This is a highly experimental team based on the gen 4 Hitokage team that was pretty much broken back them, it also has no gen 5 pokes but i have attempted to adapt it to gen 5.



Roserade @Focus Sash Timid Natural Cure
EV's: 252 Sp attack/252 Speed/4 Sp def
Sleep Powder
Leaf Storm
HP Fire
Toxic Spikes

The lead we came to love in Gen 4 hasn't changed much in gen 5 but it still reamins a top lead, given that gen 5 is a lot more bulk-orientated at the expense of speed. Sleep Powder is there to debilitate virtually any lead, Leaf Storm to smash through Hippowdon/Swampert and other Bulky Water/Ground/Rock Types. HP Fire to significantly damage Ferrothorn and OHKO most Scizor, as well as other grass/steel types other than Heatran. Toxic Spikes is there to hurt bulky walls with poison, making their leftovers recovery redundant as well as accumulate damage over the long run.



Skarmory @Leftovers Impish Sturdy
EV':s: 252 HP/232 Def/24 Speed
Stealth Rock
Roost
Brave Bird
Whirlwind

The ever present tank Skarmory remains one of Gen 5's top physical walls. With Sturdy's mechanics being changed, it can now live any attack at full health meaning it can now live moves that it couldn't last generation such as +2 Life Orb Close Combat from a Adamant Lucario, All Special electric attacks, all special fire moves e.t.c. Stealth Rock is preferred over Spikes with this team, as Stealth Rock hits every pokemon, even if only for 3% of their health. Roost to recover off any damage that has accumulated on Skarmory and it may even save it from being OHKO'd if it recovers back to full health. Brave Bird to destroy fighting types and lastly whirlwind to phaze opponents out as well as accumulate damage on the opponent.



Infernape@ Expert Belt Naive <IRON FIST>
EV's: 4HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
Substitute
Flare Blitz
Stone Edge
Focus Punch

Perhaps one of the most creative pokemon i have come up with, and i believe it can really punch holes in teams simply because of the sheer surprise factor. Substitute can be used when you switch into a pokemon that will inevitably have to switch out. Flare Blitz for a powerful fire STAB Move, as i'm not sure Fire Punch is legal yet with Iron Fist, and it also more powerful that fire punch anyway, even with the Iron Fist boost. Focus Punch being the main move on this set, gaining a huge 270 base power with STAB and the Iron Fist boost. Stone Edge is preffered on this set to deal with Gyarados/Dragonite/Salamence that would otherwise wall this set.



Latias @Leftovers Timid Levitate
EV's: 252 HP/4 Sp Attack/252 Speed
Calm Mind
Recover
Dragon Pulse
HP Fire/Psyshock

The standard Latias Calm Mind set that serves as my Sp Wall, as well resisting all of the types that affect my other team members. Calm Mind boosts its great Sp Def and Sp attack, Recover is there to add further durability to Laitas. Dragon Pulse is fired off a high Sp attack stat that is further helped by Calm Mind and it seriously dents everything that doesn't resist it. HP Fire is there to cripple the likes of Ferrothron/Scizor E.t.c. although Psyshock can be used instead as i have a dedicated T-Tar/Scizor killer in my team already and it can be used to destroy Blissey that would otherwise wall this set.



Starmie @Leftovers/Life Orb Timid Natural Cure
EV's: 4HP/252 Sp Attack/252 Speed
Hydro Pump
Thunderbolt
Recover
Rapid Spin

The Rapid Spinner and generic Special Sweeper. Hydro Pump is more appealing to me given the amount of rain teams there seem to be, increasing its power by a huge amount. T-Bolt to damage bulky waters/Flying types. Recover to heal damage and lastly Rapid Spin gives the much needed team support.



Scizor @Choice Band Adamant Technician
EV's: 252 HP/216 Attack/40 Speed
Bullet Punch
Superpower
U-Turn
Pursuit

Choice Band Scizor the ever present threat and can devastate many teams with its sheer power and decent amount of resistances. Bullet Punch picks of weakened sweepers as well as taking a fair chunk out of of them if they have full health. Superpower to destroy Steels/T-Tar. U-Turn to provide momentum and huge damage and lastly Pursuit checkmates a large amount of choice users. The 40 speed EV's are there to ensure it outruns all other common CB Scizor/Bulky SD Scizor and Superpower them to death.
