"When torrential water tosses boulders, it is because of its momentum. When the strike of a hawk breaks the body of its prey, it is because of timing."

I can't remember where in the world I heard this, but it gave me inspiration for a new team!
(I made it in a hurry and have won all the times with it, but haven't got the time to get it rated)

The basis of this team is dealing flat out punishment.
The first three pokemon are self-explanatory and more imporatntly, form the VoltTurn core. I've tried something new (atleast for me) and given three pokemon switching moves, which is why this team has more momentum and since these thre in combination have no real weakness, the utility is deceptively good.
The rest are for supporting and covering blindsides.

Weavile is a good revenge killer that can rid me of Greninja and many other pokemon, and is also unexpected.
Latios is one of the stars of the team. Since my team has a Stealth Rock weakness, doesn't appreciate any forms of entry hazards, and for the smoother functioning of the core, it carries Defog to cure all of it in one go, while also remaining true to the title of Hyperoffense.
Mawile is my premier sweeper, it can devastate entire teams if left unchecked, so yeah self-explantory. Also to help me shake off troublesome pokemon like Ferrothorn, Scizor, Forretress and Skarmory, (all of which can cause problems) with FIre Fang, and can set up to let me checkmate my opponent.

As always, feel free to place your opinions, advices and replacements on my team, because as I said, it's an Extempore team, which I made the instant I felt like it without giving a second thought.

nice team  dude
Lol change that answer to a comment, thanks though :)
Awesome. 1 tiiiiiiiny suggestion though: Lum berry instead of Chesto berry on Rotom, to prevent other status conditions.
The thing is, preventing other status conditions kinda goes against the point of ChestoRest, since if you get a different status condition, your Lum Berry will be used and it won't wake you up from Rest.
The only pokemon that can successfully pull off a LumRest set in the OU imo is probably Trevenant, with it's Harvest ability.
Btw is it just me, or should Rotom-W run a more specially defensive set, rather than defensive?
instead of choice band give it life orb

I can find no faults in this team! Having a Defoger is completely needed if you are using a Talonflame! Wonderful job. The only edit I could go for is Mawiles EV spread, Mawile is a very slow pokemon, nothing can really speed it up very much, You might want to invest more EV's into Hit Points.

Do you think though that Rotom-W would do better than the rotom I have, or is that excusable?
