The Lead
Salamence (Adamant)
@Focus Sash
EVs:252 Atk 252 Sp 4 HP
Attacks:
Dragon Dance
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Fire Fang

This Salamence always comes in handy for me. after 1 or 2 DDs, the thing is almost unstoppable for me. Usually since people try to switch to a counter when they first see this, it allows me to DD and outspeed/kill the counter.

The Wall
Skarmory (Impish)
@Leftovers
EVs:252 Def, 252 HP 4 Sp
Attacks:
Spikes
Roost
Drill Peck
Roar

Another one of my most dependable pokemon. Skarmory has saved my ass more than you can count on your fingers and toes. With maxed out spikes and roar, it can damage a number of the pokemon on the opposing team, though i had one problem with a Gliscor earlier today.

The Wishpasser
Jirachi (Bold)
@ Leftovers
EVs: 240 HP 56 Atk 76 Def 136 Sp
Attacks:
U-Turn
Wish
Reflect
Zen Headbutt

Ah, Jirachi. This thing comes in handy in a number of situations, though i haven't harnessed its power to full yet. I use it as an effective enough Weavile counter with U-Turn, or i can just Wish/Reflect/U-Turn to my Salamence to support it.

The Sleep Inducer/Special Sweeper
Jolteon (Modest)
@ Leftovers
EVs:252 SpA 252 Sp 4 HP
Attacks:
Thunderbolt
HP Ice
Yawn
Shadow Ball

Jolteon has just the right amount of speed and the right amount of power to annihalate anything that crosses it. If i find the opposing pokemon to be annoying to it, i'll just yawn it and beat it up while it's asleep, or switch to a better counter.

The Phazer/Other Wall
Suicune (Bold)
@Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP 252 Def 4 SpA
Attacks:
Ice Beam
Surf
Calm Mind
Roar

The Bulky Water of my team and the phazer. Suicune can take a hit and dish twice or more back with Calm Mind+STAB Surf. Its Ice Beam is also extremely deadly and shouldnt be taken lightly.

The Powerhouse
Garchomp (Adamant)
@Life Orb
EVs:252 Atk 252 Sp 4 HP
Attacks:
Swords Dance
Outrage
Earthquake
Fire Fang

This is the trump card of my team. It never disappoints me. This pokemon is a monster to go up against and can exterminate almost anything that dares go up against it.

Well, that was my first team, sorry if i went a little overboard on the descriptions. Feel free to suggest any changes to the Pokemon, moves, or suggest replacing a pokemon altogether. thank you.
 
Salamence is a pretty bulky Pokémon, and so Focus Sash is pretty wasted. If you're afraid of Ice Beam you can easily EV Salamence to survive such hits, or even use Yache Berry. However, I won't recommend leading of a lategame sweeper right off the bat. I'd however suggest maybe a CBMence or even a Mix/Specsmence as it will let you hit any incomming Pokémon pretty hard, and it will also let you scout a possible counter. But for future reference, Dragon/Fire/Ground is unresisted and is a general better choice then Rock/Ground/Dragon.

I miss those Stealth Rocks, and I honestly cannot see why you'd prefer to use Spikes over them. Without them on the field, Gyarados and Salamence can be a pain to take down. Zapdos walls your entire team, but takes a lot from Stealth Rock. Spikes isn't as easy to get on the field as it used to be, and considering you don't even run a Ghost Pokémon you're pretty much wasting your time setting them up if your opponent run a spinner. Having that said, you should run some Speed EVs on Skarmory to outrun standard CBGross, as you can Roost off Thunderpunches with ease. Otherwise you're 2HKOd.

There aren't really any reasons to use a Adamant Yache Garchomp without Outrage I believe (feel free to correct me, though). IIRC EQ cannot OHKO any bulky water, so your Yache will pretty much be wasted as you suddenly is easily revengekilled. So basically, run Adamant Yache Outrage, or Jolly nature. Life Orb is also pretty cool.
