Sunny Destruction

Harsha: You obviously have not tested this team considering Dusclops doesn't get Pursuit and Latios doesn't get Fire Blast. Read the rules before posting; you must playtest your team.

Introduction

Hey this is Rhyperior. This team is my first real B/W OU team, and my first time posting a team, so there may be many errors. This team has the ability to keep sunny weather and defeat many threats. Let's see what's in this destructive team.

(Sun setup Ninetales)
EVs: 124 HP, 124 Defense, 8 Special Attack, 252 Special Defense
Nature: Calm
Item: Shell Bell
Move set: Sunny Day, Flamethrower, Will-O-Wisp, SolarBeam
Ability-Drought

You might be dumbfounded, because a Drought Ninetales has Sunny Day. Nine tales' biggest counters, Politoad and Tyranitar are much slower, and get their weather condition set up first. This gives me and advantage, because since I have the speed advantage, I can set up a Sunny Day, and then let loose a powerful solar beam, potentially fainting the Tyranitar/Politoad, stopping the ability to keep Sand Storm/Drizzle permanent, and allowing me to be able to switch into Ninetales whenever I want, creating sunny weather that cannot be driven away. Will-O-Wisp is a quick way to make up for Ninetales' poor defensive stat. Flamethrower is a powerful stab move even stronger in the sun. With all this taken into mind, sunny weather should win the battle.

(Setup Rapid Spinning Forretress)
EVs:124 HP, 4 Attack, 252 Defense, 128 Special Defense
Nature:Relaxed
Item: Leftovers
Move set: Stealth Rock, Spikes, Volt Switch, Rapid Spin
Ability-Sturdy

This Forretress goes very well with Ninetales. After switching Ninetales out, I can setup Stealth Rock and Spikes, giving the opponent a problem with switching back into Politoad/Tyranitar. Rapid Spin is great for getting rid of Stealth Rock and Spikes. Volt Switch allows me to do a small amount of damage, and also allows me to switch into Ninetales to setup drought again.
Although it is vulnerable to fire types, switching out will save the day.

(Wall Dusclops)
EVs: 4 HP, 252 Defense, 252 Special Defense
Nature: Sassy
Item:Eviolite
Move set: Pursuit, Shadow Punch, Will-O-Wisp, Destiny Bond
Ability-Pressure

This Dusclops is quite scary. Exactly the reason for Pursuit. With both Defenses being doubled thanks to the Eviolite, a switch out is almost too predictable. Pursuit will do double damage then, being very useful. Shadow Punch is a good stab move that will have 100% accuracy. Will-O-Wisp halves the opponents attack, multiplying my Defense by 1.5, added on to the doubling by Eviolite. Destiny Bond is a great way to go with a bang. Once I am led to low health, a destiny bond will kill me, but on the other hand kill the opponent.

(Chlorophyll sweeping Venasaur)
EVs: 4 HP, 204 Attack, 252 Special Attack, 48 Speed
Nature-Mild
Item-Life Orb
Move set-Sleep powder, SolarBeam, Earthquake, and Growth
Ability-Chlorophyll

This Venasaur has the ability to sweep once set up. Sleep Powder will put an opponent to sleep, and then, I can set up growth, +2 attack and +2 Special Attack. Once maxing out those two stats, the sweep begins. If an annoying Heatran is put into battle, Earthquake will destruct it. Not much can put a chain on this beast, and in the case of that, I would just switch out to my secret sweeper. You will read about it next.

(Choice Specs Destructive Latios)
EVs:252 Special Attack, 244 Speed, 16 Special Defense
Nature: Modest
Item-Choice Specs
Move set: Psychic, Fire Blast(PP Maxed), Dragon Pulse, Thunderbolt
Ability-Levitate

After Venasaur has done it's job, out comes Latios. If a Magnezone is on the field, a sunny fire blast will destroy it. If a Latias is there, Dragon Pulse will tear it apart. Thunderbolt is used to counter any rain team pokemon that are dead because there is no rain. By now, the opponents team should be dead, but if not, when Latoios' HP is low, I will switch out into this pokemon.

(Wish support Vaporeon)
EVs: 252 HP, 248 Special Attack, 8 Special Defense
Nature: Modest
Item:Leftovers
Move set: Surf, Aqua Ring, Wish, Baton Pass
Ability: Water Absorb

Yet another way to counter Drizzle teams. This Vaporeon can set up Aqua ring, and a quick wish and Baton Pass to heal another sweeper. Surf is powered up if rain is on the field, and even if it's not, is a nightmare for many sandstorm pokemon like Gliscor, and Tyranitar.

Conclusion
This sun team has many uses, and a great chance of winning. This is my first time posting a team, so please give me all the feedback possible. My Internet wasn't working so I couldn't get those cool sprites. Thanks so much for reading my team. Once again, this is Rhyperior.
