Go with the pro's and rate this Team

Hey guys i've got a pretty good ou team here, but i think it could still be helped. This is for a pretty big match thats coming up and i'd like your help on this. Its got pokemon with high levels of bulk but also very frail sweepers. Some of the sets are less expected while some are quite obvious. So lets get to the team.
Azelf the not so typical lead

evs: 252 att 252 speed 4 hp
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature: Jolly
Attacks: U-Turn
Zen Headbutt
Explosion
Ice Punch

Description: This lead is meant to be a surprise lead, and is designed to either ohko (i.e leadnite with ice punch) or U-Turn the hell out of there and go straight to a counter to take the opponent out. After A pokemon has died azelf will be the pokemon of choice to go to and do the same again and again untill I think its a good idea to Explode.


Suicune with rest but no talk

Evs: 252 hp 252 def 4 sp def
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Attacks: Surf
Ice beam
Rest
Calm Mind

Description: This thing works great, it can come in on physical attacks and shrug them off like they are nothing. Best of all isthat after coming in on them it can set up on physcial sweepers such as weavile and after all theyre hard effort to bring you hp to red, your HP goes to 50 and you rest, laughing your head off while they start slitting their wrist. It works good with azelf since azelf can take a trick aimed at suicune. If you makke sure theyre counters are out of your way (such as Rotom) Suicune makes life a hell of a lot easier, THANK YOU SUICUNE

Monkey BUZNES
Infernape_by_pokemonfactory.jpg


Evs: 64 Atk 252 SpA 192 Spe
Nature: Jolly
Item: Life Orb
Attacks: Fire Blast
Grass Knot
Close Combat
Hidden Power [ice]

Description: This thing is mainly used as my anti-skarmbliss, and it does a good job. It also does a good job at holding the team together as it stops many of this teams counters.

Stall Break Plox
gliscor.png


Evs: 252hp 40def 216 speed
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Jolly
Attacks: Earthquake
Toxic
Roost
Stealth Rock

Description: Basically this is my pokemon that stops big sweepers in their tracks (especially lucario). I love it because of its abilit to take hits, not aswell as suicune but still. Its moves are bascizlly for the stall breaker just jumbled 1 or 2 moves to suit my team (mainly SR over taunt since i need SR support). You'll also see the purpose of toxic when the next pokemon comes.


Good Ol' ZAPDOS

Evs: 248hp 76spe 184spD
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Attacks: thunderBolt
Substitute
Toxic
Roost

Description: This and gliscor make my team like two teams in one, a toxic stall one and joined with the others an offensive one. i love seeing this thing outstallthe walls as they mercillesly try to hurt zapdos, but zapdos just keeps using substitute and roost as theyre health is getting drained by leech seed. The speed evs are there to outspeed adamant lucario


The OU Since 1995

Evs: 252 spatt 252 spe 4 def
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Attacks: Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Substitute
Hidden power (fire)

Description: With this thing, if you predict a switch well and use substitute it is always rewarding. Its a great feeling to see your opponent expecting shadow ball but then see you use substitute as scizor comes out, then hp fire at will. I figured it would fit well with the team and so far it has been, but please leave an opinion if I should change one of these moves.


Please tell me what could be done to this team, that would be much appreciated,

[CHANGED]Timid Scarf latias has replaced sub roost dos for mence gyara and latias counters
This is my gyara/mence counter it thunder wave them then goes to something that revenge kills them
Gliscor HAS TAUNT NOW over stealth rock
Infernape is now offfensively based mixape to get the guarranteed ohko on blissey
This team tends to be Swampert weak!
 
A heal beller might make using rest on suicune productive
over who? i dont really know maybe offensive togekiss w/ heal bell> gengar
itll help make stalling with zapdos and gliscor easier
 
yea thanks that sounds like a good idea since status rlly cripples gliscor and zapdos, but i think i'd need a spinner 4 2 flying types
 
Gliscor is the stall breaker because, and only because, of Taunt. With that, Roost, and a utility move, he can beat almost every stall opponent. Toxic means nothing to RestTalkers so prevalent on stall teams. Put Taunt over Toxic if you want to claim to break stall. Without Recover, Rest, Roar, and entry hazards, stall is nothing. Use Taunt.
 
Yea ok thanks, but I think I might want to put toxic over stealth rocks because i've found that in many situations when testing this team that toxic wouldve helped me in many situations, so i think i'll just have to get another poke with sr, I just dont know what to replace :S.
 
You have quite a few weaknesses there. For starters, you are very gyara weak. That thing can set up on ape or a sleeping suicune and wreak havak on your team. You will be swept as long as azelf is dead.

Your resistances are also lacking. Did you know that you have no dragon resist, no ghost resist and no rock resist? Your only dark resist is ape too, and that thing's not gonna last long taking continuous CB crunches from T-tar. Given these weaknesses, you will have a very hard time taking on gengar, CB tar and mixmence.

Unfortunately, there isn't one single pokemon that can deal with all your problems effectively. The remedy to your situation must therefore come in 2 parts. I will start by removing azelf and zapdos/gliscor. I don't like specialist anti-leads that don't set up rocks themselves. It's not like you carry taunt anyways so their rocks will probably come down anyways.Gliscor is a good pokemon but it really doesn't give you any advantages. You have luke covered well with zapdos anyways so it's not like you need any help with that.

I would replace them with choice scarf flygon with thunderpunch (to deal with gyara and be your rock resist) along with a scarfed heatran with SR (to deal with crunch, gengar and random draco meteors etc).

Good luck! Hope I helped. I'm feeling horribly sleepy, so pardon me if I offered you some retarded advice :D
 
Gyrados, Latias, and DD mence can give you serious problems.

Heatran and Flygon can remedy this as the above poster said. Consider Scizor as well.

Srry for the short rate, but I gotta change classes.
 
ok thank u so i'll put in heatran and scizor to counter these then, counter gyara (hp elec on heatran) bp mence and heatran + scizro counter mence

Or wait better yet i'll replace sub roost dos with timid scarf latias so they wont be a problem :]
