Pronouns
  1. He/Him
Ninjask @ Focus Sash
jolly nature
252 HP / 156 Def / 100 Speed
- Protect
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
- Swords Dance

ninjask's ability speed boost will multiply ninjasks speed by 1.5 at the end of each turn
and with baton pass and 252 HP EV's and 156 defence EV's, it is quite bulky (for a ninjask....)

combine this with swords dance and the chosen sweeper can literally rip apart the opponents team
protect is for pokemon that can use fake out and break ninjask's sash and we all know how often sashes are broken by fake out users

Heatran @ Shuca Berry
Bold Nature
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpAtk
- Fire blast
- Stealth Rock
- HP Ice
- Will-o-wisp

I have a new heatran thanks to action replay's wild pokemon modifier code and this 1 is EV trained in defence and HP to make it a physical wall.

swampert really counters this set so much but it is not an offensive set, the stratagy is to burn the opponent and then set up stealth rock. after that if someone new switches in it tries to burn them again with will-o-wisp or tries to kill salamence and scizor with HP Ice and Fire blast.

Latias @ Expert Belt
timid Nature
4 Def / 252 SpAtk / 252 Speed
- Recover
- Dragon Pulse
- Grass Knot
- HP fire

A bait Latias, the opponent will think this a Scarf/Specs Latias and will bring in a pokemon that resists the move I used before.

Then, latias can do lots of damage to weavile and tyranitar who often carry pursuit, scizor also is threatened as latias can 1HKO scizor with HP fire
If latias did not have HP Fire: scizor could kill latias quite easily

Scizor @ Lum berry
Adamant Nature
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Ability: Technician
- Night Slash
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor

A standard SD scizor and with over 350 attack and swords dance: not much can wall it and counter it 100% of the time.
it
night slash and X-scissor are quite powerful moves, I feel sorry for celebi's who have to get 2HKO'ed or 1HKO'ed by this thing.
Bullet punch is a priority move that gets a STAB bounus abd also technician and swords dance can really do some damage

Absol @ Expert Belt
Jolly Nature
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed
Ability: Super Luck
- Sucker Punch
- Psycho Cut
- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge

Expert Belt + super luck + Sucker Punch + a celebi = a lot of damage.
I cannot decide what item to give this thing as both speed and attack are extremely useful when trying to kill the opponent’s Pokémon.

Sucker punch is the strongest priority move when used by absol due to items and STAB.
sucker punch is for celebi and latias, psycho cut is useful for killing fighting types and poison types

Stone edge is useful for killing salamence and unlike super power, it can be used with any item.

Electivire @ Expert belt
Mild Nature
36 Atk / 252 SpAtk / 220 Speed
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Punch
- HP Grass/Earthquake
- Cross Chop/fire Punch

The whole idea of this set is to super effect as many Pokémon as possible.
With thunderbolt, ice punch, cross chop and earthquake: electivire can super effect 13 types which is almost all the types.
It also works with ninjask, absorbing the electric moves aimed at ninjask and getting a speed boost.


as for what I say about celebi in scizor's description: no, I do not feel sorry for celebi. I am glad as:

Jirachi>Celebi, in my opinion.

LOL @ Ninjask novelty.

Drop Ominous Wind, you don't need to be taking a 10% chance with something so frail. Replace it with substitute, so you can pass that instead and also block status attempts. Also if you see a taunt user, then you switch to your special guys.

I'd also recommend going with a more defensive Heatran/Latias (your pick), if you decide to go with the Ninjask I just mentioned.
 
I agree that Ominous Wind is a stupid idea. A 10% chance is just way too small.

I also have to say that Substitute is irrelevent with the Focus Sash. (Sorry, Dexington.)

My choice? Taunt. It can stop anyone's attempts to either Taunt you or lay Stealth Rock.
 
You could replace ominous wind with substitute and focus sash with lefties. Recover might work over HP for latias.

Didn't look at the item, good point. I'd say go with leftovers or a Lansat/Petaya berry then. You could sub down to activate it.

Taunt is also a good option, as Taunt kills all Ninjask's.
 
Remind me how Ninjask learns taunt. Oh yeah, it doesn't. Ominous wind=bad idea. I like sub+liechi or sub leftovers. Pursuit shouldn't be on a sweeping scizor, only a banded one. Replace it for bug bite/roost/quick attack.

Lastly, I presume this is meant to bo a HO team (hyper offense). In that case, get rid of Latias, and while I want to say add tyranitar, but that would ruin ninjask. As of now, your only solution to rotom is absol, so add a pursuit user like metagross, who benifits from the speed boost. The point of heavy offense is to make sure your opponents team counters all of your pokemon with one of his. Then sacrifice one of your pokemon in order to get rid of it, then sweep a team without counters to you pokemon.
 
I don't really see a point for quick attack on Scizor when it already has bullet punch. I think Superpower would be pretty good on scizor so that you can pick off enemy Heatrans on the switch.
