Deo 2.0 (Azelf) @ rocky helmet

trait: levitate

EVs: 252 hp/ 252 spd/ 4 def
Timid nature

~reflect

~light screen

~stealth rock

~taunt


Ok first i have azelf i had a different set originally but i have manage to update it a bit and now it provides screens support for the rest of the team since most of them set up after screens and through reflect both talon and pinisr have a chance to live stone edge from lando and other non stab rock moves. taunt and rocks over flamethrower and explosion is for one rocks to break sashes and taunt to mess with other hazard leads and somewhat with stall.
252+ Atk Landorus-T Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Pinsir through Reflect: 222-262 (81.9 - 96.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Landorus-T Stone Edge vs. 192 HP / 0 Def Talonflame through Reflect: 344-406 (99.7 - 117.6%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

Charizard 2.0 (Talonflame) @ sharp beak

Trait: gale wings

EVs: 192 hp / 252 atk / 4 special defense / 60 spd

Adamant nature

~brave bird
~flare blitz
~roost
~swords dance


I decided to have sharp beak instead of band so that I can freely switch moves and set up on some pokemon. Brave bird and flare blitz are mandatory roost to heal stealth rock damage if I cant get rid of them. The evs are spread like that to out speed adamant excadrill since brave bird is priorty the only faster prority that are possible is weavile, shadow sneak greninja, extremspeed and thundorus t-wave but unless you run jolly max speed then those will still out speed you so i decided to put the evs in to health instead which allows it to live longer than most other talons and can revenge them at full health, and Adamant is to ensure the most damage possible instead of trying to out speed pokemon. sharp beak is there to boost brave bird since the only reason that talon has flare blitz is for ferro and excadrill. This is one part of my bird spam core.

Kill it with Fire (Mega Pinsir) @ pinsirite

Trait: aerilate

EVs: 252 atk / 4 special defense / 252 spd

Jolly nature

~return
~quick attack
~sword dance
~close combat

Close combat over earthquake mainly to hit tyranitar and rotom a bit harder since aegi is gone, earthquake doesnt hit much more pokemon than Close Combat does. originally i had adamant nature but i have since change it to jolly mainly due to fact that i kept dying from having pinsir not fast enough to kill most mega pokemon, and landorus-I. i would prefer adamant for a clean 2hko at +2 on zapdos and at +2 kill latios,and keldeo but i need the speed inorder take out most of the other mega pokemon and base 100 speed without priority. This is part two of bird spam core was considering to change pinsir to scarf staraptor in order to change mega pokemon, but so far with changing the mega around the synergy this team has would always go down, so if i wanted to change mega i would need to create a new team. At +2 it can kill most teams bar rotom, thundorus and the occasional douoblade.

The mole (Excadrill) @ choice scarf

Trait: mold breaker

EVs: 252 atk / 252 spd / 4 special defense

Jolly nature
~earthquake
~rock slide
~iron head
~ rapid spinner

This is my answer to most electric types and also my spinner. Scarf is chosen because it can out speed most of the meta game can check major threats to my team such as manetric, thundorus, raikou and band dragonite for the most part. this can also 2hko latios/latias, garchomp, excadrill is key to ensuring that hazards (mainly rocks) stay off as much as possible since the only pokemon on my team that can heal itself is talon. this can also kill the occasional scarf tyranitar and kyurem-black. no defoger pokemon is chosen since this was a hyper offensive team at the start and defog can boost bisharps attack and the only pokemon that can resist +2 sucker punch is hydregion and pinsir at full health.

Not a Dragon (Hydregion) @ life orb

Trait: levitate

EVs; 4 atk / 252 special atk / 252 spd

Naïve nature

~draco meteor
~dark pulse
~superpower
~fire blast

My answer to mew and slowbro most of the time and can live most priority reassuringly enough it has lived through banded talon and return pinsir at full health and can KO both of them unless pinsir runs CC which most due now a days, fire blast was mainly for mega mawile now its for scizor and neutral damage on fairy's. this has superpower because i hate focus miss and also after Draco if someone wants to switch in tyranitar catch them by surprise or if i dont want to miss a fire blast on sand rush excadrill. Draco and dark pulse are stabs, was my answer to mega mawile and aegi originally and also paired well with aegi together resisting just about every attack type. Naive nature is chosen because most attacks that it will switch into are physical attacks and hasty would lower the defense so didnt need that. I might change this with another better mixed attacker in order to deal with stall better, and/or get a new pair of pokemon that could replace hydregion and azumarill to make this team more balanced.

The Dragon killer (Azumarill) @ assault vest

Trait: huge power

EVs: 252 atk / 252 hp / 4 def

Adamant nature

~waterfall/superpower
~play rough
~Belly drum
~aqua jet

Ok i have changed this since i first got it and decided to go with screens and the bellyjet combo for more offensive presence. standard moves on belly jet azul but im leaning more towards superpower than water fall so that i can kill ferrothorns easily and waterfall would only do more damage to steel fairy types which is only klefi. This also helps with the t-tar exca core that threatens my team a lot and if rain teams come out as long as latias is dead it will sweep most of the time.

any comments and suggestions appreciated.​
 
Hey mate interesting team!
Firstly, you might want to read the rules, as RMTs require three lines or more.
I'm in a lecture right now, so I can't give a full rate right now, but I just wanted to point out something that became apparent by glancing at this team.
Not sure how you used this team with an AV Azumarill with Belly Drum. The description for the Assault Vest is that "Holder's Sp. Def is 1.5x, but it can only use damaging moves." By its very definition, Belly Drum and Assault Vest are incompatible. This moveslot can be replaced with Knock Off, which can be used to cripple a foe by removing their item. In addition, you could optimize the EV spread of Azumarill by looking at the spread below, which can also be found here.
Also, you could replace the Rocky Helmet with a Focus Sash, allowing you set up Screens and/or Rocks, which could give Pinsir the opportunity to set up and sweep.

Azumarill @ Assault Vest
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Waterfall
- Knock Off
- Play Rough
 
Nice team but assult vest belly drum azumarill "whut"? Focus sach>rocky helmet on azelf. Azelf with no attacks is risky taunt rekts it. U-turn pshshock are good moves for azelf.
Here are some threats: thundurous landorous garchomp and terrakion.
