Made this team recently and have been having some problems so I decided to make one of these. Got the nicknames from random talk shows I thought of, plus I couldn't think of anything else...
Team At A Glance
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragonite aka Oprah Winfrey
@Life Orb
Naive - 14Atk/244Sp.atk/252Spd - Inner Focus
~Draco Meteor
~Earthquake
~Extremespeed
~Fire Blast/ Thunder Punch
This guy right here is the main of the team, all built around him. He makes as a pretty great lead taking out most of the popular leads with some ease. The set is to maximize speed taking out other lead Dragonites but with still enough Atk to 2HKO Metagross leads. Draco Meteor will 2HKO lead Swamperts, and break lead Azelfs and Aerodactyles sashes to KO with Extremespeed. I've been using fire blast for Roserade and others, but I have been considering Thunderpunch because Gyarados can be a real problem for me if it sets up.Need help there.
Machamp aka Maury
@Leftovers
Adamant - 252Atk/252HP/6Spd - No Guard
~Dynamic Punch
~Payback/Stone Edge
~Rest
~Sleep Talk
He's my status absorber and he does a good job of it. If I predict any status I just switch to him and have him take it then rest it off later. Key idea here was to just maximize HP and Atk. Dynamic Punch great STAB plus never misses cause of No Guard and 100% chance of confusion = WIN. Payback is there to counter Rotom forms, Celebi, or Latias that come in but I am considering Stone Edge for Dragons and Gyarados.
Skarmory aka Tyra Banks
@Shed Shell
Impish - 252HP/64Atk/196Def - Keen Eye
~Brave Bird
~Roost
~Whirlwind
~Stealth Rock
Physical wall. Takes hits like a beast and can dish them out a little as well. Shed Shell to avoid Magnezones. Brave Bird Heracross and others, and the other moves are kind of self explanatory.
Tentacruel aka Squidward
@Leftovers
Calm - 252HP/148Def/110Sp.Def - Clear Body
~Rapid Spin
~HP Electric
~Surf
~Ice Beam
This guy is the odd ball of the team seeing as he is the only one without a talk show host name, oh well lol. I decided not to have toxic spiked on him because I think it is a waste seeing as how most of the common pokes in the metagame are either steel, or can levitate making me feel as if it is pointless so I ditched it for some more Gyarados coverage. Rapid Spin takes away spikes, Surf to hit with STAB, and Ice Beam for Dragons and Grass.
Gliscor aka Jerry Springer
@Choice Scarf
Adamant - 42HP/252Atk/216Spd - Hyper Cutter
~Earthquake
~Stone Edge
~Night Slash
~Ice Fang/ Fire Fang
Revenge killer here. I don't think a lot of people run choice scarf gliscor, so I decided to. Orignally I had a LO Dugtrio here, but looked into Gliscor and saw that he had some potential. Since people usually don't see scarfed Gliscor he comes in and takes a lot of things by surprise. Earthquake for Infernapes, Electivires, etc., Stone Edge for Zapdos and Gyarados, Night Slash for Gengar, and Azelf, and Ice Fang for FLygon and friends. Considering Fire Fang for more Scizor damage.
Azelf aka DrPhil
@Life Orb
Naive - 6Atk/252Sp.Atk/252Spd - Levitate
~Psychic
~Grass Knot
~Fire Blast
~Explosion
This is basically my late game sweeper. Comes in earlier if needed and explodes when it feels like it 8). Max Spd and Sp. Atk with the rest in Atk. Psychic is the obvious choice for STAB, I like Fire Blast over flamethrower for the extra damage output, and Grass Knot for Swamperts, may change for Thunderbolt or something though.
Possible switches are Tentacruel for Dusknoir or Spiritomb, Gliscor for standard MixNape, and Azelf for Scarf Trick Starmie
Any help will be considered and very much appreciated :D

. Anywayz Squidward could easily be turned to a special wall with the right nature and slight adjustments to the evs.He could also really use the move toxic and possibly get rid of the rapid spin as the enemy can just re-stealth rock,spike,whatever after you rapid spin basically wasting that turn.If you wanted you could make it double the threat to the enemy's sanity by adding in supersonic and giga drain while leaving surf for a good STAB and replacing leftovers for wide lens (to ensure supersonic's hit).Thus you would have a great StallWall
