First 5th gen team so I'm just going to get started.

@ lum berry
Clear body
Adamant nature
252 atk 252 hp 6 spd
- Stealth rock
- Bullet punch
- Earthquake
- Explosion

Meta gets the game rolling with an almost guaranteed SR. He can deal with a plethora of other leads too with his other moves. EVs for strength and bulk. SR for hazard. BP for priority. EQ for coverage. Explosion for huge damage.

@ Life orb
Speed boost
Rash nature
252 spa 60 atk 196 spd
- Fire blast
- Stone edge
- Hidden power (electric)
- Hi jump kick

Blaziken is used to deal with my garish ice weakness. Mixken is used to hit a lot of pokes for SE too. He's a coverage poke mainly but I can get a sweep with him sometimes. FB for STAB. SE for coverage. HP for fliers. Hi jump kick for secondary STAB.

@ Yache berry
Sand veil
Jolly nature
252 atk 252 spd 6 hp
- Earthquake
- Fire fang
- Dragon claw
- Swords dance

Garchomp is a god. With SD and his 102 speed he rapes teams. I'm considering switching sand veil to rough skin because there isn't as many sandstorm teams as I thought there would be. EQ for STAB. Fire fang for coverage. Dragon claw for STAB. SD for stat booster.

Ononokusu @ Life orb
Mold breaker
Jolly nature
252 atk 252 spd 6 hp
- Earthquake
- Dragon claw
- Rock slide
- Dragon dance

Couldn't find sprite sorry. Ono is chomps dancing partner. The two work together so well. Ono comes out early killing several and then chomp cleans up. EQ for coverage and hits everything with Mold breaker. Dragon claw for STAB. Rock slide for fliers. DD for stat booster.

@ Life orb
Pressure
Timid nature
252 spA 252 spd 6 hp
- Psychic
- Shadow ball
- Thunderbolt
- Ice beam

Deoxys is god. He's faster than most scarfers and can hit most for SE. What chomp can't kill he does. I'd like to fit U-turn on here but I don't know what to drop. Psychic for STAB. SB for coverage. Tbolt for coverage. IB for coverage.

Sazandora @ Choice scarf
Levitate
Timid nature
252 spA 252 spd 6 atk
- Fire blast
- Draco meteor
- Dark pulse
- U-turn

Saza hits like a truck. He's a great scarfer but doesn't fit the best in my team that has 2 ice weaknesses already. He works well with Deoxys. They cover a lot of eachothers weaknesses. FB for coverage. DM for huge STAB. Dark pulse for STAB. U-turn for scouting.


Well that's it. Please rate and comment.

Liable to change:
Metagross
Blaziken
Sazandora
 
Kingdra alone sweeps your whole team with Dragon Pulse in the rain. Latios will also give you trouble unless you surprise it with Sazy. Three dragons is overkill as even with Yache Berry Ice Shard will wreck you. Donphan and Mamoswine will give you huge problems to and you have no defensive pivot if you're sacrificing Metagross to Explosion, which you shouldn't, considering it's only half as strong as before. HP Electric is pointless on Blaziken since HJK with STAB hits everything harder bar Gyarados, Burungeru and Tentacruel.
 
3 weaknesses to a common type like ice is to many one of your dragons at least. No hp electric on blaziken you say it is for flyers but thats what stone edge hits. Replace it with swords dance, protect or claw sharpen (the accuracy boost is nice). When metagross and blaziken die weavile dominates your entire team. Overall i would say either change blaziken a lot or take it out. Surf over dark pulse on sazandora for good neutral coverage and hitting heatran in particular. I would suggest a water type in place of one of your dragons. Probably ononokusu as he really wants magnezone as a teammate. I think gyarados would fill ononokusu's spot well.
