i'm pretty sure i know what i'm doing now....

salamence@life orb
ev: 120atk, 136spe, 252sp.A
rash nature
intimidate
-brick break
-draco meteor
-flamethrower
-roost

my starter that i'll try to keep alive as long as i can with roost and smart switch outs. it starts fine, but also counters lots of physcl. sweepers, so i usually just draco meteor the first then cheese it (switch).

scizor@leftovers
ev:232hp, 252atk, 24def
adamant nature
technician
-quick attack
-swords dance
-roost
-iron head

i haven't tried him yet, it was just something i failed to spread the ev's on so i did it again. it'l act as my physical tank, and destroy everything after 2 or 3 swords dances. iron head can be negotiated, but i like it for type coverage.

suicune@chesto berry
ev:252hp, 252def, 4sp.A
bold nature
pressure
-calm mind
-surf
-ice beam
-rest

this is my physical wall, and special wall. it's nearly invincible after a few calm minds, and can get 2-4 in before it has to rest to prepare sweepage.

zapados@leftovers
ev:252hp, 204spe, 52sp.A
modest nature
pressure
-thunderbolt
-substitute
-detect
-baton pass

my sub passer, to gallade mostly, and sp. attacker. i sub, and thunderbolt if he can kill it, or detect to see what they have so i can pass to the right poke.

tyranitar@leftovers
ev:252hp, 176atk, 24spe, 56sp.A
brave nature
sand stream
-substitute
-focus punch
-ice beam
-crunch

i love my tyranitar. it's incredibly hard to OHKO him, and usually subs on the switch pretty easily. i gave it just enough sp.A evs to OHKO gliscor, salamence, and something else that i forgot...... and enough speed to outrun blissy, which is my favorite thing to kill.

gallade@choice scarf
ev:16hp, 252atk, 240spe
adamant nature
steadfast
-psycho cut
-close combat
-ice punch
-thunder punch

my overall favorite poke, and revenge killer. it gets 12 super effectives out of 17 types (which is usually a OHKO), and can easily kill anything else with 2 shots.

i posted a full team this time, and i feel proud of myself.
 
I'd switch Iron Head to X-Scissor on Scizor. Iron Head really doesn't have that much coverage... Also, what's the point of Baton Passing a substitute to Gallade if it's Choice Banded? Choice Bands limit what you're doing, and since you're hiding behind a sub, you might as well not limit your Gallade's type coverage. I'd go with Expert Belt over Choice Band on Gallade.
 
^^^^agree with him.
but I do see what you are trying to do.
you might want to get the EV spread on TTAR under contro; and focus on somthing if he is going to sweep.
 
i like the x-scissor, but i only need to sub pass to gallade 'cause of his semi-weak defense. if i'm switching into a spec. sweeper, i shouldn't have a problem.
 
Steel and Normal have crap coverage hitting only Ice and Rock for super effective damage. I feel its in your best interest to switch out Iron Head for X-Scissor, the occasional flinch is orgasmic but that's all Iron Head has going for it. Chesto Berry on Suicune seems like a good idea but your going to be missing Leftovers when you have to Rest again. Even more since you say you use it as your physical and special wall.

On another note I see "Celetran" walling this team. It has an answer for every member of your team. Making Zapdos an Agility passer as seen here and passing it to Gallade can ease that. Of course with a diffrent set. Something like Gallade @ Life Orb, 204 Hp/252 Atk/ 52 Spe. Enough speed to outrun max speed Heatran and standard Agiligross. With Swords Dance over Thunder Punch this way taking down Celebi is easier and with all the extra Hp EVs you have, you can take a hit or two.

Everything else seems standard but fine. Good luck on your team.
