RMT - OU - Team That Needs A Lot Of Help (Great Name right?)

So my friend made this team and he wanted me to help with it. It did well on the OU ladder, won quite a few, but lost a lot. SubJirachi Owned the team. Zapdos can hurt a lot. If Scizor gets set-up then that can be bad.

Bronzong @ Lum Berry
Ability: Heatproof
EVs: 252 HP/54 Atk/204 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Gyro Ball
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Zen Headbutt

You don't see a Heatproof Bronzong everyday. 3 times today, someones flamethrower'd my Bronzong and did barely anything and I returned an OHKO. So basically set rocks up, then attack.

Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/6 Def/252 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Dragon Pulse
- Calm Mind
- Grass Knot
- Recover

Basic Latias set. Set-up some CM's then try and sweep.
---
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Recover
- Leech Seed
- Zen Headbutt
- Seed Bomb

Physical Celebi takes a lot of people by surprise. But Grass + Psychic are walled often.
---
Suicune @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Surf
- Roar

Basic CM Cune. I can use Roar to clear anything that's setting up.

Breloom (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 48 HP/252 Atk/208 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Mach Punch
- Seed Bomb
- Spore

Awesome revenge attacker. Spore anything thats slower, then SD up and try and sweep. Works well as a late game sweeper since most of the time there isn't a ghost left.

Porygonz @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Tri Attack
- Thunderbolt
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam

Also can work as a late game sweeper or a revenge killer.

Main strategy: Set-up and sweep with anything.
 
I'm too sleepy to give an in-depth rate but here are a few suggestions:

Bronzong definitely doesn't need to be running Zen Headbutt because it is a waste so go ahead and drop that for Hypnosis to sleep those annoying SR leads. Occa Berry could work if you're worried about Heatran or Infernape who are pretty common early in the match. On Latias you're better off giving him a spread of 252 Spe / 252 SAtk / 4 HP which allows you to fully reach his sweeping potential. Go ahead and change his nature to Modest or Timid. For Celebi I want you to drop Zen Headbutt / Seed Bomb for Grass Knot / Hidden Power Fire or Earth Power. Using physical attacks on Celebi with that given spread you're using doesn't work too well since Grass Knot will take off more against Swampert who will usually be built more physically defensive rather than specially, similarly with Gyarados who Intimidates but in this manner it won't affect you since Grass Knot is special. Hidden Power Fire gives you a way to take care of Scizor. Earth Power is an option over HP Fire which allows you to hurt Heatran although you normally wouldn't have Celebi out against him in the first place, but it's up to you. Also drop Leech Seed for Thunder Wave; running Recover AND Leech Seed isn't all that necessary since you'll only need one of them to recover your HP and Thunder Wave is generally helpful at crippling fast threats and your team isn't exactly that fast for the most part and this gives them a way to sweep a bit more effectively. I'd drop Calm Mind for Rest on Suicune since the movespread you're using is better at stalling rather than causing a physical threat since you're lacking Ice Beam and Dragons will be an issue to get rid of due to such. You might be better off going for an offensive Cune (Calm Mind / Surf / Ice Beam / Hidden Power Electric, 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe) and the only difference being that you throw on a Life Orb and change to a Modest nature. You did good enough it seems with Porygon-Z, so I'll end my comments here.
 
I agree; use Surf on Latias. And if you are going to run Defensive like that, definitely invest some more into her Def; she needs it. CM is boosting your SpD anyway.

I would recommend changing Celebi to Perishbi, (Grass Knot/Reflect/Perish Song/Recover) to help beat CM Jirachi if you feel the need. Physical Celebi is just about worthless if you don't plan to pass SD or use SD. Even if you use them, it still sucks.
 
This thread is now locked under RMT Rule #3:
Rule #3 said:
3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you're having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.
