Introduction
Hey guys, this is my first post at RMT and I'd like to introduce a team that I'm using in OU(suspect). This team is built around the core of Charizard X and Gyarados Fly Z. After over 20 games, I find this two work extremely well. But I think it can be improved further since I can never enter Top 100 list. So I do need your kind advice to improve the team.
The Team
Charizard @ Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Flare Blitze
- Earthquake
Standrad three attack Zard-X. It is the core of this team. Charizard is a good mon to take the mega slot since both Zard-X and Zard-Y are powerful enough to threaten the opposite. After one DD, it can outspeed many mons like Pheromosa and some scarfers like Lele, Landorus-T. The combination of fire, dragon and ground moves make it unstoppable. It may need to switch into Magearna when in need since there is no other choices.Ability: Blaze

I need one to pressure Sableye and other stall, especially Unaware walls like Clef and Quagsire, so Lele becomes the fifth member. Since it is prepared for stall, it doesn't caarry scarf, but choose Spoon to boost its power. Taunt is good for a stall breaker. As for the last move, Psychic hits a harder that Psyshock, but T-bolt can deal with Skarmory and Celesteela. I'm using T-bolt atm. (The last move is changed to hp fire to hit siczor, ferro and Shedinja&M-Sable core, and can also do some damage to M-Metagross, Sakemory and Celesteela)

Problems:
1. It has a difficult time facing shedinja+M-Sableye, unless Lele runs hp fire.
2. M-Metagross can punch through this team once Skarmory is weakened or gone(and that is quite often the case).
3. It may need a ghost type mon to block spinner.
I really appreciate you opinion and advice to improve this team. Thank you all and sorry for my poor English (not my mother tongue).
Changes:
hp fire over t-bolt on Lele
ice beam over poison jab on Phero
252Atk + Salac Berry on Skarmory
Tapu Lele------> Greninja-Ash
