sorry for being dead for a while I was busy with other stuff but I have a new team That I want to show you! It is pretty lethal when I needs to be Tell me what you think...
Building Process...
At first I was just making a team centered around a tanking Scrafty set. Scrafty has impressive defenses and was perfect for the Job of Tanking against the opposition with it's typing and Dark types are my Favorites Scrafty had quite power behind him...
Now that I had a Scrafty I wanted a Pokemon to draw out Psychic type threats but I also wanted a Special sweeper Gengar was my first thought Gengar's Poison typing was a good way to draw out those particular threats and he would do the trick with his great speed. I ran numbers through my head with the dfferent set ideas using Smogon's Sets as well as those from other sites.
I grew cautious of the Skarm-Bliss combination and I didn't want any complications especially with these two I had to find a Mix sweeper. Salamence has the versatility to be a mix sweeper as well as keep those dragons off me a beast to say the least.
The Possibility of Powerful Ice type moves filled me with worry I need to reduce the vulnerability of Ice even by just a small margin Latios was Ideal for that job He could also serve as a mix sweeper just like Salamence I could really see potential with the psychic dragon.
To hit a dragon I need to shield against them as well A steel type was needed to provide synergy with the mighty dragon I had on my team I thought Ferrothorn at first then Magnezone was my second thought but I needed this steel type to be a Physical sweeper between Scizor and Metagross I chose Metagross because they have a better defense than Scizor and I didn't want to fall victim to Volcarona in mid battle with a quad weakness.
With my sweepers chosen I needed a lead pokemon for them another source told me this would do well with a baton pass lead with that in mind I was thinking what would do the job well I thought Espeon due to all the entry hazards I have seen Ninjask had impressive moves at his disposal to be my baton Passer but I needed more survivability to last in the match as well as a way to start up a sweep with impunity Smeargle is by far a useful pokemon with as much access to moves as Mew itself.
With all my Pokemon chosen for the team I needed some thing to just annoy the Opposition as well as provide extra coverage for the team Togekiss is the upper echelon of the most annoying Pokemon Next to Jirachi and has a vast move pool with many different ideas I could use to annoy my opponents.
Having multiple issue with Breloom I needed to switch out Gengar for something else Mew could at least scare them with the risk of Synchronize and winding up with a sleeping Breloom before the Toxic orb could activate and Mew can outspeed Breloom by a fair margin as long as they don't carry Mach Punch the in their set which may be unlikely another reason for switching out Gengar is Mew is not as frail as Gengar is, I do keep Gengar just in case I am in need of something faster than Mew.

A Closer Look...
Adeleene (Smeargle) (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Spore
- Ingrain
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
My Smeargle Adeleene the lead and is pretty awesome when she needs to be her main purpose is to set up she can do pretty well and she somewhat out speed other smeargle that are out there. Spore puts the pokemon to sleep allowing the time necessary to set up once every thing is set I can go to baton pass to my next pokemon giving them survivability and a chance to setup and start sweeping the only threats though are scarfed opposition Roar users if they wake up after the spore and I was mid way setting up and Pranksters namely Whimsicott, Sableye, Tornadus and surprisingly Lv 1 Cottonee...
X.A.N.A (Metagross) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- ThunderPunch
My Metagross X.A.N.A is my Physical sweeper a basic agility set that out speeds Non swift swim Kingdra after one speed boost and other threats they can't cripple my Metagross if the sub is in effect and is immune to the threat of earthquake thanks to the Air Balloon and having a means to recover with the Ingrain baton passed over to him Meteor Mash takes out Terrakion only carrying swords dance and can out speed Scarfed Terrakion after two Agility boost Earthquake's sheer power takes out Chandelure and Volcarona that would appear. ThunderPunch take out Gyarados that would threaten Metagross sweep otherwise.
Ronarak (Latios) (M) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Dragon Dance
- Grass Knot
- Outrage
- Ice Beam
My Latios Ronarak is my mixed sweeper He comes out on the threat of the Skarmbliss combination Outrage after at least one boost will take out Blissey with one hit and two hit for Chansey but that a different story Ice Beam Hits Skarmory it won't do much but if I am lucky Skarmory will get frozen which could mean trouble for the bird an draw out the Blissey thinking it's a special only set and they won't expect a physical attack.
Pearl Jam (Mew) @ Life Orb
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Psyshock
- Aura Sphere
- Shadow Ball
This Mew will serve as my special sweeper though not as fast as Gengar can do pretty good and is capable of out speeding if they don't carry Mach Punch Mew Can set up with Nasty plot apart from Gengar start sweeping with impressive force after just one Nasty Plot Aura Sphere is for the threat of Ferrothorn shadow ball is for Psychic and Ghost pokemon like Victini and Jellicent. Psyshock is for the threat of a Special Tank that would come and wall the set with ease.
Gengar set...
Reena (Gengar) (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
This is the possible set I could use in the future because I still see use of the Ghost pokemon the Idea is a bit simliar to Mew to take out the defensive threats such as Ferrothorn and Jirachi Gengar is faster than Mew by a slight margin
Penelope (Scrafty) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Shed Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Payback
- Brick Break
- Rest
My Scrafty the star of the team and an impressive Tank it Can wall very easily against certain OU threats and as I have seen from tests She can Take a hit after at least two Bulk Ups Shell smash Cloyster can hardly put a dent in this defensive pokemon With shed skin it can shake of the Poison left by toxic spikes, Spores from Breloom, Thunder waves from Jirachi and Ferrothorn, Will-O-Wisp from Dusclops and Ninetales etc... Accompanied by Adeleene's Subs she can set up pretty well the only thing that could overwhelm her are the Unaware Quagsire which can use recover.
Original Scrafty set...
Penelope (Scrafty) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Shed Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Amnesia
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Dragon Tail
The idea to this set to shuffle and drain with amnesia it could set up and take hit from a Volcarona Bulk Up made her stronger against physical attackers Drain Punch drains the opponent and heal herself with each blow Dragon Tail is to stop faster foes from triying to set up like Dragonite or Haxorusthe added speed EV allows her to out speed similar sets as the Current set does but by a bigger margin
Angel (Togekiss) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Air Slash
- Flamethrower
- Roost
Finally my Togekiss Angel. Her purpose is to annoy if all else fails to assure my other team mates efforts weren't in vain Paralysis is all about coming in with the sub allow her to do this and annoy without a problem the first time around Flamethrower is a good choice in my opinion it will allow me to hit Ice types and it gets strong if I am met with a sun team it also frighten Ferrothorn and Forretress in to switching. Roost is the main means of recovering and staying in longer
Adeleene (Smeargle) (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Own Tempo

~SubPass Performance~
Adeleene to X.A.N.A
Once the sub and Ingrain is passed to X.A.N.A he can get at most 2 Agility before the Sub breaks if the move are Neutral or not very effective in damage.
Adeleene to Ronarak
To my test Ronarak is a tad frail and subs seems to break easily after a Neutral damage hit but If he comes in on predicted status moves he can and may be able set up and start sweeping.
Adeleene to Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam may be less frail than that of Reena but just like Ronarak coming in on status moves will allow you the chance for setting up and sweeping through the opposition.
Adeleene to Penelope
After TWO Bulk Ups the sub Takes at most three hits on Neutral Damage and one on Super Effective hits once the tank is set up there is almost no stoping this beast and she can even come in on entry hazards and regain all HP lost from it Toxic spikes doesn't even worry her.
Adeleene to Angel
Though I haven't done enough testing on it I could say Angel can take one hit on the special side but it could break from any neutral damage and start annoying the opposition with T-Waves and flinching but the burn chance of Flamethrower might change the odd by just a little bit in a battle
Import and test...
Thanks for your time and for observing my team give me some feedback as well as your Ideas of what i need to improve it or point out some corrections to my test results. Thanks again for checking this out!

Adeleene to Reena
though she is stronger than Pearl Jam she is a very frail and Subs easily break but coming in on status moves could giver her the chance to take out the likes of Ferrothorn and Jirachi but Reena is capable of setting up her own sub after Adeleene's break I wouldn't advise seeing this is a Life Orb set.
