So a bit of a story for why I came up with this certain team: since Salandit was released, I've seen a LOT of people immediately claim it as "best waifu". So in honor for this newfound best girl, I decided to make a team entirely based on the other reptilian, or "scalie", waifus of Pokemon. Prior to writing this, I haven't actually battled with this team.

Hot Stuff (Charizard) (F) @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flamethrower
- Roost
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast

Aunt Jemima (Nidoqueen) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 248 HP / 240 Def / 20 SpA
Serious Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower

/vp/'s Closet Mascot (Goodra) (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Bomb
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
- Fire Blast

Heck Off (Serperior) @ Big Root
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Substitute
- Leech Seed

Ariel (Milotic) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Marvel Scale
IVs: 0 Atk
- Recover
- Haze
- Scald
- Ice Beam

/vp/'s (other) Mascot (Heliolisk) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Grass Knot
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hyper Voice
 
Some extremely quick improvements based on a preliminary glance that attempt to keep the reptile theme intact:

Tyranitar (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 156 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Superpower
- Pursuit

Use this in place of Goodra. Banded Tyranitar + Mega Charizard Y is one of the best cores in ORAS OU - they can help each other reset weather in order to maximize active turns, and banded Pursuit Tyranitar eliminates Lati@s, which are some of the very few reliable CharY switchins. Goodra is generally just kinda below average as a Pokemon, banded TTar is better.

Garchomp @ Lum Berry/Focus Sash
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Swords Dance

Garchomp @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 240 HP / 176 Def / 92 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Dragon Tail
- Fire Blast

Use one of these in place of Nidoqueen. Just a MUCH better Pokémon in general, one of the best Stealth Rock setters in the entire game.

Serperior @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 56 HP / 200 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power Fire
- Substitute
- Leech Seed

This is the set your Serp should be running. It has enough HP to prevent rotom-w from breaking its Subs with Hydro Pump, but beyond that, it's better to just dump EVs in SpA instead of investing further in HP.

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 88 HP / 220 Atk / 4 Def / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Bounce
- Waterfall
- Substitute

This team is definitely more of a bulky offense archetype than a balance one, so it would be pointless to put something like Milotic on the team - all it will do is kill your momentum and give opponents a chance to get going. DD Gyarados gives you a win condition, since your other Pokemon are more wallbreakers (ttar and Charizard), support (garchomp), and a glue/late-game cleaner (serperior).

Latios @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock/Surf
- Recover
- Defog

Using ZardY and Gyarados means that hazard control is a must for you, and Latios fits that role perfectly. Unfortunately, it's not really a "waifu" per se, but it's strictly better than Latias. You can safely run psyshock since your team handles heatran pretty well (chomp beats it, and it won't appreciate switching into zardY or banded TTar if you get the predictions right. Even Serp can beat it if it's behind a sub when tran comes in by whittling it with Leech Seed and spamming Substitute), but Surf is an option if you just really dislike Tran or want to hit Hippo without lowering your SpA. If you INSIST on female only, then you can use this:

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Healing Wish
- Defog

Latias provides HW support that means you can afford to play reckless with your Gyarados early in the game and then bring it back for a sweep later, but it doesn't have room to run recovery so its longevity is much lower than Latios, on top of being weaker offensively.
