranitar with SuperPower).
 
I dont see why wouldn't go all out even more offense with Gyarados over Tentacruel, who can still function as a healthy Infernape switch in. More importantly, it adds an additional Poke who can switch into Heracross and Lucario, so you have the whole back and forth Intimidation thing going on, otherwise they'd be plenty of trouble.

I don't see how Togekiss can come in handy, but atm I'm not into thinking what can fit better so I'll just say Wish over Roost for now to see how that turns out. You might need that extra 50% for everyone else here and there.
 
Alright, I replaced Tentacruel with Gyarados. I considered Gyarados at first, but I thought the extra rock weakness would be annoying. Is Gyarados better with Bite or Earthquake?

Gyarados (M) @ Nothing
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 72 HP/252 Atk/184 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Bite
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall
 
You forget Leftovers. Anyways, with plenty of Celebi detractors, Bite isn't necessary, hell Taunt could go there, but Earthquake is fine.

But anyways, if you're worried about Rock types, I wouldn't be. For one thing, Tyranitar doesn't have shit on this team. Who is it coming in on? Hariyama? Deoxys-E? Salamence? Gyarados? Togekiss? Not likely.

However, if that problem presides, you could always go with the good ol Garchomp in the last spot.
