Offensive - my first RMT [OU RMT]

[Rusty Turtle]

Hey! This is my first team I've made. I just recently entered the realm of competitive battling, and most of my experience is with doubles. Here's an offensive team I made, please criticize it as best you can.

Metagross @ Occa Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/236 Atk/12 Def/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Stealth Rock

Standard lead Metagross. I usually run Meteor Mash over Earthquake, but Earthquake is getting more kills for me.

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP/108 Atk/100 Def/144 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Taunt
- Stone Edge

My bulky water. I chose Gyarados because he dishes out a large amount of damage, and he taunts well.

Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Crunch

Lucario is my SD sweeper, designed to crush walls like Blissey.

Infernape (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 64 Atk/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Close Combat
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Standard Nasty Plot MixApe. My old Infernape run Grass Knot over Nasty Plot, but Nasty Plot is working a lot better for me and I barely ever used Grass Knot anyway.

Jolteon (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Shadow Ball
- Signal Beam

I chose SpecsJolt because I know how effective he can be, having had many of my teams owned by him. Signal Beam is there to own Celebi.

Azelf @ Expert Belt
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Psychic
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot

Based on my experiences, it's a shame that Azelf is so commonly wasted as a lead because an offensive Azelf can be a brilliant sweeper. I'm running a Nasty Plot version, and with the moveset, Azelf can do a lot of damage.

I'm extremely impatient, and I like to hit big, and fast. In competitive battling, this style of play is probably foolish. Please help me optimize my team.

This thread is being locked under rule 3:

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

If you fix the descriptions properly, PM me the changes and I'll unlock your thread.
