XY OU Rate my XY OU Team

[Glaedrix]

Hi guys ! I am Glaedrix ( If that isn't obvious by now :p). This is my first RMT and I hope you guys will help as even though it has won a lot of battles , it has also lost quite a few.
So anyway all these pokemon are made to deal damage. I mean in no way are they going to set up Stealth Rocks, Toxics, Trick Rooms, and all the other things teams usually have. Instead I have gone to make a team in which each pokemon should have the capability to kill one/two pokemon and die

Sylveon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Shadow Ball
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Ground]

Basically Sylveon is my lead. Like all other good Sylveons Hyper Voice is my main STAB attack. The EVs in Health are because it needs the bulk to stay alive since it is so slow. The other moves are just if I have 2-3 pokemon left and need to hit something which doesn't get affected by Hyper Voice.

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Roost
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch

Dragonite is kind of like some sponge for just absorbing all the hits. I've gone with Fire Punch since I have no other Fire moves on my team. I switch into Dragonite whenever some Flying/Ground/Fire/etc physical attackers are continuously spamming moves like Brave Bird and Flare Blitz.

Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast
- Pain Split

Gengar is one of my defining forces in this team (imo). I won many battles due to this pokemon. Whenever a pesky Steel/Fighting/Normal/Poison/etc pokemon are pestering my other pokemon, I switch into Gengar and start spamming Focus Blasts, Sludge Waves, or Shadow Balls. Whenever I am at 10% health and the opposing pokemon has quite a good amount of health I use Pain Split.

Excadrill @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin

Thank you Puzzle King for this setup :)
This is a pretty standard Excadrill set. It is mainly for replacing Landorus - T (Open the Old Pokemon thing) as a scouter/defogger for my Dragonite with Multiscale. It is also used for dealing with Fairy pokemon like Sylveon and Clefable especially when they have a Stall set.

Old Pokemon (Landorus - T)

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Explosion

Landorus is for scouting and dealing damage to Steel/Rock/Flying and most importantly Electric. I usually use Earthquakes but if it is a Flying type I use a Stone Edge and switch back. Explosion is when I am low on health and have 1-2 pokemon left. I don't know whether I should switch the choice Band for a Scarf or not :p.

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Grass Knot
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam

Greninja is my fastest pokemon and I usually use it at last when there is only 2 pokemon left. I use Dark Pulse instead of Extrasensory because I feel that I don't really need to use it much. It also acts as a anti-dragon when Sylveon is dead due to Protean + Ice Beam.

Heracross-Mega @ Heracronite
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def
- Bullet Seed
- Pin Missile
- Rock Blast
- Close Combat

My Mega pokemon : Mega Heracross exists in this team for two reasons : It's Mega Attack Stat and the fact that it has Skill Link and can learn some really good moves to complement it's ability. I put EVs into HP to provide some bulk to make up for it's speed (same as Sylveon). It's bulk also enables it to fight some Psychic and Fire pokemon (Not sure about Psychic but it can fight against Fire). It is usually used in the middle of the game.

That's about it ! Any and all help will be appreciated a lot.
I know this team has a lot of weaknesses and problems but so far I haven't encountered anything too major. The hardest thing I've come across is when a Dragonite spams DD one too many times ! :)

Even though I lost (I made some bad plays).

Hey Bro, nice team. You rated my team so I guess I'll rate yours too.
Here are my suggestions:

Life Orb over Wise Glasses on Greninja. The boost from the Life Orb is significantly higher than that of the Wise Glasses and allows for a lot more OHKOs and 2HKOs. The sacrifice of HP every turn is worth it is a small price to pay.

Ice Punch over Fire Punch on allows you to nail fast Dragons an Ground Types on the switch (e.g. Garchomp and Lando-T)

Also, I see your running a Multiscale mon and no defogger, and while Lando-T is a HUGE offensive presence in your team, maybe you could try switching it or Sylveon out for Excadrill. Here's the set:

Excadrill @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin

Or maybe switching out Greninja for Starmie, another good Rapid Spinner:

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Analytic
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Psyshock
- Ice Beam
- Rapid Spin

Hope it helps!

I think you need a revenge killer or priority moves, so extreme speed in dragonite is a good option.

Thanks man ! It really does help ! :)
I will replace my Lando - T with the Exca you suggested since I am not really keen on letting Sylveon go (It kills almost anything that comes my way). That WiseGlasses thing yeah that was stupid :p I'm gonna change it now :). The Ice Punch thing I am gonna try it soon since Fire Punch helps me beat some annoying Ferrothorns but I am going to change it soon since you enlightened me about the switch so thanks !

I know I have been considering it but I don't know what move to replace :p

 

[Lemonade]

Don't really have a full rate but I do not recommend Espeed on your current Dnite, as unboosted and 0 Attack is really weak.

Ex:
0 Atk Dragonite Extreme Speed vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Talonflame: 98-116 (32.9 - 39%) -- 99.8% chance to 3HKO
0 Atk Dragonite Extreme Speed vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Thundurus: 99-117 (33.1 - 39.1%) -- 99.9% chance to 3HKO

CB max attack almost does double

Thanks for the input :)

On a side note, I am gonna make a few changes today and see whether it is for better or for worse. Will post the results tomorrow :).

Hi guys ! I have an idea to replace one of the pokemon but I dunno what to replace.
This is the pokemon :

Scolipede @ Black Sludge
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Substitute
- Megahorn
- Baton Pass

The idea is to lead with it, get Speed Boosts and Baton Pass it to MHera, Dragonite or Sylveon depending on the situation.
I need to decide what to replace it with.
