Lucario @ Life Orb
Inner Focus @ Timid
Hp: 259
Atk: 242
Def: 198
Sp.Atk: 285
Sp.Def: 187
Speed: 233
- Aura Sphere
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Sword Dance

Lucario is my sweeper. With Sword Dance I'll be able to raise my Atk greatly at the begining of the battle. Aura Sphere will likely never miss. Close Combat is like Aura Sphere, but much stronger except it will most likely miss a lot. Extremespeed is my finisher move because at the end of the battle when the opponite pokemon has a little bit Hp left, thats when I'll use it.

Weakness: Fire, Ground, Fighting, Flying
Super Effective Against: Rock, Ice, Steel, Normal
Resistence: Poison

Swampert @ Leftovers
Torrent @ Mild
Hp: 317
Atk: 257
Def: 202
Sp.Atk: 243
Sp.Def: 223
Speed: 176
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Protect

Swampert is my mixed tank. Surf is my power house move. Ice Beam provides with much coverage. Earthquake provides with deffense. Protect is very useful against pokemon who are faster than me.

Weakness: Grass
Super Effective Against: Rock, Ground, Fire, Grass, Bug, Flying, Steel, Poison, Dragon, Electric

Rhyperior @ Life Orb
Lightningrod @ Lax
Hp: 371
Atk: 337
Def: 342
Sp.Atk: 142
Sp.Def: 153
Speed: 122
- Rock Polish
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Rock Wrecker

Rhyperior is my physical attacker. Rock Polish is to boost its speed since it lacks speed. Stealth Rock is a great move on switching pokemon. Earthquake is a great coverage for it. Rock Wrecker is my power house move.

Torterra @ Leftovers
Overgrow @ Mild
Hp: 303
Atk: 269
Def: 242
Sp.Atk: 210
Sp.Def: 222
Speed: 173
- Razor Leaf
- Sunny Day
- SolarBeam
- Earthquake

Torterra is my second mixed tank. Razor Leaf is a great sweeper attack with a high critical hit ratio boosted with the ability Overgrow which is excellent. Sunny Day and SolarBeam is a strong combo against stronger pokemon. Earthquake is a coverage against stronger pokemon.

Weakness: Fire, Ice, Flying, Poison
Super Effective Against: Water, Electric, Rock, Ground, Fire, Poison, Steel

Weakness: Ground, Water, Flying, Psychic
Super Effective Against: Grass, Bug, Steel, Rock, Normal

Super Effective Against: Fighting, Bug, Grass

No legendary pokemon at all.

Changes and commentary in bold

Lucario @ Life Orb
Inner Focus @ Adamant/JollyTimid lowers attack. Instead, go for adamant, or jolly.
Post EV's, not the raw stats
- Ice Punch Aura Sphere uses special attack.
- Close Combat
- Extremespeed
- Sword Dance


Swampert @ Leftovers
Torrent @ Relaxed
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rocks: Protect won't really help, they'll just kill you next turn.

Rhyperior @ Life Orb
Lightningrod @ Jolly or Adamant
- Rock Polish
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
- Rock Blast

Rhyperior here is outclassed heavily by Metagross, who can also perform a speed boosting sweep, but better. Here's a nice set for that:
Meta@Life Orb/Leftovers
112 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def / 132 Spe
Agility
Meteor Mash/Iron Head
EQ
T-punch/Ice Punch/Explosion

I can't salvage Torterra, so I'll replace him.
Try any of these guys:
Salamence Life Orb Rash
Moveset EVs
~ Draco Meteor
~ Fire Blast / Flamethrower
~ Brick Break
~ Roost
80 HP / 252 SpA / 176 Spe

I don't like it too much personally, but some do:
Dragonite Life Orb Rash / Mild
Moveset EVs
~ Superpower
~ Draco Meteor
~ Flamethrower
~ Roost / Thunderbolt
112 Atk / 196 SpA / 200 Spe

Hariyama
Leftovers Thick Fat Careful
Moveset EVs
~ Force Palm / Brick Break / Revenge
~ Earthquake / Stone Edge
~ Whirlwind
~ Payback / Knock Off
80 HP / 172 Atk / 252 SpD / 4 Spe

Blaziken @ Life Orb
Blaze @ mild
- Brave Bird
- Sky Uppercut
- Fire punch?
- Bulk Up

Not bad, I guess.. don't want to sound like a smogonite, but you can replace that with an infernape and do better.
Ape Life Orb Naive
Moveset EVs
~ Nasty Plot
~ Fire Blast / Flamethrower
~ Close Combat / Vacuum Wave
~ Grass Knot / Hidden Power Ice
64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe

One of the scariest pokes ever


Togekiss @ Life Orb
Serene Grace @Calm/Timid
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Aura Sphere
- Thunder Wave

Some things:
You fall to many standard pokes like Sala, Ape, Latias, Scizor, Azelf, Meta, etc.
You don't have a spinner/spiker
You don't have a truly effective lead
You don't have any defensive stuff, and you don't have enough immunities to run hyper offensive
Try it out on shoddy sometime, see how it goes.

Ok thanks a lot lol. I'll see how the teams differ on shoddy.

You'll need a lead, I suggest making your swampert your lead and replacing Protect with stealth rock.

- Give Lucario Ice Punch or Crunch instead of aura sphere, without this many pokemon resist him and aura sphere isn't upgraded by sword dance.

- Infernape is superior to blaziken, but blaziken still alright.

- As Bob said Agigross is better than Rock polish Rhypherior, I would try SubRhy

- Like bob I suggest putting Air Slash on Togekiss, it has the same flinch hack effect without a setup up turn.

- Torterra is UU thus not being that effective on OU

I pretty much said what Bob said, a second opinion is never a bad thing though.

bob has great points but is wrong in saying metagross can pull off a sweep better than rhyperior that isnt true at all solid rock weakens super effecive moves not to mention he has usefull stab moves where metagross stabbed move are resised or neutral damage to most pokes used in OU but do agree with most changes up above

You really should post EV spreads rather than individual stats.

I really think you should take into concideration some of the recommendations that were put forth by the other members, because so far you have a gaping gliscor, tyranitar, scizor and to a lesser extent zapdos weakeness. Any speedy pokemon with both an earthquake + fighting attack (Alot of pokemon) can take down a lot of your team. Similarly, hippowdon is going to mess this team up real bad because most of your team is only attacking physically, and the ones that are using a special attack really shouldn't be (because they won't do that much damage.)

Both Scizor and weavile both brilliant fill the role of 'revenge killer' due to their signature priority moves and high attack stats (not to mention their ability to double their attack in a single turn. So my first recommendation would be to pick either scizor or weavile and get rid of the other. and then bring back your togekiss because she is an awesome special attacker with the ever 'wonderful' serene grace + array of flinch inducing moves.

Togekiss (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP/104 Spd/152 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Thunder Wave
- Nasty Plot
- Roost

There's probably a better way to run this set, though this seems devistating enough. Nasty plot when you come in, Twave the oponant, roost away the damage and then paraflinch them to oblivioon with air slash,


Weavile (M) @ Life Orb/focus sash
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Ice Shard/Ice Punch
- Night Slash/ Pursuit
- Brick Break/ low kick

This would be your basic late game sweeper/ revenge killer. Strategy is simple, switch into a crippled pokemon and depending on the circumstances either kill it with ice shard or set up swords dance on it (allow the sash to be activated) then kill it and sweep with either ice shard (for other priority users) or nightslash and brick break for everything else (note: night slash and brick break provide universal coverage, bar spiritomb [i think that is the only one who resists both] who, however, falls to ice punch)

That's all I'm going to do, everyone else has recommended good sets for everyone else :)
