    Jirachi@ Choice Scarf
    Ablility:Serence Grace
    EVs:80HP/252Atk/176 Spd
    Jolly nature(+Spe,-SAtk)

    -Trick
    This is for bulky, slow leads such as Bronzong, Metagross, and Swampert
    -Stealth Rock
    Almost every lead needs this...
    -U-turn
    To escape Magnezone after I tricked my scarf
    -Iron head
    Alright, the reason I use jirachi is this. Would u like a lead that can faint the other lead with out the other lead doing any thing 60% of the time?

    Serene Grace is the best ability IMO. This will take care of almost all leads, though this lead is luck based. The best lead I have ever used.



    Salamence @ Life Orb
    Ability: Intimidate
    EVs: 252Atk/252Spd/4Def
    Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    -Outrage
    Best physical dragon type move ever, but I get revenge killed a lot when I'm stuck on it
    -Earthquake
    For those steels that resist Outrage
    -Dragon Dance
    The main part of this set, I can get a free Dragon Dance on the switch if Jirachi tricked a scarf on earthquake.
    -Fire Fang
    Skarmory, Scizor and Forretress are just soooo evil...

    This has a nice defensive combo with Metagross and Jirachi. They cover each others weaknesses perfectly. Sometimes I dont get to sweep with Metagross and sweep with him.


    Latias@Choice Scarf
    Nature: Timid (+Spe,-Atk)
    EVs: 4Hp/252 Speed/252 SpA
    -Draco Meteor
    To kill the evil DD Mence
    -Thunderbolt
    To hit bulky waters
    -Surf
    Coverage with dragon only resisted by Empoleon
    -Trick
    To cripple walls
    This was put on the team because my superstition of Dragon Dancers. Can replace. This is the weak link.


    Raikou @ Leftovers
    Timid Nature(+Spe,-Atk)
    Ev's: 68 HP / 116 SpA / 72 SpD / 252 Spe
    -Thunderbolt
    STAB for awesomeness
    -Calm Mind
    Boost My special attack and my special defense until the opponents special attacks are under that magic 25%
    -Substitute
    Blocks status
    -Shadow Ball
    Nice coverage and to hit rotom-a super effectively

    I tested this after my friend suggested it. This is just awesome, coming in right in Rotom's face and subbing as it WoW's and then I just as it tries to break my sub with Shadow Ball, than WHAM! Shadow Ball ko's and sweeps his team:) This is my only poke weak to toxic spikes. But it HATES it.



    Empoleon@Petaya Berry
    Ability:Torrent
    EVs:12HP/12Def/252SAtk/232Spe
    Modest nature(+SAtk,-Atk)
    -Agility
    Speed up and sweep
    -Surf
    After 3 subs, Torrent and Petaya berry will activate.Surf will be boosted by STAB, Petaya Berry, and Torrent
    -Ice Beam
    For the dragons who resist surf. Thinking of replacing it with grass knot
    -Substitute
    Sub down to exactly 25% health to activate petaya berry and torrent

    Special sweeper on my team.Surf is my main attack and look at this equation.
    95 BP*1.5Torrent*1.5berry*1.5Stab=315.625 if i did my math right.


    Metagross@Leftovers
    Ability: Clear Body
    EVs:112HP/252Atk/12Def/132Spe
    Adamant nature(+Atk,-SAtk)
    -Meteor Mash
    STAB move that has a chance to raise Atk
    -Earthquake
    To Do damage to the fire types and the steel types.
    -Ice Punch
    Hurts Celebi and Dragons a lot
    -Agility
    Speed up and sweep

    Your basic Agliligross. I sweep late-game when I know the other team. Hopefully I know if they have any counters.

    That's my team. Please Rate my team and give me suggestions for changes. My lead is Jirachi and will stay jirachi FOREVER.

    Use Adamant and 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe (4 Def instead of 4 HP so that Salamence does not fall after four turns of switching into Stealth Rock), with Fire Fang over Fire Blast. Fire Fang offers more power after a DD majority of the time.
    Latias@Choice Scarf
    Nature: Timid (+Spe,-Atk)
    EVs: 82Hp/176 Speed/252 SpA
    -Draco Meteor

    -Surf

    -Trick
    To cripple walls
    Go 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe for speed reasons. Scarf Latias usually seems to me to be Pursuit bait. e.g. I am about to revenge kill a Salamence, they probably would know that I am Scarfed, so they switch to Scizor to take the Draco Meteor, then I am trapped. :( And, the opponent still has a healthy Salamence to set-up again, with my Salamence counter gone.

    Turn the Speed EVs to 232, so it stays at the 508 max.

    You have too much set-up sweepers, you need to have at least a few immediate threat sweepers, like Choice Banders/Specs. I would suggest switching out Empoleon or Metagross, since you only need one of two to late-game sweep. Quick rate, but might come back later for a full rate.

    Replace U-Turn with Body Slam on your Jirachi, unless you have a serious problem with Magnezone. The 60% parahax is too good to pass up. If you then proceed to hit with Iron Head, the chances of them actually getting a hit in are even more reduced.

    Sorry for such a lack of a rate, just thought I'd point something out. I'm not in the mood for an entire rate.

    Also, 4 of your pokes are weak to ground type moves. :/ Just something you might want to help out.
     
    @Wolflare i changed all my typos and I feel like replacing lati with a Specs pokemon, can some one give me advice?

    @Aeroforce U-turn is not just for Zone. it is for scouting such as when there is a CBzor on Bullet punch. I am aware 4 of my pokes have a weakness to ground. Thats y i need a replace ment for empoleon.O wait, i didn't say that yet?

    You can replace Latias with another Scarf user to act as a revenge killer, as you would lack one without it. Scarf Flygon would be good, adding another immunity to Ground.

    Flygon @ Choice Scarf
    Ability: Levitate
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
    - Dragon Claw / Outrage
    - Earthquake
    - ThunderPunch / Stone Edge
    - U-turn

    You can also replace Empoleon with a Specs user instead, since you are wanting to.
