Several events lead to this group of pokes representing me in battle tower. And at first glance they are completely uncompatible.
Scizor@life orb
agility
iron head
night slash
x scissor
Espeon@choice specs
reflect
grass knot
phycic
shadow ball
Electrivire@chesto berry
thunderbolt
earthquake
cross chop
ice punch
They are all EV trained and competetive. But at first look this team looks completely unrunable right?
Heres the scary bit....THEY ABSOLUTIALLY AXED THE PLACE INCLUDING THE TYCOON!

Choice specs reflect = no. Unless you really know how to pull it off, but in the battle tower it's just unnecessary.
And
put expert belt or chocie band on Vire. Chesto berry is too situational.

For specs Espeon ditch reflect and put in HP. and its not that surprising E-vire takes out Milotic and Dragonite then takes a dive to safely get Espeon in who murders Rhyperior.

Erm, okay.
Espeon@choice specs
Hidden Power (Fighting)
grass knot
Psychic

I have no idea why you're running Choice Specs with Reflect.
Electrivire@Expert Belt / Life Orb
thunderbolt
earthquake
cross chop
ice punch

Yeah, maybe on your first 20 battles =/
A single Infernape eats this team alive. Even the Scarfed Outrage abusing Garchomps you'll encounter gives this team problems.
Also, this team lacks potential power, or speed. It varies. If you want my input, drop Espeon for Starmie for more type coverage.

reflect needs to be changed i know. i just forgot. thanks for the reminder.
chesto berry was there so vire could take out that cheap milotic hypnosis combo used by the tycoon. ill swap with expert belt or go get a lum berry.
thank you.
oh iceman: they continued to axe for the next 7 battles after the tycoon so we will see....as i said they have come this far so easily for a team that looks unrunable so dont underestimate them.

If you're worried about sleep, get a sleep or status absorber.

You could just add Sleep talk to one of your pokemon.

AKA a sleep absorber ;/
Like CBcross with sleep talk, the 'ol ADV standard that packed a PUNCH. But I'd go for an overall status absorber like starmie, natural cure FTW.
