I really wanted to just make a balanced team to the best of my abilities so here is what I came up with. It consists of 1 setter 1 def tank 2 physical sweepers 1 special sweeper 1 spdef tank the highest rating I was able to get was around 1300. I also really want to make this team unique so suggestions for movesets and items regarding that would really make me wet while still being viable of course that's what I want the most while still making this team better in general also I don't want any gen 7 bullshit pokemon because they all look like dumb shits tbh and would really like to stomp ppl that use them.
1) Rotom-Wash is a great check for earthquake with it's levitate ability gives me ground immunity which really helps with my infernape and gengar
2)It's my specially defensive Pokémon on my team.
3) It's also my defogger which is why i run defog lol and will o wisp is really helpful with widdling down the opponent and their physical attackers too. Volt-switch and hydro pump are just general moves to have on him and help one shot landorus t and stuff.

1) Ferrothorn is a great setter in OU and it's rocky helmet + iron barbs really finish off physical sweepers with priority moves and hurt them a lot more than they hurt me ex. fake out or sucker punch. Since it's a pretty predictable pokemon to send out first round it really helps me to predict whether or not they will send in their own setter or something they wanna setup with it immediately ex. If they have a mega charizard I know one flamethrower with kill me which is why start out the game with someone like my mega pinsir and which outspeeds charizard and a return will most likely kill
2) So yea it's a pretty tanky pokemon with EVS in defense and HP
3) This has always been a pretty standard set I've known setup with stealth rocks & spikes, gyro ball for damage, and leech seed if they wanna setup

1) I didn't want all OU pokemon and gengar is a favorite of mine and helps with team balance
2) I'm shooting for a well balanced team so Gengar is a good special attacker in my opinion and helps fit the role
3) I feel good running dual stabs with shadow ball and sludge bomb good damaging moves must have on gengar. I run focus blast so I don't instantly die to a tyranitar and focus sash for the extra survivability that has helped me in the late game. Substitute helps me setup well if I know they will switch out. Although, I don't know if thunder or thunderbolt would be a better option than sludge bomb.

1) I picked clefable because I think it can setup very well with calm mind and it's amazing ability with magic guard which I find very helpful in situations with ex. Toxic stall pokemon and leech seed
2) A defensive pokemon that suit well being a tank in my team. I like to call clefable a sleeper sweeper
3) I love to use T wave for pokemon that have already setup on me and continuously go for calm minds and soft boil whenever they are paralyzed until I'm pretty much set with 3.5x spa and spd and despite resists moonblast will do a massive amount at this point (obviously

1) I picked infernape because again I didn't want all OU because that's gay and I wanted a choice something on my team so choice scarf over choice band because although infernape already has a pretty high base speed and is able to outspeed many pokemon already I thought why not just make him even speedier
2) Needed a physical sweeper and has done great work on my team so far with this set
3) Flare blitz and close combat are standard on infernape along with earthquake so not much to explain there. However, you might say why thunder punch over something like mach punch or fake out for priority or U-turn. I want my team to have some uniqueness to it so thunderpunch w/ 75 base power and iron fist giving it 90 base power I feel is pretty solid in my opinion even though it isn't enough to kill something like azumarill

1) Lastly, I see a swords dance setup and in need for a mega I chose mega pinsir a pokemon pretty good in the meta right now I believe
2) Mega, physical sweeper, the extra boost my team needed
3) Swords dance to secure an epic sweep, close combat for some heavy hitting, quick attack for priority and return because it's a high damaging flying type move in my kit
