RMT battle tower super singles

I use this team in super singles. As the prefix implies, I do use one pokemon with a DW ability, and that is my regenerator slowbro. Anyways, here's my team:

Terrakion

Ability-Justified
Nature-Jolly
EV's-252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Hp
Item-Lum Berry
Moves
-Swords Dance
-Sacred Sword
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake

I use terrakion as my lead. It's a basic swords dance sweeper set, but instead of using a life orb I use lum berry in case something tries to cripple him and in case of status hax. I've considered replacing sacred sword and rock slide close combat and stone edge, but the defensive drops and lower accuracy is discouraging. Are there any missed 2HKO's (or OHKO's) that the stronger moves will achieve?? Overall, terrakion is a great asset to my team. If he doesn't sweep the enemy team, he usually leaves the team weak enough for scizor to finish off. Additionally, he also doesn't mind dark attacks that slowbro despises.

Scizor

Ability-Technician
Nature-Adamant
EV's-I can't remember it's exact EV's, but it's attack is maxed, it has 222 speed, and the rest of the EV's are in HP. Can someone help me out??
Item-Choice band
Moves:
-Swords Dance (planning on replacing this with pursuit)
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite
-Superpower

Scizor is my clean up crew. Whatever terrakion doesn't destroy, scizor can usually finish off. Additionally, he also resists a lot of stuff that terrakion and slowbro are weak against (especially grass attacks). This scizor currently has the standard life orb sweeper set (EV's) I think but I'm using him with a choice band. I'm planning on acquiring a new scyther and training him with a bulky set to replace this one. Scizor has trouble taking repeated attacks, and I'm hoping that a bulkier set will work out better. What do you guys think??

Slowbro

Ability-Regenerator
Nature-Bold
EV's-252 Hp/252 Def/4 SpA
Item-Leftovers
Moves
-Calm Mind
-Scald
-Psychic
-Slack Off

Slowbro is my tank. He can take a lot of physical attacks that terrakion and scizor can't. However, he has issues taking repeated special attacks, and this is the reason why I use calm mind. If I get the hax with scald against physical sweepers, slowbro has an easier time setting up against opponents. Do you think I should replace this with surf though?? Finally, psychic is my most powerful stab attack. I don't use psyshock, because a lot of the special tanks (blissey and snorlax) are handled just fine by terrakion.


Overall, I think I have a pretty good team, but any suggestions are appreciated.
 
Okay, in order for it to be in the Dream World tier there needs to be a pokemon with an unreleased Dream World ability, like Chandelure, and you ARE allowed to post here since you put that it was a battle tower team.

Anyways, this team is okay, but Battle Subway trainers have one big flaw; they can't switch pokemon. So as a lead, you should use this pokemon.

Spiritomb @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Calm
Ability: Pressure
EV's: 252 Hp/ 128 Def/ 128 SpD
-Trick
-Thunder Wave
-Grudge
-Memento
This takes full advantage of the opponent not being able to switch by forcing them to use Struggle while you set up a sweeper to a +6 status. The main thing you want to go for is Trick and then Grudge. If you think Spiritomb can take it, you can use Thunder Wave in between. If you decide not to chance Trick + Grudge, you could just use Memento from the start and switch into Slowbro or Terrakion, but I prefer Trick and Grudge. Multiscale DDnite works nicely with this set, as does Salamence with Intimidate, as both are eager to set up Dragon Dances and have reasonable bulk.
