    [PokeCommunity.com] My Physical Sweeping Team
    Scarlet (Gyarados) Lv100 (Female)
    Item: King's Rock
    Nature: Adamant
    Abillity: Intimidate
    Dragon Dance
    Waterfall
    Ice Fang
    Earthquake
    EV: 252 ATK / 252 SPD / 4 HP

    My lead Pokemon, use Dragon Dance once, then fire away with whatever attack I feel necessary. Sometimes I don't even use Dragon Dance and just hit my opponent.

    Hunter (Salamence) Lv100 (Male)
    Item: Shell Bell
    Nature: Adamant
    Ability: Intimidate
    Dragon Dance
    Dragon Claw
    Stone Edge
    Earthquake
    EV: 120 HP / 252 ATK / 136 SPD

    A backup for Gyarados. It also works similar to Gyarados, I start with Dragon Dance and then fire away with the right attack. With its beastly attack stat, its by far the strongest Pokemon on my team.

    Lexits (Steelix) Lv100 (Male)
    Item: Choice Band
    Nature: Relaxed
    Ability: Sturdy
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge
    Gyro Ball
    Explosion
    EV: 252 HP / 120 ATK / 136 Sp. Def

    A defensive wall and a Physical Sweeper all in one, with its high defensive stat and a managable offensive stat, its a pretty good pokemon to have around, and if it's health is low, I use Explosion to clear the field.

    Teddi (Ursaring) Lv100 (Female)
    Item: Leftovers
    Nature: Adamant
    Ability: Guts
    Earthquake
    Fire Punch
    Body Slam
    Swords Dance
    EV: 252 HP / 252 ATK / 4 SPD

    Again, works similar to Gyarados & Salamence. Use Swords Dance to boost its attack stat, then fire away with the remaining attacks.

    [PokeCommunity.com] My Physical Sweeping Team
    Blaze (Infernape) Lv100 (Male)
    Item: Muscle Band
    Nature: Adamant
    Ability: Blaze
    Flare Blitz
    Stone Edge
    Swords Dance
    Close Combat
    EV: 4 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD

    Not the best Pokemon of the bunch, but is managing to hold its own. Basically a fire type Teddi. Use Swords Dance to boost strength, then fire away with remaining attacks.

    Electra (Electivire)
    Item: Expert Belt
    Nature: Adamant
    Ability: Motor Drive
    Thunderpunch
    Ice Punch
    Meditate
    Cross Chop
    EV: 4 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD

    I'm not really gonna explain this one because the explanations are starting to make me feel redundant.

    Gyarados pretty much makes a sweep of my opponents (if i am lucky) before anyone else usually makes it out. So I haven't really set up a strategy for this team yet.
     
    Ok so this is Heavy Offense basically.

    Remove Steelix as it doesn't fit in and replace it for this Azelf. Lead with it.

    Azelf @ Light Clay
    Ability: Levitate
    EVs: 16 HP/188 Def/252 Spd/52 SDef
    Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
    - Taunt
    - Stealth Rock
    - Reflect
    - Light Screen

    Dual Screens make sweeping with this sort of team ALOT easier. Evs let you never be OHKO'd by CB Tar under Reflect even after SS, they also ensure you get up everything against Heatran and Metagross under Light Screen and Reflect respectively.

    Put SD Lucario/Scizor over Ursaring, they really outclasses it as an SDers. This also helps get Rotom out of the way for Gyarados and wear it down between them.

    Earthquake >> CC on Vire has better coverage on that set.

    Put Life Orb on everything bar Azelf or you wont be sweeping with this style of play.
     
    I agree with Dark Azelf, but two Pokemon come to mind that basically OHKO this entire team: Starmie and Dugtrio. They outrun all of your Pokemon (the Dragon Dancers help out, but Skarmory can easily pseudo-haze them, and if you should come across a Choice Scarf Starmie... good luck), but if Starmie has Choice Specs, it's almost a guarantee of an OHKO (and Dugtrio massacres Electivire and Infernape; especially Electivire if your opponent can predict a Thunderpunch, otherwise it's a guaranteed revenge-kill). So, I'd recommend you stick Pursuit on one of your Pokemon to be able to revenge-kill Starmie, and depending on the Pokemon, that should help take care of Dugtrio.

    Or, another option, is to stick a Scarf on, say, Infernape. I'm a little rusty on his base Speed, but an Adamant nature should work in outrunning both Starmie and Dugtrio. Close Combat would OHKO Dugtrio, no doubt, and as for Starmie, you'd have to go with Stone Edge, which is risky.

    I, personally, think a Special Sweeping Scarfed Infernape would work wonders. If I recall, it looks something like:

    Infernape @ Choice Scarf
    Rash OR Naive Nature
    4 Atk, 252 Sp.Atk, 252 Spd OR:
    24 Atk, 252 Sp.Atk, 232 Spd
    - Fire Blast/Overheat
    - Hidden Power [Ice]
    - Grass Knot
    - Close Combat

    Grass Knot takes care of Starmie, and most of these moves would be enough to KO a Dugtrio. Plus, this would help get rid of Skarmory a lot easier than with Flare Blitz, in my opinion. Close Combat always remains for Blissey, of course.
     
    I like the team but I honestly have to tell you to consider jolly quick feet ursaring because since you have no screens on this team to improve your ursarings survivability he is going to go down pretty fast quick feet ursaring has not only the speed but the power to get sweeping done so in place of your ursaring I'm reccomending

    ursaring@toxic orb
    ability: quick feet
    evs: 6hp/252attack/252speed

    sword dance
    earthquake
    facade
    fire punch

    the sets simple enough
    eq is for the steel who arn't flying or levitating. fire punch destroys skarm and bronzong after a sword dance also fire punch checks your levitating ghost. Then facade hits everything else hard that doesn't resist it

    or if you want to still run a bulky variant of the bear migrate some of the attack evs to defence to get her some more bulk since she is raising her attack through sd anyway a few evs in attack won't be missed.

    Also maybe make e-core a mixed attacker with hp grass or make your infernape a mixed attacker with grass knot because this team will have it's butt handed to it by a swampert.

    One more change is replace steelix with a sassy levitate bronzong imm post a set when I get home but your team has far far to many eq weaknesses 3 if you leave steelix in. If you bring in bronzong he not only resist ground move completly it takes stone edges for gyarados, ice beams and things like that for mence plus psychic and flying moves for infernape
