XY OU No MegaTeam

ArchonInterface

Hey all, apoligize in advance my patience typing on mobile doesn't typically extend to things this long.

Anywho, this team was originally put together using leftover battle readies in my pc and I tweaked and moved some things around to try to optimize its efficiency but I've run into some recurring problems that maybe outside help can solve.

The Team:

Greninja@Life Orb
Ability: Protean
Timid 4hp/252Sp.Atk/252Speed
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam
-Scald
-U-Turn

Greninja is by far one of the most useful Sp. Attackers ive used. He's got a bit of problems in having nearly no longevity if hit but unless necessary he is a late game cleaner.

Gliscor@Toxic Orb
Ability:Poison Heal
Impish 244HP/48Atk/216Def
-Acrobatics
-Fling
-Earthquake
-Knock Off

Physical Wall. Mostly. Knock off is there to screw with anything that cares about its item at all. Particularly Choice Banders that think they can push through by hitting harder. Fling to toxic breaks enemy walls and Acrobatics capitalizes on it.

Aegislash@Leftovers
Stance Change
Brave 252Hp/252Atk/4Def
-Substitute
-Shadow Claw
-Sacred Sword
-Kings Shield

He started as a SubTox Aegi off the Atk stat but only having either Sacred Sword or Shadow Claw wasn't cutting it and Ive observed significantly increased results in any case that Toxic is not a gg

Arcanine@Assault Vest
Intimidate
Jolly 4Hp/252Atk/252Spd
-Extremespeed
-Close Combat
-Flare Blitz
-Wild Charge

With Intimidate + AV Arcanine is usually able to take most of any one hit and retaliate barring nukes and Super effective which I dont stick around to eat unless Im putting a dent in first to make way for a KO.

Hydreigon@Choice Specs
Levitate
Modest 4Hp/252Sp.Atk/252Spd
-Flamethrower
-Dragon Pulse
-Dark Pulse
-Flash Cannon

Ive contemplated Meteor for dragon STAB but I usually hope to get a few more shots in and thus more overall damage but idk. He puts holes in things.

Chansey@Eviolite
Serene Grace
Bold 4Hp/252Def/252Sp.Def
-Aromatherapy
-Soft Boiled
-Seismic Toss
-Toxic

The ultimate Special wall. SB for instant recovery and Aromatherapy to fix any stray burns or paralysis for the team as well as prevent Toxic from breaking her.

Quite frankly I love using it, but it needs help. I dont have much answer to things such as MVenasaur Rotom or Gengar. Sableye can cause problems with WoW but Toxic or Fling clears him away Any sugestions to improve my ability to counter those guys or anything I haven't considered are beyond appreciated.
 
First off Aegislash is bannned from OU so you need to find a replacement for him. Second off you should probably carry protect over Fling and sub/roost or even stealth rock (if you can get it) over acrobatics to increase gliscor's longevity. Also because you have problems with MVeansaur/Gengar you should carry extrasensory over u-turn over dark pulse on Greninja. Also chansey beat rotom-w 1v1 so you shouldn't have too many problem with iot as long as you keep chansey around. Also if anyone tells you to carry grass knot on greninja then be aware that grass knot from greninja to rotom-w does around 20-something percent. I may be back later with another comment. If you need help finiding stuff to breed in game with then use this site http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon welp good luck on this team!
 
Thanks a ton. I didnt know Aegi got theBan hammer so my bad. Hows about Defiant Bisharp? I don't have a set in mind but Ive been thinking of breeding one out soon anyways. Extrasensory would clear up a lot of problems as long as I keep him around, ive completely neglected it and that's my mistake. Chansey toxic has been my most reliable way of ridding things like rotom so Ill stick to that as my primary check.
 
For Gliscor, I am unable to get rocks but I would prefer to have them. Regardless, after Fling Aromatherapy Kills Gligar so Ill replace it with Protect. Im not so sure about the last move. Id prefer SR or something damaging. If youve more insight Id appreciate it, however thank you very much for ive overlooked simple solutions
 
I dont mean to clog up the thread with my own replies but the bisharp I came up with,
Bisharp@Leftovers
Defiant
Adamant Max hp Max Atk
-knock off
-Stealth Rock
-Iron Head
-Sucker Punch

This set is good I prefer to use pursuit bisharp in case one of the lati twins show up but if knock off is your preference that is fine too but the thing is that bisharp is too frail to set up srocks on his own I will be back and give you an answer for another pokemon to set them up but until I can find one that has decent synergy-good synergy with your team I guess bisharp would be ok depending on who your replacing.
 
Hes replacing Aegi so its still OU. I dont need SR per se. I could give it pursuit which could givre it a few more opportunities to kill. Id run either the sash or Leftovers. To replace aegi I was really just thinking any bulky attaker to fit in. Sometimes it was up to Aegi to stall for another's toxic via sub shield.

Well good luck with that because aegislash did it the best.
 
I would suggest running Hydro Pump over Scald.
Scald is a good choice for Greninja, but I believe Hydro Pump is a better choice for this set.
As you stated, Greninja lacks longevity. Also with addition of the fact you are running Life Orb, this set favors heavy pure damage, and thats what Hydro Pump supplies. Hydro Pump grants 30 more base power opposed to Scald, and will definitely compliment your set.
 
With Intimidate and a physical wall I probably will switch out scald, if the accuracy of Hydro Pump is hurting too much in testing ill end up using scald.Thank you for the suggestion
 
just letting you know you need three lines of information for each pokemon, ik you were on mobile, but when you get the time make sure you make the descriptions longer
