Volt-Turn Core with a bit of bulk

Rotom-Wash @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
Bold Nature
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Hydro Pump | Volt Switch | Will-O-Wisp | Rest

CHesto Rest Rotom is pretty standard and a staple in any Volt Turn core. Perfect synergy with Scizor and Landorus who make up my complete core to the set. I lead off this team with Rotom smacking leads with W-O-W or simply volting out of there for the appropriate choice. I decided upon Chesto Rest set because I feel personally the Trick set is a little gimmicky? Or to say the least situational and not always optimal in this meta game. I also opted for a more physical bulk as I really lack it otherwise outside of Conkeldurr/Landorus.

Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
Adamant Nature
252 Atk / 250 HP / 8 Spe
Bullet Punch | Pursuit | U-turn | Defog

Scizor, a rather different set you don't see everyday in the Volt Turn core. I really needed a way to remove pesky Rocks and other hazards that tamper with Volt Turns primary strategy. So keeping the core intact I felt Scizor would make a pretty decent defogger for what I had access to. Now keep in mind that everything I am using here is strictly WiFi...so I have to follow an item clause. I normally would love Mandibuzz on my team as a primary defogger but Landorus would then be forced to not use Leftovers.

Landorus-T @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Adamant Nature
EVs: 248 HP / 172 Def / 88 Spe
Earthquake | Stone Edge | U-turn | Stealth Rock

My final addition to the Volt Turn Core and what a beast he really is! My pivot, my bulk, and my Rock setter. He provides amazing coverage in terms of QuakeEdge and honestly one of the few rock setters I actually like in this new gen OU meta. This set is pretty standard and the EV spread may need work, not 100% on the best spread there is to use at this current moment in time. I could use some tweaks here most.

Mega-Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Inner Focus
Timid Nature
252 SpAtk / 252 Spe / 6 SpDef
Nasty Plot | Dark Pulse | Vacuum Wave | Flash Cannon

Now, outside of my Volt Turn core of the team we have my primary setup-sweeper of the team and probably the best one in all of OU. I opted for special Lucario over physical because it can then eat those pesky and nasty W-O-W for free turns to setup a quick Nasty Plot. The only accurate way to use Lucario is to switch him in when you predict the W-O-W or you get a free turn to bring him in for a Nasty Plot or two and begin your sweep after. This usually happens late game and revealing him too early can put a halt to your sweep if they play around that given knowledge you run Lucario. I feel the special set is his overall best set and versatile.

Conkeldurr @ Assault Vest
Ability: Guts
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Mach Punch | Ice Punch | Drain Punch | Knock Off

Assault Vest Conkeldurr, probably my favorite user of this item and one of my new favorite pokemon of this generation. WIth its added bulk it can take a Hydro Pump Rotom-W and still stay in the game kicking. I use this pokemon bcause not only does it provide some nice coverage moves it also synergizes perfectly with Lucario giving me somebody to switch into to take the hit instead of Lucario and vice versa. There like bread and butter.

Talonflame @ Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 Atk / 164 Spd / 92 HP
Brave Bird | Flare Blitz | U-turn | Sleep Talk

Ahhh, priority at its finest! Talonflame my chosen revenge killer and probably one of the best in the OU metagame only really getting out classed by Genesect. The last and final move in my moveset may come off as strange but I have nobody else who can absorb sleep status for the team and with Venusaur running rampant in the meta game I felt it was more important to have a pokemon who can take the sleep status and put it to use. Outside of this, its a rather standard set and works at what it does best, simply weaken your opponents team down to around 30% or so and remove Talonflame's threats to sweep or revenge kill nearly anything in the OU metagame. Brave Bird boosted by Choice Band is a really powerful STAB and little resists it.
 
hi nice team , i will do a little rate
i think your mega luk craves for aura sphere , you can use instead of dark pulse or vacum wave , aura sphere greatly boosts its damage output and helps it bypass many troublesome pokemon like bliss/chansey ,
the rest of the sets look fine but you might also want to run 176 speed evs on talon so you can hit thundurus-t with fb.
 
Hello there.

I really don't understand why so many RMT user aren't putting nearly as much effort into their RMTs as they have done before. It's is rather hard to rate a team when (at least for me) there isn't a team preview of the mons (with all six mons side by side, as it is easier to determine weaknesses this way). Although most importantly, how can you have only one to three sentence descriptions for each teamember? Furthermore, there isn't a threat list or even a team building process -- I don't even know what you are started with in this team. It's important to know because if you center a team around a X mon, raters will usually try to not remove X mon.

I was going to rate this until I read your team and realized YOU AREN'T EVEN POKEBANK (unless you've, like, got a Japenese DS or something). I was prepared to rate a Pokebank team when I got here but it seems to me you are limited on what you can use so I sadly cannot rate this. (I am assuming this is not Pokebank since you follow an "Item Clause" that is nonexistent on PS or PO's ladder systems.)

Also, Lucario is WEIRD. Where is Aura Sphere? Sleep Talk on Talonflame is mighty useless when there is Tailwind and Will-O-Wisp to consider (or even Roost; Sleep Talk is that bad).

I think you should change the title of this team so it doesn't read "Pokebank" as it misleads a few raters. I'm sorry I came here I was GOING to rate but it isn't Pokebank so I am afraid I cannot oblige.
