So this is a team I have recently come up with. I started with one of my favorite megas, Sableye.
The Prankster into Magic Bounce combo is very powerful. 200 Def Evs and Will o Wisp are really good for defense, and Calm Mind and Snarl are for the special side. Snarl also shuts down other calm mind strats.
My set:
M-Sableye @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Snarl

Next is a double regenerator strategy, so I chose Alomomola and Amoonguss. Alomomola is really good with Knock Off, and it shuts down eviolite strategies, and Toxic Protect Wish can stall out the opponent and heal himself and allies.
My set:
Alomomola @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SpD
Impish Nature
- Knock Off
- Toxic
- Protect
- Wish

For my Amoonguss, I chose a spore and clear smog set, with giga drain for coverage, STAB, and healing, and Synthesis for healing. Also, switching between Alomomola and Amoonguss can get a lot of out plays and nice regenerator healing. Clear Smog can also shut down setup pokémon. Alomomola is also more physically defensive, Amoonguss is more specially defensive.
My set:
Amoonguss @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 56 SpA / 200 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Giga Drain
- Clear Smog
- Synthesis
- Spore

So if one of the previous three dies, I wanted a revenge killer. Weavile was the perfect option. Life Orb and these high power STAB moves have led to insane sweeps, I've used Weavile on different teams, and he is an amazing sweeper.
My set:
₩eavile @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Icicle Crash
- Fake Out
- Knock Off
- Brick Break

Amoonguss and Weavile both have a pretty serious fire weakness, so Heatran was a good option. I can absorb the moves with Flash Fire, and strike back with an array of powerful Specs, 56 EV, Modest, and possibly STAB/super effective hits.
My set:
Heatran @ Choice Specs
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 200 HP / 56 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 1 Atk / 30 Spe
- Flash Cannon
- Lava Plume
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Dark Pulse

Because of Heatran's 4x ground weakness, a flying type was a good choice. A ground type could also be great backup for Alomomola. Ground is Immune to electric, and the only thing toxic can't take down is steel and poison types, which ground is super effective against. The U-Turn can also get outplays. Stealth Rock is nice for the beginning too.
My set:
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 200 HP / 128 Atk / 80 SpD / 100 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stealth Rock

So that's my team. Please say what you think.

Good team! I don't have much comments. You're playing semi-stall and it should work, but full stall is king in OU.
I have a few quickfixes though:

  • Standardize your Sableye. Snarl is good in some situations but Shadow Ball is superior for it gets neutral damage on Fairy-type Pokémon and has fewer resists than Dark.

Sableye @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp

  • Alomomola is fine, but Knock Off feels iffy. Scald could be better because you have Knock Off on Weavile mainly, but also for the burn chance. Again, having Will-O-Wisp on Sableye underlines a certain ambivalence so it's really up to your personal preference. Should you find Wish passing not good enough a perk though, Slowbro could make for a nice replacement as a Water-type with Regenerator.

  • Low Kick is better on Weavile. Trust me it's better. Screens are a big gimmick, and Low Kick's extra power on the relevant Pokémon is much needed.

Test out these small changes and tell me what you think.

Thank you for your response. First, I immediately took that Weavile suggestion, it is a great idea. Next, the Alomomola. Scald would actually not be that good because I already have toxic, and that double status is useless. The Knock Off has actually worked really well. With Sableye, I am kind of torn. The Snarl has worked so well, but Shadow ball could be really good. But thanks so much for your response!
