Nasty and Tasty o.o
Well, First of all, the main strategy of the team is paralisis and then proceed to Togekiss, Bibarel and Finish Off.
Bibarel is here because i like my teams to be fun, and i like his Super Fang being able to rip almost every paralized pokemon half of his health.
aside from that i have also considered Specsmence which in a different way also fits in the team.
Strategy in General: Paralize the oponent, in the first turns. Then Super Fang with Bibarel, and Paraflinch with Togekiss. Finish off pokes with Heatran, and / or Revenge kill.

*Why is Azelf my lead? well, Taunt + SR and incredible speed is great for a lead. SR helps support my team and to ease the kind of sweeping this team is made for.
*Moveset: This is my first time using Azelf, and i really wanna try him out because of what i just mentioned. Aside from that, i haven't even used his standart sets with Life orb or Nasty plot. and even less how to manage this "different" set. I consider Explosion a good aset for him since it can take out a pokemon that is giving problems, but maybe its replazable for something better...
Flamethrower is there because i dont have fire attacks on other pokemon other than heatran. but i think between Jirachi and Heatran they can eliminate the steels which can give some problems to the team.
I need Help on those last 2 slots, and also some advices on how to take the best out of this poke =).
@ Leftovers
Impish - Serene Grace
Evs 240 HP / 56 Atk / 76 Def / 136 Spe
~ Wish
~ U-turn
~ Zen Headbutt
~ Thunder
*Role of Jirachi: Normally jirachi is seen on mid-late game as he is a wish passer. but in this team is not only a wish passer, but a complete team player.
With Thunder he paralises 60% of the time which is handy for the main strategy of the theme. Also, it helps to get rid of Flying and waters.
a predicted u-turn helps to get bibarel with less risk. or even a counter to the pokemon. that depends on the situation.
Wish is for self support, and team support. Bibarel needs it, and it may help heatran too if he gets an unfortunate critical hit or some extraneous situation.
-I think Jirachi is pretty straight Forward, rite now one of the strongest links of the team.
@ Leftovers
Unaware - Jolly
Evs: 232 HP / 80 Def / 80 SpD / 116 Spe
~ Super Fang
~ Waterfall
~ Taunt / Yawn
~ Thunder Wave
*Role of Bibarel: Here is the fun part of the team hehe, he comes in to paralize whatever is not paralized. Then Proceed to Super Fang so Togekiss or Heatran can finish off the poke.
Unaware is also good for those pokemons that increase their stats. this gives a good dent on pokemons that increase defensive stats becasue they cant really harm Bibarel, and he can Super Fang + Waterfall them to death.
*Last 2 slots: I have been using Thunder Wave and its pretty useful because Jirachi not always manages to Paralize pokemons. and since i not always use TW on Azelf. but i really prefer to come in with Bibarel after the pokemon is already paralized, so sometimes it may be a wasted moveslot.
Taunt/Yawn. well, here i dont really know what to use. i have tried both and both have worked, but i would really prefer something better.
Taunt completely destroys pure defensive pokemons helped with unaware. and Yawn sleeps watever could not be paralised, or an attacking stat upper that bibarel cannot resist.
my preffered option here is taunt since it has saved me twice. but i can get some suggestions and opinions here.

Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Body Slam
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Substitute
*What is the role of Togekiss? Paralise Grounds that have not been paralized yet with Thunder Wave and proceed to the annoyance of the "paraflinch"
since air slash has not the best coverage by itself this is paired up with Bibarel's Super Fang. which leaves the pokemons at half of their health. and now are easily killed by togekiss' air slash.
Substitute is to protect Togekiss of posible hits. since the opponent is not likely to attack, the damage of the sub is restored before they break it, or before you have to use another one. also roost is there to keep Togekiss healthy if the oponent manages to be lucky.
Help? right now this is working wonders but maybe he can have another attack for more reliability on type coverage.
also the Ev Spread i think it can be changed to make the best out if him, but still i cant think the right evs for him.

*Role of Heatran: This Guy has deserved a place on my last 3 teams thanks to all the things he can do by just changing his item and / or Ev Spread.
His Main Job is to finish off oponents that have been already "Super Fanged". aside from that, he serves as a revenge killer thanks to the choice scarf.
Heatran weaknesses are covered perfectly in the team since almost every pokemon flies/levitates. and Gliscor takes the Fighting hits. and Bibarel gets in some water pokemon and starts the fun with them =3!
-Like Jirachi, Another Strong link of the team.
@ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Roost
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
- Swords Dance
*Role of Gliscor: Gliscor is there as "the defensive wall" i gave him Swords Dance instead of a support move because, SR is already there in Azelf, and i feel that Knock off or Taunt do not help as much as SD does.
I might try out Knock off since it can take out Choice Items and Leftovers, that paired up with the paraflinch could be great. but right now, i like having a stat upper that can pose a different threat to the opponent.
*Change it? I Like Gliscor a lot, but i think it can be changed for something better. a spinner was the first thing i thought about when trying to replace it, but is not really needed since Togekiss is the only one that is affected by SR. and Bibarel is the only pokemon that is affected by Toxic Spikes and Spikes. So, well what do you think change him or not? what can take his place?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats basically the Team, it has been working pretty nicely, i know it has potential, because of what i have seen of it, and it is not finished yet. with the right attacks and ev spreads this can get nasty =3!
Just one more thing, what is your opinion of Specsmence instead of Bibarel?
Bibarel is really fun to use, and once saved me from a Curse Umbreon. but aside from that, Heatran + Gliscor + Jirachi + Salamence + Togekiss is a really difficult combination to take down. Also Specs Draco Meteor normally does hit Ghosts + sometimes it even Hits harder than Super Fang. It also has the other attacks for type coverage which bibarel lacks :K.
The Salamence i use is a standart, just like this:
@ Choice Specs
Modest - Intimidate
Ev's: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Draco Meteor
~ Dragon Pulse
~ Flamethrower
~ Hydro Pump
Thanks Beforehand =)! C-ya!
