Yay, bout time! Sadly male, but i just need to hunt a female now :3

I would recommend Garchomp. Your current team has zero defenses against volt switch strategies. Volt switch + U TURN is a good option, specially cause of umbreons type. I'd also put stealth rock instead of spikes, since spikes cant do much against some compositions (levitate, flying tipes). Of course, 3 spikes are better than stealth rocks, but in competitive matches you most likely wont have that much of free rounds. If possible, try to put defog in charge of Rotom. Why? Magnezone can easily counter Skarmory, and dont forget to take a look in the taunt users: Gyarados/Mandibuzz, as they can easily deny your defog, while with rotom-wash, i dont think they would dare in face of a possible volt switch.

Congratulations @calidubstep! Thank you all for participating :3

Congratulations to JakiroMax and Brianattackpro! Thank you all for participating ^^

You are giving me ideas haha

Cofagrigus, like said, is a solid option BUT cofagrigus cant defeat Bulk up + leftovers conkeldur with stone edge (or another move without direct contact). That being said, if you want to 100% counter Conkeldurr with it, you need the haze move. Burning it (bulk up + leftovers set) will only helping it to sweep you, since it will never lost the guts ability. You can also counter it via special outspeed (Togekiss, gengar).

Darmanitan with u-turn choice scarf is a good lead option, and you can have volt-turn in the team (Darmanitan+Rotom).

Hello! Nowadays, its very important to have rapid spin/defog in your party, and you have one of them! As for the Togekiss, i'd put Nasty plot + air slash, otherwise blissey can pretty much tank 80% of your team. I personally dont think that rapid spin + life orb is a good option, cause even though you have the recover move, you are losting some coverage and can die against scizor uturn/pursuit without the surf. Same with pursuit tyranitar. Seems like Umbreon is your only "countermeasure" against Garchomp, cause although gengar can outspeed garchomp, its definitely not a safe switch-in ,so i'd recomend you to put Foul Play. With this move, garchomp will die for its own attack power. Another foul play option (and defogger) would be Mandibuzz.

Hello! If you want to use this team in OU, then you need a few adjustments against the most common strats. I cant see in your team any pokemon able to learn defog/rapid spin, good movements against stealth rocks and the likes. Well, Salamence can learn defog, but since you are using an offensive one i wouldnt recommend. - Reuniclus (Calm Mind set) is usually Bold (252 HP 252 DEF), and with focus blast (yeah, i know the accuracy is not great, but you need that against the likes of tyranitar/hydreigon/ferrothorn. If you are not bulk enough, you'll never have time to setup some calm minds, cause of U-TURNS and other physical moves. - Your garchomp got a mixed natured (you are not getting punished in special attack), but i cant see any benefit in it, since you are not using any special attack. - Offensive Salamance is usually mixed (with atleast flamethrower), but since yours is adamant, you should try fire fang instead. - Garchomp moveset could be : Swords Dance, Earthquake,Dragon Claw, Fire Fang/Substitute/Fire Blast, Since you are using a mixed nature, i'd recommend the last one (Fire Blast), since you can literally 2HKO defensive skarmory without any Effort Value in special attack. Against the Volt-Turn strat (Opponent Volt Switch and U-Turn you to death) you have a ground type to stop this loop, which is good, but since its not a defensive pokemon, you can be predicted and damaged by Flash Cannon/Hidden Power Ice/Hydro Pump (Magnezone/Jolteon/rotom, basically the volt switchers of the OU tier), so take care! I hope that this can help you to build your team, I'd replace salamence since you have enough attack power (chomp, gyarados), and i'd put a defensive pokemon that can cover ferrothorn's weaknesses. Milotic can do this job well, but since you have nothing against stealth rocks and the likes, i'd recommend a rotom defogger, if you really want to keep that volcarona in your team (remember Volcarona's insta loss of 50%HP only by entering a field with stealth rocks). If you have other questions, please dont hesitate.

In my opinion, you need countermeasurements against stealth rocks, cause you are using volcarona (takes 50% damage by entering a field with stealth rock). Since you are using rotom, you can teach him defog, he is a great defogger. Plus, i think that your skarmory needs atleast 1 ofensive move, otherwise you cant do much against taunt.
