XY OU Balanced Based on Slowbro

Hi I recently made this team and it has such good synergy so far and wanted to get opinions on it, it's based on Calm Mind Mega Slowbro.

Slowbro @Slowbronite
Ability: Regenerator
-Scald
-Fire Blast
-Calm Mind
-Slack Off
252 HP/100 Def/156 SpA Modest (+SpA -Atk)

This is the star of the show it walls so many things and it's actually really powerful (sometimes I sweep without using CM), Fire Blast OHKOs standard utility Ferrothorn after Mega and Scald gives me STAB and burn chance, since it's so bulky on the defense side Calm Mind is an obvious choice for special defense and to make its attacks stronger. This is basically my sweeper and wall for everything (Not even Bisharp stands a chance)

Ferrothorn Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
-Leech Seed
-Protect
-Thunder Wave
-Power Whip
252 HP/172 Atk/84 Def Brave (+Atk -Spe)

I decided to leave rocks to another mon and use the Tank set, it helps paralyze things that could be problematic like Greninja or Metagross and also provides coverage on things like Rotom W. This is a defensive mon used mainly for coverage and para support. Power Whip helps me take on Rotom W and Leech Seed/Protect is a good way to stall things like Jirachi

Landorus-T Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
-Earthquake
-U-Turn
-Knock Off
-Stealth Rocks
248 HP/240 Def/8 SpD/ 12 Spe Impish (+Def -SpA)

Landorus provides the Rocks as well as a response (kinda) to things like Mega Metagross or Fire Blast Mega TTar and is all around a good Pokemon. U-Turn keeps the momentum and Knock Off is useful to take away scarfs and leftovers and such.

Latios Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
-Draco Meteor
-Surf
-Psyshock
-Defog
252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe Timid (+Spe -Atk)

Ok so the team so far looks a bit stally or bulky offense and Latios gives the team offensive character as well as Defog to take away Rocks and my biggest concern for Slowbro Toxic Spikes, Surf helps 3HKO Heatran and Psyshock helps against special walls, Draco Meteor is STAB and really strong. Most Fairies are handled by Ferrothorn and Slowbro and Landorus handles Heatrans and TTars so it has a lot of offensive potential

Greninja Life Orb
Ability: Protean
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Gunk Shot
-Dark Pulse
252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe Timid (+Spe -Atk)

When I heard Greninja was one of the most used Pokemon I could not believe it but my God is it good. This provides even more offensive coverage and put pressure on other teams. I'm not sure Surf is my best move or Hydro Pump is the way to go. Gunk Shot is useful against things like Clefairy, Ice Beam keeps dragons and grass types in check and Dark Pulse deals with Gengar and other ghosts

Terrakion Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
-Close Combat
-Stone Edge
-X Scissor
-Earthquake
252 Atk/4 SpD/252 Spe Jolly (+Spe -SpD)

Finally, my scarfer and speed check. Also my most inmediate way to counter Blissey, DD Mega TTar with Ice Beam and Ferrothorn. Also lets me lure in Landorus T so free hit or Slack Off with Mega Slowbro. CC and Stone Edge are STAB and the rest are mainly filler moves (You could say X Scissor is a more reliable way to handle psychics like weakened Mew and Slowbro)

What do you think? So far I've been doing great with it, but I'm really low on the ladder.
Also feel free to use it if you like it I won't complain :)

Please read the RMT Rules before making a post.
You need a brief 3-4 sentences describing each of your pokemon.
If these rules are not followed, this post will be locked by a moderator.
Until then, I won't rate this team at my own decision.
Change it and I might Consider it.
 
Sparkl3y how about now?
Much better, now I'll rate n_n

First of all, you need to pick Ferrothorn as your rock setter since Landorus-T doesn't have the amazing defenses and access to hazards that Ferrothorn has. I would also replace Power Whip with Gyro Ball and make sure to have 0 Spe IVs with a Sassy Nature. Use Stealth Rock over Thunder Wave.

Next is Greninja, which you need to have an EV Spread of 40 Atk / 216 Sp Atk / 252 Spe with a Naive Nature. This guarantees an OHKO on Azumarill who is a rather big threat to your team if played right.

I would replace Fire Blast on Slowbro to Psyshock.

If you change Landorus-Therian, I would change it to Unaware Clefable since it can help you with opposing MSlowbros and MSableye.

Just a quick note, but I would separate each Move explanation with Periods so this post doesn't get locked. Also make sure to make all of your Special based Pokemon with 0 IVs.

Hope it helps. n_n
