RMT #1-Stat Balance

ok so here's my first rmt for my best team, please tell me tips!. This team has a member invested in each stat (except HP and 2 in physical attack)

Gallade @ Leftovers

Ability: Justified
EVs: 240 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef / 12 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Shadow Sneak
- Psycho Cut
- Swords Dance
My main physical attacker. Leftovers over Life Orb because Gallade can also be pretty bulky. Drain Punch restores HP as well as providing STAB. Psycho Cut is just insane STAB. Shadow Sneak provides priority. Get one Swords Dance and then Gallade has the potential to sweep a team without a physical wall.

Staraptor (M) @ Choice Band

Ability: Reckless
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Quick Attack
He's My all out attacker who takes down MEGAs!! No set up required at all. Brave Bird is STAB as well as making use of Reckless. Close Combat takes care of steel types as well as type coverage. U-turn gets him out of a tough spot as well as killing off Malamar, Who would otherwise kill my team. Quick attack is that normal priority. But, when rocks come out, Staraptor's in trouble.

Goodra (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 160 Atk / 252 HP / 96 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Sludge Wave
- Dragon Tail
- Fire Blast
- Power Whip
First of my Tanks, Starts off with a SPECIAL TANK. As soon as saw the Kalos Pseudo-Legendary I was sceptic, look at it! I thought I would never use it, but then I used in Random and found a new friend. I switch in to Spore and wreck. Sludge Wave waits on a fairy switch in and kills. Dragon Tail ruins set ups and can also help me get a free switch turn. Fire Blast ruins Scizor and Ferrothorn, which I have no other cover for. Power Whip also gives me grass to take care of threats like Quagsire and Barbacle.

Swampert (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Damp
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- Scald
- Ice Beam
My first Pokemon gets a spot on my team. Well, sort of. All of his stats are pretty balanced. I set up stealth rocks with my lead. Earth Power is My STAB. Scald is my second STAB which burns, my first status. Ice Beam Takes care of Dragons and Gliscors who try to set up. Paired with Goodra, this guy is a force to be reckoned with.

Regirock @ Leftovers

Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Def / 248 HP / 8 Atk
Impish Nature
- Iron Defense
- Rock Tomb
- Thunder Wave
- Power-Up Punch
Complete Physical WALL!! Already tanking physical hits, Iron Defense Makes me a force to be reckoned with, Especially when I've set up a Thunder Wave. Power-Up Punch raises my attack as well as damaging. Rock Tomb over Stone Edge as I had a PP issue and the accuracy as well as the added affect of lowering speed.

Ampharos (M) @ Ampharosite
ampharos-mega.gif
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 SAtk / 212 HP / 4 SDef / 40 Spd
Modest Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Volt Switch
- Agility
- Heal Bell
Here is the highest special attack allowed in ou, as well as my favourite electric type. Dragon Pulse makes use of my high special attack as well as STAB for the new DRAGON TYPE. Volt Switch is my electric STAB as well as free switch after heal bell. As his speed isn't high, Agility gives me edge while resisting stuff with the Zekrom typing. Heal Bell is to get rid of status on my team.

Thats my team!! Please rate and Tip me!!
 
Hello there, nice team you have there

Use Torrent instead of Damp on swampert since I've only seen one pokemon ever using explosion in 400+ OU battles, and the boost will do you well at low HP.

Im a bit confused by Rock Tomb on Regirock (same with Power-up Punch/Iron Defense), since those boosts/losses can are lost by switching/hazing. IMO Rock Slide is superior since speed loss that isn't paralysis/Sticky Web isn't really worth it because you can just switch out and presto no more speed loss. If you want a very reliable physical wall, you could go with Ferrothorn (all it adds is a fire weakness, removes another grass/water/ground weakness), and can provide hazard support/recovery with Leech Seed, forcing switches. Rocky Helmet and Iron Barbs also do a ridiculous amount of damage on physical attackers, and Goodra can take a fire attack aimed at Ferrothorn if need be. Or you could run Chansey in its place, get Wish/Aromatherapy support along with T-wave for Paralysis or Toxic for stalling, along with one of the most annoying walls to face (also removes need for Heal Bell on Ampharos, opening up room for more coverage).

Speaking of Ampharos, I would recommend going either full Agility set, or full Cleric (Leaning towards Agility since Chansey makes a really good wall/Cleric), because without recovery it will get worn down by switching/oncoming attacks, and it is absolutely walled by Excadrill with its current set, who O/2HKOs most of your team (staraptor doesn't appreciate repeated SR switch-ins or Recoil, so playing around that could leave you pretty vulnerable from hazards).
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Ampharos: 356-420 (92.7 - 109.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Swampert: 202-238 (50 - 58.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Gallade: 262-309 (77 - 90.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery (It can the OHKO 4HP 252Atk 252Spd with Drain Punch, but any set outspeeds you)
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Goodra: 247-292 (64.3 - 76%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock (Goodra cannot OHKO with Fire Blast)
Even Regirock has a decent chance at getting 2HKOed
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Regirock: 162-192 (44.6 - 52.8%) -- 80.9% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
Focus Blast (while somewheat inaccurate) can OHKO any reasonable (ie: Not max Sp Defense investment with boosting nature) Excadrill, and by running 48 speed EVs you outspeed Max Speed Adamant Excadrills after one Agility; you will need 104 if you want to outspeed Max Speed Jolly ones. The 104 EVs also puts you at a speed tie with neutral base 135s after 1 agility, outspeeding all invested non-boosting base-100s (you need 156 if you want to outspeed max-speed +natured 100s).
252+ SpA Mold Breaker Mega Ampharos Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Excadrill: 488-576 (115 - 135.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Volt switch is interesting on the set-up sweeper set, giving a nice STAB pivoting option at the cost of switching out, so I'm not entirely sure about replacing it with T-Bolt. It's your call whether you want Ampharos to be able to keep up momentum in face of a counter that can OHKO it or just hit hard.

tl;dr:
> Torrent over Damp on Swampert, Damp is very situational and Torrent's boost is helpful.
> Change Regirock to Chansey or Frerrothorn, both are (imo) superior walls and Chansey can function as cleric. Ferrothorn has Iron Barbs+Rocky Helmet which does a lot more damage than you'd think, but he attracts fire-type pokemon like mad. (Pick Chansey :D)
> (If you go for chansey) Ampharos should be full agility set, with either...
-48 EVs to outspeed 252Speed Adamant Excadrills after 1 agility (Because Excadrill can deal a significant amount of damage to your team if Staraptor is down/Gallade is weakened.)
-104 EVs to outspeed 252Speed Jolly Excadrills (and 252Speed NonTimid/Jolly Base-100s) after 1 agility
-156 EVs to outspeed 252Speed Jolly/Timid Base-100s after 1 agility​
Depending on what you want him to be able to deal with.
 
First of all, no offense, this looks like a uu team. Just saying.
Regirock is weak to much of the metagame today, like Mango Smoothie said.
Also, there are much more viable megas than ampahros. Ampharos simply is not good compared to the ou pokemon, having to use rest talk and is weak to ground moves like regirock is.
Gallade is outclassed by mega medicham, i reccomend you use him as they share the same typings.
And finally, swampert. Swampert is, again, outclassed by other water grounds such as quagsire and gastrodon.
That's all i got to say, PLEASE redo your team.
