[OU] (insert funny team name here) my first RMT

BurningMan

fueled by beer
So as the Title says this is my first RMT. I played this Team very long and it came out as the best of the many Teams i constructed and i reached a CRE arround 1400 with it.
The Sets are all pretty Standart but they Work and i dont see where i could improve it, but thats what you guys are here for give me some ideas and say where i could improve the Team.

So heres the Team at a glance:

Swampert@Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252Hp 4 Atk 252 Def
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Ice Beam
Protect

Not much to say here standart Mixpert Lead and one of the best leads available. I almost always get Stealth Rocks down the first turn and even if i get taunted this guy is sturdy enough to get in later and do this job. Protect is useful for extra rounds of Leftovers recovery, to scout choiced attacks and to block Explosions from Azelf and Metagross i tried to use Roar but i very rarly need a phazer and Protect sees to fit better to him.
Outside of his Lead Job he serves as a reliable Counter for Ttar, Salmence lacking Draco Meteor, physical Dragonite, Choice Scarf Jirachi, Heatran and many others...

Scizor@CB
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 248 HP 252 Atk 8 Spe
Bullet Punch
U-Turn
Pursuit
Superpower

Another standart set and for a reason its a great scout/revenge killer/ late game cleaner and even a trapper. There are not much pokes that can do that much with just a single set. Everyone knows his purpose Priority, Scouting and Trapping unfortunate Latias, Rotom and Gengars.
Superpower is used to 0HKO Bilss and maybe killing an unlucky Magnezone or Heatran on the switch.
He is also able to revenge kill Ttar who is a pain with two pokes in the Team being weak to Pursuit.

477.png

Gliscor@Leftovers
Natur:Jolly
Evs: 244 HP 40 Def 224 Spe
Ability: Sand Veil
Taunt
Earthquake
Toxic
Roost

I love this guy he offers a fast Taunt, a fantastic typing and thanks to Roost he is hard to take down without super effective Special Attacks or critical hits.
He is my best bet against stall Teams and usually used to stop physical assaults and spread toxic.
I prefer Toxic over U-Turn as it allows me to deal easier with the bulky waters thrown in against him and to toxic stall whith roost against opponents i cant scratch with EQ.

380.png

Latias@Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Evs: 4 HP 252 Speed 252 SpA
Dragon Pulse
Thunderbolt
Surf
Calm Mind

My primary Bulky Water counter/and Special Wall and a good late game sweeper if Ttar and Scizor are gone. I dont use Recover as she got enough Bulk to get in some CM and if she dies shes usually killed by Pusuit or Status so recover wont help much and i already got leftovers for bulk.
All three attacks offer good coverage and allow me effective late Game sweeping.
Shes a usefull Gyara, Infernape, Heatran, Crocune and Breloom Counter.

Heatran@ Choice Scarf
Nature: Rash
Evs: 4 Atk 252 SpA 252 Spe
Fireblast
Earthpower
Explosion
Dark Pulse

He is a good Revenge Killer and Late Game sweeper when water Types are removed. He absorbs Will o Wisps aimed at scizor/gliscor/swampert and strikes back with boosted Fireblasts none enjoys to be send in except Blissey, which fears Explosion.
Dark Pulse is usefull to hit ghosts whith more accuary and also hits Starmie and Latias switchins hard it even offers some flinchhax if i feel lucky.
He counters Scizor, Jirachi, Celebi, opposing Heatran, Rotom, Gengar and lots of others...

Rotom-C@Choice Scarf
Nature: Timid
Evs: 4 HP 252 SpA 252 Spe
Discharge
Leafstorm
Trick
Shadowball

Another Revengekiller, thanks to his many immunitys and resistances he is easy to get in and can start to spread paralysis, cripple opponents with trick or just inflict damage.
I guess i will change Leafstorm to HP Ice as i almost never use it, maybe i even change discharge for t-bolt but i really like paralysing opponents especially if i tricked a scarf to the poke first.


So thats it.
I am happy for all useful criticism i get.
 
Hello.

You said it yourself, your team is pretty standard, though I'm also quite worried about how you deal with Skarmory and Forretress. I'm well aware that you have Heatran, but my main concern is more of having these two exploit your team with Swampert, Scizor and Latias. All three of these pokemon can be easily exploited by Forretress, while Swampert and Scizor will have trouble with Skarmory. Many current stall teams often run Scarftar as well, which is very detrimental to Rotom-a and Latias. Your team as a whole does pretty well switching into and out of threats while effectively checking them, there's just a little bit of oomph that your team would probably want to help better deal with with the spikers and stall teams that can potentially take down your team.

For starters, try out Specs on your Latias, replacing Calm Mind with Trick and running Draco Meteor over Thunderbolt. Draco Meteor is especially hard to deal with even with steels that resist it, and Trick ensures it that Blissey has to be careful while switching in. At the moment, you're going to face tough times with Blissey that switch into your Latias. You risk getting Scizor Paralyzed, or Gliscor poisoned depending on how you predict the set.

Next, if you're not going to use Leaf Storm at all then consider changing your app to Rotom-h in order to threaten steel types more, and run Will o Wisp instead. The set is essentially the same Trick Scarf variant but with Will o Wisp over Overheat. Doing so will let you burn Tyranitars on the switch in should this ever be the case.

Swampert is one of the most exploitable members of your team as it can be slept by smeargle leads and set up on with spikes, forretress can also set up, it loses to celebi, azelf, and you'll have to predict a little against metagross to avoid the explosion. Your Heatran handles Choice Scarf Jirachi and most all variants of it well enough, as Gliscor and Scizor will deal with Tyranitar as well. Perhaps something to consider over it is Tyranitar. Tyranitar has good synergy with Gliscor, gets rocks up easily, does not lose to Heatran, does better against Starmie who looks a bit threatening to your team, and has the potential to be very threatening.

Tyranitar @ Lum Berry
Adamant 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 HP
Taunt / Crunch / Stealth Rock / Stone Edge

This Tyranitar, while still slow, uses Taunt effectively to stop Forry and Swampert leads from setting up on you, which they do very often. This can also stop Skarm on switch ins from spiking up on you, and does very well against Stall teams thanks to it.

Good luck with the team.
 
thanks for the ideas mate :)

Changed swampert to Ttar and it seems to fit very good with the rest of the team.

also changed rotom-c to rotom-h and put specs and draco meteor on latias.
I am thinking about changing Heatran for Infernape/Lucario and maybe even Empoleon to have an effective Late Game Sweeper.
