ORAS OU Rate my Team please :D

Hi everyone! :DI was hoping to get some advice/critiquing for my Pokemon Ou Singles Team.
The main thing I want to achieve with this team is to stall out my opponent.

Suicune @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Rest
- Calm Mind
- Sleep Talk

Suicune is my special wall, (and one of my top favorite pokemon <3 )
Scald is his STAB, and only attack. And while a tad weak, it has a nice chance for a burn to help with psychical Def.
Rest is for recovering along with leftovers, and to heal any bad status like PSN PRLZ and BRN.
Sleep Talk is so he's not a passive sleeper, and will either dish out a Scald, or boost his stats with a Calm Mind.
Calm Mind is to boost up Scald so its not as weak, and to boost up his Spd as well.
He's also my switch in for any Fire, Ground, Rock, Ice, and Water types.

Ferrothorn (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Toxic
- Gyro Ball

Ferrothorn is my psychical wall, and who I open with.
Iron barbs combined with Rocky Helmet will do nice counter damage to psychical attackers.
Stealth Rock and Spikes are hazards obviously.
I went with Toxic over Thunderwave, because as a stall team, I need/want my opponents to lose health each turn.
Gyro ball is its STAB, packs a good punch, makes sure it isn't taunt bait, and a nice answer to ice types and fairys.
He's my switch in for grass types, and anything psychical.

heatran.gif

Heatran (F) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 188 SpD / 68 Spe
Calm Nature
- Lava Plume
- Will-O-Wisp
- Ancient Power
- Earth Power

Heatran is my answer to any predicted fire attacks that may be aimed at my Ferrothorn, and Air Balloon to keep her safe (if only temp) from ground attacks.
Will-O-Wisp is for BRNs to Psychical attackers and such.
Lava Plume is a nice fire STAB, Earth Power is for other fire types, and Ancient Power has a special place for flying types (glares at Talonflame)
She is my switch in for fire types, a predicted earthquake(if she still has her balloon) and steel types.

Manectric (M) @ Manectite
Ability: Lightning Rod
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Manectric is my form of Spatk offense, because you need to have at least 1 offensive Pokemon on your team incase things get a bit nasty.
Volt Switch is for a quick switch with a STAB and no worries for a pursuit counter.
Thunderbolt is his main STAB, Flamethrower is mainly for Ferrothrons and Serperiors(curse you contray) and Hidden Power Ice is for Dragons.
I only switch him in if I deem it safe to do so because of his poor Spd/Def.
He is also my revenge killer, who I switch in if one of my other Pokes faints so he can clean up.
~~~~~~

latios.gif

Latios @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Earthquake
- Roost

Latios is here to make quick work of Sp walls like Chansey and Blissey.
Life orb makes his attacks oh so evil, and roost is to recover from life orb damage.
Draco Meteor is mostly for dragons, Earthquake is mostly for Hetran, and Psyshock is to take down fighting and poison types(glares at Breloom)

Sigilyph (M) @ Flame Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Cosmic Power
- Psycho Shift
- Stored Power
- Roost

Ahh, here he is, my main wall, and a perfect switch to if things get nasty.
Cosmic Power is to raise his Def and Sdef to INSAIN levels.
And Stored power is to unleash chaos once he's maxed out.
Psycho Shift is to pass on BRNs from its flame orb to help it survive from Psychical attacks, and also incase my Opponent happens to have a Dark type Pokemon.
Roost is to recover hp so it stays alive.
This thing is an absolute monster, and I usually switch it in when I see a chance to.
~~~~~~

And that is my Pokemon Team! :D
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!
If my team is bad and sucks, then please tell me, I like getting feedback/criticism because I learn from it. :)
Have a great day and Thanks! <3​
 
Hey, it's me, John. Just kidding. My real name is Sebastian. Anyways, heres the rate.

Suicune - Suicune is pretty cool in UU, but honestly not the best in OU without the proper support. And your archtype/core doesn't support this just right! But what mon can support the core and archtype without any special support? Why landorus of corse! It does what your team just can't do! It can provide u-turn for synergy, knock off, earthquake coverage, stealth rocks and much much more! A scarf user could also do amazing for your team, incase you would like to use that instead. Both sets are here: http://pastebin.com/DjyC9qR5

Sigilyph - This damn thing can't do a thing for your team! I'm sorry, but your going to have to get rid of this stupid thing. I think you should replace it with the man, the myth, the fairy, clefable! This provides great support for your balance team! On many teams using this core clefable seems to help quite a bit. Your team really could use some anti set up (unnaware set), or another booster (calm mind set) All sets could be found here: http://pastebin.com/GR2GM4kW (calm mind is the first, and unnaware is the second, and the stealth rock set is the last)

Heatran - I think the set you are looking for is wallbreaker/bulky offensive, but I think the specially defensive set will work out much better for a team such as your own. Regardless, both sets can be found here: http://pastebin.com/37ybN4eq (The first one is the specially defensive set the second is stallbreaker)

Well that's all I have to say! I hope you enjoy!
 
As said above, I dont think Sigilyph is doing anything for your team really. I could recommend putting in something that is a wall without first having to set up, such as clefable or maybe even a knock off user, and something fast. I think weavile would be a great choice, giving you speed and a knock off user. It also has priority which you dont have.

Interesting, I will defiantly give Landorus a go and see how that works! :D
Your right about Heatran, I'll give the Spdef set a go for her. :D
And really? D: Sigilyph has worked so well for me, like, he has never let me down and he's so much fun to troll with! I will defiantly go a few runs with Clefable and see how she handles herself though, I did ask for advice after all. :D

Thank you so much for the advice and pointers dude! :D Have an awesome day!

Very true, Weavile is a force you shouldn't under estimate.
I'll play around with my team set and see how she does.
Kinda sad though, I'm getting nothing but hate feedback for Sigilyph, when he's been so useful to me. :/
Though dosn't hurt to try new sets. :D
Thanks for the pointers! Have an awesome day! :D
