Once Keledo goes down, Gastrodon can give this team a bit of trouble.

Yes i know but like i said a good player like myself would not let keldoe die without taking out gastrodon also choice band terra can do a lot of damage to it since gastrodon does not have high def and has high sp def and hp plus i could use trick on jirachi to stop gastrodon from using recover.

cb band terrakion OHKO's gastrodon with close combat..

so anyways, dugtrio + hurricane offense seems to give this team a lot of trouble since tyranitar gets owned by duggy and rachi is 3HKO from torny t spec hurricane which can easily become 2HKO since you lack a spinner. You can fix this by using sp def rachi instead of scarf (and you DO have scarf mence as a revenge killer) or you can give tyranitar shed shell instead of always sashing him. lol.

rachi @ lefties
serene grace
252 hp | 32 def | 224 sp def (something like that)
-iron head
-thudner wave/body slam
-wish
-protect

If i am lucky i can flinch dugtrio too but that depends on luck but i do get what you mean but never see many ppl do it.

also if they switch to dug when i am using iron head dug would die cause i outspeed it

Tried scoutland but i like terra a lot better because of it's power but i have to admit scoutland is good because of the sand too but once that goes it's not that good :/
 
Run Hasty + 252 Speed / 64 Special Attack / 192 Attack on Tyranitar. This will allow you to outrun and OHKO both Scizor and Breloom. 192 Attack EVs guarantees a OHKO on Latios and 2HKO on all Latias. Running Adamant on Focus Sash Tyranitar is pointless. You have Focus Sash for a reason, who cares about Defenses. Though you may want to consider running a more bulky Tyranitar. Choice Specs Latios 1-2HKOs every single Pokemon on your team with just Draco Meteor. Jirachi can switch in but only once, and takes 49% minimum from a meteor.

HP Ghost > HP Grass on Keldeo. Gastrodon is literally the only thing that you beat easier in OU. Politoed and Rotom W takes about as much damage from Secret Sword. HP Ghost at least hits Jellicent, Lati@s, and Celebi. Look into Timid on Keldo too. You outrun Thundurus, Mienshao, Landorus, all base 100s, and the odd Jolly Gliscor.

Otherwise the team looks solid. I'll try to give a full rate later!

jirachi beats genesect leads though. gliscor seems good as a lead if your opponent's team doesn't provide any immediate threats.

I never send jirachi against a genesect lead because flamthower will hurt jirachi a lot and i may need jirachi for later the best way to deal with genesect if use terrakion, it can't be koed but close combat can ko genesect :) gilscor only good for a lead when they start with ttar,ferro or any other slow set up pokemon.
