Editted my team around, please rate and give suggestions as you see fit!

Ninjask - lead baton passer
Item: Focus sash
Ability: Speed Boost
Nature: Jolly
Moves:
Sword dance
Baton pass
X-scissor
protect

EV's: 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 Spe

Comments:
Basically all i want to do with my lead is get get straight into my sweep, with tyranitar + gyarados as potential receivers. The easy two speed and attack boost would really help my sweepers, and with lots of defensive ev's i should be able to switch back to him later and get at least some more speed.

Tyranitar - sweeper
Item: life orb
Ability: sand stream
Nature: jolly
Moves:
earthquake
crunch
stone edge
fire punch

EV's: 4 HP / 252 att / 252 Sp

Comments:
Tyranitar will be my sweeper, hopefully with the addition of as much speed+att from baton pass will be pretty effective right off the bat. I chose life orb over choice stuff because i want to be able to have good type coverage, and dont want to get stuck using a move that can easily be walled. fire punch is obviously for scizor/steel in general, if i even stand a chance. I paired him up with gyarados because of their resistance combinations, whatever is super effective to tyranitar, gyarados can easily counter and vise versa.

Cresselia - Mix wall
Item: Leftovers
Ability: levatate
Nature: Bold
Moves:
moonlight
reflect
ice beam
toxic

EV's: 252 hp / 252 Def / 4 SpD

Comments:
Main wall for any sweepers, basically hoping i have had exeggutor in for sunny day so moonlight will help, but also be able to use toxic/reflect as well as ice beam for any dragon/flying sweepers.

Infernape - Type coverage
Item: expert belt
Ability: Blaze
Nature: hasty
Moves:
Close combat
Flamethrower
Grass knot
Will-o-wisp/stealth rock? unsure.

EV's: 252 SpA / 64 Atk / 192 Spe

Comments:
Infernape should be a very helpful fill-in-the-gap with fire, fighting, grass, and the possibility to burn and set up for a revenge kill if counter is switched in, or stealth rock, im unsure.

Exeggutor - type coverage + solar beam
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Chlorophyll
Nature: Modest
Moves:
Solar beam
Sunny day
Psychic
sleep powder

EV's: 252 SpA / 4 hp / 252 Spe

Comments:
Switched in at the right time could allow me to sunny day as the opponent switches out, and then sweep with solar beam. Chlorophyll will basically allow me to outspeed everything, and lets solar beam not need to charge, just need to hope weather doesnt change. I'm debating over grass knot and leech seed, and so far am leaning towards grass knot. grass knot will allow me to quickly get rid of any water that threatens tyranitar switching in, and leach seed would just give me another needed turn of preparation, in which the opponent could easily switch to a wall.

Gyarados - DD sweep
Item: life orb
Ability: Intimadate
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
dragon dance
Waterfall
Ice Fang
Earthquake

EV's: 252 Att / 252 Spe / 4 Hp

Comments:
Gyarados will be my backup to tyranitar, anything that counters him, gyarados can usually counter pretty effectively. without the need of the baton pass, but the possibility, i think gyarados can sweep using dragon dance then any move he wants. Not much too explain, earthquake is to get rid of pesky electric types + any land creature that STAB waterfall doesnt take care of. ice fang to get rid of grass, as well as flying that earthquake can reach.

Changed most of my team around, wondering what you guys think! By the way, i really want to try to keep ninjask as lead, i know he isnt the BEST but i like the idea of an early baton pass. although i do have an already ev trained skarmory, stealth rock, brave bird, roost, and toxic, and im sort of considering him that way infernape can have will-o-wisp. Tell me what ya think!

Exeggutor is bad in OU because of its typing and its poor stats. Too many Dark/Fire Types running around who poop all over it Celebi is always a better option over Eggy. I generally don't advocate the use of Ninjask leads, but Sub/X-Scissor/Protect/Baton Pass usually works better. Gliscor is also better as it can use Taunt, Rock Polish, Swords Dance, and then Baton Pass without getting PHazed out.

Give Infernape Hidden Power [Ice] for the last move, really good coverage.

Cress is pretty terribad as well since ScarfTar/CBTar poop on it. Skarmory or SupportTran are better options. Skarmory stops dragon types who can honestly rip through your team entirely since you have no steels.

Hope I helped and good luck. =]

ya, thos are all good points, however i really like exeggutor and he has sunny day to help cresselia, and with chlorophyll his speed is doubled, and solar beam takes only one turn, and i figure that would reallllllyyyyy help against bulky waters that would probly pwn my team. also, with sunny day in place i think cresselia would be just fine taking on the dragons, bulky, heal move, toxic, and ice beam to do as much damage as it can.

However, i think your right about ninjask for sure, but im sort of debating whether or not, because substitute woud be awesome to pass, however protect garantees extra speed because of its priority. do you think he is even necessary? or should i just switch him out for skarmory, then i'd have him to also wall the pesky dragons
