My latest team...NEEDS UR HELP!!! [OU]

This is my latest team and I think it kind of needs some help as I seem to be not winning as much as I would like to with it. SO...without further ado, I'll present you the team:

TEAM AT A GLANCE:

~~~~THE TEAM IN-DEPTH:~~~~

celebi.png


Celebi @ Leftovers
Bold; 252 HP, 220 Def, 36 Spe
Grass Knot
Leech Seed
U-Turn
Recover

Description: A standard Celebi as a lead, but mostly because I immediately U-Turn out as they opponent Stealth Rocks,
and in any case, I hit those Tyranitars for super effective damage when escaping.
The moves are self-explanatory but I'm wondering if
I should switch
Leech Seed for something like Thunder Wave or Stealth Rock.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'm wondering if I should switch Celebi out completely,
but I would need a new lead or a new Poke and I simply can't figure out what this team needs.
HELP HERE!!
(BTW, thought I'd mention that this is probably my best bet against Swampert for now, so....)
zapdos.png


Zapdos @ Leftovers
Bold; 252 HP, 220 Def, 36 SDef
Heat Wave
Discharge
U-Turn/Toxic
Roost

Description: Zapdos that is inclined towards physical hits and countering many of the threats lying there.
(Makes Celebi seems sorta redundant, I guess...)
U-Turn is another way for my Wall to switch and give me an advantage, but I'm also considering Toxic.
The rest is pretty self-explanatory,
and Zapdos is just plain awesome.


suicune.png


Suicune @ Leftovers
Bold; 252 HP, 176 Def, 80 SDef
Calm Mind
Rest
Ice Beam
Surf

Description: IDK about the EVs, I wanted
Suicune to be rather bulky defensively and be able to get some Calm Minds and sweep.
Suicune offers this team a great chance at
a late-game sweep and a counter to quite a few threats,
most notably the popular Heatran.

jirachi.png


Jirachi @ Leftovers
Bold; 252 HP, 136 Spe, 120 Def
Wish
Thunderbolt
Psychic
Calm Mind

Description: My back-up sweeper, Calm Mind makes him exceedingly bulky and
Wish as a recovery allows him to beat Blissey and heal up
the team. Jirachi is also the only Rock resist o
f the team, which is why I'm considering changing the Jirachi set completely to accomodate
Iron Head so as to put the hurt on those damn Tyranitars.
What do u think?


salamence.png


Salamence @ Life Orb
Rash; 252 SAtk, 176 Spe, 80 Atk
Brick Break
Draco Meteor
Fire Blast
Roost

Description: Mixmence is on nearly all my teams. I
t's the main wall-breaker on this team, and the only thing that packs immediate power and generally takes out 2-3 opponents every match when played right.
It has enough Speed to outspeed Adamant Lucario, which is something the Mixnite that some ppl say is better, cannot do.
Other than that, this is pretty standard.


tyranitar.png


Tyranitar @ Choice Scarf
Jolly; 252 Spe, 252 Atk, 6 HP
Stone Edge
Crunch
Superpower
Fire Blast

Description: A Choice Scarf Tyranitar.
Outspeeds base 115s and is a truly awesome revenge killer. Its also probably my best switch-into Zapdos.
I'd say this Poke is truly amazing.

SO THERE U GO! RATE AWAY, THIS TEAM DEFINATELY NEEDS SOME WORK!!! :toast:
 
I don't really see the point of your Celebi-lead. You say you use it because you can U-Turn out? Well, there are lot of Pokémon better suited for U-Turning. However, Swampert will have the opportunity to set up Curses on the entire rest of your team, so Celebi is actually very necessary.
What I suggest is to use Tyranitar as a lead. Secondly, if you give Celebi Perish Song over Leech Seed, you can prevent certain Pokémon setting up sweeps, including fucking up BP-Chains.
As for Tyranitar as a lead, you might want to use the now popular Tar-lead with Ice Beam / Fire Blast / Superpower / Dark Pulse @ Focus Sash, but I think that the one you have now can be equally dangerous, so that's just a matter of preference. If you do not want Tyranitar leading, both Salamence and Jirachi can pull of that role with success.

CM-Cune also want 252/252 in Defense, as after some CMs it doesn't need the SpDef EVs, and it really needs the Defense EVs.

For Jirachi, I would choose something more bulky. You already have a CM-Sweeper, so Jirachi doing that is not really necessary. Wish is good, but you might want to add Protect, so that you can heal yourself before dying from Tyranitars Crunch. Also, Iron Head is a good idea, if so you might want Thunder Wave/Body Slam as well, so you can annoy with ParaFlinch.

It also seems that all your Pokémon focus on physical defense, so I would change Zapdos to a Calm nature, and switch the Def EVs to SpDef. Then it makes an awesome Infernape-counter as well.
 
Yeah, I should probably switch my lead, but is Celebi + Zapdos redundant in that I can just give Zapdos HP Grass > U-Turn and screw Swamperts over? I don't really see Celebi doing too much in battles and it is my weak link.
 
I think the current Suicune you are running is a bit outdated. No longer is this advance where nothing could 2hko Suicune (just about nothing). There are some big threats out there that can really abuse your rest w/o sleep talk and then threaten to sweep your team.

You could go with Crocune but I would suggest to go with SubCune:

Leftovers
252 hp/160 Spd/96 SpA
Modest

Same moveset but put substitute over rest.

This'll do a good job at sweeping and can easily threaten Heatran as well. Its walled by bulky waters, but you have celebi to stop them.
 
Hey, thanks for the comments, guys, but I can't make the changes on this post because my computer can't even load the edit.....
SO I'LL

Change Jirachi to ScarfTrick lead
Make Celebi into a CM sweeper
AND I'm wondering if I should use the LO Suicune, because that one doesn't get walled by the really popular Vaporeon is see these days.

SO, ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?
 
I would switch Tyranitar to the lead position and make it some sort of anti lead or the Choice Band set.

Even if you have a Choice Scarf on Tyranitar, your team is rather slow, as nothing goes higher than 361 (or whatever Tar's speed is, and I just recommended you remove the Scarf). I strongly recommend a Choice Scarf Zapdos, with TBolt/Heat Wave/Hidden Power Ice/U-turn. It makes an excellent switch into DD Mence, outspeeding most after one DD, and Mence most likely won't switch out, thinking it can Outrage you after Rocks. You don't have a really solid switch otherwise. It also gives your team some much needed speed to keep things in check.

Calm Mind Jirachi is good.

Stealth Rock on Celebi over Leech Seed. Keep U-turn because this team is pretty offensive, and U-turn will allow you to keep the upper hand.
 
I'm thinking keeping ScarfTar as a lead works well anyways since it can KO most of the Suicide Leads and TrickScarfers probably won't get off successful either.

As for the Choice Scarf Zapdos suggestion, I'll consider it, but seeing as though Zapdos covers many of the threats this team has a hard time against (ex. Scizor, etc.), not having Roost could be bad.

Yeah, I'm probably going to use SR over Leech Seed on Celebi if I choose to keep it as a Wall.

THNX FOR THE RATES, PPL, ANY1 ELSE WANT TO SUGGEST ANYTHING?
