OU Rate my team

I'm ShinyRelicanth on the pokemon online server. I do consistently well, winning around 75% or so matches and would like a rate please. thanks.

Latios (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Thunderbolt
- Psyshock

Good old Latios. This thing is a complete monster, OHKOing about 90% of the OU metagame. Surf and thunderbolt are for when i can't deal with a special attack drop, and psyshock is for blissey. Ive been debating with that over trick, and i switch the 2 moves every now and then. No Hidden power fire due to speed loss against threats Gengar.


Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Protect


My lead. Sets up stealth rock and leech seeds opponents for annoyance forcing switches. Can even survive tyranitar fire blasts, who is a common lead in today's metagame. Also takes common outrages on the switch.

Conkeldurr (M) @ Flame Orb
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Mach Punch
- Drain Punch
- Stone Edge
- Payback


Acts as a choice bander with no locked in move. This thing hits hard, and is my only true counter to the ever so popular Excadrill. Drain punch makes up for burn damage, Stone edge hits hard, and payback is for ghosts like Gengar and Chandulure.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 224 SDef / 32 Spd
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Body Slam
- Iron Head
- Wish
- Protect


My special wall/annoyer (the best annoyer in the game, hands down) and my one true counter to Reuniclus. You know the deal, body slam until opponent is paralyzed then Iron head. Wish off any extra damage, or pass it to others. Last slot is difficult. I used to run Fire punch for Magnezone, and disable Gengar, but it's just not that powerful. Then there is also Stealth rock, then I can run spikes on ferrothorn, but protect is in my opinion one of the best moves in the game, so I kept that. This guy replaced Thundurus, who used to be an anti lead/nasty plotter, but Reuniclus destroyed my team otherwise.

Slowbro (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Psychic
- Flamethrower
- Slack Off


My physical wall who takes many common hits well from physical threats. I used to run thunderwave, but with the addition of Jirachi, i felt it was unecessary and an additional coverage move would be better. Scald tries burning physical threats. This guy switches in and out a lot, which is great due to regenerator. This guy needs more love, he really is a lot better then people think.

Garchomp (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Rock Slide

My revenge killer, and the main counter to Volcarana. Volcarana will quiver dance on my switch, then I will outspeed it and outrage/rock slide it for the OHKO (rock slide is for when rocks aren't up, and Stone edge's accuracy screwed me over a lot)

My main concerns are Drizzle teams, Excadrill without Conkeldurr, and Reunicus without Jirachi. Let me know what you guys think, and changes you think should be made (been debating over Rotom W over slowbro, but low HP worries me) and also an eviolite Porygon 2 seems intersting.
 
Making it look a little more appealing would get you more rates or else people won't bother rating your team.

First, I would really recommend removing that Flame Orb from Conkeldurr for Leftovers. Flame Orb will only weaken you from damage and the extra power isn't at all that necessary.

Scizor seems to be a huge threat to this team as a Swords Dance can pose a big problem. Thus, I would really recommend Jellicent over Slowbro. Without Jellicent, you're not with to Bug, so you won't lose to Scizors. Here's the set:

Jellicent @ Leftovers -- Water Absorb
Nature: Bold - EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spd
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Taunt
- Scald

Now, your team lacks anything to deal with those Substitute Swords Dancing Garchomp and Dragon Dancing Dragonites. I would really recommend repalcing your Ferrothorn for Bronzong. Here's the set:

Bronzong @ Leftovers -- Levitate
Nature: Sassy - EVs: 252 HP /164 Def / 92 SDef
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power Ice
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
 
ok i see. Do you think having jirachi and bronzong on same team is bad or irrelevant? if so what should i replace it with?

edit also is having conkeldurr and bronzong on the same team bad since bronzong counters excadrill well (never realized bronzong was so good lol)

It is pretty bad because you're more weak to Magnezone. I would recommend replacing that Jirachi for Blissey instead. As you already have Latios to deal with CM Recover Reuniclus. Blissey can beat TR Reuniclus. Here's the set:

Blissey @ Leftovers -- Natural Cure
Nature: Bold - EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
- Flamethower
- Toxic
- Protect
- Wish
