At a glance:
Metagross @ Occa Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/236 Atk/12 Def/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Stealth Rock
Gross lead, bulky and powerful. It sets up SR, breaks sashes with Bullet Punch, kills the weak leads with EQ then explodes out. I chose it over Azelf for the near-guarenteed SR/KO it provides, plus it can usually do both and become a useful "nuke" later on if it survives to kill annoying threats. This has worked reliably for me and I see no reason to change any of it, Occa berry is for countering LeadApe/Tran.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/54 SAtk
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Roar
The primary physical tank and only phazer. Set is pretty standard Mixpert, I realized I needed a good phazer and bulkier water so I swapped Starmie for this, set is pretty standard, Hydro Pump, while a bit inaccurate, gets me the power that Swampert otherwise lacks on the special side.

Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- U-turn
- Pursuit
LO Scizor--Priority spammer and overall revenge-killer. Bullet Punch is the main move, getting a lot of KOs and being useful as the second priority spammer in the team, Superpower KOs Blissey, TTar, etc., U-Turn to evacuate against slower Pokemon and Pursuit hits fleeing Psychics, although, honestly, I haven't seen too many people switch out Gengars and Azelfs expecting a Pursuit, then I nail them w/ BP. Scizor is a staple of my team no matter how OU it is, I tried using a CBSwine, but Ice Shard just didn't get me the needed KOs that BP Scizor gets me. Life Orb is for people who expect to switch into a BP locked Scizor or something, and I trade power for versatility.

Tyranitar (M) @ Babiri Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Punch
DD TTar, mah main sweeper. I used to run Gyarados, but after being owned by some Hail and Rain teams, I decided to run TTar instead. Seeing that 4 of my Pokemon are immune to SS, I can run it without using a dedicated SS team and TTar is quite the threat. Babiri berry allows it to survive BP Scizor and stuff like that then KO back with Fire Punch. Stone Edge/Crunch provide a good STAB combo, DD is the sweep set-up, and Fire Punch is better over Aqua Tail because it covers a couple of major threats, Scizor and Foretress easy.

Porygon-Z@ Choice Scarf
Ability: Download
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Tri Attack
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
A unexpected threat, Scarf PZ gets me a lot of kills when neccesary. Download can get a sweep going, especially against the usually more physically bulky Pokemon, and with it's insane SAtk in the 400s, it can easily KO 1-2 Pokemon. Most people expect Nasty Plot or Specs, and then can easily get KOd. Tri Attack is for STAB, Boltbeam has great coverage and HP Fighting can KO the occasional TTar or Lucario.

Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/168 Def/88 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Overheat
- Shadow Ball
- Will-o-wisp
A bulky tank and spin-blocker. While I only use Stealth Rock, it can switch into Starmie and Foretress and get the KO, while crippling almost any physical threat with WoW. TBolt and Shadow Ball provides a decent STAB combo, and Overheat allows Rotom to be a counter to the steel-types running rampant everywhere.

Now, the main issue:
Weak on the special side: Gengar and the other fast special attackers can walk all over this team, since I don't have especially specially defensive Pokemon I have to use prediction to counter them. The only real checks are Metagross and Scizor which can abuse priority to KO them. I was thinking of replacing Rotom with a Latias, but I need the fire-move coverage that Rotom provides.
