    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.

    Salamence @ Life Orb
    Ability: Intimidate
    EVs: 232Atk/252Spd/24 SAtk
    Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef)
    -Outrage

    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
    To kill the evil DD Mence
    -Thunderbolt

    -Surf
    Coverage with dragon only resisted by Empoleon
    -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.
