An OU RMT with 1 UU pokemon. Surprising? I guessed not.

Team at a glance:

In-depth:

The Lead

Infernape @Focus Sash
64 Atk/192 Speed/252 SpAtk, Naive Nature
-Close Combat
-Overheat
-Fake Out
-Stealth Rock

Pretty standard Infernape lead. Fake Out, set up rocks, and potentially dent their pokemon. After I use fake out, my opponent usually sets up their own rocks as well, or attacks. I either switch out, or if they switched out before rocks, then I can use either of my STAB moves. The reason I picked Overheat over Fire Blast is because I will usually be switching out after using it.

The Broken Physical Sweeper

Scizor @Choice Band, Adamant nature
248 HP/252 Atk/8 Speed
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower
-Pursuit
-U-turn

As everyone has said, Technician+STAB+priority+CB=win. I lurve this guy, he dents absolutely everything. I might replace U-turn with X-Scissor though. Pursuit saves my ass as well.

The Calm Minder

Latias @Life orb, Timid Nature
4 HP/252 SpAtk/252 Speed
-Calm Mind
-Dragon pulse
-Surf
-Recover

This thing gets powerful after a CM. Dragon pulse is main STAB, Surf is nice, and recover is for healing. Pretty standard.

The Essential Ghost

Rotom-H @Leftovers, Bold Nature
252 HP/168 Def/88 Speed
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow ball
-Overheat
-Will-O-Wisp

This is the best Scizor counter IMO, and usually when I switch in on it I use Will-O-Wisp to burn the incoming switch, or Scizor itself. Then, I attack or switch depending on what my opponent does.

The Dragon Dancer

Gyarados @Life Orb, Adamant Nature
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Waterfall
-Ice Fang

Another Physical sweeper, but this time not being restricted by Choice Band. I switch in on a water type/something that this resists, dragon dance, and away we go.

And last but not least,
The Counter

Porygon2 @Leftovers, Bold Nature.
252 HP/216 Def/40 Speed
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder wave/Toxic
-Ice Beam
-Recover

I love this thing and it's ability to switch in to so many things and status it.
Period.

First of all, you should never consider ever replacing U-Turn on that CBScizor. U-Turn is a major part of the set's viability and it loses all of it's scouting potential.

I don't see the purpose of this team, no offense, as it looks like a bunch of random stuff all jumbled up together.

You may have a Blissey problem lategame, as Gyarados suffers from LO recoil and SR damage, and Scizor is constantly switching in and out, taking attacks and SR damage. That would prove to be extremely dangerous because Infernape should be gone by this point because it is meant to be a lead. Blissey can wall all three of Rotom, Latias and Porygon2.

While it may seem that it's a lot of stuff jumbled together, I tried to make this team knowing that I could 90 percent of the time switch in on something and make it switch out or KO it.

As for the Blissey thing, that hasn't happened to me yet fortunately, as a lot of people I face either send their Blissey out too early or I usually have Scizor or Gyarados still alive and not at dangerous health.
I might switch some stuff up, though.

Edit: I just read the RMT rules again and this exactly isn't what teams are supposed to be. I'm dumb. haha.
I like this team though. It seems to work.
