Well on the above team I went with Heatproof EQ Bronzong to be Heatran bait, trick him into thinking I'm weak to fire, then EQ it gg Heatran!

Also if I replace Gallade with Azelf what's a good moveset for it, I've know Azelf to be a special sweeper I mean Gallade get STAB Close Combat.

Hidden Power Grass is inferior to Grass Knot is every way imaginable. It hits things like Swampert harder, and while it does hit Vaporeon for 10 extra base damage, the fact that both of these moves fail to 2HKO mean that you might as well go for the better leadoff move; Grass Knot. I guess if you want to...nail Lanturn on the switch, HP Grass is your best bet.

Well since you already have Zong as a lead you could try NPElf.

Azelf @ Life Orb
Nature : Timid
EV : 8 HP / 248 SpA / 252 Spe
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Psychic
- Grass Knot / Hidden Power [Ice]

^ 8 HP EV's allow you to survive CBScizor Bullet Punch after SR, just NP and sweep =)

Hp Fighting >> HP Ice. So you arent Heatran, Tar etc bait. Grass Knot is also pretty poor tbh, i have yet to see a bulky water wall Azelf lol (Slowking i guess lol, but that is NU soo~)

I also dont like LO on Azelf, alot of teams rely on Scizor to finish it off and LO it kinda kills itself, i honestly prefer expert belt and 42 hp + 216 peed evs (speed ties are eh imo) which lets you live a CB Pursuit from weavile granted you dont switch.

uhh i edited it, but i dont have my own computer with me, and its been two months since i did competitive battling (i was kinda late with this post) but i figured i started improving my team for when i get my computer back. Hope you dont mind some blanks. (I added lucario three days before i had to leave my computer so im the least sure with him.

If it still doesn't help because i can't remember the natures, i can call the person who currently has my computer w/ shoddy wether he can check my team.

Metagross makes a good lead :

Metagross @ Occa Berry
Nature : Adamant
Trait : Clear Body
EVs : 252 HP / 236 Atk / 12 Def / 8 Spe
-Stealth Rock
-Meteor Mash
-Bullet Punch / Earthquake
-Explosion

it can Gurrantee you to set up SR

its stupid to run Max SpD on Blissey and forget about maxing its Def , since without SpD EVs blissey still can take on many Special moves , Run 252 Def / 80 SpA / 176 SpD EVs on blissey

RestTalk Rotom is fine

Hidden Power Ice for ScarfTran , its stupid to use Gyro Ball on Tran since it will be fast O.O

use This EV Spread for DDTar : 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP and Jolly Nature

SD Lucario should always run with 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP and Life Orb to wreak havic after 1 SD , and yeah use these 2 moves for the last slots of Lucario :

-ExtremeSpeed
-Ice Punch

He was saying to use Azelf's Attack stat so I need Physical moves if he's gonna be replacing Gallade.

use this set for your Lead Tentacruel :

Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Nature : Calm
Trait : Liquid Ooze
EVs : 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
-Toxic Spikes
-Rapid Spins
-Sludge Bomb / Hidden Power Electric
-Surf

The given EVs allow Tentacruel to counter some of the more threatening sweepers in OU. Max HP with the 120 EVs invested in Defense ensure that standard Infernape's Close Combat is always a 3HKO. Swords Dance variants can only amount to a 2HKO, which means Tentacruel can switch in, take a Close Combat, and then Surf for the KO. The Calm nature and Special Defense EVs make sure that a Choice Scarf Heatran will never 2HKO Tentacruel.

Tenta is a poor lead. It loses to like all of them lol. Roserade is a much better T-Spiker lead.

Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Nature : Calm

And has a good chance to get OHKO'd with a SD LO Stone Edge with SR up. ;[

For Gallade should I use an Adamant or Jolly nature? I know Gallade has an 80 base speed and the only real threats to Gallade are either significantly slower or faster so I think running Jolly for the speed boost he still won't catch up to Adamant Lucario.

The set I will run is...
Gallade @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Speed
Moves:
-Psycho Cut
-Shadow Sneak
-Fire Punch / Stone Edge
-Close Combat

There's even Shadow Sneak for a priority move. All the sets on Smogon say to take my pick as a nature I would go with Adamant for more power but only if I'm taking a risk with the speed.

You outrun Adamant Gyarados, Adamant Heracross, Timid Heatran, and Adamant Lucario (edited out the rare ones). So, really depends on you, what your team has problems with, etc. Use Ice Punch over Fire Punch / Stone Edge, it lets you sweep through Gliscor, Salamence, and the like without problems (which cause other Fighting-types problems).

You can Surprise SDLuke that Gallade is faster than him using Jolly , or even lol at Gyarados that didnt use Dragon Dance yet , sadly Gallade can be wiped out easily from a Physical hit =(

Are you guys sure? SDLuke's I imagine will pack Jolly nature since it's already getting Attack boosts from SD. And if he's running Choice Band I'd also expect Jolly. I also figured that Fire Punch on Gallade can OHKO Scizor after the LO bosst and he can survive a Choice Banded Bullet Punch but he will be seriously dented.

most of the time people uses adamant on SD Luke for more Power in Order to deal lots of KOs with Close Combat that Jolly cant . you can still deal with Lucario if he hadnt setted up an SD , Choice Band Lucario cannot OHKO Gallade >.> so If you invested some HP EV , Gallade would survive and KO Lucario

No, hatched pokemon are always at level five. I don't think there is a way to get the level any lower than that.
Also, I've cloned and tested pokemon on Emerald. Evolving them earlier or later does not change their stats at any given level (two level 50 Metagross clones will have the same stats, even if one is evolved asap and the other is evolved at level fifty).
Unless you're trying to get in a move that only the evolution can learn, there's no need to rush.
