The Anti-Lead
jirachi.png

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/178 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Trick
- U-turn
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
---
Jirachi is one of the best leads I have ever played so far. Iron Head is a constant 2HKO on Aero and Azelf leads. Both those leads will start with Taunt. Trick over the Scarf to bulk leads like Hippo/Swamp. SR after the Trick. UTurn to get out of there. Considering a Punch over UTurn though. Maybe Fire Punch to counter Steels.

SubTran

Heatran (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Toxic
- Substitute
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
---
I didnt want to use ScarfTran, so I chose this. This is capable of messing teams up badly. Substitute to block status coming my way. Toxic to help with Special Walls. Considering a bulky SleepTalk Set over this.

BulkGyara

Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP/108 Atk/100 Def/146 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Taunt
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
---
I had 3 things that resisted Lightning so Gyarados was a good choice. Chose a Bulkier build to keep it alive. Taunt to deny the status effect. Considering Substitute over it though. DD on switchs. Waterfall for damage and accuracy. Stone Edge to hit Flyers like Zapdos and Salamence.

BulkyWash

Rotom-w @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/170 Def/88 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Will-o-wisp
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
---
Needed something to switch in on the Rapid Spin so Wash was a good choice. Gave it a bulky set so it can survive. WoW for a Status against Physical Sweeper like TTar or Gyara. Hydro Pump to kill Tar and bulky Grounds. TBolt and Shadow Ball for STAB.

The Steel Killer

Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Flash Cannon
- Signal Beam
---
Pretty standard right here. Needed something so Scizor and Lucario wouldnt destroy this team. Signal Beam was a good choice over Explosion. It hurts Latias badly. Flash Cannon for Rocks. TBolt for Stab and HP Fire for Steels that I trap.

The U-Turn Star
flygon.png

Flygon (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 82 HP/252 Atk/176 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Outrage
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake
---
The star of this team. I love the fast UTurn. This thing is responsible for denting every pokemon on the opponents team. I wish this thing was Bug/Dragon. It would be Uber over Garchomp. Gave it a Physical Set. Fire Punch for Steels. Outrage and EQ for Stab.

don't use u-turn on swords dance scizor, or you will lose your boosts
and the dragons will be hit hard by shadow ball anyway, and you can revenge with scizor or flygon, so why not consider hp fire for gengar to hit scizor trying to get you with pursuit?
 
You seem to have a bit of a water weakness. I could see a CM cune or a cropert tearing this team apart pretty easily, especially if your flygon were to die. Nothing on your team resists water type.

I think a choice band on your flygon will get a LOT more out of him too. If you just send him on targets that he scares away, there isn't much need to go faster since he'll put a much bigger hole in whatever switches in, and you'll get a lot more use out of U-turn that way.

I think your Tyranitar could be put to MUCH more use if he were running a CB set or a DD set. Not only would he prove a much more immediate threat, something you want to do on a team thats purpose is to force switches, but he would also give you a good backup sweeper should your flygon die.

I think a Spinning Starmie would do well on your team. It would give you something to deal with the water types your team needs to deal with most of the water types it will face, and can spin away rocks on your own side, something that would give you a great advantage considering you'll be doing a lot of switching as well.

I'm not sure what Scizor is doing for your team. I think a SD set could work as a lure, but I don't know what he'd lure. He's a great pokemon, but he's only as good as he's applied, and I don't know how he'd be aplied.

I think Skarmory is the only pokemon I didn't address, but I think he's fine.

Sorry if the comments are all out of order, I did this over the course of about an hour. I hope this helps :D
 
Have you considered Fire Blast over Fire Punch on Flygon? Here's some calculations for ya:

252 Attack Adamant Flygon's Fire Punch vs. Standard 252 HP/80 Def/92 SpDef Sassy Bronzong: 36.98% - 43.79%
252 Attack Adamant Flygon's Fire Punch vs. Standard 252 HP/176 Def Impish Skarmory: 27.54% - 32.34%

As you can see, Fire Punch isn't going to 2HKO Bronzong or even 3HKO Skarmory. Thus:

0 SpAttack Naughty Flygon's Fire Blast vs. Standard 252 HP/80 Def/92 SpDef Sassy Bronzong: 31.95% - 37.57%
0 SoAttack Naughty Flygon's Fire Blast vs. Standard 252 HP/176 Def Impish Skarmory: 58.08% - 68.56%

Fire Blast does slighty less on Bronzong, but would likely score a 2HKO on Skarm. But IMO, the trade off of slightly less damage to Bronzong is worth the possible 2HKO on Skarm.
 
As a player who used a Flygon to great effect, I'll say this; I used a LO Flygon and one thing that happed over and over was exposing my Jirachi to an opposing EQ (usually Metagross), switching to Flygon making EQ miss, having them switch to Skarmory as my EQ missed and thinking I was scarfed. This let me OHKO Skarmory with Fire Blast thanks to Stealth Rock and some EVs. I cannot stress how powerful LO Flygon can be simply due to the surprise factor. It will net you an easy KO if you are a smart predictor and even if you aren't, you usually draw something you can destroy.

Now, I know you love Scarf U-Turn as it is very fun and useful but with ScarfZone and Jirachi, you have like 1.5 Scarfs already but nothing that can immediately threaten and break walls. I hope you give LO Flygon a try, in case you haven't witnessed the trouble it can cause yourself. PS: It works even better if you can Trick an Iron Ball onto Zapdos, Bronzong, Gyarados, Rotom, Gengar, etc.

Cheers!
