So I wasn't able to complete my last team, but in the mean time I was watching some vids of online battles and shoddy logs to get a better grasp at the metagame. Doing that I started building another team though I only came up with 4 or 5 members for it, so I wantd to ask for sugestions from the community.
The Team:
Azelf @Focus Sash
EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spa/252 Spe
Naive Nature
Ability: Levitate
-Stealth Rock
-Explosion
-Taunt
-Fire Blast
My lead, during the last weeks I've taken a liking to Azelf, it's a good lead overall, decent speed, Focus Sash to garanty a SR, Fire Blast over Psychic for steel leads.
Infernape @Life Orb
EVs: 64 Atk/253 Spa/192 Spe
Naive Nature
Ability: Blaze
-Close Combat
-Grass knot
-Hidden Power Ice
-Flamethrower
Seemd pretty decent, able to pull off good sweeps if backed up properly, also since I've been reading that during the suspect ladders without Mence, grass types are growing in usage so why not pack infernape on the team.
Scizor @Life Orb
EVs: 4 Hp/252 Atk/252 Spe
Adamant Nature
Ability: Technician
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Brick Break
-Quick Attack/Bug Bite
I like Scizor, it's one of the most popular pokemon in OU, it's a commun choice overall so I don't have to explain. changed it from Choice Banded to SDer, because I don't like Choice items that much, being trapped in a move and all, plus having 3 Choice users on my team seemd alot, so I had to cut it from Scizor, while the SDers works just fine as a mid-game sweper.
Starmie @Leftovers
EVs: 136 Hp/156 Def/216 Spe
Timid Nature
Ability: Natural Cure
-Rapid Spin
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Recover
This is my Rapid Spinner, my Infernape and scizor thank Starmie for clearing my field from hazards, and Starmie with T-Bolt has a chance of KOing Gyarados if he already suffered some damage (Correct me if I'm wrong).
Flygon @Choice Scarf
EVs: 4 Hp/252 Atk/252 Spe
Adamant Nature
Ability: Levitate
-Earthquake
-Outrage
-U-Turn
-Stone Edge
It was one of my options for the last 2 spots and was backed up by 2 posts, as it can pose a threat to tank Zapdos if it doesnt carry HP Ice. Also this flygon can fill the roll to scout my oponent in place of scizor and preform as a decent revenge killer.
Tyranitar @Choice Band
EVs: 160 Hp/252 Atk/96 Spe
Adamant nature
Ability: Sand Stream
-Crunch
-Pursuit
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
My last, but not least, choice for the team, it can also deal with the said Zapdos, plus it can deal with some usual Scizor counters.
So I updated the post with the actual team, but I still wanted sugestions. Since changing my Scizor to SDer, I have to choose betwen having bug bite or quick attack in the last slot, the latter being good to counter zapdos and the former good agaisnt some waters.
