    Introduction
    Hello Pokecommunity. This is a Hyper Offense team that relies on resistances between the team and switching. As such, none of the team is weak to Stealth Rock, and only 2 of the team gets hit by Toxic Spikes.
    It works extremely well, but I think it could use some help.​

    The Team

    The Lead: Gliscor

    @ Leftovers
    Jolly Nature
    252 Hp, 40 Def, 218 Speed
    Earthquake
    U-Turn
    Taunt
    Stealth Rock​

    Gliscor is my Dual-Purpose Lead. He sets up Stealth Rock using his above-average speed and bulk, then can either fire of Earthquakes in the other Lead's face, or U-Turn to a suitable counter. Taunt helps me fend of bulkier Leads like Hippowdon, and stops the opponents Stealth Rock, which a team like mine hates since I switch alot.​

    @ Life Orb
    Naive Nature
    64 Atk, 252 Sp. Atk, 194 Speed
    Fire Blast
    Close Combat
    Grass Knot
    Hidden Power [Ice]

    Infernape is my main Wall-Breaker. These moves attain perfect coverage, hitting EVERYTHING in the game for at least neutral. The EVs put him at 330 Speed, letting him outspeed anything he needs to KO, including Salamence that hasn't set-up yet by 2 points.​

    @ Life Orb
    Timid Nature
    252 Speed, 252 Sp.Atk, 6 Hp
    Ice Beam
    Thunderbolt
    Hydro Pump
    Recover​

    Starmie serves as my Special Attacker, and main Gyara check. The 3 offensive moves give amazing coverage, while Recover helps ease the LO recoil. Hydro Pump was used over Surf for more immediate power.​

    @ Choice Band
    Adamant Nature
    248 Hp, 248 Atk,14 Speed
    U-Turn
    Bullet Punch
    Superpower
    Pursuit​

    Scizor serves as my Revenge Killer. The moves are self explanitory. I chose to run more than 8 Speed to outrun other CB Scizor and KO them with Superpower before they KO me with the same move.​

    @ Choice Scarf
    Modest Nature
    252 Speed, 252 Sp.Atk, 6 Hp
    Thunderbolt
    Surf
    Draco Meteor
    Trick​

    Latias brings some Speed to the team, and having a powerful Dragon type is always good. The offensive moves give perfect coverage, except Shedinja. Trick can cripple things like Blissey that think they can wall me.​

    @ Leftovers
    Adamant Nature
    112 Hp, 252 Atk, 146 Speed
    Agility
    Meteor Mash
    Earthquake
    Thunder Punch​

    Metagros is the Boosting Sweeper this team was originally based on. Agility boosts his sub-par Speed to tremendous level, and the 3 moves once again give great coverage. Leftovers give him more longetivity, and his numerous resistances help with this.​

    So thats the team. Helpful rates only please. Idiotic rates saying things like: 'LOL GREAT TEAM LOLZORZ' that offer no criticism at all will be reported.​
     
    Scarf Latias is horrible pursuit bait for Scizor and Tyranitar, leaving your team open for an easy Gyarados sweep. Jirachi isn't pursuit weak and can run a trick scarf set while checking all the same threats, so I'd think about adding him instead.

    Other than that I can't really spot much else.
     
    The only problem with Jirachi is that it has to run a physical Scarf set. I chose Latias in the first place for it's amazing speed and special attack. If you could provide me with a decent SPECIAL Jirachi Scarf set, I would consider testing it.
