Swampert was awesome in advance and still is :)

Superpower

Beast

Starmie@ Choice Scarf
252 Spd / 252 SpA
Modest / Natural Cure
Psychic
Surf
ThunderBolt
Ice Beam

I got swept by a Salamence once so I got this. I want to put Rapid Spin over psychic, but that makes a nice gar revenge kill, and I don't know if CS Rapid Spin is a good idea.

Blissey@ Leftovers
252 Hp / 252 Def
Bold / Natural Cure
Seismic Toss
Thunder Wave
Protect
Wish

Blissey, yeah

Dragonite@ Life Orb
112 Atk / 196 SpA / 200 Spd
Mild / Inner Focus
Draco Meteor

I really like Dragonite so I put him on my team. Works just fine, but should I replace thunderbolt?

Tyranitar@ Choice Band
252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 Hp
Adamant / Sandstream
Stone Edge
Crunch
Pursuit
Aqua Tail

This thing is amazing.

I'm new to DP btw :)

Dissect my team D:
 
On lead Swamert, you should put Roar or Protect over Hydro Pump. Roar will let you phaze things like Ninjask or other annoying pokes or you can use Protect which is useful for scouting Choice attacks, gaining extra lefties recovery and surviving Explosions from lead Metagross or Azelf, etc. I also think the SpA EVs aren't necessary. You can put those EVs in SpDef to have a better chance to live HP Grass from leads like Heatran. Earthquake and Ice Beam give great coverage, so I think Hydro Pump isn't really needed.

On Dragonite, you could use Roost in place of Tbolt, as this will let you recover damage from repeated switch ins to SR. I can't see Tbolt being all that useful besides hitting Gyarados very hard, but Draco should do plenty to him with SR up. Roost is probably the superior option.

I don't think all of that speed is necessary on your CB Tar. You're still going to be slower than most offensive sweepers and you will lack the bulkyness to switch into stuff like Jolteon, Zapdos, Latias, etc. I would suggest using the 176 HP / 252 Atk / 80 Spe spread with Adamant nature. The specially defensive spread is also useful, but since you have Blissey to wall special attackers, it isn't needed. Also consider that Blissey will likely spread a bit of paralysis so you 252 Speed EVs could easily go to waste.

Scizor needs 248 HP EVs (assuming 31 HP IV) as it lets him switch into entry hazards without losing extra HP. It's probably not worth redoing though since you are using a WiFi team, but if you feel really motivated then this is something to look into.

Starmie should have Trick IMO as it is a very useful move and lets you stop things such as CM Suicune, Latias, and ruins Blissey. Psychic is really only useful for hitting Gengar, Machamp, and Heracross and it is a terrible attack to be locked into as you are easily pursuited by TTar, Scizor, or Metagross.

I am fond of Life Orb Starmie. It has enough speed, coverage, and power to threaten just about every poke in OU. You could also opt for Expert Belt if you want to live a little longer. You won't be able to revenge kill DDMence after the DD, but I really don't see DDMence hurting this team all that much. With SR on the field and a CB Scizor, he shouldn't be that difficult to take down.

Starmie @ Life Orb / Expert Belt
Natural Cure
Timid: 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe

Surf
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Recover / Rapid Spin

This Starmie is more useful IMO because of its great coverage and ability to change moves without switching out. It is also less susceptible to Pursuit and you can either use Rapid Spin to spin rocks (Rotom-A takes ~60% from life orb Surf) or use Recover to stick around longer. I notice you have a _HUGE_ MixApe weakness once Starmie is gone, so Recover will allow you to switch into Ape, scare it off and restore your HP.

I also just noticed that SD Lucario sets up on your CB Tar with ease and can then sweep your entire team and the only hope you have of stopping it is to Bullet Punch it after a few defense drops. Gliscor is probably the most hardcore Luke counter and you could easily switch him in for Swampert. Another option would be to replace your Dragonite with Salamence. Mence can perform the exact same role as Nite, with more speed, although he lacks Superpower. The advantage is that he can Intimidate Lucario and outspeed and KO him with Earthquake or Brick Break. Switching from Dragonite to Mence would be easier than Swampert -> Gliscor as it won't screw up your team's synergy at all really.
GL with the team.
 
Please read the rules and take particular note of rule 3:

RMT rules said:
3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Familiarize yourself with the rules, then feel free to post a new RMT.
