Hi there, I see that you're new to Smogon! Make sure you read how to make a RMT. Also, try and add descriptions, so team raters can have a better sense on what you want your pokemon to do/what roles they play on your team.

On the team... Sceptile is not really good in higher tiers, as it is outclassed by many other grass types, such as Celebi, Mega Venusaur, and Ferrothorn. Since you don't have a mega evolution yet, maybe try adding Mega Venusaur over Sceptile?

Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll (Thick Fat)
IVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpDef
Nature: Calm / Bold
- Synthesis
- Giga Drain
- Leech Seed
- Sludge Bomb

Also, why Wish+Defog Togekiss? Maybe this supportive set might be better as it spreads paralysis and makes it easier for Gyarados or Aegislash to sweep, as they are not extremely fast:

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Def
Calm Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere
- Roost

Air slash allows Togekiss to be annoying and it has a 60% chance of flinching due to Serene Grace. Aura Sphere hits Steel-type pokemon that would otherwise take pitiful damage from Air Slash.

Good luck with your team!

For my Sceptile, I really like his ability where he looses an item, it doubles his speed. I've been thinking to replace him though as I found that leaf storm wasnt realiable at all. For togekiss, I needed someone with defog to clear our hazards for my talonflame and wish was also for healing my talonflame. Thanks for the suggestions, all help is appreciated
