Weird BP Team

Zathura

i only say weird cause there's no ninjask lead

Smeargle (M) @ Focus Sash/Salac Berry
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Ingrain
- Baton Pass
- Spore
- Taunt/Substitute
---
Lead for Ingrain. Spore if slower, Taunt/Ingrain and then Taunt.
This hasn't been working too well so maybe just standard with Sub over Taunt and Salac over Focus Sash.

Floatzel (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 40 HP/252 Def/216 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Waterfall
- Bulk Up
- Taunt
- Baton Pass
---
Standard?

Umbreon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP/6 Def/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Mean Look
- Wish
- Snatch
---
Snatch seemed more exciting than Taunt. Otherwise, just for special walling and pass Mean Look.

Mr. Mime (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Soundproof(?)
EVs: 252 HP/120 Spd/136 SDef
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Baton Pass
- Encore
- Psychic
---
Standard. Are there any real advantages to use Filter over Soundproof?

Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP/160 Def/96 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Baton Pass
- Rock Polish
- Earthquake
- Roost
---
Wall physical.

Blaziken (M) @ Shell Bell
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 44 HP/252 Atk/212 SAtk
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Sky Uppercut
- Fire Blast
- Baton Pass
- Hidden Power [Ice]/[Psychic]
---
Recipient mixed Blaziken. Maybe HP Psychic to deal with Weezing maybe. I figured I could get more mileage out of shell bell because this is cleaner.

That's it. Right away I can see I have problems with Gyarodos, Azelf and some others.
Thanks in advance.

You don't want Shell Bell. You don't particularly care about your cleaner's HP, you want all offense. HP Psychic is useless. The only Pokemon that should even consider HP Psychic is Unown. Flamethrower / Fire Blast hit Weezing harder than HP Psychic.

You don't want to use Sky Uppercut or Fire Blast, either. When you pass +Special Attack, your goal is to OHKO everything. Missing automatically ruins that plan.

Flamethrower > Fire blast definetely.

Considering its mixed, you have plenty of options, one being focus punch, though I wouldn't reccomend it. Brave Bird if you want to sacrifice your fighting STAB and don't care about recoil. But as the second poster said, you don't care about losing your HP with this guy, and if you just want to ignore attack on the whole, focus blast. But brick break is still your main option here, tis more reliable.

EDIT: IF blaziken ever gets ko'd, you have a big weavile weakness that could potentially sweep your entire team. Besides blaziken, floatzel is the only one who doesn't die to its attacks, but weavile will still hit hard on it. Remember, this is if blaziken is out of the game, so to rid yourself of weaviles, keep it alive.
 
Why would you want Baton Pass on Blaziken? Generally, when you pass to the final poke its to sweep the opponents team and say Good Game. You could easily drop BP to get more coverage with especially with a movepool including: Earthquake, Night Slash, Brick Break, Brave Bird, Flare Blitz, and Substitute. Obviously, you won't want to lower your HP with Brave Bird and Flare Blitz when you should be running a Life Orb anyway. Hopefully this helps.
