So for no further a do, here is the team,

SwiSs (Roserade) (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 24 HP/232 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Sleep Powder
- Toxic Spikes
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power [Ground]

Such a great lead, Roserade puts me in an advantageous position at the start of almost every match. I put something to sleep first, and then I'm free to lay down Toxic Spikes. I'm using Leaf Storm over Grass Knot because Rosie usually doesn't stay in for more than a few turns and when she does she is setting up anyway. Hidden Power Ground is nice and it comes in handy more than I think HP Fire or Ice would. I've always wanted to try Roserade out and she has been overwhelmingly successful.

KaNinE (Gyarados) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 232 Speed / 24 HP
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
- Taunt
---
Offensive Gyarados helps stop SD Lucario and SD Garchomp from getting out of hand, and I don't mind the drop in power when I have Toxic damage weakening the opponent every turn. Taunt comes in handy as well, stopping the opponent's attempts at recovering, setting up secondary damage of their own, or trying to stat up. All and all G-Dos is a great asset to my team and its also one of my favorite pokes to use

CrusH (Metagross) @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/236 Atk/12 Def/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Ice Punch
---
Metagross works pretty well in tandem with Gyarados, resisting Rock while Gyarados happily switches in on any Earthquake. Metagross Pursuits those pesky Starmie who would otherwise try to Thunderbolt Gyarados or Rapid Spin away all of my hard work, and Pursuits Gengar who is generally annoying. Meteor Mash hits hard enough without Choice Band (Magnezone is a punk anyway) and if I'm lucky I'll snag a few Attack boosts anyway. Also deals with the newly OU Deoxys-S. Booms when it just feels right.

HeaDachE (Umbreon) @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP/236 Atk/12 Def/8 Spd
Sassy nature (+SD -SPEED)
- Mean Look
- Wish
- Baton Pass
- Payback
---
Umbreon works pretty well with this team, he plays the role as my special wall. I usually use him the most cheapest way as possibly but it works like wonders. When some one switches in I ML them , do a wish and baton pass to someone that is more suitable for that particular battle. All and all Umbreon is a great asset to my team and its also one of my favorite pokes to use

The biggest flaw to my team, Is that I have a hole in my last 2 spots. Im still doing a lot of research about who should best fit this team so far. What has had come in mind was maybe a SpecsMence since I don’t have anytype of fire based thread on my team to cover my steel and grass weakness. But for my last slot was thinking of using a pokemon that could use stealth rock and has some good defensive power to take a lot of hits.
But Anyways that’s my Team so far so what do you guys think, and feel free to say anything about it as long as it is constructive information that could help my team get even better.
rate and help anyone? ~ ___________o
