Smash Journeyman
Alright so this is the same team I posted in this RMT from Smogon. There's one massive change and that's a swap of one Pokemon.
This team was built around to get in a sweep from Pokemon that get Scizor-*****. With speed that outpaces Starmie and ScarfTar without the need of a Scarf, and two awesome STABs that can dent many other sweepers while one of them is a priority move, coverage in Low Kick, and the opportunity to double the power of these moves with Swords Dance, only Priority users or Scarfed Pokemon that resist Ice Shard can stop Weavile.
Team Prepare[d] for Trouble
Hatred
Heatran@Shuca Berry
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid
Flash Fire
Fire Blast
Hidden Power Grass
Earth Power
Stealth Rock
Heatran is my lead of choice as it is fairly bulky, has an AMAZING typing, and can come in late game as an auxiliary sweeper. Since I want Heatran to stick around, I'm forgoing Explosion for HP Grass, as it hits Swampert even harder than Explosion would. Earth Power is a great coverage move to hit other Heatran, who may be Choiced. Fire Blast coupled with a potential Flash Fire boost can rip up a new one for even things that resist it. Its Steel-typing makes it a good Dragon-resist.
Against:
Aerodactyl- Switch to Hitmontop, Spin to remove Rocks and break Focus Sash, and hurt it with Stone Edge.
Azelf- Fire Blast away.
Infernape- Switch to Latias to set up Screens.
Swampert- Stealth Rock, then Hidden Power Grass.
Jirachi- Fire Blast away.
Metagross- Fire Blast away
Roserade- Afffff this sucks. I'll just switch to Hitmontop to take the sleep, and come back to Heatran and Fire Blast.
Heatran- This sucks. I should Earth Power first, then Stealth Rock, and then revenge kill it with Weavile.

Magnet Pull
Substitute
Magnet Rise
Thunderbolt
Flash Cannon
The EVs ensure that a substitute won't be broken by two Choice Band Scizor Bullet Punches. It also outspeeds the standard 8 Speed EV Scizor and Metagross. There really aren't any Hidden Powers that will be much more useful than a STAB Thunderbolt. Hidden Power Ice and Fire may OHKO Dragons and Scizor respectively, but Thunderbolt 2HKOs them by itself, and Magnezone will usually be behind a Sub. Flash Cannon is chosen to hit the likes of Tyranitar, Latias, as well as giving a chance to lower the Special Defense of Blissey and Snorlax. If Magnezone has used Magnet Rise, many Pokemon will have to resort to Fire and Fighting type attacks. Heatran can take a Fire Blast from other Heatran, scare it away with Earth Power, and then attempt to take on the other team with Fire Blast. Rotom-H can get in on a Fighting type attack. If the opposing attacker is Infernape, I switch to Latias.
Magnezone can also help kill the Steels that lack Shed Shell, since they try to wall Weavile.

Weavile@Life orb
32 HP / 252 Atk / 40 SpD / 184 Spe
Jolly
Pressure
Swords Dance
Night Slash
Ice Shard
Low Kick
This is just a fantastic sweeper. 184 Speed EVs are used to outspeed ScarfTar/DDTar. Max Speed would not be really necessary as opposing Weavile are uncommon, Dugtrio is OHKOd by Ice Shard, and Alakazam wouldn't stay in on a Weavile ever. 32 HP EVs let me use one more round of Life Orb Recoil. Attack is maxed out, and the rest are poured onto Special Defense. After a Swords Dance, Scizor can be OHKOd by Low Kick after Stealth Rock, so Scizor will have to use Bullet Punch. If Scizor Bullet Punches, Magnezone will then take care of Scizor.
With Weavile's speed, it is capable of revenge-killing almost every nonscarf Pokemon in the Metagame. Latias, Starmie, Gengar, and Rotom-A are taken out by Night Slash. Weavile can also revenge kill Salamence, Dragonite, and Tyranitar after they have Dragon Danced with Ice Shard and Low Kick respectively.

Timid
Levitate
Substitute
Overheat
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
The EVs ensure that Rotom-H outspeed Adament Lucario.
Rotom-H hits many Pokemon harder than they could hit back. I really need a Spin Blocker since this is a team that ASBOLUTELY NEEDS the Stealth Rock support. Rotom-H's STABS and exclusive move hurts many popular Rapid Spinners. Thunderbolt badly hurts Starmie and Tentacruel. Overheat squashes Forretress, and could be used against Scizor. Overheat is especially useful since it kills unsuspecting Swords Dance Scizor. Shadow Ball is just another good STAB that 2HKO and OHKO Latias and Gengar respectively. The Ghost/Electric typing with Levitate promises that Agiligross doesn't stampede all over this team. Substitute is (IMO) the best move in the game. I use it to scout switches and attacks and ease prediction.

Reflect

Safeguard
Wish
The team makes a huge improvement now that I have Latias over Gardevoir. Latias is much bulkier, has awesome resists, and can actually outspeed ****.
Whenever I get Latias in the game, I always set up Reflect first. This makes ScarfTar and Scizor much less threatening. With Safeguard and Light Screen, Blissey can't do squat to this Latias, so Blissey ends up becoming set-up fodder. Safeguard also blocks status which is just handy dandy. Weavile's frailty loves screen support. Wish is unquestionably useful, as I switch around often, and many of the team members depend on each other to stay alive.
Latias is awesome since it has perfect synergy with the Steels in the team.

Hitmontop@Leftovers
252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Spe
Impish
Intimidate
Foresight
Rapid Spin
Close Combat
Stone Edge
With these EVs, Hitmontop makes a good counter to Gyarados. With Reflect, Intimidate, and extreme Defense EVs, Hitmontop will hit Gyarados harder than Gyarados could hope to hit back.
I choose Hitmontop as it is (IMO) the best Tyranitar counter ever, and I really need to guarantee a Rapid Spin. Foresight lets me hit Ghosts, and then Weavile does not worry much about Stealth Rock.
Hitmontop is also one of my checks against Blissey and Snorlax, who give Heatran, Magnezone, and Rotom-H trouble.
