    Hi guys, i just need feedback and suggestions on the team i'm going to make! Here it is:

    Haxorus
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 att, 252 spe, 6 hp
    Moves: Dragon dance, dragon claw, earthquake, brick break
    Item: Focus Sash
    Ability: Mold Breaker

    Aerodactyl
    Nature Jolly
    EVs: 252 att, 252 spe, 6hp
    Moves: Earthquake, Stone Edge, Crunch, Aerial Ace
    Item: Mega Stone

    Tentacruel
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 252 hp, 252, def, 6 hp
    Moves: Rapid Spin, Toxic Spikes/Toxic, Scald, Hex
    Item: Black Sludge

    Sableye
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 252 hp, 200 def, rest spe
    Moves: WOW, night shade, taunt, recover
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Prankster

    Porygon-Z
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SpA, 252 Spe, 6hp
    Moves: Tri-attack, Thunderbolt, ice beam, dark pulse
    Item:Choice Specs
    Ability: Adaptability

    Scrafty
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 att, 252 spe, 6hp
    Moves: Dragon dance, drain punch, ice punch, thunder punch
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Shed skin

    Any thoughts/suggestions would be great!
     
    Brick Break is redundant with Earthquake on Haxorus. It needs Poison Jab to get past Fairies:
    -Dragon Dance
    -Outrage/Dragon Claw/Dual Chop
    -Earthquake
    -Poison Jab
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 36 HP/252 Atk/220 Spe
    Item: Lum Berry/Life Orb
    Ability: Mold Breaker

    Crunch doesn't give Mega Aerodactyl any noteworthy coverage:
    -Stone Edge
    -Earthquake/Fire Fang
    -Ice Fang/Aqua Tail
    -Aerial Ace/Roost
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Aerodactylite

    I don't think Tentacruel cuts it as a Rapid Spinner this gen. While Starmie has fallen out of favor in Gen VI, it still has its uses:
    -Hydro Pump/Surf
    -Ice Beam
    -Psyshock/Thunderbolt
    -Rapid Spin
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Natural Cure

    Sableye should use a Bold nature with 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef for more balanced bulk.

    Porygon-Z isn't viable in OU, IMO. It's outclassed by Crawdaunt as an Adaptability abuser and by other special attackers such as Greninja (because Greninja is faster):

    Crawdaunt:
    -Crabhammer
    -Aqua Jet
    -Knock Off
    -Crunch/Swords Dance
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Band/Life Orb/Mystic Water/Splash Plate
    Ability: Adaptability

    Greninja:
    -Hydro Pump
    -Ice Beam
    -Extrasensory
    -Dark Pulse/Hidden Power (Grass/Fire)/Grass Knot/Spikes
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash
    Ability: Protean

    Scrafty's 4x weakness to Fairy hinders it in OU. Togekiss, Sylveon and Clefable are Fairies you should watch for. A Fairy resist on the team is ideal, such as Heatran, Amoonguss and Aegislash:

    Aegislash:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Pursuit/Iron Head/Sacred Sword
    -King's Shield
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 244 HP/252 SAtk/12 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Substitute
    -Toxic
    -King's Shield
    -Shadow Ball
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 244 HP/252 SAtk/12 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Shadow Ball
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Flash Cannon/Sacred Sword
    -Sacred Sword/Pursuit
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Spooky Plate/Spell Tag

    or
    -Swords Dance
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Iron Head/Shadow Claw
    -Sacred Sword/Head Smash
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    Heatran:
    -Lava Plume
    -Protect
    -Taunt/Roar/Stealth Rock
    -Toxic/Will-o-Wisp
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 248 HP/8 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Flash Fire

    or
    -Fire Blast/Overheat
    -Flash Cannon
    -Earth Power/Stone Edge (latter Choice Scarf only)
    -Flamethrower/Fire Blast/Hidden Power (Ice)
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Choice Specs/Choice Scarf
    Ability: Flash Fire

    Amoonguss:
    -Spore
    -Giga Drain
    -Sludge Bomb/Hidden Power (Fire)
    -Stun Spore/Clear Smog
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Black Sludge
    Ability: Regenerator
     
    Thanks for the tips, although it wasn't my intention to battle in OU D:

    Haxorus:
    I agree with the set you provided, although, wouldn't a jolly nature suffice, in order to outspeed. Agreed with the poison jab though, i guess my team needs a bit more coverage against fairies, since its really weak to it.

    Aerodactyl:
    Totally agree, i really didn't know what move set to give it!

    Tentacruel:
    I tried utilising a more defensive set since i needed a tank, although your set gives an option of a special sweeper-ish. Would scald be better than hydro pump/surf, since it gives it a chance to burn, and higher accuracy than hydro pump.

    Sableye:
    Thanks for that. I noticed sableye couldn't really stay in too long to do the usual (taunt, WOW)

    Porygon-Z:
    Hmm, i see your point, i just wanted a pokemon to switch into a potential ghost moves, and neutrality to most types.

    Suggested pokemon:
    I use both greninja and aegis lash for my other team, I just wanted another team :)
    Heatran - I see EQ as a really common move, if i use heat ran, should i use an air balloon? Other than that, the set is really good!
    Amoongus - I might switch amoongus for tentacruel

    Haxorus sits at an awkward Speed tier, so Adamant would be the better pick.

    Scald is better on defensive sets, IMO, which this Starmie isn't.
     
    Do you think i could switch out scrafty for:
    Infernape
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 att, 4 hp, 252 spd
    Moves: Flare blitz, Mach Punch, Close Combat, U-turn
    Item: Choice band
    Ability: Iron Fist

    Infernape's best niche this time is a mixed attacker:
    -Fire Blast/Flare Blitz
    -Close Combat
    -Thunder Punch
    -Hidden Power (Ice)/Mach Punch/U-turn
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 212 Atk/44 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt
