XY OU Mega Scizor Team

[Conmon]

I'm still fairly new to competitive battling so I'm sure you guys could give me some pointers. Here's my team built around Mega Scizor. I'm very simple minded when it comes to team building, I choose stuff that seems to work together and then I wing it. This is why I could use some protips!

Tweezers (Scizor) (M) @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- Swords Dance
- Roost

Late/mid game sweeper. Using knockoff over bugbite because I seem to have better success with knock off, it's a good move overall.

Loudmouth (Heatran) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD
Modest Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Lava Plume
- Earth Power
- Toxic

Special wall and great with Scizor. Immune to fire and also deals with any Magnazones that wants to switch in on Scizor.

Easter (Azumarill) @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Superpower
- Waterfall

Jet another great pal with Scizor. I really like running choice band on Azumarill because it secures a lot of kills earily on in the game without need for set up. Takes hits fairly well too.

Spazzy (Porygon-Z) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 8 HP / 252 SpA / 248 Spe
Modest Nature
- Tri Attack
- Discharge
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam

Now we're getting to the mons I just want to use. People like to switch in ferrothorns on this guy but let me tell you, that Tri Attack will 2hit ko, no questions asked. I use Dark pulse for ghosts, discharge and Icebeam for coverage. I just wish this guy was faster but he has proven to clean up very often. Love this mon so much.

Red (Conkeldurr) @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Poison Jab
- Ice Punch

These two I'm the most unsure of, I basically use them because I wanted to. I really have no reasoning as to why these are here I just can't think of any other to add.

Bully (Weavile) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Shard
- Ice Punch
- Pursuit
- Poison Jab

For Lando.. Just wanted something quick that has stab ice moves to take care of that annoyance.


Thoughts? I'm here to learn so fire away!

Removed Conceldurr and added Scarfchomp for more speed.

Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Poison Jab
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

The first thing I noticed is that you have a huge fire weakness. In the metagame right now Talonflame is a threat. Personally also I think charizard X and Y are bigger threats then talonflame and they can shred this team to pieces. Don't believe me here you go
Charizard X

Hide

252+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Flare Blitz vs. 248 HP / 248 Def Mega Scizor: 720-852 (209.9 - 248.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Charizard X without a dragon dance can OHKO your mega scizor set that you currently run

252+ Atk Mega Charizard X Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 456-540 (118.1 - 139.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Without a dragon dance charizard X will outspeed your heatran and it OHKO's heatran with earthquake.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Adaptability Porygon-Z Tri Attack vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mega Charizard X: 340-400 (114.4 - 134.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
So with a choice specs porygon Z can OHKO Charizard X. One problem though Charizard X without a dragon dance can still outspeed porygon Z which is problematic.
252+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Flare Blitz vs. 8 HP / 4 Def Porygon-Z: 382-451 (122 - 144%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Charizard X can OHKO porygon Z and it can outspeed porygon Z

252 Atk Garchomp Outrage vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard X: 356-422 (119.8 - 142%) -- guaranteed OHKO
So garchomp outspeeds Charizard X even if Charizard gets a dragon dance because you have a choice scarf. Garchomp can also OHKO with an outrage. So garchomp can flat out stop Charizard X so that means you have an answer to Charizard X however, you still have problems with Charizard X. Weavile will also get eliminated off the field right away. However azumarill can also check Charizard X. So you have two pokemon that can deal with Charizard X however the rest of your team gets wrecked by charizard X. Pretty lame trade off you ask me.

Charizard Y

Hide

252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 176 SpD Mega Scizor in Sun: 1056-1248 (307.8 - 363.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
dead no questions mega scizor can not deal with Charizard Y.

252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Heatran: 232-274 (60.1 - 70.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Charizard Y can easily stop heatran in it's tracks as well. Heatran can't touch charizard Y except with toxic basically so Heatran is major screwed.

252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Solar Beam vs. 88 HP / 0 SpD Azumarill: 366-432 (100.8 - 119%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Solarbeam OHKO's the Azumarill set that you use. True Azumarill with choice band can OHKO Charizard Y but Charizard Y will outspeed Azumarill.

252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Porygon-Z in Sun: 399-469 (128.2 - 150.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Charizard Y can easily destroy porygon Z if it can land the fire blast. Charizard Y can also outspeed porygon Z. However if the fire blast misses the good news is that well you can OHKO with tri attack.

Garchomp can stop Charizard Y if it can land the stone edge however Charizard Y can stop weavile. So Charizard Y wrecks 5 pokemon and you have one pokemon that can deal with Charizard Y. Another bad trade off once again.

So you have two random threats that I named off that can eat most of your team alive. Let's talk about counters and pokemon that can deal with these pokemon.

252 SpA Life Orb Latios Psyshock vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard Y: 208-246 (70 - 82.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Latios Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mega Charizard X: 634-749 (213.4 - 252.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Latios can handle both pokemon pretty well assuming that...

A) Charizard X does not have a dragon dance set up then you should outspeed

B) Charizard y does not have any speed boosts as well then Latios should be able to outspeed''

252+ Atk Choice Band Dragonite Outrage vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard X: 602-710 (202.6 - 239%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Dragon Claw vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 198-234 (61.3 - 72.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Dragonite also can deal with Charizard X with no problems at all. Assuming that Dragonite is at full health and that Charizard X does not have any dragon dances set up.

252+ Atk Choice Band Dragonite Outrage vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard Y: 403-475 (135.6 - 159.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Dragonite can also handle Charizard Y with less problems.

So the changes I think that you can make....

I think first off you should swap lava plume out on heatran for magma storm. Some people may disagree with me but personally I think magma storm is a great move. If you play magma storm right you can trap a pokemon as well and get possibly a free setup and probably a free kill. I also think you can swap weavile in for dragonite or latios. I also think that you should swap porygon Z out for staraptor.

252 Atk Choice Band Reckless Staraptor Brave Bird vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Palkia: 333-393 (103.4 - 122%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Yeah that's right Starptor with choice band OHKO's Palkia. Not only that Starptor is a better pokemon than Porygon Z.

Also try this set for azumarill

Adamant
Sitrus Berry
252 attack 252 health 6 in whatever defense

belly drum
aqua jet
knock off
play rough

This set can basically OHKO a lot of stuff if you set up your belly drum. When you set up a belly drum the sitrus berry will give you back that awesome health you need.


Final Verdict:

Your team from what I see is a flat out offensive team. The pokemon you use are about average but you have to many weaknesses to major threats in the metagame. With the changes I pointed out your team should be a major threat to consider. Hope my advice helps you.
