Metagross should be Adamant or at least Impish, not Calm

Also, IMO Earthquake is better than Hammer Arm for Metagross. Similar coverage, but with more accuracy.

Scizor should always use Technician. Swarm is highly gimmicky, whereas Technician grants extra power to utility moves like Bullet Punch. Try one of these instead:

SD Scizor @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Adamant Nature
Technician
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite
-Brick Break
-Swords Dance

CB Scizor @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature
Technician
-Bullet Punch
-U-Turn
-Superpower
-Pursuit

Heatran doesn't need 3 fire moves. That's just redundant. Earth Power is one of his best coverage moves, and should pretty much always be utilized. Try something along these lines:

Heatran @ Leftovers/Air Balloon
Modest Nature
Flash Fire
-Lava Plume
-Earth Power
-Substitute/HP Ice
-Toxic/Will-o-Wisp

Well my scisor is a shiny, so I'm lucky enough it's adamant... the ability is a setback I know, but i have to deal with it. For Heatran I'll see about adding earth power, but i'm not a fan of status moves, so will-o-whisp and toxic won't be in my move list. As for Metagross, thanks for the tips, it'll probably help me like it a little more. haha.
