Okay, I'm finally done with this team. This team is focused about offense, without taking too much risks.
RATE IT. FORGOT TO PUT IT IN THE TITLE. THANK YOU, MYSELF. CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.

Lead :
Uxie @ Choice Scarf
EVs : 252 HP, 136 Def, 120 Spd
Timid nature, Levitate ability
-Trick
-Stealth Rock
-U-Turn
-Thunder Wave
This lead is an amazing one. Setting up SR and the ability to wall pretty effectively makes it perfect for me. Trick changes the items, Choice Scarf the enemy's lead, then use T-wave to neutralize the effects of the CScarf, double win. With a paralyzed lead, choice locked into something that probably won't help them, it forces a switch. A free turn to set up SR, U-turn to scout on the next turn and switch to a counter. This Uxie can wall, although it's not a premier wall, it still gets the job done nicely. Mid-late game, Thunder Wave comes in handy.
This lead unlike the team doesn't focus on damage, it's a support lead to help me sweep properly later.

Late Game Sweeper #1
Swellow @ Flame Orb
EVs : 252 atk, 252 spd, 4 sp.def
Jolly nature, Guts ability
-Facade
-Brave Bird
-U-Turn / HP Fighting
-Protect
This can be an effective lead in the case the one I battle doesn't want legends. Protect gives me status immunity, also activates Flame Orb, another double win. STAB Facade and Brave Bird does massive damage, Brave Bird ones KO'd an lead Infernape. However, Brave Bird is half suicide, on the other hand, it's very useful when low on health. You pretty much know how this Swellow functions. My only concern is rock and steel types, which can wall her all day. HP fighting can be used instead of U-Turn for coverage against them.
Physical Sweeper #1
Feraligatr @ Leftovers
EVs : 252 atk, 252 spd, 4 HP
Jolly nature, Torrent ability
-Waterfall
-Ice Punch
-Earthquake
-Sword Dance
While Salac Berry looks like the superior choice, it's not. Feraligatr's relatively bulky physical defense can give me a proper switch, Leftovers help heal the damage a little. Waterfall is for STAB, Ice Punch is for type coverage, EQ is for other water types. Sword Dance can be useful on someone who thinks setting up Toxic or trying to bang me with whatever support moves it has makes him suffer. As long as Feraligatr is faster it can sweep alright. Salac Berry comes into mind again, but Leftovers can help Feraligatr in the run against other physical attackers, helping it's already mention relatively bulky defenses.
Physical Sweeper #2
Absol @ Choice Scarf
EVs : 252 atk, 252 spd 4 HP
Adamant nature, Super Luck ability
-Night Slash
-Stone Edge
-Psycho Cut
-Superpower
Absol has good type coverage and it's awesome attack makes it a nasty physical sweeper for those who are not prepared. Night Slash provides STAB and is my main form of attacking, Stone Edge, Psycho Cut and Superpower are for type coverage, all moves have increased critical hit ratio, making them an excellent pair of moves with Super Luck.
While Choice Scarf doesn't seem the best for Absol, it patches up it's rather slow speed. Night Slash already does neutral damage to most types, and with STAB and Super Luck and the moves increased critical hit ratio, this thing is a must have. Other moves work good with Super Luck and being choice locked into something is still not such a problem unless it's a Dark Pokemon that is immune to Psycho Cut, which forces a switch. Other than that, this Absol set looks relatively fine for me.
Late Game Sweeper #2
Sceptile @ Life Orb
EVs : 252 atk, 252 spd, 4 HP
Naive nature, Overgrow ability
-Leaf Storm
-Leaf Blade
-Focus Blast
-Earthquake
Sceptile is an excellent late game sweeper with whopping 120 base speed and ability to be mixed. Leaf Blade is the main way of attacking, Leaf Storm is for a situation that needs it, EQ and Focus Blast are for a little better coverage. Although I'm tempted to replace EQ with Rock Slide to provide better type coverage and Focus Blast with HP Water, again for type coverage.
I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with this Sceptile.
Special Sweeper
Ninetales @ Choice Scarf
EVs : 252 sp.att, 252 spd
Timid Nature, Flash Fire ability
-Flamethrower
-Energy Ball
-Dark Pulse
-HP Dragon 70
Ninetales is my only special sweeper because I left Gardevoir in favor of Swellow. Still, she isn't half bad. Choice Scarf on a base 100 Pokemon might look ridiculous, but then some slower scarfed Pokemon, Pinsir for example can move in for a OHKO with Earthquake. Safety measures.
Still, she does a good special sweeping, and can possible revenge kill, although I'm not too sure, it's still a nice special sweeper. She's extraordinary good teammate to Sceptile, whose Fire-type buddies might look for him. Flash Fire makes her own fire attack stronger, but meh, absorbing them is still fine.

Special Sweeper #2
Gardevoir @ Choice Scarf
EVs : 252 atk, 252 spd
Timid nature, Trace ability
-Psychic
-Focus Blast
-Shadow Ball
-Will-O-Wisp (needs to be removed, yet to find a suitable replacement0
Gardevoir is an excellent special attacker and a possible special sponge. 125 Base sp.att and 115 sp.def isn't something to laugh at, although you can laf at the speed easily, Choice Scarf comes into play, allowing me to score some good KOs on UnFocus Sashed enemies, Psychic is a great move, and it gets STAB, and does hefty damage. Focus Blast and Shadow Ball are for type coverage. Will-O-Wisp might not look like the best idea, But it patches up Gardevoir's weak defense which will likely be targeted.
GARDEVOIR IS USED AS A REPLACEMENT MEMBER IN CASE THE OPPONET DON'T WANT LEGENDS. That means I can't bring Uxie with me. And Swellow becomes my lead too. (It's a pretty effective lead, although some particular leads might just mess her up, U-turn for scouting + countering)
Anyway how's my team and my no-legends solution member?
