So this is my first OU team that I've made and so far it has done pretty well. My record is 7-5 and while I find that is okay for my first competitive team I would like to do a lot better. So here is my line up
Bronzong@Occa Berry
Levitate Ability
EVs: 252 HP/166 Def/92 SpD
Moveset:
Reflect
Safeguard
Stealth Rock
Explosion
Role: Bronzong is my screen/lead he starts off with Stealth Rock unless paired against Taunters. From there he either gets switched out or goes for a Reflect. I feel Bronzong is my biggest weakness on this team as he is slow to set up Stealth Rock and with only Explosion as an attack can be easily switched or be forced to explode by a Taunter. I would like to replace him with a faster lead preferably Aerodactyl
Blissey@Leftovers
Natural Cure Ability
EVs: 252 Def/252 SpD
Moveset:
Wish
Protect
Thunder Wave
Seismic Toss
Role: Standard WishBliss
Mamoswine@Life Orb
Snow Cloak Ability
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe
Moveset:
Ice Shard
Ice Fang
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Role: Mamoswine is here to take out Flying and Dragons with priority Ice Shard, specifically SpecsMence who can easily be OHKO'd. A STAB Earthquake is really nice as well as Stone Edge for Fire coverage. Generally Mamoswine can get a kill off when switched in at the right time. I like Mamoswine and wouldn't want to switch him out but I would take him out if needed.
Scizor@Life Orb
Technician Ability
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe
Moveset:
Superpower
Bullet Punch
Swords Dance
Pursuit
Role: Good for a STAB Bullet Punch especially when Super Effective. Generally I try to force out a switch with Scizor and then either Swords Dance or Pursuit for extra damage. Scizor is basically there for finishing but after a dance or 2 can become very deadly with Bullet Punch.
Kingdra@Choice Scarf
Sniper Ability
EVs: 126 Atk/126 SpA/252 Spe
Moveset:
Hydro Pump
Waterfall
Draco Meteor
Outrage
Role: Mixed Sweeper useful against an ever present fire weakness in the team. Choice Scarf allows to outspeed most pokemon utilizing Waterfall's flinch effect. It also allows for swift kills.
Infernape@Life Orb
Blaze Ability
EVs: 64 Atk/252 SpA/192 Spe
Moveset:
Nasty Plot
Flamethrower
Vacuum Wave
Grass Knot
Role: NastyPlot MixApe with Grass Knot to take out Bulky Waters. The problem I have is that he is the only one capable of taking out Waters and more specifically Swampert. But his typing allows for a weakness to water meaning he can only achieve this if he is faster. Secondly I don't really like Infernape all together but I don't know off many other Fire Types in OU. I seriously need an evaluation on Infernape's moveset and suggestions would be appreciated.

So this is my OU team. I think it's okay aside from Bronzong and my dislike of Infernape but I just need to get opinions on others and suggestions as far as movesets and possibly replacements for Bronzong. Thank you for taking the time to read this :)
