Welcome :O Hi, I played with this team a few times and I noticed some weakenesses but not to sure what to do about them. I was put off writing a RMT, because adding pictures would take a while, but I think I've got time now. After looking at guides I made a team, but its all fairly regular, so try not to get bored. :(

Team
Swampert @ Leftovers
Relaxed
EVS: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
~ Stealth Rock
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Beam
~ Roar
A good lead with an only weakness to grass is a solid lead and with the ability to set up Stealth Rock and decent base stats in hp, defence and sp. def means that Swampert should be able to SR without any trouble, although will encounter some with Roserade.
Swampert can usually survive and come around later to pseudo-haze.

Tyranitar @ Babiri Berry
EVS: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant
~ Dragon Dance
~ Stone Edge
~ Crunch
~ Fire Punch
Tyranitar, the main Poke of my team. After a few Dragon Dances it can sweep entire teams. O_O (Over said, soon it will be a cliche).
With high attack and some good resistances the only thing Tyranitar has to watch out for are STAB surfs and Scizor's Bullet Punch, which unless the Babiri Berry has been used, will kill my Tar.

Rotom @ Leftovers
EVS: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 Spe
Bold
~ Thunderbolt
~ Shadow Ball
~ Will-O-Wisp
~ Leaf Storm
Rotom adds the much needed grass type move. Against a Mixpert, Rotom can easily 1HKO it and come also come in on an Earthquake that Tyranitar may encounter ( or else a fighting move or desperate Explosion).
Will-O-Wisp cripples physical sweepers and Thunderbolt gets rid of those pesky Gyarados. A spin blocker is pretty handy as well.

Gyarados @ Life Orb
EVS: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant
~ Dragon Dance
~ Waterfall
~ Ice Fang
~ Earthquake
Gyarados' good coverage and high Attack stat makes it a powerful sweeper in the OU metagame. Gyarados can switch in on EQ's and Surfs directed at Tyranitar for relatively low damage and damage the Poke.
I'm wondering about this Gyarados, as when I duelled someone on Shoddy, Gyarados fainted in both my matches, taken out easily by LO recoil and SR damage. I'm considering using a Bulky DD, but then the usual Bulky doesn't include Ice Fang, but Swampert has Ice Beam so it might be okay.

Scizor @ Choice Band
EVS: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant
~ Bullet Punch
~ U-Turn
~ Super Power
~ Pursuit
The usual CB Scizor set. Great for getting those Starmie who try to STAB surf or just U-Turning for STAB damage deals a lot.
Not much more to say, as you probably know about CB Scizor by now if you're RMT...Traps Gengars with Pursuit so they can't focus blast by Tar.

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
EVS: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 Spe
Bold
~ Wish
~ Protect
~ Surf
~ Hidden Power Electric
To help with the SR damage my Gyarados may encounter, a Wish Passer seems to be a good choice. With none of my Pokes having a recovery move, it makes Vaporeon a need for my team. HP Electric is to stop Gyarados in their tracks and Surf is for general STAB.
Protect is so Vap can hold another turn off so Wish can come true.
Final Comments
The team seems decent in movepool coverage, but if Scizor faints, I have no immunities to grass, which may be a problem.

Thanks for rating my team or just looking. I hope you can help improve my team. ^^
