Azelf @ Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Stealth Rock
- Fire Blast
- Psychic
- Explosion
Weaknesses: Bug, Ghost, Dark
Resists: Fighting, Psychic
Immune: Ground
Azelf is a quick standard lead. Focus Sash ensures that it will get Stealth Rock out. Fire Blast can be used for Scizor, Jirachi, or Metagross. Psychic increases type coverage. However, I will usually use Explosion to heavily damage or even possibly kill the enemy lead.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Thunder Wave
- Grass Knot
- Recover
Weaknesses: Flying, Poison, Bug (4x!), Ghost, Fire, Ice, Dark
Resists: Fighting, Ground, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic
Celebi is both a wall and a nuisance. Thunder wave is a powerful move that allows my sweepers to set up easily, leech seed is annoying to the enemy and may force them to switch out, ensuring my stealth rock hits more often. Recover is to allow Celebi to last longer, and grass knot is a strong STAB move that's useful against Tyranitar and Gyarados.

King Dedede (Empoleon) (M) @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 12 HP/12 Def/232 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Substitute
- Surf
- Ice Beam
Weaknesses: Fighting, Ground, Electric
Resists: Normal, Flying, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Water, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Dark (Niiiiice)
Immune: Poison
My favorite sweeper. Switch in on something it resists, use agility, and then sub my way to a special attack + torrent boost. Surf is a powerful STAB that can one-hit many opponents, and Ice Beam provides coverage against dragons and flying types.

Machamp (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dynamicpunch
- Payback
- Stone Edge
- Ice Punch
Weaknesses: Flying, Psychic
Resists: Rock, Bug, Dark
No Guard Machamp. A good partner for Celebi in annoying the enemy. Dynamic Punch confuses 100% of the time, and no one likes using a confused Pokemon. Stone Edge is very powerful, especially since it has no chance to miss now. Ice Punch and Payback provide additional coverage. I decided not to use the Restalk set, since I find I always have a hard time getting it to work.

Rotom-h @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Shadow Ball
Weaknesses: Ghost, Dark
Resists: Flying, Poison, Bug, Steel, Electric
Immune: Normal, Fighting, Ground
Rotom-H covers some weaknesses in my team. It's immune to ground and fighting, and can take down electric Pokemon with HP Ground, therefore completely covering Empoleon's only weaknesses. Shadow Ball is a strong STAB, Thunderbolt is useful against Gyarados, and Overheat helps against steel types.

Weavile (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/216 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Pursuit
- Ice Shard
- Ice Punch
- Low Kick
Weaknesses: Fighting (4x!), Rock, Bug, Steel, Fire
Resists: Ghost, Ice, Dark
Immune: Psychic
My revenge killer. Pursuit is a OHKO against Gengar or Alakazham, even if they don't switch out. Ice Shard is a strong STAB priority move, useful against dragon types that may want to set up (Latias). Ice Punch is used against grass types, and low kick is a very powerful move against Pokemon such as Tyranitar.
Threats:
[sprite]485[/sprite]
Heatran with substitute and HP electric poses a threat, as it can counter my Empoleon and take on Rotom.
