Ever since Greninja was sent to ubers I've been struggling with my OU team. This is what I've come up with.

Excadrill @ Assault Vest
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Rock Tomb
- Iron Head

Hoping to surprise a few with the special bulk and take out a few Rotom-W. Rapid spin to help out charizard.

Rotom-Wash @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Trick
- Will-O-Wisp
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump

Not sure if I should keep up the trick gimmick or not. Great for stalling physical attackers.

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
- Protect
- Scald
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Toxic

Great special bulk. Hidden power grass to get rid of help get rid of other grass types

Charizard @ Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Flare Blitz

He wrecks things.

Scizor @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature

Defog with great bulk. Heat wave to get rid of ferrothorn

Assault Vest Excadrill is kinda meh, but the preferred EV spread for it is 120 HP/136 Atk/252 SDef with Adamant. I'd rather use Rock Slide over Rock Tomb; the extra power kinda helps.

There are better Wish users out there than Vaporeon, like Sylveon and Clefable. Their Wishes are still pretty large:

Sylveon:
-Wish
-Protect
-Hyper Voice
-Heal Bell
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate

Clefable:
-Wish
-Protect
-Moonblast
-Heal Bell/Thunder Wave
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Unaware

Scizor is just too bulky for Focus Sash. Night Slash doesn't let Scizor do anything particularly significant; Knock Off is the better option. Non-Mega Scizor should use:
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower
-Pursuit/Knock Off
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Technician

4 HP EVs make Charizard's HP even, meaning it dies to 2 Stealth Rock switch-ins in regular form. The last 4 EVs should just go to Defense.

Zapdos is outclassed by other Electric Pokemon in offensive roles (mainly Mega Manectric and both Thundurus formes). It should stick to defensive sets only:
-Thunderbolt
-Roost
-Hidden Power (Ice)/Defog
-Heat Wave/Toxic
Nature: Bold
EVs: 248 HP/172 Def/68 SAtk/16 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Thunderbolt/Volt Switch
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Heat Wave/Defog
-Roost
Nature: Calm
EVs: 248 HP/64 Def/180 SDef/16 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Dark Pulse doesn't let Thundurus hit anything noteworthy; HP Ice lets it hit Gliscor and Therian Landorus; HP Flying gives it a secondary STAB:
-Nasty Plot
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power (Ice/Flying)
-Thunder Wave/Focus Blast/Substitute
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Leftovers
Ability: Prankster

if Keldeo is using Calm Mind, it should use Substitute alongside its STABs to make boosting easier. Secret Sword is the preferred Fighting STAB, as it lets Keldeo bypass special walls like Chansey. Scald is also preferred because this Keldeo aims to stick around:
-Calm Mind
-Scald
-Secret Sword
-Substitute
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Leftovers

You're wasting away Mega Metagross' very good Speed, to be honest. 110 is very good. Change the nature to Jolly and the EV spread to 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe.

Have Latios as the Defogger of the team; the only non-Mega set Scizor should run is Choice Band:
-Draco Meteor
-Psyshock
-Hidden Power (Fire)/Surf/Earthquake
-Defog
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

Wash Rotom runs 44 Speed EVs to outspeed the odd Jolly Azumarill. Also, Wash Rotom gets worn down fast without any form of recovery, so Pain Split should go over Foul Play.
