Pseudo-Sweep

[Alex22]

I was trying to decide a lead for a different OU team, when Salamence popped into my mind. Although he didn't work for that team, the idea stuck in my head, so I decided to build a team based on a Salamence that would weaken the other team so others could sweep.
Team Building
So I had my Salamence lead. I needed another Pokemon to clean up after him. AgiliGross struck me as perfect.
I then wanted a backup to Metagross, that also had some special bulk. I decided on Dragon Dance Tyranitar
After that I got stuck, so I decided on a pokemon that can fit in almost any team, Choice Band Scizor
I needed a wall, but because I am usually a staller, I've gotten kinda sick of all the standards like SkarmBliss. I decided on Cradily, which is a Special defensive beast in sandstorm.
I chose Mew almost as an afterthought, but as you will see, it really makes this team.

Pokemon:
Salamence Naive
Life Orb
252 Speed, 126 ATK, 126 SP ATK
Outrage
Draco Meteor
Earthquake
Fireblast

Although this guy is officially my lead, I often change it in team preview. He's incredibly fun to use. Usually after I use Draco Meteor, blissey will come in. I then Outrage or Earthquake and just laugh. I don't imagine myself replacing him, but help for the set would be appreciated.

Mew Bold
Leftovers
252 HP 126 D 126 Special D
Thunder Wave
Heal Bell
Swords Dance
Baton Pass
The backbone of this team. With three viable physical sweepers to switch into, and excellent defenses, this guy just clicks. I go into a wall with little attacking power, or a sweeper, I'm not afraid of. I t wave, then swords dance as many times as I can, then Baton Pass into Ttar, Metagross, or occasionally Mence or Scizor. Heal bell is useful if one of the sweepers gets burned
Tyranitar Adamant
Life Orb
252 Atk 252 Speed, 4 HP
Dragon Dance
Stone Edge
Crunch
Earthquake

Ttar is one of my favorite pokes, so it surprises me that I don't love it on this team. It is effective enough, especially when passed a SD, but I would like to replace it, possibly with a special sweeper. I'm also considering Scarf Ttar, my favorite poke of all time

Metagross Adamant
Life Orb
252 Atk 252 Speed, 4 HP
Agility
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Zen Headbutt
The bread to Mew's butter. If Metagross can get an agility, and a couple of SD, then the battle is pretty much done. This set is very effective.

Cradily Careful
Leftovers
252 HP 252 SP DF, 4 HP
Curse
Recover
Rock Slide
Earthquake
I used to hate this, but its grown on me. It is another excellent candidate for a SD.

Scizor Adamant
Choice Band
252 ATK, 252 SPD, 4 D
U-Turn
Superpower
Bullet Punch
Pursuit
Very good, but not exceptional for this team. (On another one of my teams, it's the best) Its definitely good, and I can keep it, but I'd be open for a replacement

Threats:
Anything that can KO Mew easily
Substitute Users
Entry Hazards
Skarmory
Hippowdon
Infernape
Flygon

Thoughts:
Cradily is replacable. I could maybe replace Ttar or Scizor. I badly need a special sweeper, as two moves on Mence doesn't cut it.

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Take a look at the RMT archive to see what kind of descriptions we are looking for. PM me the fixed descriptions and I'll unlock this thread.
