Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- X-Scissor

Scizor is one of my favoirte pokemon so i wanted to find a way to fit it into a team however,pretty much any fire type pokemon can kill it so i decided to make a rain team.I use superpower to deal with heatran.

Pelipper (M) @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 36 Def / 224 SpD

Pretty obvious choice,needed someone to set up rain.

Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

Kingdra is a fast sweeper and is generally good if you can get it on the field.Singal beam is there to deal with dark types since my team is kinda weak to them.
Celebi @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

Celebi is just here because its kind of tanky and good offensivley also i needed a grass type.

EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

I just wanted to get myself another set up sweeper and Xurkitree does that.If youre able to land z hypnosis you can set up a tail glow,kill your opponent and get a beast boost buff.

Here are the changes I would suggest to this team:
1. Hippowdown is a big momentum sink and is only really suited for defensive teams. It messes up your own Rain as well, so it's not suited for this team.
I reccomend swapping it for Mega Swampert. It provides an electric immunity and a second rain abuser and solid wallbreaker. It also pressures a lot of Kingdra answers such as Ferrothorn.
2. Celebi and Xurkitree are both just not viable in OU. The competition in OU is too stiff for either of them to keep. I reccomend swapping Celebi for Ferrothorn. Ferrothorn helps vs Ash-Greninja and Mega Alakazam, both pokemon your team struggles with in its current state. And swap Xurkitree for Ash-Greninja. A-Gren had good synergy with your other rain sweepers and is a great pokemon on rain in general.
3. Maybe swap Mega Scizor with Tornadus to provide a Kartana and Mega Medi pivot. Scizor doesnt have much synergy with your team.

Gonna be honest with you, there isn't any fixing this team. Hippowdown and Scizor are the only 2 OU viable mons on the team (save pelipper but it certainly isn't viable when kingdra is the only sweeper to take advantage of rain). I would recommend finding a sample team here (https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sm-ou-sample-teams.3695427/) so you have a good team to learn the tier with, and once you better understand the tier you can work on teambuilding from there.

I am locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least three lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and look at Team Showcase to see the detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions, and I will be happy to unlock this. Also, feel free to PM me if you need help or have any question. Have a nice day!

To PM someone on Smogon, go over their name on any of their post. It will display a little pop-up with a summary of their profile. Then, hit the "Start conversation" button and you will be able to write a PM just like you write a regular thread.

Why did you choose this Pokemon?
What do the EV spreads do and why do you have it?
What are all 4 moves for?
