3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

You need to expand your descriptions; else a mod will lock this.
 
You can try a mixed landorus set with hp ice, earthquake, stone edge, u-turn and the choice scarf. Ice fang can be used over substitute for gliscor. i think you can run air baloon over leftovers for heatran or a focus sash for terrakion. 5 of your pkmns are weak to water, agility empoleon can be a problem, so you can change heal bell on celebi with eart power also to check heatran and fore more coverage. (scusa se non ti ho scritto in italiano ma poi i mod ho paura che rompono)
 
Honestly, it looks like a solid team, but what happens if they KO T-tar and then they let loose a weather changer? Also, there are MANY pkmon that can really be a Mixed Sweeper Physical OR Ranger, that come in and put a hurt on this team alone, as Starmie, Gyarados, Gengar, and most than them, but they are main Mixed Sets usually.
And also heavy on Legends to be honest, i am in an Online Pkmon league and this team wouldn't be allowed to battle due to a rule they placed saying in short "you may only use 1 Legend per battle." But other than that, i really like the team, but one suggestion. Try making Gliscor a Physical Sweeper or a double Set up Gliscor. i've run it in PO and it usually works because of the unexpected surprise, OR run a stall gliscor to give a small edge in defensive tactics.
Double Set Up Gliscor @ Flight Gem/Life Orb
Impish Nature (+Atk, -Sp.Atk)
252 Def/ 252 Speed/ 6 Atk
Trait: Poison Heal
-Swords Dance
-Rock Polish
-Acrobatics/Stone Edge
-Earthquake
Once you set up Either Swords Dance OR Rock polish most people would try to switch out to a defensive pkmon, and allows you a free Rock polish occasionally. If people cannot defeat gliscor within 1 or 2 Atk's. Chances are you are going let loose a mass Carnage in the same battle before somebody unleashes a very defensive ice type that can wipe you out with one shot. That is where Stone Edge can replace Acrobatics, where as with me i never miss stone edge, its like target Practice to my pkmon when using it, i don't know about other people having the same luck, but should you land Stone Edge with the Swords Dance in play, or land another Swords Dance boost then land Stone Edge. You have a pretty good chance of wiping of the ice types UNLESS they run Ice Shard as priority against your Landorus and Gliscor, and if its Mamoswine you're dealing with, they will most likely predict you thinking Ice Shard, switch into Heatran to block it, then they bash you with an Earthquake and ruin you're bak-up plans. So i strongly reccommend Using Air Balloon on Heatran should you be weary of these Situations. You need to ask yourself at some point, "which pkmon can prove a REAL Threat to my team." from there, i believe that is all the advice i can offer so far, Solid team, Solid Offensive capabilities, i like it, so Good Luck and Have Fun with that team :)
 
Gliscor and landorus have the same 4x weakness to ice, celebi is also weak to ice, so I suggest removing gliscor for a revenge killer or priority user such as CB scizor
Lol you are actually very heavy on legends

I think you have a big problem with Rain Team, Bander Terrakium, Sharpedo LO or Scarf Kyurem but this is a good team gg.

Any team has a bad time with Banded terrakion as it 2hko's almost everything except Slowbro used in OU. So that is an invalid point.
 
I think that drizzle teams, particularly versions that happen to be faster, will cause you a lot of problems. At a first glance, you have one singular water resistance, which will end up being a huge problem when going up against offensive drizzle teams. Not only do you have almost no water resistance, but absolutely nothing on this team can take a hit or two from life orb Starmie. Tornadus is in the same boat here as between hurricane and focus blast, nearly everything on this team is ohko'd. I would definitely think about investing in another water resistance on this team. This will be of the utmost importance to you if you want to have any chance of breaking through powerful drizzle sweepers at all. Rotom-W would work perfectly on this team as a secondary water resistance. The scarf variant in particular would be a great choice as you can go up against threats such as life orb Starmie with relative ease. Scarf Rotom-W could easily fit over Landorus. It is easily the weakest link on this team as it pretty much does nothing in the way of checking threats or providing a way to pave a sweep for Terrakion.

You're still pretty weak to dragon dance Haxorus / Dragonite. Haxorus in particular has the ability to smack this team around pretty easily after a single boost. Adding another steel type would be an excellent option. Skarmory is most likely the best candidate for this job over Gliscor as it can easily sponge most of the attacks that Haxorus and other dragon dancers will throw at this team. Just make sure if you decide to use Skarmory that you have a pack a female nature. As for some smaller options, opting Tyranitar to the choice banded set would be a pretty cool idea. Choice banded stone edge allows Tyranitar to lure in and 2HKO big defensive threats such as Skarmory and Gliscor, which can easily pave the way for a Terrakion sweep. Dragon dance Tyranitar really just won't work on this team as it is easily picked off by priority and threats such as opposing Terrakion. Although, make sure that Tyranitar packs an ev spread of 136 HP / 252 Atk / 120 Spe so that you can outrun and 2HKO Jellicent, which is also beneficial for an unboosted Terrakion. gl.
 
Finally! Done exams! Well, as promised, here's the rate.

First of all, your team is currently weak to CM Reuniclus, who could give your team significant problems if allowed to set up. DD Ttar doesn't have enough initial power to bring down Reuniclus, nor does it have the Special Bulk to reliably take a +1 Focus Blast. You have to be at +1 to be able to deal significant enough damage for a team member to finish up, and good luck setting up while eating a Focus Blast. I highly suggest switching it for a CBtar. This thing packs so much more power its not even funny. It would also help weaken walls such as Gliscor and Slowbro who would otherwise impede your physical sweepers. Although Ttar isn't going to be OHKOing them, it can deal significant damage with CB Stone Edge or CB Crunch to either grab a 2HKO or weaken the opposing wall enough for Terrakion or somebody to break through. However, if you intend to use Tyranitar as a sweeper, keep it as a DDtar, but I suggest switching its item to Babiri Berry, and running Fire Punch over Ice Punch. You already have Stone Edge hitting Dragonite already so you don't need Ice Punch. With Babiri Berry, Ttar will surivive Bullet Punch from CB Scizor and KO with Fire Punch. Fire Punch helps Ttar break through steel types such as Jirachi and Ferrothorn, which currently wall your set.

Speaking of Terrakion, I suggest swapping Air Balloon for a Life Orb. Air Balloon was used almost solely for checking Excadrill, and now that Exca is gone, there really is no point. SD Life Orb just packs so much more power its not even funny. Air Balloon Terrakion doesn't even help you against Gliscor. Even at +2, Stone Edge can only 2HKO, and knowing Stone Edge's abysmal accuracy, you should not be relying on this. Gliscor can simply pop your Balloon with Ice Fang and proceed for a KO with Earthquake. However, if you opt for a Life Orb, Terrakion could potentially OHKO Gliscor after SR damage! Thats ridiculous power! The ability to OHKO Pokemon such as Skarmory will certainly help as well. Finally, against sun teams, If Terrakion manages to get up a Rock Polish, it will be able to outspeed every common Chlorophyll sweeper. With Life Orb, Terrakion can hit them so much harder and grab so many more KOs, this is incredibly valuable for weather wars.

Celebi absolutely needs Recover. You're using it as a Cleric, and you should therefore try keeping it alive as long as possible. As well, you are relying on Celebi as your primary Rotom-W switchin. If Rotom-W keeps U-Turning out, Celebi will be forced to switch out over and over again. Since your team lacks Rapid Spin support, entry hazard damage will build up, and since Sandstorm cancels out Leftovers, Celebi will eventually break, allowing Rotom-W to shred your team to dust. You already have Gliscor carrying Acrobatics for Pokemon such as Conkeldurr, so Psychic is pretty redundant. I also have no clue what your EV spread is for, it seems inefficient. If you need it to outspeed specific threats, keep it. If not, I suggest going with a 252 HP / 236 SpA / 20 Spe EV spread. This allows you to outspeed Adamant Offensive Breloom, and the extra bulk and addition of Recover allows it to better take hits from Breloom, which is one of Celebi's most useful roles.

I'm not exactly sure what Landorus brings to the table. You already have two other sweepers in Terrakion and Gliscor. Terrakion is a much more formidable sweeper while Gliscor helps you take on Fighting types more easily. Landorus shares a similar typing and moveset with Gliscor as well. Currently, a number of common Rain threats such as Starmie and Gyarados can walk all over your team, so another Rain check would be helpful. DD Haxorus, if it manages to grab a boost, can prove problematic as well. Besides, you don't want Heatran and Tyranitar taking all the hits, so another Steel type could help. One Pokemon that fulfills all these niches is Ferrothorn. Its great typing allows it to take hits from the likes of Starmie and retaliate with Power Whip. With an EV spread of 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD and an Impish Nature, Ferrothorn can survive a 2HKO from +1 Haxorus Earthquake as Ferrothorn cripples it with Thunder Wave. Speaking of Thunder Wave, your team would greatly appreciate Thunder Wave support. This allows CBtar and Gliscor to outspeed a number of normally fast Pokemon and threaten them with powerful attacks. Ferrothorn can also add Spikes support too, which is always helpful.

In Summary:
CB Ttar>DD Ttar
pros: better against Reuniclus, more instantaneous power, helps open up holes for your sweepers to exploit
cons: no more sweeping potential

or

Babiri+Fire Punch>Leftovers+Ice Punch on Ttar
pros: helps against Bullet Punch, can hit Steels
cons: you lose Leftovers recovery, none really for Fire Punch> Ice Punch

Life Orb>Air Balloon on Terrakion
pros: so much more power, better for going on Rock Polish sweeps
cons: I guess you lose your temporary Spikes immunity, which isn't that useful anyways

Recover>Psychic and new EV spread on Celebi
pros: helps Celebi's survivability due to instant Recovery, more Bulk to take on Rotom-W/ Breloom
cons: I'm not sure what your Speed EVs were for, but if they were for something specific, don't adapt these EVs, Psychic helped against Fighting types, but you already had Gliscor for that as well

Ferrothorn>Landorus
pros: backs up Celebi for checking Rain, backs up Heatran and Tyranitar for checking Dragons, provides Thunder Wave and Spikes support
cons: lose a sweeper in Landorus, but its not like this is a Hyper Offense team, and Landorus wasn't doing much for you anyways.

You don't have anything that can switch into a Latios Draco Meteor except for Heatran who is decimated by surf, and therefore I would switch your Dragon Dance tyranitar for a Specially Defensive Tyranitar.

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
-Stealth Rocks
-Crunch
-Pursuit
-Superpower

Since Tyranitar is setting up rocks I think that you should switch Stealth Rocks on Heatran for substitute as I have found that to be a very potent combination, allowing him to threaten to burn Pokemon that he would otherwise not be able to stay in against, and therefore limiting the opponents options.

You also need to switch Psychic on Celebi for Recover if you want him to be able to last, which is very important for him to be able to do since he is you only water asorber to fight off rain teams. Also in order to help deal with rain teams better I would put Jellicent as he can destroy rain teams by her once Rotom-W is removed by Celebi. Celebi and Jellicent have great synergy besides the fact of being weak to Dark, but Dark moves are just an invitation for Terrakion to set up. I would make this trade for Gliscor.

Jellicent @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
-Scald
-Will-O-Wisp
-Recover
-Taunt

Gliscor is not really benefical to your team stragity as that set almost requires paralysis suppport to work effectively, and I know because I rose to #1 on the ladder using that set. It is an amazing set, but it does nothing for this team because the chance of attacks missing are relatively low because you have not paralysised your opponents. Gliscor is also one of the slower sweepers, meaning that he really does need the paralysis support that your team does not provide. Jellicent also helps to elimanate your Scizor weakness because he can take anything that Scizor can throw at it, which heatran can't, meaning that your team would be otherwise be weak to. It also is a great stall breaker with Taunt, again destroying rain stall.

I also agree with others suggestions to trade Swords Dance Landorus for Choice Scarf Landorus.
 
Let me start by stating that the "waving" thing is really obnoxious...

Second of all, your team is Dewgong-weak. With this I don't mean that it's actually weak to Dewgong, it's just weak against Ice and Water. ANY rain-team takes it appart.

To solve this, I suggest using a Gastrodon over Landorus, because it's not doing anything Terrakion isn't doing. Besides, Gliscor, Landorus AND Terrakion rely on set-up. Gastrodon sets up when it switches in by using Storm Drain.

Because you have a lot of set-up sweepers, I think using a non-set-up sweeper somewhere in there. Scizor is immune to Sandstorm and adds another pokémon that's not weak to water. The Choice Band set seems like a good idea, because you adding a Swords Dance set doesn't solve the problem of the team lacking firepower without a turn of set-up. Not sure what you want to take out, but something needs fast firepower. 4 of your pokemon have set-up sets, 2 are defensive in nature. 1 set-upper has to go.

I agree with using Recover over Psychic on Celebi, because it adds extra life to your cleric, which is always nice.

The offensive TTar is strong, but when it's your only means of getting your weather up, you might want to do something more defensive, to asure a win in a weatherwar.

tl;dr:
Remove a set-upper, 4 is too much, you are VERY weak to Ice and Water, add a resist or immunity (Gastrodon). When in doubt, use Scizor.
 
Infernape=instant GG, everything on this team gets 2 shotted. personally, I'd run Gliscor over Ferro, just me though. The Toxic Stall set should work.
