Hello, and welcome to my RMT. This is probably the most successful team I've made. It peaked around the 1600s on the TeamUber ladder. I've built this team around an Empoleon sweep, a seemingly forgotten threat. Without further ado, my team.

252 Att/252 HP/4 Spe
~ Stealth Rock
~ Meteor Mash
~ Bullet Punch
~ Explosion
Metagross leads my team, as he is a bulky SR'er that can beat many common leads and completely obliterate something with explosion. If I'm forced out, I get to use its bulk and power for later. Meteor Mash is the primary attack and bullet punch for sashes.
Top 10 Leads
Green=Easy, Orange= Small problem, Red= Terrible
Azelf - Meteor Mash + bullet punch, GG
Aerodactyl - MM + Bp.
Swampert - Both of us gets up rocks, I usually switch to Starmie, or explode.
Machamp - MM x 2.
Metagross- Both get up rocks, I usually MM to scout what it has. If he switched, then he has MM too, if he EQ'ed, Rotom can take care of it.
Jirachi- SR, take scarf to use later.
Infernape - I have to switch to starmie and 2hko, but I will take a chunk of damage in return.
Ninjask - SR on protect, keep breaking subs and see what comes in.
Roserade - MM + bp usually does the trick...
Hippowdon - Same as Swampy, but Starmie can OHKO this time.
Tyranitar - SR, then attack away.

252 HP/252 Spe/4 Att
~ Earthquake
~ Toxic
~ Taunt
~ Roost
Ah, my stallbreaker, semi-physical wall, and lucario check. I use Gliscor whenever I see a stall team and completely wreck it since taunt will prevent healing, toxic will wear thm down, and roost heals me. Earthquake is used as my only attack, and it OHKOs Lucario, which is always a threat to many teams. He provides a useful electric immunity and defeat electrics with Toxic/EQ(as long as no HP ice).

252 SpA/252 Spe/4 Def
~ Thunderbolt
~ Shadow Ball
~ Overheat
~ Trick
Rotom-H serves as my revenge killer, ground, normal, and fighting immunity, and a generic special attacker. The thing I love about this guy is that he blocks off explosions and can actually sweep entire teams with his attacks. the scarf allows him to trick blissey, slow set-up attackers, and out-speed huge threats such as Starmie and Gengar. It's my secondary check to Lucario, and my Gyarados killer.

Outrage
Kingdra is my first sweeper, that sets up on a multitude of pokes. Since it's only weakness is dragon and its defenses are decent, it's very hard to bring down. It sets up on starmie, since it lives 2 attacks from LO, and 2 DD's allow it to out-speed the premier revenge killer, flygon. Once I get my boosts, I rest it off, wake up and destroy. Due to his immense power, he can usually crack stall wide open. Waterfall + Outrage gives it perfect coverage after its boosts.

252 Spe/252 SpA/4 Def
~ Surf
~ Thunderbolt
~ Ice beam
~ Recover
Starmie's blazing Speed and great type coverage make it a fearsome special sweeper who is especially potent as a late-game cleaner against offensive teams. Surf > Hydro pump because of that dangerous accuracy that lost me countless matches. Boltbeam for coverage. Recover heals off the LO recoil. Starmie is my Nape check and without her, he would kill me. Unless a special wall comes in, it is very difficult to switch into her since pursuit users get maimed by surf.

12 HP / 252 SpA / 244 Spe
~ Agility
~ Substitute
~ Surf
~ Grass knot
Finally, the star of the team. With 12 resists and rotom's ability to lock an opponent to an attack, it is very easy to get an agility up and start subbing. When completely set up, surf gets like a x3 boost. Grass knot is wanted to hit other waters that can wall me and hopefully they're weakened. It is also hard to revenge due to its typing, as it resists most priority moves. I really don't know why it has such low usage...
Well, that's my team, rate away!
