Nature:Impish
Ability:Sand Veil
Item:Leftovers
204 att/ 90 att/ 216 spe

Taunt
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
U-turn

The Speed EVs allow me to outspeed Adamant Lucario as well as Naive Heatran. I always beat Lead Heatran and can 2hko metagross. He can be a reliable counter to Lucario later in the game too, if it isn't running ice punch. I can scout with u-turn, which comes in handy against azelf, allowing scizor to easily pick it off. And when i bring him in on electric attacks, to check for hp ice, etc. Whats so great is that it maintains its role as a wall, its got enough speed to use stealth rocks and u-turn effectively and frequently scores me kills.

Nature:Adament
Ability:Technician
Item:Choice Band
252 att/ 252 hp/ 4 spe

Bullet Punch
U-turn
Superpower
Pursuit

The team being so neutral to rock types lead my decision to make scizor 252 hp over speed an easy one. The health helps him get in and out more times while still having the power to finish things off and devastate others. U-turn works well here because the main counters to scizor (Gyarados, Heatran, Rotom) can met by Celebi Kingdra or Snorlax before they have a chance to attack keeping the pressure on my side of the field.

Nature:Bold
Ability:Natural Cure
Item:Leftovers
252 hp/ 220 def/ 36 spe

Perish Song
Grass Knot
Recover
Psychic

Celebi is a god,curing me of Machamp, Breloom, Gyarados, CM Jirachi, baton pass teams, and anything that likes to hide behind a sub fairly easily. He's defensive enough to be a big pain in the neck, espeically with recover. Perish song really comes in handy here forcing switches which means it can be REALLY hard to sweep this team. There is enough physical bulk to make sure Celebi doesnt get caught having to face a U-turn. Psychic's occasional special defense drop is a dream for Rotom and kingdra who will more than likely be switched in to face heatrans and scizors (who will definitely U-turn after recieving one).

Nature:Careful
Ability:Thick fat
Item:Leftovers
168 hp/ 120 def/ 220 spe

Curse
Rest
Body Slam
Fire punch


Snorlax can come in on most special attacks and begin his cursing. With Celebi, Rotom-h, and Gliscor as 'fighting-move' support he can be very successful at it. I generally like to scout with him first, hoping to land a paralysis with body slam because he isnt hard to bring in to play but if fighting types are still lurking about they can be taken care of by the ladder three or rendered useless by a lucky hax from snorlax on the switch. Because of rest Snorlax is a descent Status collector too which makes him handy, especially since most pokemon that carry status moves also carry special attacks.

Nature:Naughty
Ability: Swift Swim
Item:Life Orb
240 Satt/ 252 att/ 16 spe

Rain Dance
Draco Meteor
Hydro pump
Waterfall


Kingdra usually gets the ball rolling for me. It is quite easy for Kingdra to disembowl a few of the opponents pokemon, and he is really easy to switch onto the field with only 1 weakness. Once Kingdra is done it's thing, the remaining synergy on this team doesn't have much problem cleaning up. Kingdra also puts pokemon with killing rangge for Scizors bullet punch like jirachi, metagross, gyarados, etc.)

Nature:Bold
Ability: Levitate
Item:Leftovers
252 hp/168 def/ 88 spe

Thunderbolt
Overheat
Shadowball
Will-o-Wisp

Rotom's Purpose is to provide all the bulk in places Celebi can't. He also comes in handy at blocking the oppenents rapid spin. If i Catch T-tars with WoW rotom can survive a pursuit and i will have plenty of options to choose from to take care of him. shadowball is his seconday STAB hit, but the occasionally special defense drop can be kindgdra heaven turning some near ohko into guarantee's.


Looking for
possible weaknesses in the team.
thanks.
 
I really like this team. It looks really good but I was wondering about the ev's for your gliscor. You have 204 in att and 90 in att wich makes no sense. I would put 252 in hp and 40 in def to make him alittle more bulky. besides that it looks like a relly solid team.
I am not positive but I think you are weak against a DDmence. I would replace him with a a suicune running
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe With a bold nature and left overs
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk
~ Surf
~ Ice beam

I thinkn he would help out more with the dragons
 
Scizor counters salamence perfectly. CBzor Bullet Punch deals at most 69% damage, which means after slealth rock + 1 turn of LO recoil, he is in KO range. Also celebi can finish him off aswell.
 
Change Scizor's evs, take 6 off HP and put them into defense if you are looking for a bulky Scizor.

Taken from: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53818

"See here for reasoning. There are two Scizors; we will refer to them by Scizor 1, who has maximum HP EVs, and Scizor 2, who has 248 HP EVs. Both of them are sent out into the battlefield where Stealth Rock awaits to inflict injury. The results should be as followed:

Scizor 1:
344/8 = 43
344-43 = 301

Scizor 2:
343/8 = 42.875. The number is rounded down to 42
343-42 = 301

As you can see, they will enter the trap-laden battlefield with the same HP. However, should you want to switch Scizor out more than once…

Scizor 1:
301 – (344/8) = 248

Scizor 2:
301 – (343/8) = 249

What do we have here? The Scizor that started out with one point lower in HP ends up having higher HP upon its second time switching into the field."
 
With the DDmence if it happens to get up dd then fire blast will take out scizor and celebi outrage will hurt kingdra and snorlax earthquake will hurt snorlax pretty bad after that it just leaves two pokemon for the rest of the team. That is why i think ddmence would be a problem for this team. If you put in suicune mence is not going to do that much damge before you use ice beam.
 
..
Salamence after stealth rock = 75% HP
591 Atk vs 196 Def & 331 HP (90 Base Power): 194 - 229 (58.61% - 69.18%)
Salamence Flame Blast loses 10% HP, AKA Dead.
Although, he would probably go to something else such as celebi to use psychic, or snorlax body slam. Which means scizor is able to OHKO salamence. Salamence is not a problem.
