Just looking for feedback on what you guys think/recommend possible replacement pokes to try anything I'm new to the competitive scene.

Lead/SR setter
Azelf@Focus Sash
Levitate
Naive
252 Atk 252 Spe 4 HP
Stealth Rocks
Knock Off
Taunt
Explosion
Basic set up Rocks or taunt their rock setter possibly knock off a lefties or just get rid of their Sturdy or Sash then go BOOM!
Kinda has been a filler but I've liked it a lot

Mega
Manectric@Manectrite
Intimidate(Lightning Rod)
Timid
252 Sp. Atk 252 Spe 4 Def
Volt Switch
Flamethrower
HP Ice
T-Bolt
First half of my volturn core

Banded/Priority revenge killer
Scizor@Choice Band
Technician
Adamant
252 HP 252 Atk 4 Sp. Def
Bullet Punch
Pursuit
Superpower
U-Turn
For those last bits of HP left on an enemy poke that needs to go down or for a slow U-Turn into a safe switch for a better suited poke

Spinner/Status Absorber
Starmie@Assault Vest
Natural Cure
Timid
252 Sp. Atk 252 Spe 4 Def
Rapid Spin
Ice Beam
Psyshock
Surf
I run Volcarona and a Volturn core so I need to get rid of Rocks and entry hazards alike I like Assault Vest for giving me a little more of a defensive starmie with spin in case I can't outspeed to get the spin off

Setup Sweeper
Volcarona@Passho Berry
Flame Body
Timid
252 Sp. Atk 252 Spe 4 HP
Quiver Dance
Fiery Dance
Bug Buzz
Giga Drain
Passho Berry so you have a better chance to survive a water hit giga Drain for life regen bug buzz for average STAB(filler) and fiery dance to make your sweep even stronger a +1 from QD is enough to get you going and then next thing you know you've gone through their whole team

Scarf/Revenge killer
Landorus-T @Choice Scarf
Intimidate
Jolly
252 Atk 252 Spe 4 Sp. Def
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Knock Off
U-Turn
Other half to my main volturn core having 2 intimidators is nice too against talonflame especially, also my main heatran counter for Volcarona

Thanks for any feedback you can give guys

starmie scald > surf ...30% burn chance is worth it

i wouldnt worry about fighting water types with volc b/c as long as its boosted with quiver dance giga drain can handle them, i'd worry more about rock atks b/c it is 4x weak to it

Building on this, I'd recommend Leftovers/Focus Sash on Volcarona. If you're going lefties though, I'd recommend putting a bit extra into bulk.

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Psyshock

This is a bulkier all around set and doesn't have to sacrifice Recover :)

Honestly you seem extremely hyper offensive and that isn't always great. If anything, I'd have to question Lando-T on this team at all. Manectric deals with Talonflame just fine, and Scizor can come in on SD non-Flare Blitz sets which are the norm for like the last year and a bit.

I agree I do feel this team is very hyper offensive ive been trying to tweak in a couple bulkier pokes or atleast one I'm honestly very very new to the competitive scene I've mostly just been breeding competitive ones for others more than using them. Anything you guys recommend over lando?

I might recommend a bulky Hippowdon build, to keep the ground STAB and also get Stealth Rock - then, you could even replace Azelf :)
