First OU Team. Rate harshly please!

Well I don't know how to do all those fancy pictures and crap so I'm just going to skip all of that and get into the details.

My six are Celebi, Jirachi, Scizor, Latias, Heatran and Vapereon. I basically just picked them up as I looked through my possible choices. This team was built by just looking at each other's weaknesses and resistances and then picking out moves that would provide maximum coverage. So basically, almost all the attacking moves are different types.

Lead - Celebi
EV's: 76 HP / 252 SpA / 180 Spe
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Modest
Item: Occa Berry
Moveset:

Stealth Rock
Leaf Storm
Earth Power
U-Turn

Celebi lead works very well for this team. This is pretty much the standard celebi lead from smogon. With base everything of 100, Celebi can take pretty any moves that normal leads have in OU. Paired with Occa Berry, Celebi can possibly set up a stealth rock and U-Turn out with barely a stratch. Depending on the opposing lead, I either use leaf storm or earth power to try and 2HKO it. If it is something that would taunt me, I usually just U-Turn out. Despite having stealth rock, I rarely use it at the very beginning of the game because of the many teams out there that have stealth rock resistances and spinners that make SR useless. Unless I scout a couple pokemon that don't have much of a resistance to SR, I don't really use it unless I have an extra turn.

Mixed Sweeper - Jirachi
EV's: 8 HP / 124 Atk / 124 SpA / 252 Speed
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Lonely
Item: Choice Scarf
Moveset:

Ironhead
ThunderPunch
Psychic
Energyball

Jirachi works wonders with a choice scarf and such a unpredictable moveset. I basically pulled these moves out of its many choices to fit the needs of my team. I needed psychic just in case a poison type like weezing came along. Thunderpunch is for those annoying gyarados and other water types. Ironhead for flinchhax and energyball for swampert. Basically an awesome sweeper that I use.

SD Sweeper - Scizor
EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
Item: Life Orb
Moveset:
Bullet Punch
Brick Break
Roost
Swords Dance

The standard SD Scizor. Scizor with swords dance and such a strong priorty move makes scizor nearly unbeatable. Even if the opposing pokemon is resistant to steel, BP can still make a big dent with SD and LO. I chose Brick Break over Superpower since it was the obvious choice to do. With SD, Brickbreak is aalready strong enough to OHKO many things. ANd the atk and def loss from superpower is bad. Roost is obviously for longer life span from recoil damage from LO and the damage taken when using SD.

Special Sweeper - Latias
EV's: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
Item: Expert Belt
Moveset:

Dragon Pulse
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball
Surf

This is kinda an original Latias. Little thing were taken from here and there. I decided not to use a trick Latias because that is really predictable and the opponent might switch into a pokemon with a choice item or one that doesn't mind a choice item making one turn wasted. With expert belt and Latias' high speed, it can OHKO any dragon slower than it and Gengar. It can also 2HKO if not OHKO all fire types with surf. This Latias doesn't have recover because it makes my team lose momentum and I don't really think it needs it considering its high speed and decent coverage to basically OHKO most that is in its way. If it is resisted, I can usually switch out to something that can be supereffective on opponent.

Special Sweeper 2 - Heatran
EV's: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Timid
Item: Choice Scarf
Moveset:

Flamethower
Earth Power
Dark Pulse
Explosion

This is my 2nd special sweeper of this team. This is basically the standard scarf heatran with a little twist. Flamethrower is obviously for stab and I picked it over fire blast because I prefer accuracy. Earth Power is for coverage. Dark Pulse is for the annoying psychic types that I will easily kill with scarf that will usually go before them. And explosion is just kill whatever is in its way when switched out and it only has little HP left.

Wall/Support - Vapereon
EV's: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 Spe
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Bold
Item: Leftoveres
Moveset:

Wish
Protect
Surf
HP Electric

The basic wish support Vapereon. I've always hated Gyarados. The majority of my losses are all because of the annoying DD Gyarados. Now I have an efficient way of killing it without risking my Jirachi and its thunderpunch. HP Electric will get rid of an offensive Gyarados in 2 turns. It will kill a bulky one with 3 hits which is pretty decent. Protect is to go against bounce Gyarados and stone edge wouldn't do much to Vapereon. Wish support is important to this team because it is pretty much the only way to recover health since I have no recovery moves in the rest of my team whatsoever.

Anyways, RMT please. I know there are probably many adjustments to be made but that's the exact reason why I posted this. Rate harshly please!
