Azelf @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 4 Atk / 252 SPAtk/ 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+ Spd - SPDef)
~ Stealth Rock
~ Taunt
~ Psychic
~ Explosion

This is my lead pokemon and a good one at that. Stealth Rock is for support and hurts many of the pokemon in this tier and for flying pokemon i face many swellows. Taunt is for lead Zongs Ninjasks and even other Azelfs which i face alot. Psychic is for STAB and Explosion is just when i have used every other attack and it bacicly kills the other pokemon unless it is sashed

Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
Evs: 232 HP/ 252 Atk/ 24 Spd
Adamant: Nature
~ Bullet Punch
~ Swords Dance
~ Roost
~ Brick Break

This is my Scizor i love this guy i have sweeped entire teams with this guy after a three swords dances he just procedes to sweep Bullet Punch is for Aero and Gengar and other ghosts and it always attacks first why not use it. Swords dance as i said earlier to increase my attack and potenial to sweep. Roost is to heal up.Brick Break is a move i am trying out it hits steels which before is the only thing this guy didn't do damage to.

Kingdra @ Life Orb
Ability: Sniper
Evs 252 Atk/252 Speed/ 4 HP
Adamant Nature
~ Dragon Dance
~ Outrage
~ Waterfall
~ Substitute

This guy can win me games with just him remaining on my team he stays because i would have had games that should have lost be wins thanks to him and with his Snipe ability i get more crits on Outrage and Waterfall the plan with Kingdra is first subsitute then DD up then Outrage or Waterfall then sweep.

Well thaths my team i am open to any suggestions and thank you in advance for all your help i really appreciate it.
 
Wow, your team is so similar to mine it's gonna be easy to rate =).

I can't really recommend much without making your team into my team, but I'll try to help where I can.

First of all, you might want to add a bit of special attacking in there somewhere, otherwise you may struggle getting past dedicated physical walls. Only your Azelf can use special attacks, and more often than not he's gonna be dead near the start of the game. I suggest you change Lucario into a specs Lucario with Timid, 252SpA, 252Spe, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, HP Ice, and Vacuum Wave. Not only will this get some surprise KOs by being special on something that is predominantly physical, it also acts as an excellent lure for Scizor's counters. SD Scizor and SD Lucario are essentially the same pokemon (steel type sweeper who SDs up and sweeps with priority) and so have very similar counters, but with Specs Luke you can weaken these counters who think they are coming in on a nice easy physical move. I wouldn't worry too much about Blissey because you have Tyranitar's Pursuit to get rid of her.

However, this does open you up more to being swept by Salamence, so we're gonna have to change something for that. I suggest you change your Dusknoir to a jolly scarfed Jirachi, with Iron Head, Thunderpunch, Ice Punch and Trick. This will let you outspeed both Gyarados and Salamence after they have DDed once, and OHKO them both with Ice/Thunderpunch. You can always Trick the scarf onto a wall after you're done, to help your other sweepers do their thing.

Anyway, good luck with the team.

Thanks so much LR for your help i will change dusknoir to JIrachi and i will change Lucario and again thanks yeah are teams do look really similar but thyen these days alot of teams look similar
 
Legacy we are the rating duo team!

So this team with Legacy's changes boils down to azelf/gyrados/jirachi/lucario/scizor/tyranitar. On this team, I see a weakness to Scarf/Offensive Zapdos as he can outspeed and 1-2 hko your whole team minus tyranitar. Now tyranitar can take hits for a while, but switching into rocks and offensive zappy thunderbolts/hp grasses will not be fun and he will not be around the whole battle. The number of pokes weak to fire and electric is dangerous in itself as well, Zapdos just happens to have both. To remedy this problem without changing the nature of your team, I would suggest switching Tyranitar to the banded 252 hp 216 sp. def 40 atk version in order to take special hits more effectively. This is especially important for your team as Tyranitar is your only special sponge.

Another thing I noticed was that your suicide lead azelf has an ineffective ev spread. I told Legacy this on his team as well, you should run 252 spd 200 atk and 56 sp. atk on your azelf. This allows it's explosion to cause much more damage and even dent those that resist it.

Finally, I would change your gyrados to a 252 atk 252 spd 4 hp Adamant spread. This is much more destructive than the spread you are currently running. Your spread seems to be a cross between bulkydos and LO dos and that defeats the purpose of both. LO dos is meant to hit hard and fast and bulkydos is meant to counter fighters and dd lategame. The Life orb and your desciption led me to believe you wanted offense, and in that case LO dos's spread will be better for your causes. Not to mention that the Life orb ruins the durabiliy of bulkydos and defeats it's purpose.

Hope I helped

Team looks solid.

However, i have some complaints about the Celebi set-Calm Mind isn't achieving that much honestly. You could run a CM Baton Passer, but if you're running CM my opinion is don't run Leech Seed. Either run:

-Leech Seed
-HP Fire
-Psychic/Substitute/Grass Knot
-Recover

OR

-Calm Mind
-Baton Pass
-Grass Knot
-Psychic

A cune with +2/+2 at least or more is scary with the coverage and speed your set grants. Celebi BP to Cune is win, so i suggest you try the CM pass set. You could run Sub/CM/BatonPass/Recover so its entirely passing oriented, but then you dont want Celebi as your last Poke, ever.
