Please Rate my new OU team

Lead Roserade, Focus Sash
Timid Nature.
252 spe, 252 spa, 4 hp

-Toxic Spikes
-Sleep Powder
-Leaf Storm
-HP Ground

Basically a good way to start of the game. Focus sash is to ensure I get off toxic spikes. Sleep powder is there to ensure I get off a move or two toxic spikes (if it does not miss). HP Ground is used in place of HP fire for heatrans and infernapes who mistakes me for HP fire, and Leaf Storm for stab.

Scarf Heatran
Naive nature.
252 spe, 252 spa, 4 attk

-Fire Blast
-Earth Power
-Dragon Pulse
-Explosion

Standard scarf tran Fire blast for stab along with earth power for great coverage. Dragon Pulse for full coverage, and explosion if there for bulky waters and blisseys when heatran has done its job of sweeping the team

Choice Band Scizor
Adament Nature
252 hp, 252 attk, 4 spe

-U turn
-Pursuit
-Bullet Punch
-Super Power

Again the standard set choice band Scizor. Its main job is to scout out the opponents team using its excellent type coverage being its only weakness fire. U turn is to see the opponents team and stab. Bullet punch is for priority, Super power for coverage against steel types, and pursuit since scizor is so good at making pokemon switch

Machamp, Leftovers
Adament Nature
252 hp, 252 attk, 4 spe

-Dynamic Punch
-Stone Edge
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Machamp is a good pokemon to have on my team because of toxic spikes support plus confusion gives alot of troubles to the opponent. Dynamic Punch for stab, Stone edge for coverage against ghost and flying types. The other two moves have an important role, rest cures me of status and provides me hp, while sleep talk makes it so dynamic punch low pp does not run out because even if my pp is 0, sleep talk can still pick the move to attack.

Swampert, Leftovers
Sassy Nature
240 hp, 52 spa, 216 spd


-Stealth Rocks
-Ice beam
-Surf
-Earthquake

This is not your standard relaxed pert. It plays a important role on my team as being a special tank and setting up Stealth Rocks. The reason I chose Sassy nature over relaxed is for a couple of things. One is that Standard Mix apes grass knot has 100% chance of not to Ohko me. Second this fools Azelfs and Gengars to thinking that grass knot or energy ball has a chance to KO me, but actually after torrent activates I have a nice shot at KOing them. It also suprises mix and specs mence into thinking draco meteor can Ohko after my HP is about 75%

Zapdos, Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 hp, 252 def, 4 spa


-Thunder Bolt
-Heat Wave
-Roar
-Roost

Zapdos plays the role of scaring off bulky Gyarados (if SR is not up) and Scizor. It also plays a role of phasing the opponents team. Its a great physical Tank that scares off alot of physical sweepers and since normally it is not used till later in the game (besides the two I mentioned) it can beat the common best late game sweeping Lucario that lacks stone edge.

So basically this is the OU team I have. Please rate and suggest better options, Thank You.

Excellent team I don't spot any major weaknesses whatsoever

great team, scizor could go sword dance over pursuit/u-turn and have a life orb/leftovers, because a set up sweeper can be important on every team and you said scizor was a scouter but is too slow to make use of u-turn and can only use it on the switch, not after and zapdos can roar to scout the oponents team. But good team, just a lack of pokes who can set up.

great team, not much to change as far as i c it. nive job

Good advice but I use to use life orb swords dance raising scizor and I found out it gets screwed by heatran. instead of setting up on the switch, choice band scizor can use u turn to get a free counter in which i found more useful than setting up to just have to lose that set up by having to switch. But thx for replying regardless and stating your opinion.

Nice work Lilcrazy, I can't really comment on it but good stuff

A very good team. I might think of getting a resorade since it looks like a pretty good lead.

Very good! The only Thing I see here is that Scizor needs a swords dance. I think his was already pointed out though.
And Ice punch > ice beam on swampert.
Even with HP ground, beware of leadApes.
