I'm trying to make some changes that would allow me to use this team effectively in both OU and Uber tier if possible.
Can you see if there are any changes that needs to be done, and suggest any possible improvements that can be done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Current Team:
Starmie @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spd
Nature: Timid
~ Hydro Pump
~ Ice Beam
~ Rapid Spinner
~ Thunderbolt
Purpose: Starmie will be the one that leads my team, and that is to prevent lead sweepers from ruining my team. Ice Beam and Thunderbolt was added for coverage. Hydro Pump is for STAB. Rapid Spinner is there to eliminate any potential danger that is set out in the field.
Heatran @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 6 Def / 252 HP / 252 SpD
Nature: Calm
~ Lava Plume
~ Protect
~ Roar
~ Stealth Rock
Purpose: Heatran is there to set up Stealth Rock, and possibly stall with Protect and/or Roar. The alternative is using Lava Plume on weakened foes, or pokemons weak to fire.
Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 44 Atk / 216 Spe / 252 HP
Nature: Adamant
~ Dragon Claw
~ Dragon Dance
~ Fire Punch
~ Roost
Purpose: Dragonite is my primary physical sweeper in the team, which I set up Dragon Dance if possible, then use Dragon Claw. Fire Punch is there in case Dragon Claw is ineffective against the pokemon I'm facing. Roost is there in case I get the chance to heal in battle.
Lucario @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Nature: Adamant
~ Close Combat
~ Crunch
~ Extremespeed
~ Sword Dance
Purpose: My alternative to Gyarados, just with some problems bringing him out in the battle due to not being bulky (brought out when there is an opening in the battle). Sword Dance is there in order to properly sweep. Extremespeed is there to deal with most speedy pokemon. Crunch is there for coverage. Close Combat is there for
STAB.
Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 6 SpD / 252 SpA / 252 Spd
Nature: Timid
~ Hidden Power Ice
~ Hydro Pump
~ Trick
~ Volt Switch
Purpose: My revenge killer in the team. Hydro Pump STAB. Volt Switch is for scouting. Trick is to counter pokemons that don't use offensive moves in battle.
Skarmory @ Shed Shell
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 28 Spd / 232 Def / 252 HP
Nature: Impish
~ Brave Bird
~ Roost
~ Spikes
~ Whirlwind
Purpose: Plays the same role as Heatran, but is able to heal with Roost instead of using Protect to stall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would it be a good idea to replace any of the pokemons in my team for these, or to this as my team instead?
Forretress @ Shed Shell
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 4 SpD / 252 HP / 252 Def
Nature: Careful
~ Pain Split
~ Rapid Spin
~ Spikes
~ Toxic Spikes
Purpose: Would be used as a primary physical tank Able to effectively set the field with Spikes and Toxic Spikes, and eliminate any problems set out in the field by my opponent. Pain Split is to even the odds with certain pokemon that may have a gross amount of HP in comparison to Forretress, and another way to recover lost HP.
Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 HP / 252 SpD
Nature: Careful
~ Crunch
~ Low Kick
~ Pursuit
~ Stealth Rock
Purpose: Would serve as both a primary special tank, as well as a sweeper. Stealth Rock is set up first, if possible. Crunch is there for STAB. Pursuit helps against pokemons that are switching out, if I can properly predict that action. Low Kick is there instead of Superpower for the greater amount of PP, and won't leave a penalty to my Atk and Def, plus the damage should at least be 80 at minimum from what I have tested.
Salamence @ Life Orb
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 4 SpA / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Naive
~ Dragon Dance
~ Earthquake
~ Fire Blast
~ Outrage
Purpose: Would serve as the primary sweeper sweeper in the team, possibly taking Dragonite's place for it's higher Spe and SpA. Set up Dragon Dance if possible, and use Outrage if it won't backfire. Earthquake and Fire Blast is there for coverage. I thought of adding Roost, but I don't know what can be replaced if it's a good idea.
Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe (30 Spe)
Nature: Timid

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 40 Def / 252 HP / 216 SpD
Nature: Careful
~ Body Slam
~ Iron Head
~ Protect
~ Wish
Purpose: Would serve as the healer and in the team. If going for the offense, then Body Slam is used until opponent is paralyzed, then use Iron Head. Wish is there to recover any damage with the help of Protect, or switch out after using the move.
Kingdra @ Choice Spec
Trait: Sniper
EVs: 4 SpD / 252 SpA / 252 Spe (30 SpA)
