V for Vendetta

This is my Pokebank OU team. I'm quite new in the competitive metagame, and after some gimmicky sets in NU I decided to play 6th gen Pokebank OU, just for fun.
I apologize right away for the poor grammar.. I don't speak english very well. I'm Sorry.

Silver (Victini) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Victory Star
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- V-create
- Bolt Strike
- U-turn

The entire team was born becouse of this little.. Thing.
Oddly, this is my lead. With pokemon such as clefki, smeargle, galvantula, ferrothorn and skarmory all around, faking a tyrantrum as lead can become convenient; force a switch or attire a status move from a prankster clefki (if it is swagger, than GG), the free sub is almost guaranteed. After that, spam V-create as you wish and flee with a U-turn if the situation become unplesant. Naturally if the foe has an obvious Greninja lead, I'll start with Genesect with the choiced U-Turn. Same thing with Tyranitar -> Breloom.

Yellow (Breloom) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Spore
- Rock Tomb
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch

Base 60 Power and 95 accuracy Rock Tomb in this generation is a blessing for the poor technician breloom, capable of destroyng any volcarona or talonflame on the switch with a little bit of prediction, and slowing down anything else with none of that.
The switch in on a dark type or on a water type move should be relatively easy.

Sapphire (Tyrantrum) @ Wide Lens
Ability: Rock Head
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Head Smash
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance

This thing is a monster, that's it. If breloom doesn't take out the pesky fire or flying types on the switch, then Tyrantrum is free to switch in and DD at least one time, destroying anything without any efforts with Rock Head Head Smash or his other coverage moves. I chose Wide Lens over Life orb becouse I hate the Head Smash miss.

Ruby (Genesect) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Download
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature
- Flash Cannon
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower
- U-turn

I needed a special attacker, then Scarfed Download Genesect has fallen from the Ubers Shelf, making me very happy. It can threaten fairies or flee away with a +1 U-Turn. Pretty powerful and fast, that's my favourite bug.

Emerald (Hydreigon) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Mild Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Superpower
- Fire Blast
- U-turn

Bulkier with Assault Vest, threatening to everything bar steel and fairy types with draco meteor, and resistent to Shadow Sneak from Aegislash, immune to ground.. I needed something like this in my team, and now I have it. Yesssss..

Gold (Azumarill) @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 208 HP / 252 Atk / 48 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Waterfall
- Superpower

This is the final member of my FWG core, a quick answer to any fighting or dragon menaces, capable of pulverizing any frailer thing on his path with the combination Superpower-Play Rough-Waterfall. Acqua Jet is also tremendously useful for blocking a sweep against your team.


Threats for the team?
Maybe Rotom-W with Will-o-Wisp. It can pretty much shut down my Breloom with little efforts.

I'm practically a noob, so feel free to point out the flaws in the team or to destroy it completely, i'm posting it on purpose.
 
A flaw I see is an extreme lack of tanky pokemon. While all of your team will sweep if given the opportunity you do not have anything that can take a hit if the opponent puts out a scary offensive threat. You do have some pretty amazing offense and if you really want to stick with this rout I suggest at least turning the tyrantrum into an offensive stealth rock user.
P.S. victini is my favorite :D

Rocks over Dragon Claws?

If you know something else that can increase the general bulkiness of the team without sacrificing the momentum please tell me, or please at least report some of the offensive threats that can give me trouble.
Thanks for the answer anyway. :)
 
I really like your choice of Vicitini there, an overlooked mon but with real potential if a team is built around it. However I'm not too sure about that actual Vicitini set there. While I'm sure it is very helpful against Sub Swagger Klefki it loses a lot of utility against other mons. Lum Berry is not likely to be too helpful as you already have Sub to block status and status in general is not such a big problem for Victini as it is not crippled by burn nor is it particularly likely to draw status. I recommend going for a standard Band Victini. Despite the prevalence of physically defensive Rotom-W Victini should still be plowing holes through teams, as it should as that's its real niche here.

The one real advantage Victini gained this generation is Defog which lets you keep those annoying rocks off the field more easily. While AV Hydreigon is intriguing, it doesn't quite patch up some of the defensive holes your team has. I recommend switching Hydreigon to Physically Defensive Mandibuzz with Foul Play, Roost, Defog and Whirlwind/U-Turn/Taunt/Toxic/Brave Bird. It checks popular Pokemon like Aegislash, Sub Disable Gengar, Donphan, Landorus, and even Talonflame thanks to its sheer bulk. You don't even lose out on that much power as with all the strong physical attackers dominating the meta Foul Play hits stupidly hard.

I agree with changing Tyrantrum to an offensive rocks setter.
