Sceptile @ petaya berry Unburden
modest 252spd 4def 252satk
substitute, giga drain, focus blast, HP Fire
Thanks a load Chris P. Bacon.This sceptile is alot better than the last one. As you said sub until berry+unburden activates and and giga drain damage off, HP fire to kill steels. Focus blast can easily kill a non sashed Zoaroark.

Nattorei @ shed shell
iron thorns
relaxed
evs: 252 hp 252 sdef 4 def
spikes, leech seed, gyro ball, power whip
Nattorei is probably the most used pokemon in BW. And for good reason. He will almost always set up 2 layers of spikes due to his sky high defenses. Power whip and Gyro ball are his attacking moves so he isnt taunt bait. Gyro ball has base 120 because of his abysmal speed and power whip is also there for another STAB. Leech seed allows him to live longer and to slowly wear down opponents. This guy is a great check to rain teams. The evs are so he can take FOREVER to take down.

Heatran @ balloon
timid
evs: 252 spd 252 hp 4 satk
stealth rock, lava plume, hidden power grass, earth power
This heatran sets up stealth rocks which i think is the best of all entry hazards. Lava plume is my prime attacking move because of 30% burn and STAB. Hidden power grass is for bulky waters and grounds that come in after the balloon has popped. And finally is earth power which is very handy because i can switch in on a shandera locked into shadow ball and KO it. The evs allow heatran to outspeed a majority of pokes namely roopushin and to take some hits.

Burungeru @ leftovers
water absorb
calm
evs: 252hp, 128sdef 128 def, 4 satk
boiling water, recover, hail, shadow ball
Burungeru helps with my fire and ice weaknesses and also adds some always welcomed resistances. Hail is in case there is some weather i dont want like sandstorm. Boiling water is to burn and do damage also while providing STAB. Shadow ball is to take out other ghosts and psychics. The evs let Burungeru last and spread burn.

Blaziken @ zoom lens speed boost
jolly
evs:252 spd, 252 atk, 4hp
blaze kick, shadow claw, hi jump kick, protect
To be truthful i just about cried when i heard that blaziken got speed boost. Blaze kick provides STAB while damaging things like forretress and nattorei. Shadow clawallows him to hit ghosts for super effective . Protect helps me net an extra speed boost to outspeed the foe. Hi jump kick is blazikens favorite STAB and allows me to hit many stealth rockers. The Evs help me to outspeed, hit hard, and sweep.

latias @ leftovers
levitate
evs:252 spd 128hp 128satk 4sdef
timid
psychic, dragon pulse, calm mind, recover
This is my Conkeldurr counter as Jaroda suggested. He calm minds until low health then heal off the damage. Psychic with 1 calm mind boost almost always kills Conkeldurr unless hes specially defensive. The evs help him outspeed other latios and dragons. The other evs increase his longevity. While the 128satk help him hit hard.


Thats my team appreciate rates and comments.
 
Don't have much time for a complete rate, but I think you should use a special attacking Sceptile since it has a higher base from that spectrum. Try this set

Sceptile @ Petaya Berry
Unburden
Modest
252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def

-Substitute
-Giga Drain/Energy Ball
-Focus Blast
-HP Fire/Dragon Pulse (not sure if this is legal w/dream world ability)

Use Sub until your at 25% and your berry + Unburden will activate. You can use a Timid nature if you wish, it'll allow you to sub up on a few more things like Starmie, Lati@s, ect., but with Modest Sceptile reaches 678 speed after Unburden, which is faster than anything you will ever see (Yes even Dory) so the boost in power willl be appreciated. Grass-Type move for STAB Giga Drain can heal you so you wont die from Sandstorm after a couple of turns, but Energy Ball could be used if you want more PP. Pick 2 out of the last 3 moves for coverage.
 
The teams you're sweeping with lead Sceptile must be horrible to not carry ANY priority moves or a Sandstreamer. Sceptile can not learn Dragon Pulse with Unburden since it isn't a 5th gen TM anymore. And Thunder Punch is an old Move Tutor move, also illegal with Speed Boost. Use HP Fire and Sword Dance respectivley.

Sceptile does not need max speed. A Modest set with no speed EVs outruns scarfed base 115 pokemon for Christ's sake. You don't need to outrun Excadrill/Dory because the Sand is going to kill you anyway. With HP and Giga Drain you can at least recover health back and be a decent threat. Use Bacon's set only run enough speed to outrun scarf 120 pokemon and put the rest in HP. It's your best bet as far as Unburden goes. Although personally I think it works better as a late game sweeper once you get rid of Steels and Fire types.

Also, have you even play tested this team? I doubt you have because you'd know Nattorei doesn't learn Toxic Spikes at all.

Also your team is run into the ground by Roopushin/Conkeldurr. You have nothing to take it out. It can Bulk Up all day against Nattorei and Burungeru and kill your entire team with Drain Punch and Stone Edge. And burning it will only make it stronger.
