Now since you saw my team here is what they do
251.png

Celebi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Leaf Storm
- Psychic
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Ok so My celebi is my starter and what a good starter it is. It can out run most of the leads that dont have a choice scarf. It can KO most of the starters if not then 2 KO the only ones it cant kill well or i shall say defeat well are ninjask,and steel pokemon like skarmory and bronzong other than that its a born leader. Leaf storm well to kill hipowdons(sorry dony know how to spell it) gyrados, t-tar and more. Psychic is for those pesky brelooms and for steel types mostly. Earth power for t-tar, infernape, scizor and more. Then hp ice is for gliscors zapdos salamence areo and more.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP/176 Spd/80 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
Ok so now my jirachi is one of my main pupils on this team. Once it has at least one cm its hard to stop. Its good with speed so i dont have to worry bout that and psychic and t-bolt are just for attacks that help me alot


487.png

Azelf @ Choice Band
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Explosion
I have to admit it but this azelf is a beast. His attack power is so unbealievable. With one explosion it can take out any pokemon w/o a crit. Zen headbutt also rules cuz it haxes so much with flinching its just awesome. Fire punch and ice punch are just for back ups.


442.png

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/86 Atk/80 Def/92 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Gyro Ball
- Hypnosis
- Explosion
Ok as you can see here bronzong is my screener. It has good defense and with reflect and light screen i usually switch into my jirachi and sweep if i have the chance.
I changed the screen bronzong to the standard one because i really couldnt get up both screens and bronzong would die right away and also i didnt have stealth rocks.



395.png

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk/192 Spd/64 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Close Combat
- Overheat
- Mach Punch
- Stone Edge
So i want all my pokemon to be psychic but i didnt know what else to put here because i need a another physical but psychics are more for special. So i just put a mix ape if you have another idea that is psychic or a better pysical that doesnt have to set up.



380.png

Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/116 Def/28 Spd/112 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Dragon Pulse
- Roar
- Thunder Wave
- Recover
Ok so my latias i needed a pokemon with roar that had good defense and latias is just the right one. I always keeped on loosing to batton pass teams or someone who sets up for a sweep so i came up with this latias. Specs cuz its very good in specail attack then i just added roar to it.
i Changed the specs to a supporter because it didnt really fit good with specs and roar.


So for my celebi its weakness is bug ghost fire and ice-Jirachi,Bronzong,Infernape
Jirachi Ground, fire-Bronzong,Latias,Azelf
Azelf Ghost Dark-Jirachi,Bronazong,Infernape
Bronzong Fire-Latias
Infernape Water Ground-Latias,Azelf,Bronzong
Latias Ice Dragon-Jirachi Bronzong

i hope i didnt miss anything
so there is my team i hope you can help it still needs some help to it thank you and please comment as much as you can

Obviously this team will have massive problems with Tyranitar, a CB crunch can 1-2hko every member of your team, not to mention that Latias, Azelf and Celebi (if TTar switches in after a leaf storm's sp.atk drop) are all pursuit bait. Jirachi can barely scratch it and Ape can only revenge kill.
Definitely consier adding a Machamp somewhere, I would probably replace Jirachi or Azelf. A sleep talk Champ would be helpful to this team providing an useful resistance to dark and a status absorber, while also giving you a good switch into Blissey, which may give you problems considering that neither Infernape nor Azelf can switch into her directly risking a paralysis (and thus becoming quite useless). So:

Machamp@leftovers
nature: adamant
trait: no guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
-dynamic punch
-stone edge
-rest
-sleep talk

Im suggesting stone edge mainly for Gyarados and because rock\fight give near perfect coverage, and stone edge will not miss with no guard.

Also, your team lacks stealth rock. Hypnosis has crappy accuracy, while SR is probably the most useful move in this metagame, so I suggest to replace hypnosis with SR on Bronzong.

About the lead: although your Celebi lead is quite original, I suggest you to give it trick over psychic, grass\ground\ice already gives perfect type coverage, and trick is just a great support move to have.

Oh, and just in case you decided to change Infernape's moveset, don't even think to remove mach punch because that will be your best hope to stop a SD Lucario sweep.

Good luck!
 
agreeing with machamp, he will really help with tyranitar sweeps on your team, however if you really want a psychic that much in all honesty you COULD have a gallade, the part fighting brings Dark attacks back to neutral and you would outrun non-DD Tar and OHKO with close combat. thisa would also keep the need for a physical attacker and a choiced gallade wouldn't be bad...

gallage @ choice band
ability: steadfast
EVs: 64 HP / 252 Atk / 192 Spe
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
- close combat
- psycho cut
- ice punch
- night slash (this over x-scissor which only really hits celebi and you've got infernape)

i'd love to see your theme stay all psychic but in all honesty machamp is better, if you want the satisfaction of a psychic team use gallade though but he really is outclassed.
 
Although I realize it's a theme team, Gallade is possibly the worst replacement for Azelf to counter TTar, just to make my point clearer, here's the calculation of an adamant max atk CB TTar on your Gallade: 107.51% - 126.28%. So, definitely no to Gallade, if you want another part psychic in that palce, which I really don't suggest you anyway, then use a defensive Metagross (the tank suggested in the analysis only takes 37.36% - 43.96% from the same CB crunch) or else switch in Bronzong (though it will ususally be 2hko'd by crunch anyway).
 
Machamp@Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
trait: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe

-Dynamic Punch
-Payback
-Rest
-Sleep talk

I prefer this set though, mainly because Payback can 2HKO opposing Latias and severely damages anything that does not resist it. Since you're using RestTalk, preferably try Life Orb, since any damage you take can be Rested off
 
Ok gallade i might use but t-tars are not a problem because my celebi can ko it with leaf storm and even with one dd one of my pokemon can kill it and i like psychic so i would more likely be using galade but if there is another set or physical psychic that does not have and choice items or that doesnt have to set up i would most likely appreciate it thank you
 
Celebi can't switch into TTar, and if you want be sure of revenge killing it, use Infernape. Gallade is possibly the worst replacement for Azelf because as I stated in my previous post it will be OHKOed by a cb crunch.
If you want to keep a psychic type in that spot, then use the impish Metagross suggested in the analysis.

Good luck.
 
Ok thanks Haunter, I will try that metagross you suggested. But i was actually thinking of Gallade for infernape not azelf, Im leaving azelf in, it helps me alot
 
looking at what haunter has posted with damage calcs against gallade I agree with him, i didn't reallise he would be OHKO'd all I knew is he could outrun and OHKO himself, so agreeing to stick away from gallade, sorry for the missleading comment.

I didn't think of metagross but if your considering replacing infernape you should replace with metagross > gallade, and you can still have powerful STAB priority on him in bullet punch which will make up for infernape's mach punch lost.

maybey having two choice banders might not be your style but i see a choice bullet punch on him cleaning up the scraps really well with this team. sorry for that pathetic gallade suggest :S
