id go with this for scizor
Scizor (Adamant) @Life Orb
Ability (Technician)
EVs: 252 Hp/ 252 Att/ 4 Spd
~ Roost
~ Bullet Punch
~ Bug Bite
~ Sword Dance

the speed Evs are not need so much due to bullet punch

Dragonite looks good but i'd put earthquake over Extreme Speed

Elegance.
Echoing what soybtree said.

I'd rather if you choose Milotic as your third member. It will absorb the Ice and Fire type attacks that will harm your Dragonite and Scizor respectively.

Also, change Surf to Scald. And invest your Special Attack EVs to hp, and your Defense EVs to Special Defense.

You're going to have to take advantage of Marvel Scale, and you cannot afford to lose to something as petty as a Focus Blast with that distribution.

EDIT: Here's a move set if you're having trouble visualizing that.

Milotic @ Flame Orb
Ability: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 hp, 252 sp.def, 4 def
Nature: Calm
~ Scald
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk
~ protect/Ice Beam

Well, Ice Beam is there for general Water type coverage, that is, if you need it.

3 sum!!!
I think if your going to have a lead it should be a lead and not a sweeper. Other than that it seems pretty good.

taking your advice, i have do some research, i have come out with this

Aerodactyl@Focus Sash
Role: Taunt Lead, Stealth Rock Lead
Ability: Unnerve
Nature: Jolly (+spd, -sp.atk)
Evs: 252 spd, 252 atk, 6 hp
Move:
-Taunt
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Ariel Ace

taunt will fix alot of thunder wave and will o wisp which i notice its quite common in super singles and stealth rock will help soften and prevent revenge kill from focus sash and sturdy pokemon....

what do you think? do it fit with Scizor and Dragonite?

Milotic would be a good choice. Something I found out is if you leave any hole the AI will exploit.. Not might, they WILL.

o.k, so my team would be

1st: Scizor
2nd: Dragonite
3rd: Milotic

also i posted this on other forum and some suggest an alternate move set for milotic.

Milotic@Flame Orb
Role: Bulky Water, Wall
Ability: Marvel Scale
Nature: Calm (+sp.def, -atk)
Evs: 252 hp, 252 sp.def, 4 def
Move:
-Protect
-Recover
-Scald
-Ice Beam

they say this way i dont have to worry about getting screwed by RNG which sleeptalk is relay on while keeping marvel scale.

what do you guys think of this milotic? better? or should i use the move that Sheimi suggested?

Here's a Scizor set.

Scizor@LO
Adamant
252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP
U-turn/Bug Bite
Swords Dance
Bullet Punch
Superpower

thanks everyone, i'm going to start breeding right now, and i'm going to clone couple of Scyther to test out which Scizor work best.
