The Bulky Special Attacker, Mega Venusaur - feed me seymour... :

venusaur-mega.gif

Venusaurite

EV Spread : 232 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 20 Speed / 4 Sp. Def

Modest - Chlorophyll (Thick Fat)

Moveset :
Giga Drain
Sludge Bomb
Hidden Power Fire
Synthesis
___________________________

This guy here is my bulky attacker, can take plenty of hits and dish out stellar attacks. It's hard for him to die, unless you hit him with a Brave Bird or a Psychic. He can work as a mid-game sweeper, late-game cleaner and heal himself rather easily.

____________________________

The Late-Game Sweeper, Talonflame - shock and terror! :

Choice Band
Gale Wings - Adamant

EV Spread : 48 HP / 252 Atk / 208 Speed

Moveset :
U-Turn
Brave Bird
Flare Blitz
Will-O-Wisp
___________________________

Talonflame, causes shock and terror. Plain and simple. U-Turn can hit & run and if the opponent doesn't resist it, can cause a nice chunk of damage. Brave Bird hits hard pretty much always, Flare Blitz is just what it is. This set works great, not only as a late-game sweeper but as a wallbreaker too.

The Offensive Pivot, Landorus pringles 'stache yay :
landorus-therian.gif

Leftovers
Impish - Intimidate

EV Spread : 252 HP / 64 Def / 192 Speed

Moveset :
U-turn
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
___________________________

Landorus may have a reputation for a Choice Banded/Life Orb-ed attacking beast, but his Therian Form can run a good pivot set. But he's not entirely useless on the attacking side, all the attacking moves on this set hit decent enough. He does the pivot job well and is a helpful member on the team.

___________________________

The Suicide Lead, Malamar do I really need to say anything :
malamar.gif

Leftovers
Adamant - Contrary

EV Spread : 252 Atk / 142 Speed / 114 HP

Moveset :
Superpower
Night Slash
Psycho Cut
Topsy-Turvy

___________________________

Malamar can be sweep 2-3 pokemon from the opponents team if executed properly with just two words. Contrary Superpower. Normally when Superpower hits the opponent, Attack and Defense lower by 1 stage but with Contrary, Superpower basically turns into a physical Calm Mind that hits the opponent. After you get about 2 boosts in Attack and Defense, you can OHKO Aegislash-Shield, Latios, Gengar and Bisharp. And Topsy-Turvy can cause extreme cases of lulz with Mega T-tar (if you can survive) and Charizard X. i swear if tutor moves are back in oras and malamar gets knock off...

The Wallbreaker, Keldeo friendship is magic :
keldeo-resolute.gif

Choice Specs
Timid - Justified

EV Spread : 252 SpA / 252 Speed / 4 SpD

Moveset :
Secret Sword
Hydro Pump
Hidden Power Flying
Icy Wind

___________________________

Keldeo hits really hard, even when a Pokemon resists it's Hydro Pump he can still sometimes 2HKO it. It can truly break walls like it's going out of style, not much else to say.

___________________________
And last, but certainly not least... The Bulky Physical Attacker, Scizor pinch pinch :
scizor.gif

Choice Band
Adamant - Technician

EV Spread : 252 HP / 252 Attack / 4 SpD Moveset :
U-turn
Bullet Punch
Pursuit
Superpower

______________________

This guy can take a huge chunk out of nearly any Pokemon imo, Superpower as a hit and run move is an excellent option for Scizor and Pursuit trapping is so rewarding and still hits hard, and possibly KO the opponent's Pokemon. Scizor is excellent in his role and steps out of his role at times too.

Instead of Topsy Turvy on Malamar, which is only good in a few rare instances, I'd give it Trick Room and then you can remove the speed investment and put it into HP.
 
Hey Famicom3DS cool team! I do have a few suggestions however, that I believe will greatly benefit the team. First off i'd suggest running a bit more speed on Mega Venusaur. Azumarill is a huge threat. Mega Venusaur is your only switch-in too but if Azumarill sets up a Belly Drum, if it is Jolly, it will easily be able to outspeed and pick off Mega Venusaur with +6 Playrough.

I feel like with Keldeo, Mega Venusaur, Scizor and Landorus-T you can afford to change your Talonflame from Choice Band to Sharp Beak and run a Swords Dance set. With the aforementioned pokemon all being able to deal with Tyranitar, Talonflames biggest counter, I feel that the SD set would fit perfectly and allow you an extremely nice cleaner. With this spread you outspeed Thundurus-I and at +2 you are able to knock it out with Brave Bird before it can T-wave you. With roost as reliable recovery it now also has some more survivability in games.

- Flare Blitz
- Brave Bird
- Roost
My third suggestion would be replacing Malamar with Latias. While Malamar is indeed a cool pokemon I feel that he really doesn't fit well on the team. Latias gives you a reliable way to remove hazards for Talonflame in Defog. This also gives you a reliable Charizard-Y, HP Flying Thundurus and Keldeo switch. The final move can be optional. Roost is good for longevity while Healing Wish supports a teammate just as well. The HP evs allow you to switch into any move from Keldeo and not be 2-hit k0'd!

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psyshock
- Draco Meteor
- Defog
- Roost/Healing Wish
My final suggestion is to change Icy Wind on Keldeo to Scald. This gives you an accurate water stab with no drawbacks and even a 30% chance to burn. I'd also suggest changing Hidden Power [Flying] to Hidden Power [Electric]. This gives you a reliable Gyarados check as well as hits Azumarill hard on the switch in.
