I Rest In Peace; You Rest In Pieces [OU RMT]

Oh, ok. Wording was misleading.

From which set and which attack and does he have a boost?

Purely Special

Ok, cool, thank you for pointing out weaknesses that has already been said. Now, as a rater, can you think of any way I can handle these threats without gaining very many others as well as changing the team as little as possible?

I am not a good rater. However, Latias looks overloaded -
A dead Latias can mean a 6-0ed team. I once had this problem with BulkyGyara. However, your Pursuit-weak ScarfTias is a even worse "pin" then my wish-supported BulkyGyara. The best way to fix overloadings is to add support. However, I have no idea how to do so without breaking everything up - I don't know your team sufficiently.

Then, Heracross shouldn't have such a hard time handling it (bar Draco Meteor), but under Rain Hydro Pumps hurt Heracross.

Wish for ThunderPunch on Jirachi maybe? It cancels another (albeit, more effective in terms of a good switch-in; no need for sacrifice) DDGyara check, but would that con outweigh Latias being healed and able to continue her epic revenge killing? It wouldn't ruin the team as far as I'm concerned, but I need to test it; what do you (and other raters) think?

That's what I meant. Rain All-Special Kingdra murders your team if Heracross takes 70.3% - 83.2% damage from Rain Hydro Pump - if SR is present, he only needs to take 18% residual damage for a sure kill - and 12.5% would make for a more-then-average dmg. And Heracross can be easily made to take that damage - Restalk only has 28% of using a move @ hitting - he can use Dragon Pulse to finish you, too. So, in addition to residual things, if a Resting Heracross is forced out he only has 28% of winning.

Try to test it - Jirachi takes 67.1% - 79.5% from LOGyara's +1 Waterfall, and is OHKOed by +1 Earthquake. I don't think this is 0-sac revenge.

It's more effective than Latias it seems, because +1 Stone Edge hits Latias hard, +1 Waterfall also hits hard, +1 Ice Fang always (?) KOs after SR, and Earthquake does nothing. Jirachi is more effective because he switches in on Gyarados' STAB attack and lives even after an SR switch and KOs Gyarados back (after SR). It's a much more secure 0-sac revenge, as I haven't seen Gyarados' use Earthquake that often (albeit, more Gyaras are Bulky anyway; using Stone Edge or Return or Bounce).

Edited OP to hopefully get rid of all the typos, grammatical, spelling, misconceptional and presentation errors.

Interesting team, looks nice, but needs a little revision.

You may want to try Life Orb on Scizor. Life Orb will allow Scizor to do quite a bit more damage, which is quite important considering his small invesment in Attack. You can Roost off Life Orb recoil, which also a big plus. You also might want to consider Bug Bite over Brick Break thanks to its superior power to Brick Break.

Also, I agree with changing Heracross to maybe ReversalCross or Flame Orb or something like that. Since you say Heracross is best brought out late-game, having either of those sets can really strike terror into your opponents as they realize that they have no way to stop a Maxed out Reversal or a +2 Guts Heracross with two ridiculous STABs. Even though this may change your team, it'll make Heracross an effective late-game sweeper, which is basically what you wanted in the first place. It'll make the team more offensively oriented (maybe), but that's what thrives in today's metagame; so give a little more thought and testing, see how it goes in comparison to your current set; as well as how it plays out.

Good luck with the team!

P.S. That is some very nice presentation you've got there.
