So i've recently started playing a bit of competitive play for pokemon oras against some friends and for now i have basically exhausted my ideas for the team right now. so maybe a little help from you guys? :) here's my team!

enter image description here

Physical Sweeper
Garchomp@garchompite
Rough skin/sand force
Adamant
EV's 252atk/252spe/4hp
Moves:
EQ (STAB ground type move)
Outrage (another powerful stab move. getting confused is a risk)
Iron Head (Fairy/ice type coverage)
Fire Fang/Poison Jab (Coverage/ if iron head doesn't work)

enter image description here

Sand Stormer/bulky sweeper
Tyranitar@weakness policy
Sand Force
Jolly
EV's 252HP/202spe/50atk
Moves:
DDance (Powerups setup)
Superpower/Thunder punch (team coverage)
Substitute (another Setup thingy)
Rock Slide (STAB + Flinch)

Pretty straightforward so far with these two helping each other out.

enter image description here

The ?? Special Sponge
Blissey@leftovers
Natural Cure/Serene Grace (I don't know which to use, hence the ??)
Calm
EV's 252HP/180def/76Sdef
Moves
Softboiled (healing because i have no idea how to get wish bliss)
Heal bell (team cure status)
Body Slam/Flamethrower/Thunder (STAB + para or coverage)
Toxic/Zen Headbutt/Rockslide (toxi stall or flinch)

I'm Using a Toxistall strategy on her right now but im considering ParaFlinch as a troll moveset

enter image description here

Hazard Setter Phazer
Skarmory@occa berry
sturdy
Bold
EV's 252hp/56def/200spe
Moves:
Tailwind(for speed problems in the team)

enter image description here

Another Steel type! Defogger
Scizor@focus sash/Red card/lefties

Impish
EV's 252hp/204def/52sdef
Moves:
Bullet punch (priority stab)

enter image description here

Special Sweep
Greninja@life orb/focus sash/assault vest
Protean
Modest
EVs 252spA/252spe/4sdef
Moves:

Pretty standard Greninja here but effective

So that's basically my team for singles OU right now. Any suggestions are appreciated and i would very much like for this team to grow with more synergy. thank you and merry Xmas everyone!

So you have done pretty well with this team. You have a slight Azu and sableye weakness but that's not too bad. You also have no switchins to Heatran once Garchomp is gone. Just things to keep in mind, that's all.

Garchomp's set is great. You don't really need Poison Jab/Fire Fang as you have iron head so either change it for swords dance, dragon claw (safer than outrage) or even stealth rock as your Skarmory is crippled by a taunt.

With Tyranitar you should probably change your item to a life orb or leftovers. Just more reliable. Also change your set to
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Rock Slide
just generally a good set to have on ttar

Natural Cure on Blissey. You could also use Chansey with an Eviolite. Either way, your set should be
-Soft Boiled
-Toxic
-Heal Bell
-Seismic Toss

Skarmory's set is pretty standard. Maybe put in brave bird so that taunt doesn't shut it down but it's fine other than that

Scizor is slightly strange. I personally prefer...
Choice Band
Technician
Jolly Nature
252 Att/ 252 SpA/ 4 hp
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite/U-Turn
-Superpower
-Knock Off
However I understand you want a defoger. You could make it life orbed and put in defog or give defog to Skarmory maybe

Greninja is perfect, just run gunk shot over U-Turn. Just bare in mind that it may be banned soon so I would be aware that you may have to change it soon

Best of luck man, hope I helped :)

For garchomp,  I generally use poison jab in cases that I do run into an azumarril as some fairies are not weak to steel such as azumarril and also as coverage because this team lacks a fire type. In which case I have my assault vest heatran I can switch with tyranitar if need be.  as for item usage I tend to use different ones for all my mons as it isn't really innovative to see a team with all 6 life orbs or lefties. Although I could use the life orb, I'm already using it for greninja atm. In addition for blissey, wifi battles that I've been doing usually would be just lvl 50 mons so seismic toss I think would be crippled to 50 damage. Also I've considered getting an evolite chansey just didn't have the time to breed for one yet lol. Lastly for scizor I could replace Roost although I'd be losing recovery  in the long run. But yes I'll try this set out along with switch to heatran instead of ttar, That was just my explanation in the matter. But either way, Thanks very much for the input sir!
