The Very first two pokemon are used to start the pace of the battle, annoying my opponent by not letting them set up entry hazards while putting some of my own up. So here is my offensive team:

461.png

Weavile @Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Hasty
252 Attack 252 Speed 6HP
Moveset - Taunt/Fake Out/Brick Break/Ice Punch

Okay, so this is an anti-lead weavile set used to break leads such as smeargle, aerodactyl, and even the occasional T-tar or Hippowdon. First off, I'd use Fake out to break the focus sash on aerodactyls, and even just cause some damage right off the bat. Taunt would be the answer to leads that set up rocks/spikes or use a sub - switch set. Basically, this is an anti lead.

Skarmory @Leftovers
Ability: Keen Eye
Nature: Impish
252 HP 252 Def
Moveset - Stealth Rock/Spikes/Whirlwind/Roost

This Skarmory is just used to set up entry hazards. I usually use it close to the end of a battle just to piss my opponent off. It does considerable damage and is great at walling. It is definitely difficult to take out due to its high defense and with leftovers, healing may not be a problem. I am thinking of swithing roost with aerial ace, but i am not entirely sure.

Dugtrio @Choice Scarf
Ability Arena Trap
Nature: Adamant
252 attack 252 Speed 6HP
Moveset - EQ/Stone Edge/Aerial Ace/Sucker Punch

Choice Scarf takes care of Dugtrio's relatively slow speed and helps take advantage of the attack and speed EV's. Its used as a trapper which can nail almost any pokemon that switches out. Of course, there is suicune/milotic, but i can switch out while the opponent cannot.

Absol @Life Orb
Ability: Super Luck
Nature: Adamant
252 Attack 252 Speed 6HP
Moveset - SD/Sucker Punch/Psycho Cut/Superpower

Life Orb Absol is a beast. It is the team's primary sweeper and can be used to OHKO the widely used T-Tar and Metagross(Given that it has not used agility once) with Superpower, even without a +1 SD.

Snorlax @Leftovers
Ability: Immunity
Nature: Adamant
168 HP 120 Def 220 Special Defense
Moveset - Curse EQ Body Slam Rest

Curselax is used to pose a threat to many foes, including specsmence, given that curse had been used at least once. Even so, Body Slam has the potential to paralyze mence and other threats. Lucario can do some massive damage, but with plus 1 curse, i can still be able to take a hit and OHKO it with EQ.

Gallade @Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast
Nature: Adamant
252 Attack 252 Speed 6 HP
Moveset - Close Combat/Psycho Cut/SD/Ice Punch

Life Orb Gallade with this EV spread and +1 SD would be able to almost match the power of an IV bred Lucario with 252 attack EVs. Close Combat, despite lowering defensive values, is the powerhouse of this set, especially with Life Orb and +1 SD. Even though using this set, it is a force to be reckoned with, as it can take out celebi, yanmegas, etc.

So i would appreciate constructive criticism and tips, as this is my first RMT.
Thank You In Advanced.
 
I suggest putting a Choice Band on Dugtrio because it is already incredibly fast and with the scarf it is too much. Give it Jolly nature with a Choice Band. Oh and one thing just in case you don't know, don't use aerial Ace on fighting types because Earthquake does more damage because of STAB. Just saying. Good Luck.
 
I'm not entirely sure what tier you're using, as half your team is UU and the rest OU. If it is OU then this is in the wrong section, and if not then you need to state what environment you'll be using this in, as it helps with threat consideration.

I would give it a rate anyway but I am too unfamiliar with OU pokemon to be of any use, I'm afraid.
