The Legend killer:Infernape/ability:blaze
Nature:naive(spe+spd-) /Item:Life orb
Moves:
Nasty plot
Close combat
Fire blast
Grass knot
EVs:atk64/spa252/spe194

Infernape helps me to get rid of the most leads the most of the grass walls and some of the water walls. Nasty plot for boosting my special attacks.Close combat is for Blissey Heatren Tyranitar Snorlax and other special defenders.Fire blast is the main STAB attack it get rids of the most Grass types Steel types bug types like Celebi Scizor Metagross Bronzong jirachi if Metagross did not Kill them.Grass knot is for suicune Milotic and Slowbro And for Swampert.

The lead:Metagross/Clear body
Nature:Adamant(att+spa-) /item:occa berry
Moves:
Stealth rock
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Bullet punch
Evs:252HP/236atk/20def

Best choice against Azelf.
However It is the best lead in the game in my opinion. Occa berry helps against fire attacks stealth rock is for support.Meteor mash is it main STAB attack which KOes most of the rock types and ice types Like tyranitar Weavile Mamoswine .Earthquake is for those how resist it STAB attack and hurt Other Metagross and other steel types or electric types Like Heatren Magnezone Jirachi And Infernape.Bullet punch is for Hitting after an Azelf survive a meteor mash Or for Fast KOing Weavile.
Metagross VS Common leads:

373_salamence_1_m.png
MixMence:Salamance/Ability:Intimidate
Nature:Naive(spe+Spd-)/Item:Life orb
Moves:
Draco meteor
Earthquake
Outrage
Fire blast
EVs:16atk/240spa/spe252

Draco meteor helps to defensive walls or against Dragon Foes Like Other Salamances Dragonites Flygons And it OHKO's Most Pokemon in The OU Enviroment while outrage on the other hand helps against specialy defensive walls like Blissey Latias Milotic and others. Fireblast good against Skaymory defensive Metagross Bronzong Jirachi . Earthquake Gets rid of Specially defense Metagross or 2HKOs them and it also helps against Infernape carrying a HP ice Or Heatren Tyranitar Specially defensive Jirachi or Bronzong.
094_gengar_1_m.png
SS(special sweeper):Gengar/Ability:levitate
Nature:Timid(spe+att-)/item:life orb
Moves:
Shadow Ball
Focus blast
Thunderbolt
Protect
EVs:252spa/252spe/6def

Shadow ball helps against almost all the shadow type pokemon Like Other Gengar Mismagius And UnSpecially defense Dusknoir. Focus blast for who resist shadow ball or against rock and dark type for super effective Lucario Easily Will be KOed by it And a Heatren or a Tyranitar would Suffer from it.thunderbolt Really good against Def Suicune Skarymory Empoleon Def Milotic .Protect is for Scounting The Enemy's Team.
134_vaporeon_1_m.png
The Wall:Vaporeon/Ability:Water Absorb
Nature:bold(def+Att-)/Item:leftovers
Moves:
Surf
HP Electric
Protect
Wish
Surf Gives me a free STAB moves that is da best against NP Infernape And Others like Heatren Hippowdon Tyranitar Heatran and etc.HP Electric is for Other Vaporeons That Infernape Fails against them Gyarados Skarymory Empoleon is really weak to HP Electric too.Protect Gives Me free healing from Leftovers and Wish.Wish is for Supporting it team mates and it self of course.
242_blissey_1_f.png
The Special Defender:Blissey/Ability:Natural Cure
Nature:Calm(spd+att-)/Item:leftovers
Moves:
Wish
Protect
Fire Blast
Toxic
EVs:252HP/252Spd/6Def
The best against Special Attackers Toxic for Damage While. Wish for healing team mates and it heals it self thanks to protect also Protect helps to get extra healing.I prefer Fireblast on Sesimic toss Because Sesimic toss will hit 50% on Poison while Fire blast hits it 100% and good and good against steel type that resist Toxic.

Special thanks for (smogon.com) for giving me some ideas.
Note:Metagross is The lead
 
If you don't like the above suggestion for Infernape, I suggest you lead with Metagross. NastyPlot Mixape is typically not the strongest lead, but is still awesome to have.

Metagross looks pretty good. I like Bullet Punch more than Explosion because it gives first damage and gets STAB.

Salamence is good. The only thing is nature, but that is personal preference. Naive lowers Sp. Def and Hasty lowers Def. No change is needed, it's just what you prefer.

Apart from Azelf, Gengar is my favorite Special Sweeper. Change his nature to Timid(+Speed,-Atk). He doesn't need any attack at all, so you might as well slightly boost his defence by taking off Hasty nature. Thunderbolt is a better choice in my opinion. It has more accuracy but less power. Focus Blast already has lower accuracy than wanted and you don't want too many low accuracy moves. I don't like Destiny Bond because it doesn't always work. I have Energy Ball on mine but Grass Knot also works well. Another strong choice is Hidden Power Fire. Steel types are very common switch ins and HP Fire deals with the very nicely.

Celebi is anothre choice in stead of Tangrowth. Tangrowth has better defence and both powers which is an advantage, but Celebi is more costomizable. Again, it's all about personal preference.

Blissey looks good.

Overall your team looks pretty strong. I would change some of the stuff but other is just personal preference and is not necessary. Hope this helps!
 
*You are using two Pokemon to do the role of one (infernape and metagross to defeat leads and set up stealth rocks. Rather change infernape to the standard mixape lead.

*You can change metagross to the agility set to add more fire power to the team.

*Do what ChernobylOverseer said about blissey.

*Good luck
 
Are they any good you ask? Well, yes and no. First off, all lead Infernapes require one thing imo: Fake Out. Its a great move that can break the sashes of suicide leads, and is part of what an anti-lead does.

On Metagross, since its not your official lead, you may want to go Life Orb> Occa Berry. It will give Gross more fighting power. And if you need a definite Fire counter, you may want to consider Choice Scarf> Occa Berry instead. The Choice Scarf will allow you to strike first and severely damage/KO the opposing Fire Type with EQ.

To address Gengar, Thunderbolt>Thunder if no rain is present (Which there isnt). Use Thunderbolt. If you really need persuasion, Thunder (if it hits without rain) will do against a CroCune anywhere from 75.2% to 88.6% damage. Thunderbolt (which will always hit) will do 58.9% to 69.8%. It's a big difference, however if Thunder misses, the next turn a non-boosted CroCune's Surf will do 45.2% to 54% damage.

Tangrowth is just terribly outclassed in OU to begin with. I highly recommend a Defensive Celebi set, which looks a like this:

Celebi@Leftovers
Bold Nature(+Def,-Atk)
EV's: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spe
~ Leech Seed / Thunder Wave / Reflect
~ Grass Knot
~ Recover
~ Hidden Power Fire / Hidden Power Ice / Earth Power
Celebi can pretty much take and deal back more than Tangrowth. But preferences really, although as I said before Tangrowth is really outclassed in OU.

Nothing wrong with Blissey or Mence at all, however. They're your basic pokes.

Hope this helped you.
 
Hi.

Without needing an in depth analysis, I've noticed that the team looks seriously weak to MixApe: OHKOs Blissey, Celebi and Salamence, (Metagross if it's low than 65% of health), your own Infernape could be considerably harmed if it attacks the last, and Gengar is the only one that out-speeds it. Basically, Mixed Infernape wreaks havoc on this team and your best bet against it, is Gengar which cannot stand a Fire Blast/Flamethrower.
Before saying what do you need in order to fix that problem, I'm going to establish a comparison of necessities between Celebi and Blissey focused to the team obviously. The first (mainly) makes sure that Gyarados won't get in and attempt to sweep you, while the second is acting as a special sponge and the Wishpass member above all. But, none of the two does get rid of Infernape or at least scare it, so a Pokémon that can make use of Wish and cover DD Gyarados and MixApe is needed if the aim is not to change the whole team to make that possible; probably the best at this is Vaporeon, which can replace Celebi with no doubts:

134.png

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold nature.
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 Spe
Surf | HP Electric | Protect | Wish

The way in which you should play with Vaporeon is simple, bring it in once you need to take care of Gyarados and kill it off. Do the same when Infernape appears but be careful with this one, do not spam Surfs if it is a mixed variant, you would preferably want to Wish instead so that you make sure Vaporeon will be at good health most of the time.

At this point, the team doesn't seem like it needed more changes, but there is still something that can be improved, Blissey. The fact is that in a not so offensive team like this one, a wall and useless Pokémon within the offensive capacities as Blissey is, is not the best option for a last spot. What I mean is that there are more Pokemon that will work better on a team like yours, for example, Latias. A Calm Mind set is a promising suggestion to replace Blissey, I was thinking of using a set with Calm Mind - Dragon Pulse - Surf/HP Fire - Recover with a Timid nature (EVs: 128 HP / 128 SpA / 252 Spd) and Leftovers as the item. The idea behind Latias' suggestion (besides what I mentioned about Blissey) is to help Vaporeon on its task (Infernape, Gyarados) and the team in general as a powerful special sweeper. I listed HP Fire too because it deserves a mention if you find Scizor making Latias' sweep kind of impossible, but Surf is truly a superior option.
With Blissey gone, Jolteon and Rotom-A pose a problem for the team, but being realist, they can't threaten CM Latias, only Jolteon in 1v1 and no CMs on Latias could be a problem if it carries Shadow Ball / HP Ice.

From my point of view, the most important part of the team has been fixed and now I'll continue to underline some minor things such as Lum Berry on your LeadGross so you ensure its position once it faced Roserade, Smeargle and Breloom leads.
Also, on Gengar, if you're gonna use an electric move, Thunderbolt is the best option, Thunder doesn't offer you a reliable accuracy and having Focus Blast too is like depending too much on luck. You can even try out a set with Protect / Shadow Ball / Thunderbolt / Focus Blast in order to keep Tyranitar and Scizor aside (except ScarfTar) and hit them with the appropriate move. Going with that set means that this time Gengar will be capable of taking care of SD Lucario (with no Bullet Punch of course) without having to resort on Focus Blast's poor accuracy (HP Fire does scores a 97% of minimum damage to 4 HP LUcario, OHKO after SR).

Last but not least, use Naive instead of Hasty on Salamence so it can resist a +1 Extremespeed from Adamant Lucario 100% of the time (facturing on SR, 75%).

This is all. Feel free to ignore or try the changes out ;) gl.
 
Thank you Very much for your Adviace Setsuna I've added Vaporeon to my team About Metagross and the lum berry I need Occa Berry more So i Can beat Most of the common Leads.About Latias I Really need a Special Defender To Take Care of Jolteon and Rotom-A As You Mentioned Thats why im keeping Blissey And Your right Naive Nature is better For MixMence
 
Hey decent team you have here first of all though I recommend you change the gengars moveset into Shadow ball, protect, Focus blast, then HP Fire for Scizor that will come in most of the time against Gengar, the other thing is that I recommend you changing infernape as a sweeper then just putting Metagross as the lead because it just works better.

For Metagross you might want to change one of the movers into Explosion just take destroy stuff easier, probably take out EQ.

And something you might want to change is take out Fireblast since of the PP and unreliable accuracy into Flamethrower or S-Toss your choice.

The other last thing you might want to do is change Salamences Outrage into roost since that Salamence set is complete suicide, since you'll be stuck on outrage and then the other player can send out something to just revenge kill it that easy.

Good luck.
