GO GO POWER RANGERS

Huge offensive Suicune weakness. Most of them blaze past breloom and your own Suicune and you just can't do anything to them. Raikou is similar, but a little less threatening really. Like Sya said, SD Scizor is going to cause a ton of problems as well. Deoxys-S is also a problem, and really you can't stop it reliably at all.

Realistically, I don't see Feraligatr pulling off a sweep. The metagame hits too fast and too hard and feraligatr isn't fast or powerful enough to sweep, even after a salac boost. It still falls to standard scarfgar and deoxys-s, two VERY common pokemon. I would use a more direct approach if you're using Feraaligatr. I don't really think the speed from salac helps him much, so you can use the standard SDer (though like subsalac, it's inferior Heracross really).

Not really digging this one. There seems to be a lot of dead weight (like Breloom and Weavile...honestly don't see either one helping a whole lot). I would get rid of that and put in things that fill in your weaknesses. I'm hesitant to make too many changes since this seems to be more a a fun team (and yes I read that it's a serious team, but Feraligatr kind of gives off such an impression lol).

Also Dunsparce, don't you think going "womg u don no wat ur talkin bout" is just a little uncalled for? I actually agree with him...Breloom isn't a great choice for this team that already has plenty of physical attackers, none of which can hit very hard or sweep much of anything. "I honestly think" that was a useless post.

I haven't had trouble with SD Scizor whatsoever, but I noticed the Suicune weak. And a Zapdos weak. It seems as if I can't kill them =[

Gatr has done so well for me, so it's staying, sorry.

Lol @ Gatr. I honestly don't see how Breloom's a dead weight. It's won me a majority of my matches, and I know the common response would be "that's not saying much" but I don't think I could've won the matches I did without it.

Ownt?

For the team, I'm really trying to make Aero and Gatr work, so they're in for good. All the others are replacable. Any suggestions? (Although Breloom really helps)
 
your team is fine, if you are having some problems with cune and Zapdos try out something that can paralyze those threats such as blissey or porygon 2 but if you also have trouble with scizor then oven rotom can do a fine work in this team. (replace it with deoxys)
 
Actually, Oven Rotom could REALLY work out. It counters Zapdos, Scizor, AND Suicune, right?
 
Yeah, but you MAY have problems if scizor have pursuit. But at leat it doesnt OHKO you.
Then you could use this set:

Rotom-h@ Lefties
Bold
252 HP/252 Def/6 Sp.Atk
Light screen
Discharge
Overheat
Reflect
Or something like this.
 
Eh, I need a status absorber, so if I'm using Oven Rotom, it'll be Rest-Talk.
 
Overheat Rotom doesnt make a good ResTalker quite frankly, that S.Atk drop leaves it useless after one use.

If you want to counter said threats while still keeping that offensive feel in your team, then may I suggest a personal set I came up with?

Rotom-h @ Choice Scarf
Modest Nature (+S.Atk -Atk)
176 HP/ 124 S.Atk/ 208 Spd
- Trick
- HP Ground
- Shadow Ball
- Overheat

Does quite a fantastic job at three things: revenge killing, tanking and crippling a wall. The S.Atk EVs are enough to guarantee a OHKO on Azelf and the Speed EVs allow it to outspeed Skymin with the Scarf, as well as making sure Luke doesnt beat you with an SD Crunch, as you can outspeed it before it can try it. The rest in HP for better switching in on things like Scizor. HP Ground is mainly for hitting the ever so common Heatran switch ins, and as a makeshift answer to Electivire.

It's best if you look for a ResTalker in something else though
 
Blegh, I'm not a fan of Trick, but that's still a very interesting set.

Sadly, I've been talking, and it seems a lot of people agree Weavile is a dead weight.
 
That Rotom I suggested could take Weavile's place, as it roughly does the same thing,in terms of revenge killing, while providing useful resistances and counter for Scizor. Gatr and/or Breloom should be removed for better walls and a ResTalker.
 
Losing both Gatr and Rotom leaves me only with Aero and Deoxys-e as true sweepers. That means I get destroyed by 100% of the metagame =/
