    I think that this is the first Bug-Type team since a while so here goes:

    1. Screendian: Ledian@Focus Band
    -Swords Dance
    -Substitute
    -Baton Pass
    -Aerial Ace
    *Didn't want to use Ninjask, he's overused. Ledian does nearly the same thing, just no Speed.

    2. Enduryther: Scyther@Salac Berry
    -Endure
    -Reversal
    -Baton Pass
    -HP Ghost
    *Gets Swords Dance from Ledian. Sweeps with Reversal and HP Ghost. Baton Pass to keep stats if he comes up with something he cant beat.

    3. Countercross: Heracross@Leftovers
    -Counter
    -Bulk Up
    -Megahorn
    -Brick Break
    *Counter is the main move. Bulk Up, the Counter till death. Megahorn and Brick Break for Sp. Sweepers.

    4. Sufflefree: Butterfree@Leftovers
    -Whirlwind
    -Sleep Powder
    -Psychic
    -Giga Drain
    *My pseudohazer. Also shuffles Sleep Powder. Psychic and Giga Drain are fillers.

    5. Glowbeat: Volbeat@Salac Berry
    -Tail Glow
    -Water Pulse
    -Giga Drain
    -Thunderbolt
    *Tail Glow and Sweep. My only Special Sweeper

    6. Aromasect: Parasect@Leftovers
    -Arometherapy
    -Giga Drain
    -Spore
    -Substitute
    *My Aromatherapist. Spore and Substitue are there to keep him alive.

    So tell me what do you people think.
     
    Maybe add in a Masquerain to help with fires or something because fire will kill your team instantly. Even Voltbeat will have a problem with it. I like using the all bugs :P Bugs are cool. Can't you evolve scyther or is there something like his speed goes down when he evolves? (I can't remember)
     
    Base Stats for Scizor:
    HP: 70
    Attack: 130
    Defence: 100
    Speed: 65
    Sp. Attack: 55
    Sp. Defence: 80

    Base Stats for Scyther:
    HP: 70
    Attack: 110
    Defence: 80
    Speed: 105
    Sp. Attack: 55
    Sp. Defence: 80

    Just in answer to your question
     
    Masquerain wouldn't change anything. He is Bug-Flying.
     
    Armaldo, on the other hand...
     
    Armaldo, on the other hand, gets outspeeded by Muk...
     
    Ooops, I was thinking Surskit sorry. I though Armaldo was good agaisnt poison types like muk though. Maybe put in a scizor for muk if you are so concerned about it. Although your team will still get killed by fire.
     
    Armaldo is Bug/Rock types. So, he would have normal resistance to fire. Surskit can learn Water Sport, which takes down Fire attack damage.
     
    Yah, maybe have a masquerain with water sport and maybe hydro pump for all your fire weaknesses. It would really help, the water sport would :)
     
    And there is no Yanma? Compound eyes with hypnosis! ^^ It'll get the job done pretty well too with 85% sleep (not as good as Butterfree's free spore) but the much faster speed is a lot better too. It still has supersonic just like butterfree as well.

    ... no Armaldo, one of the usable bugs on earth? Plus a rock blast with STAB kills flyers much easier due to aerial ace block. It can dance up itself so it doesn't need to rely on baton passes to sweep. Who cares about speed when you can tank a few hits? It's not like we've ever complained about Slowbro's speed, and it's one of the toughest tanks out there.
     
    On a team that's already dominated where every member is weak to fire, why the **** are you complaining that Armaldo is outsped by something with 249 neutral max defense or that Armaldo takes normal damage by fire?

    Daftness.
