Standard OU

Smeargle @ Choice Scarf
Own Tempo
252 hp, 252 speed, 4 def.
Jolly:
- Spore
- Stealth Rock
- Trick
- Whirlwind

Smeargle is awesome. It counters almost every lead and anti-lead there is. Against most leads I can simply spore it and switch to something else. Against a baton passer, whirlwind. Against a tank, Trick, and after I've tricked away the scarf I can set up stealth rock later on. This deals with pretty much anything besides a lum berry user, another scarfer, and electrode who still outspeeds it.

Azelf @ Life Orb
Levitate
252 sp. att, 252 speed, 252 hp
Timid:
- Nasty Plot
- Grass knot
- Flamethrower
- Psychic

Standard Nasty plot sweeper. Usually switch in after I use spore/trick with smeargle and then nasty plot into a sweep hopefully. While it does nothing against Heatran, I have a perfect Heatran counter and so I'm not that worried.

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Thick Fat
244 HP, 28 Def, 236 SpD
Careful:
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Crunch
- Earthquake

A somewhat standard sleep talking snorlax. The main difference here is that I got rid of body slam for two very important moves to help counter pokemon that my team has trouble with. Earthquake deals with Heatran, and crunch deals with common levitating ghost switch-ins, specifically gengar and rotom. Also, snorlax can wall latias and wear it down with crunch. Previously, when I just had body slam and earthquake, levitating ghosts could come in and set up, but now not so easily.

Heracross @ Choice Scarf
Guts
252 att, 252 speed, 4 hp
Adamant:
- Close Combat
- Megahorn
- Stone Edge
- Toxic

Scarfacross is great. It outspeeds almost everything except Electrode, Ninjask, and other scarfers. It can deal with latias, heatrans that are not scarfed or don't have a + speed nature, and if I predict a switch to a counter like Gliscor, I can cripple it with toxic for later on. This is probably my most important sweeper, and if my opponent has set up toxic spikes then it will do even more with guts.

Rotom - H @ Leftovers
Levitate
252 HP, 168 Def, 88 Spe
Bold:
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Overheat
- Will-O-Wisp

Rotom - O is a great physical wall, plus since there are many different things it could be doing, my opponent could predict incorrectly. This counters scizor with enough speed to outspeed an adamant one. Also this can stop DD gyarados even after one DD. Will-o-wisp cripples physical attackers that don't have a major weakness to one of his attacks. Thunderbolt is used over discharge for more power and because if I burn opponents, I can't paralyze them.

Mamoswine @ Choice Band
Snow Cloak
252 att, 252 speed, 4 def.
Jolly
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Superpower
- Stone Edge

Standard Choice Band Sweeper. Jolly outspeeds neutral base 90's. Ice shard gives my team some much-need priority, while earthquake, superpower, and stone edge all help for type coverage. This deals with the 4x weak dragons and may take out a latias as well.

Thank you for commenting and vary your comments. Yes, I know I have three choice users
 
Azelf as a special sweeper is rather unimpressive, despite its stats, because its movepool lacks variety. Coming in on a sleeping foe, you need not a sweeper but a wallbreaker. A MixMence may be useful here.
I'd also replace Snorlax with a solid Heatran counter. An LO Timid Suicune, 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP with moveset CM/Surf/HP Electric/Ice Beam seems like a solid choice to me. Takes little damage from Tran, and packs an offensive punch of its own.
Hope this helps.
