Hi. These are a few teams I made that I need help improving. I have 1 OU team now and 1 UU team and 1 Trick room team on the way. Thanks in advance!

OU Team

Azelf @ Focus Sash
Nature: Naive
Ability: Levitate
EVs:Atk 6, SAtk 252, Spd 252
Role: Lead
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Taunt
- Explosion

Comment: I chose Fire Blast over Flamethrower because in my experience, Azelf dies before it gets to attack so might as well go with power.

Lucario @ Choice Specs/Expert Belt
Nature: Modest
Ability: Inner Focus or Steadfast
EVs:HP 6, SAtk 252, Spd 252
Role: SAtk Sweeper
- HP Ice 70
- Aura Sphere
- Shadow Ball
- Vacuum Wave

Comment: I like Lucario a lot and I like his SAtk stat more so I only use SAtk Lucarios. Expert Belt might allow me to not be crippled by Choice.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Torrent
EVs:HP 252, Atk 6, Def 252
Role: Mixed

Comment- I wanted to use the more offensive Mixed set since Azelf is already using Stealth Rock.

Nature: Timid
Ability: Levitate
EVs:HP 6, SAtk 252, Spd 252

Comment- Trick, Leaf Storm, Levitate, Typing, and STAB Thunberbolt/Shadow Ball help weak points in the team so far.

You're very weak to offense. Salamence, Dragon Dance Gyarados, and Sword Dance Lucario wreck your team. Other things like Heatran, Latias and Infernape are also a big problem for you. I recommend that you add a Choice Scarf Metagross somewhere, maybe over Lucario. It can surprise KO things like Lucario and Infernape who wouldn't expect you to be faster. It also is bulky and a very strong hitter. Another thing that you can do is give Swampert Surf or Hydro Pump just to deal a lot more damage to things like Skarmory and Forretress who may not be a threat to your team but can be very annoying. Anyways, I suggest maybe adding some more bulk and things to stop offensive threats. I hope the little advice I gave is helpful though >_<

If a threat isn't common, it's not worth factoring into the making of a team. UU Pokemon are UU because they aren't common. I'd also be surprised if a team was weak to an UU that wasn't similarly weak to it's OU counterpart.

And Marowak can not learn Agility.
