    Azelf @ Focus Sash
    Naive Nature
    4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
    Levitate

    -Stealth Rock
    -Fire Blast
    -Explosion
    -Taunt


    Lead. Due to it's speed, Taunt is a great move. If the foe has a Spiker as a lead, then Taunt will get rid of them. Stealth Rock will also be a great move, as it makes sending out other Pokemon such as Salamence, Gyarados etc staying around. With Fire Blast, if Explosion Isn't going to do much I have a back up. Plan with this Pokemon is to Stealth Rock right away, if I get 1HKO, with Focus Sash I will have 1HP and then can use Explosion. If i would be okay after the first hit then Stealth Rock, either Fire Blast or Taunt, then Explode. Sense most Spikers are leads, and their usually more defensive than offensive, this lets me to Taunt, still SR, then Explode. This will help me out sense I don't have a Spinner.



    Duskinor @ Focus Sash
    Impish Nature
    252 HP / 28 Atk / 228 Def
    Pressure

    -Pain Split
    -Thunderpunch
    -Earthquake
    -Substitute


    Tank. After Azelf, Duskinor will come out and Substitute right away. Already with 1/4 HP gone, Pain Split can easily help that out. Sense Duskinor is so slow, it can get hit first, Sub, then Pain Split. With Focus Sash, 1HKOs will allow me to Substitute then use Pain Split.I went with Thunderpunch because i don't want to accidentally Burn the opponent, also why i went with Substitute over Will-O-Wisp. If i burn my opponent then Paraflinch with Blissy and Togekiss wouldn't work out so well. Earthquake as it's second strongest move after Focus Punch.






    Dragonite @ Leftovers
    Adamant Nature
    248 HP / 56 Atk / 204 Spe
    Inner Focus

    -Dragon Dance
    -Dragon Claw
    -Earthquake
    -Haze



    I chose this Pokemon because Dragonite is one of my favorite Pokemon. I decided i really needed a hazer. With Dragon Dance this is going to be a Hazer/Sweeper. I have Dragon Claw as a STAB and Earthquake will widen my range of Pokemon i can attack. Leftovers to keep it alive, Adamant nature for more Attack, and EV's in Speed for Hazing faster than the other teams sweeper can sweep. After i notice a trend of my opponents plan i can set up as a Sweeper, or get ready to Haze.




    Blissy @ Leftovers
    Calm Nature
    24 HP / 252 Def / 232 Spe
    Natural Cure

    -Softboiled
    -Aromatherapy
    -Thunder Wave
    -Seismic Toss

    A tank to help set up Togekiss. Thunder Wave to help Togekiss to hit first. Aromatherapy to heal the status of my team if any. Softboiled to help Blissy survive longer to Paralyze as much as possible. Seismic Toss for a back up in-case this Pokemon gets Taunted, or is fighting a Pokemon that's already Paralyzed and my team has no status problems. EV's in Def to help Blissy live longer, and Speed to help Blissy paralyze first.




    Togekiss @ Leftovers
    Modest Nature
    252 HP / 152 Def / 104 Spe
    Serene Grace

    -Nasty Plot
    -Air Slash
    -Flamethrower
    -Roost



    Sweeper. Nasty Plot as much as I'm able too, and then Attack. With Roost I should be able to stay alive a lot longer, and Nasty Plot a few more times. Air Slash as an awesome STAB that has a 30% chance to Flinch the other Pokemon, and with Togekiss's Ability it will be a 60% chance to Flinch. And that's on top of Thunderwave Blissy will use. A great Paraflinching combo set up with a STAB, Roost to heal, and Flamethrower as a back up. EV's in Speed to ensure i Attack first for a greater chance at Paraflinch.



    Scizor @ Life Orb
    Adamant Nature
    4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
    Technician

    -Swords Dance
    -Bullet Punch
    -Brick Break
    -U-Turn

    Sweeper. With SD and U-turn this makes a great combo. Use Swords Dance, then U-turn to Blissy. With a free turn i can switch to any Pokemon and either Paralyze, Pain Split, Sweep with Togekiss, Haze, etc, etc. With Technician, Bullet Punch is way stronger and i will always hit first. EV's in speed to help it hit faster. After Paralyzing everyone, and EV's in Speed it will ensure Scizor hits first. Brick Break as a STAB.
     
    Don't give Dusknior a Focus Sash, give it Leftovers.

    Haze on Dragonite? :| Give it Extremespeed or replace it with Mence entirely since it outclasses it. Also, Outrage > Dragon Claw so you get KOs on stuff.

    Change Blissey's Spe EVs to Sp.Def. EVs so it can do its job of being a special wall without getting 2HKO'd by Water Gun.

    Togekiss works I guess, there are better special sweepers though, like Latias or Starmie.

    SD + U-Turn = Waste of 1 turn. Give it Bug Bite > U-Turn. Gets a Tech Boost and doesn't make you lose your SD Boost when you switch.

    This team doesn't seem to have much synergy other then "oh crap special sweeper, go to blissey" which quite frankly, won't go very far. Dragonite is pretty bad and outclassed by Salamence apart from learning Extremespeed so put that on Nite over Haze. Dusknior is a pretty awful pokemon in general and is easy to set up spikes on, I would suggest replacing it with SubPain Split Rotom-A, faster and more powerful for stopping Skarmory/Forry who get spikes up really easily.

    Edit: ew, some of those comments sounded like a Syndrome post...
     
    Azelf @ Focus Sash
    Naive Nature
    4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
    Levitate

    -Stealth Rock
    -Fire Blast
    -Explosion
    -Taunt


    You said that you were going to use SR then possibly Taunt, that is wrong. If their lead is a Spiker/SRer/TSer or an Azelf, if you think you are faster you should Taunt first so they can't use their lead

    Duskinor @ Leftovers
    Impish Nature
    252 HP / 28 Atk / 228 Def
    Pressure

    -Pain Split
    -Shadow Punch/Earthquake
    -Trick Room
    -Substitute

    Ew, i don't like this at all TBH. Focus Sash isn't needed, Leftovers is a better option if your looking to SubSplit. Changed the moves a lil'

    Dragonite @ Leftovers
    Adamant Nature
    248 HP / 56 Atk / 204 Spe
    Inner Focus

    -Dragon Dance
    -Dragon Claw
    -Earthquake
    -Haze

    Never seen this strategy before so I don't know how good it is. I think I like it though

    Blissy @ Leftovers
    Calm Nature
    24 HP / 252 Def / 232 Spe
    Natural Cure

    -Wish
    -Protect
    -Toxic
    -Seismic Toss

    Wrong wrong wrong. Fix'd it for you

    Togekiss @ Leftovers
    Modest Nature
    252 HP / 152 Def / 104 Spe
    Serene Grace

    -Nasty Plot
    -Air Slash
    -Aura Sphere
    -Roost

    Pretty good, I'd recommend AS>FT though.

    Scizor @ Life Orb
    Adamant Nature
    4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
    Technician

    -Swords Dance
    -Bullet Punch
    -Brick Break
    -U-Turn

    Good.

    Comments in bold, okay team, needs some adjustments IMO though.
     
    As has been said, focus sash on Noir is bad. Go for Lefties.

    The Blissey's EVs need work. With such low base speed, it's not going to be outspeeding anything worth T-Waving anyways. Put them in SpD or HP instead.

    I don't have any experience with Togekiss, so I don't know how much a boosted Air Slash will do without any SpA EVs, but Smogon says go with this spread: 252 HP / 152 SpA / 104 Spe

    Scizor is good, though Brick Break isn't for STAB like you said, just coverage.
     
    SD + U-Turn = Waste of 1 turn. Give it Bug Bite > U-Turn. Gets a Tech Boost and doesn't make you lose your SD Boost when you switch.
    Orly does switching while having Bug Bite retains the SD boost? It should be when you use it, not when you switch.
     
    Don't give Dusknior a Focus Sash, give it Leftovers.

    Haze on Dragonite? :| Give it Extremespeed or replace it with Mence entirely since it outclasses it. Also, Outrage > Dragon Claw so you get KOs on stuff.
    Well, you're right. Haze is practically useless as Dragonite is usually treated as a physical sweeper or mixed. Outrage will be able to KO a lot more Pokemon than Dragon Claw and you could just switch out if you're confused.
