XY OU Rate my team?

New team, working well so far.

Smaug (Charizard-Mega-Y) @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Drought
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Air Slash
- Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
- Roost

Ever since the start of X/Y, I've always thought of Charizard Y as one of the best pokes early on in the game, the EV spread I chose was to make this thing a special sweeper, and the nature is jolly cause I really think that Charizard Y has enough Sp. Atk. Charizard Y also has a lot of coverage, I prefered the Air Slash over the Solar Beam just because of that 30% chance to flinch a pokemon.

Wattson (Electivire) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Motor Drive
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Punch
- Power-Up Punch
- Earthquake
- Wild Charge

I was just watching some pokemon FFA/Wifi Battles(DKD, Pimpnite, ShadyPenguinn, etc.) and I realized that Electivire is just a great pokemon overall, it has awesome coverage, it learns all the elemental punches, but I didn't want to do that since I feel earthquake and wild charge give more damage and have the same accuracy, and Power-Up Punch is just to boost my Atk stats even more and Electivire is what this team is built around.

Grinning (Gengar) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sludge Bomb
- Shadow Ball
- Dazzling Gleam
- Hypnosis

Gengar is part of my core, built around Electivire, it has levitate so that already gives me an immunity to ground, along with my Charizard Y. I run this set using hypnosis first turn, considering I'm almost assured survival on the first turn. After that I either switch or I just hit it with any of my moves. Fairy is becoming a really popular type now, and I feel I need Sludge Bomb just for that, also hit's grass hard. Shadow Ball for STAB and Dazzling Gleam is just coverage against Scarf Chomps, etc.

Washington (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 212 Def / 252 SpA / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Pain Split
- Will-O-Wisp

This Rotom-W set is standard, except for the EV's. (BTW thanks to ThePack for helping with the spread for this.) This Rotom is built to be my defensive tank, after I realized that I infact need some bulk on this team. Will-O-Wisp is just to help my defensive side even better, and Pain Split to gain back some HP, Volt Switch as switch initiative, and Hydro Pump for that powerful STAB attack.

Breloominati (Breloom) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Mach Punch
- Bullet Seed
- Spore
- Rock Tomb

My Breloom is a big part of my core, having Bullet Seed to cover those ground types, Rock Tomb is for any flying type pokes that can OHKO me, which is why I added a Focus Sash to my Breloom, the spread is for this Breloom to be my main physical sweeper, along with or after Electivire is dead. I have Mach Punch for priority and Spore just to stop any sweeps or setups.

Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 200 HP / 56 Atk / 252 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Pursuit
- Superpower
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn

Scizor was a replacement for my Ambipom that was originally on this team. This Scizor was built to be a Specially Defensive tank, also this Scizor gives me switch initiative with U-Turn, I can Pursuit trap ghost/psychic types, Bullet Punch for priority, and I also have Superpower on there for coverage purposes. Choice Band is on there just to up my damage a bit more.

First of all is that I like the Electivire Set it has lots of coverage. I think bullet seed is better stab for technician breloom. Your team is very fragile so i recommend running tank set rotom-w instead and Technician Scizor> Technician Ambipom.

Insignificant:
i love the nickname for breloom xD
Breloominati hahaha
 
A mod is probably going to mention this shortly, but every Pokemon needs at least three lines of description in an RMT.

Personally, though, this is a pretty snazzy team with some pretty snazzy nicknames. My one suggestion is the same as jedpalkia's. You definitely need some bulk on this team.
 
Hi, dazamatrix, interesting team!
Firstly, you might want add a three line description for each of your Pokemon, detailing why you chose them and their EV spread, otherwise this thread might be locked.
While this is a cool team, it can be torn apart by Pokemon such as Belly Drum Azumarill, when rocks are up.
I would recommend changing a couple of the spreads. Firstly, I recommend you alter the Rotom-W spread to a Defensive Set with enough speed to outspeed a Jolly Azumarill [see Summary for set]. Secondly, as others have mentioned, I recommend changing Seed-Bomb to Bullet Seed, as with three hits, a Technician Bullet Seed is more powerful. I also recommend changing Swords Dance to Rock Tomb. This serves two purposes; its slows down faster Pokemon to ensure that your other Pokemon sweep, and it makes Breloom a viable check to Talonflame.
Finally, and this is rather minute, it is rarely beneficial to give Pokemon 4 Hp EVs. Doing so means that they take more damage from Stealth Rock, and Life orb. Also, the last 4 EV's on Gengar and Electivire are missing.

I also recommend, as others have suggested, Ambipom to Specially Defensive Choice Band Scizor. This allows you to Pursuit Trap Pokemon such as the Lati Twins, which can be problematic, as your most effective way to deal with them is to risk a speed tie with Gengar.

Overall, cool team! Hope this helped!

Really cool team, and I agree with the changes you've already made.

ZardY is mainly a wallbreaker, so Fire Blast > Flamethrower so you can break down your opponent's specially bulky pokemon. Solar Beam > Air Slash as it annihilates water types, and it is not very smart to rely on flinch hax.

ZardY is an excellent wallbreaker for other special attackers, and Keldeo is one of the best. I would replace Electivire with Keldeo because it can remove Chansey for ZardY. The two make an excellent offensive core that is only countered by Lati@s, and you have specially bulky Pursuit Scizor for them.

With Gengar I definitely wouldn't rely on Hypnosis's 60% accuracy. I would run either LO Gar with Destiny Bond or SubSplit or SubDisable. Check the strategy pokedex, as Gengar has many viable sets.

Rotom-W is good, change the spread to defensive so it can check what it needs to.

Breloom looks fine, awesome nickname.

Specially bulky Scizor is cool, but I'm wondering why you have 200 HP EVs instead of 248
