Lead
Swampert

Ev hp 252 defence 252 speed 4
earthquake
ice beam
stealth rock
roar
Most current Ou leads are effected by Ice beam or earthquake so depending on the lead pokemon I use Stab earthquake or ice beam or if neither are effective stealth rock then roar. swampert i find is also one of the more bulky leads i have tried (uxie ) the biggest weakness to swampert is grass so enter the Psychic Speed pokemon. the main reason i chose swampert is that if needed it can be employed later in game agaist pokemon such as flygon with its ice beam i have also been able to use it to stealth rock then roar spam untill a pokemon is brought into the field.
Azelf
nature - timid
ability - levitate
item - life orb
ev hp 4 SPA 252 speed 252
nasty plot
HP ice
psychic
thunderbolt
Naive azelf is the fast pokemon i have found which packs a large movepool to counter many pokemon (usally i bring it out on water or flying pokemon when the rest of the team is down). my main attack on azelf is psychic which seems to deal well with most grass pokemon and acts as a mandatory stab when a pokemon has no real danger to azelf. Psychic counters most grass in Ou bar Celebi so to counter that we bring out
Heatran
nature - naive
ability - flash fire
item - choice scalf
252 Spe / 212 SpA / 44 Atk
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Explosion
- HP Grass
ok using the new choice scalf setup the scalftar is a lot more supportive of the team swapping onto dangerous steel pokemon such as lucario and magnezone with a passion the only danger this bring to the field is that without a rapid spinner to complement my team the danger is that i will be forced onto lots of spikes / rock / toxics after each pokemon is killed due to the locking system of choice items.
Rotom-C
Ev HP 4 Speed 252 SpA 252
nature - timid
ability - levitate
item - choice scarf
leaf storm
shadow ball
thunderbolt
trick
standard scarf Rotom-c mainly chose the form because it allows me to deal with pokemon such as suicune and Hippowdon more effectively than joltion who would otherwise find certain members of my team idea setup members also the handy trick means that i can more effectivly cripple apposing members of the team or break down walls much faster such as blissey who otherwise seems to wall my team for large periods of time.

Suicune
nature - timid
ability - pressure
item -mystic water
ev speed 252 spa 252 hp 4
hidden power electric
hidden power
surf
ice beam
rest
now im weak to electric primarily so my last pokemon is the fastest earthquake stab i could find, ok so suicune ive sound its good SpA speedy pokemon which is more useful for killing ground pokemon than my bulky swampert who is either killed or to slow to tackle the later game ground or rock dangers such as hippodown the rest helps its deal with celebis leach seed or toxic spikes frequently set up on this team i have tried replacing this with starmie to no avail as it just adds to the list of psychic pokemon. though it did help my being a rapid spinner.
Gliscor
nature - jolly
ability - hyper cutter
item - life orb
earthquake
stone edge
roost
sword dance
ev 212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spe
my second sweeper i swap it in after suicune or swampert on electric or ground pokemon to set it up then Sd sweep useful mainly to kill of pokemon such as heatran jolteon and machamp who seems to be a constant pokemon in the Ou at the moment. i can also deal with salamance togekiss using stone edge. roost has help alot as it means i am recovering from wall posion and keeps it alive long enough after the life orb usage.
the team has done fairly well so fair on about a 75% winning ratio
any helpful tips or information would be great, i welcome criticism so thanks in advance.
with thanks to Akita Neru
Changes - scalftar suicune and joltion to timid and gliscor movepool and nature changed to jolly and for the azelf move swaps and For the Ev / nature changes you have been a great help
past team members
jolteon
nature - timid
ability - volt absorb
item - focus sash
ev speed 252 spa 252 hp 4
agility
baton pass
thunderbolt
shadow ball
Joltion is an asset to the team because it deals with most water/flying combos in Ou Eg skamory and Starmie who would otherwise wreak havoc on certain members of this team Shadow ball is also useful in getting rid of gengar and dusnor who prove to be a pain to member of the team such as azelf. Allso since it is the quickest electric pokemon in Ou i chose it over electrode (also i chose it over electrode because of the steel/fire weakness and i all round prefer jolteon.) main question with joltion is should i be using a different move than agility or baton pass i find baton pass great for switching to gliscor and agility for those spare protect moments).
now in dire need of a ground killer i use
