I'm going to go with this Scizor for the battle tower -
Scizor@leftovers/life orb (?)
Adamant/Impish (?)
Technician
EV's: 32 HP, 252 Attack, 224 Defense
X-Scissor
Bullet Punch
Substitute
Swords Dance
Basically, I'm going to begin the battle with a choice-trick/thunderwave strategy to really disable my opponent. Then I switch into this guy. I'll hide behind the subsitute and swords dance for a few turns, which IMO is manageable thanks to the defenses I'm putting into this. I'm still wondering if I should do an impish or adamant nature. After I've swords danced, I'll use Bullet Punch, which I know will do very decent damage thanks to STAB, technician, and the aforementioned swords dance. And since Bullet punch is pretty much a steel type quick attack, I won't have to worry much about speed.
Should I have leftovers or life orb? I'm thinking that leftovers is better if I'm going to be hiding behind substitute, and that life orb wouldn't be a very good option due to the fact that I'd lose more HP every turn.

Leftovers, and use Brick Break over X-Scissor for Heatran. Roost is also an option.

Okay, thanks for the help. But should I go with Impish or Adamant?

You see my current team and place in my signature. I just need help: I don't know if I need Tauros or Heracross. I haven't defeated the Kimono-girls yet, so I can't train right of New Bark town. The movesets&levels:
Tauros Level 34 @Silk Scarf.
- Strength
- Payback
- Zen Headbutt
- Horn Attack
Or
Heracross -Newly caught- Level 26
- Fury Attack
- Brick Break
- Counter
- Aerial Ace
Please comment. I know Heracross has higher stats, and a way higher attack stat. Though, Heracross has 2 weaknesses, and 1 uber-weakness, but also has 5 resistances. Anyone?

For this Salamence:
Salamence@Focus Sash
Intimidate
EV's: 255 Attack, 255 Speed
Jolly Nature
-Dragon Dance
-Fire Fang
-Outrage
-Earthquake/Fly (?)
Should I go with Earthquake or fly? I know Fly gets STAB, but Earthquake has better coverage, if I'm not mistaken. I know this is kind of a stupid question, but I've always liked using Fly. Besides, it can avoid attacks for a turn, and that could turn out to be useful.

Earthquake, always and forever. By the way, EVs only boost stats up to 252 EVs, so put the last 4 EVs you're currently wasting into HP. Flamethrower or Fire Blast are good options over Fire Fang.

^i second EQ the only practical reason to use Fly to avoid damage for a turn is if you inflict a status like Toxic, have Leftovers or you opponent is useing a 2 turn move such as Solarbeam. All of which dnt apply to Salamence
