Tean Adjustments Requested

crystalvelox

Deoxys-e @ Light Clay
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Taunt
- Recover

Deoxys-S main goal is to set up a shield or cripple the starting pokemon with taunt and switch out into a counter. The current speed at max IVs can out speed all +nature 130 Base Speed pokemon. Most leads are physically oriented so the defensive stats add to it's bulkyness. So this is not meant to be a suicide lead, but can become one late game to set up a last minute shield.

Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge

Tyranitar with Choice Scarf can help it counter a good number of pokemon, espically those that use trick. Among the pokemon it can counter are zapdos (before agility), azelf, and starmie to name a few.

Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Will-o-wisp
- Overheat
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt

With 3 immunities and decent type coverage rotom-h can come into a few pokemon and counter them or cripple them with will-0-wisp. Because I have never used rotom-h before I am unsure what EV spread and nature would help with it.

Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- X-Scissor
- Swords Dance
- Roost

With a reflect or Light Screen up and coming into the right pokemon scizor can obtain 2 swords dances some what easily and after that not much can really stop it.

Togekiss (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 152 SpA/252 Hp/104 Spe
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere
- Roost

With this I have some special attack power and that is mostly what it is used for, To hit the weak point of a few pokemon. I have been wondering if skymin would prove to be just as effective....

Metagross @ Occa Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 208 HP/76 Atk/224 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Bullet Punch
- Ice Punch

Metagross gives me some stealth rock support and is not afraid of salamence which otherwise could pretty much hit my team pretty hard. It can also hit heatran pretty well too.

Final Note: I wanted to create a balence team that also became very good under reflect or light screen.
 
This is a pretty good team.

I think Skymin would be better than Togekiss.

Brick Break or SuperPower is necessary on Scizor to get rid of Steels (heatran). Put it over X-Scissor.

Your team doesn't seem fond of Infernape, adding Skymin or a fast revenge killer should help.

Stealth Rock can go on Deoyx-S, and you can add Thunder Punch for Gyarados on Metagross.

If youre going for a full game sweep on Scizor, then Lefties and Quick Attack are a must - while 1.3 x is always appreciated, you'll need the longevity, ESPECIALLY if you usually go 2 SDs.

Also, Skymin > Togekiss, I'd run the Sub + 3 Attacks (Seed Flare, Air Slash, and Earth Power) on it.

Also, on Metagross, with screen support and Occa Berry and no Choice Item, why not wun agilgross?
 
Well if you are gonna do Skymin run HP Electric because you are a bit Gyarados weak. Except Rotom hurts it, and thats it.

If you want a special attack boost why not use Growth Shaymin, my favorite.
 
If it is a good team. I seem to lose an awful lot with it close to 1:1 win:loss.

Alright I believe I will move up with Haxmin over togekiss.

Quick Attack does cover things bullet punch does not, but it's not as powerful. I would be taking a gamble about using superpower on Heatran a it could be using choice scarf which is popular choice to use. For superpower I think I may as well go with a choice band scizor.
 
Since you're deciding between Togekiss and Skymin, i'll ask you one question first. Have Nasty Plot and Roost been very useful?

That, and higher Base Defenses are basically what separate Togekiss from Skymin. Other than that, Skymin is pretty much superior. One of the best, most annoying, most stable set for Skymin is the SubSeeding Set.

Skymin@Lefties
Timid
80 Def / 252 Spe / 136 SpA / 40 SpD
26 HP IV

Air Slash
Earth Power
Leech Seed
Substitute

Anyways... With this set you can easily KO a Neutral Natured Scarfed heatran with Earth Power, as you are faster as long as it's not Timid. Also, with Leech Seed you can effectively steal away an opponent's health. The reason for the 26 HP IVs, is so that you can get full lefties recovery, and also steal away more HP from opponents. Air Slash is for flinching, and Substitute can shield you from status. Possibly the most annoying set out there.
