RMT? - A U-Turn Team

I'm pretty sure that at some point in all pokemon players lifes, they've tried this team, or another team similar.
Also, i'm not the best at team forming, so all help would be greatly appreciated. ^_^

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Azelf @ Focus Sash – Timid[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Stealth Rock[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']U-Turn[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Explosion[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Fire Blast[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Spa [/FONT]

Basically, hit with Stealth Rock, and then either attack if i'm pretty sure I can get a OHKO, if not, U-Turn out intosomething that can do some damage.

I'm pretty sure my Staraptor will be able to do a fair bit of damage, and with the Choice Scarf equipped, I should be able to Outspeed most pokemon. U-Turn out if I feel threatened.

A fairly standered SD Scizor, but instead if have X-Scissor, I put in U-Turn, so, he should be abe to piss some people off.

I'm not sure about Fake Out, but other than that, i'm quite happy here.

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']252 Atk / 80 SpA / 176 Spe[/FONT]

I'm really happy here, except, i'm not sure i'm Fire Blast is the best move, but I know it can 2HKO a Bronzong, so yeah.

Here is my main counter for Gyrados, just U-Turn in on a waterfall, and i'll be fine.



After reading over this, I realised that a Salmance could rip through my whole team, and I don't know what to do.
I'm thinking about changing FB on Flygon, to be Ice Punch, or a Possible Ice Beam (I don't know if he can learn it)

Thanks for reading, and helping with my team ^_^​
 
Let me say I love the idea of a u-turn team, it's great to see people with originality.

1.OK, my first suggestion is a simple one: Change Fire Blast on Azelf to Psychic. It is very useful, and here's how: You SR, the opponent expects an explosion, and so you use psychic, which can ohko lots of ghost pokemon such as gengar who will be switched in. Not only that, but it's good for stab.

2.I love Starraptor. No suggestions there.

3. I would say go jolly nature on Scizor, Life Orb is powering your attack up enough (not to mention the fact that you have swords dance). Moveset is good.

4. Persian has a good premise, but when you realize that when you use u-turn, the incoming pokemon takes damage, he suddenly doesn't seem as great. Meager defenses here. I would replace him with Jirachi. Moves: U-Turn, fire Punch, Iron Head, and perhaps psychic. Leftovers, definitely. Jolly Nature recommended, but with psychic in there, perhaps not.

5. Flygon is good no doubt, but if you want max speed evs, you can just change Fire Blast to Fire Punch and get rid of the Sp. Atk in favor of max speed. Of course, with scarf, you may not need it, but if you go max speed, choice band can be used instead.

6. Worried about Salamence? Then get rid of Fake out or Hypnosis (I would say fake out) and put in t-bolt. Then get rid of hp electric and put in hp ice.

Overall, good team with a good design. Please try out these suggestions and tell me how it turns out.
 
Your U-turn team consits of a bunch of frail pokemon and 2 somewhat not frail pokemon. O.o anyway, If you U-turn your oponent might end up knocking out the pokemon your switching too, especially after a stealth rock because your team is frail and has no walls or tanks. Ovcourse you can switch in on a move thats probably not going to be very effective like if the oponent wants to close combat or stone edge and you switch into flygon, but thats really not good enough.
 
With all of the switching you are going to be doing, Stealth rock/Spikes will destroy you. Purugly should be replaced with...

Starmie @ leftovers
Timid, 156 Def, 136 HP, 216 Speed
Natural Cure
~Rapid Spin
~Thunderbolt
~Surf
~Recover

I got this from the analysis on this site on Starmie. This can come in on gyarados while it DDs or Attacks, and survive an EQ after DD, then OHKO with thunderbolt if your Azelf gets stealth rock down. If gyarados attacks, you will receive less damage on the switch, and then outspeed and KO.
Also, his Rapid spin will help your team to not be utterly destroyed by Entry hazards

Just some suggestions. Hope this helps :p
