That guy is too competitive (RMT)

My friend is very competitive and so he has forced me into a battle with teams consisting of ONLY 5th generation pokemon. I don't intend to make this a joke team so I am hoping you guys can help me a little. Unfortunately he also has placed another rule:
No stealth rock and company (sad face).


Lead: Enbuoh
EV's: 252 HP / 128 atk/ 128 Satk
Nature: Quiet
ability: reckless
Item: choice band
-flamethrower
-Superpower/ boiling water
-Wild Bolt
- Stone Edge

I wanted my lead to be able to hit hard but to also be able to attack physical walls more effectively. I know choice band isn't the way to go with a mixed attacker, heck i think life orb could be better but I love the power of choice band. I chose reckless to make sure he hits hard when he uses a recoil move.

I have boiling water as an option to cause burns, by chance, and to be able to hit ground, rock and other fire types more reliably. Superpower is a strong move but I believe flamethrower can hit steels and stone edge seems like good coverage to me.

My friend also has Ulgamoth, and while I am not too sure how effective it is in battle, I know that it is really weak to rock attacks.

Special Wall: Burungeru
ability: Water Absorb
item: Leftovers
nature: Calm
evs: 252 HP / 8 Def / 252 SDef
-Boiling Water
-Recover
-Energy Ball
-ice Beam

This is my special wall. I chose it because it can defend my Enbouh, Sazan and Waruvial from water, ice fight and bug attacks. While that is a lot, recover will come in handy to brush some of that damage off along with leftovers...hopefully -_-. I LOVE HIS STACHE!

Boiling water is for stab and to hopefully cause burns. Energy ball is for other water types, and I've seen many water and rock types in the new generation. Ice beam is what I'd use against dragons that have been weakened by my other team members and for flying types, if I face any.

Physical wall: Nattorei
item:Leftovers
ability: Steel Thorns
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
nature: Sassy
- Leech Seed
- protect
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball

This is my physical wall, chosen because it seems to work well with my special well. My special wall protects this guy from fire and fighting attacks. My physical wall defends my special wall from all of its weaknesses; I believe it can defend against these pretty well with 252 evs in hp and its awesome defenses.

Power whip and gyro ball are for stab, and gyro ball is a good choice since its a sassy nature. Since I am not allowed to use stealth rock for this battle I have replaced it with protect to give this wall more of a chance to heal.


Wall-breaker/ semi-mixed sweeper/ scout: Sazandora
Item: Life Orb
nature: Modest
evs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Speed
ability: levitate
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Taunt
- U-turn

I found this "wall-breaker" set made by Lee; all credit goes to him. I chose this set because I am a big fan of u-turn and thought that I needed a little more special based attacks in my team. Taunt seems like fun to stop my friend's pokemon from using healing moves and status iirc.

It switches into ground attacks aimed at Enbuoh. It is also kind of bulky, so im hoping to switch him in on one of his resisted typed attacks. Draco meteor or Fire blast on what I can, U-turn to scout and to run away after taunt.

Special Sweeper: Shibirudon
item: expert band
nature: quiet
Evs: 252 SAtk / 172 Atk / 84 hp
ability: Levitate
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
- Brick Break

Bugmaniabob suggested a set similar to this, I just tweaked it a little so a lot of credit goes to him. This is my special sweeper, the brick break is for anything my special attacks cant hurt too well. Thunder bolt is for stab and flamethrower and grass knot is for coverage. It can switch in to electric attacks aimed at my special wall.

Expert band is used to boost special effective moves, that and a life orb would hurt his hp, and I don't want that on this guy. The evs go into hp since it wouldn't outrun too many things....even with a +speed nature. The quiet nature is again because of the speed it has, it wont outrun many things and I rather have its defenses at normal numbers, not - 10%.

Physical sweeper: Waruvial
EV's: HP 6 /Atk 252 /Spe 252
Nature: adamant
Item: Choice Scarf
ability: Intimidate
- Earthquake
- brick break
- thunder fang
- pursuit

This is my physical sweeper. His ability intimidate, can help me switch in and might help me cause switches. I chose adamant since ill be using the choice scarf instead of a choice band. pursuit is for stab and in case my friend tries to switch after my intimidate.

Earthquake is also for stab, brick break to hit steels and thunder-fang for the occasional water pokemon that might switch in. I am not saying ill leave him against a bulky water pokemon, I'd go for fragile water pokemon that I think I can outrun or on the switch.

I know that most of my team is slow, but I don't think I can help that fact =/ at this moment. I don't see any problems with the team myself but that's why I am hoping you guys can help me with your advice.

Please and thank you in advance and even if you don't help me thanks for reading this far if you have.
 
...Your friend has Urgamoth.

And he's telling you "no SR allowed," when that's the biggest Urgamoth counter in the game. Something tells me you need to be a little bit more assertive about that rule. It isn't broken, a Gen V Pokemon, Boruterosu, can stop it from going up thanks to a priority Taunt, and if a key sweeper of his is conveniently ruined by a move he banned...

But otherwise, I don't know enough about Gen V-only singles to help you much. I can say this, though-Randorosu is a better Ground-type than Waruvial. I would recommend him over the gator, as he is stronger, has better typing, and is faster.

I see your point, it is better. Me and my friend would rather not use legendaries though but it does look nice. Thank you for your advice though if you can tell me anything else I'd appreciate it.
