Emarald Elite 4 team.

Emerald Elite 4 team.

All right, any suggestions of possibly improving this set. Some of the EV's are a god-awful mess, so bear with me. All of them are level 45 or 46.

Note: As soon as I can trade with LG/FR, all Shell Bell's will be replaced with Lefties.

Blaziken - Shell Bell
Trait: Blaze
Nature: Jolly
EV's: High Attack and Speed, not sure about exact numbers.
'Brick Break
'Aerial Ace
'Overheat
'Bulk Up (To be replaced with Swords Dance ASAP)

My original starter, my main Physical Sweeper.

Swampert - Chesto Berry
Trait: Torrent
Nature: Relaxed
EV's: High Defense and Sp Defense. Again, bit messy.
'Dig (Will be replaced with Earthquake as soon as I level up enough)
'Surf (Water STAB)
'Rest
'Curse

Cursepert, meant to tank a while while Cursing and finally rest + Sweep with EQ.

Gardevoir - Shell Bell
Trait: Trace
Nature: Timid
EV's: SpA 252, Spd 252, SpD 6
'Psychic
'Thunderbolt
'Calm Mind
'Reflect

Main Special Sweeper. So standard it hurts. Not sure about the last move. I have WoWer in the team, so I didnt bother to breed a new Ralts with it.

Altaria - Shell Bell
Trait: Natural Cure
Nature: Modest
EV's: SpA 252, HP 252, SpD 6
'Dragon Claw
'Ice Beam
'Perish Song
'Dragon Dance (Only so I could breed it to a Bagon. Replacing with -anything-)

My teams wierdest member. I wanted a poke that could learn both Ice Beam and Dragon Claw and this one stood out thanks to its high defences and techy moves like Perish Song. It might be able to take Drake on by itself with the godly SpD + HP, while all its attacks do x2-x4 damage to his Dragons.

Cradily - Focus Band
Trait: Suction Cups
Nature: Sassy
EV's: 252 HP, 252 SpD, 6 Attack
'Rockslide
'Giga Drain
'Toxic
'Recover

Harrasser + Special Wall. I have the feeling Wallace will be a blast with this little fella.

Wheezing - Shell Bell
Trait: Levitate
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 Attack, Rest split between Def and HP
'Sludge Bomb
'Shadow Ball
'Explode
'Will-o-Wisp

Physical wall with powerful physical attacks to boot.

Overall its a pretty defensively oriented team. Any ideas on how to possibly improve?

Leftovers on all except where noted, before I start.

Blaziken - Shell Bell
Trait: Blaze
Nature: Jolly
EV's: High Attack and Speed, not sure about exact numbers. Some SAtk would be nice too
'Brick Break Sky Uppercut when you can get it unless you're one of those people who doesn't like the accuracy reduction
- Rock Slide
'Overheat
'Bulk Up (To be replaced with Swords Dance ASAP) Nice

My original starter, my main Physical Sweeper.

Swampert - Chesto Berry
Trait: Torrent
Nature: Relaxed
EV's: High Defense and Sp Defense. Again, bit messy. Just about everything but Spd tbh, HP needs a lot
'Dig (Will be replaced with Earthquake as soon as I level up enough)
'Surf (Water STAB)
'Rest
'Curse

Cursepert, meant to tank a while while Cursing and finally rest + Sweep with EQ.

Ok for InGame Cursepert. But Mixpert (IB > Rest, not hard) is better InGame.

Gardevoir - Shell Bell
Trait: Trace
Nature: Timid
EV's: SpA 252, Spd 252, SpD 6 Pretty much
'Psychic
'Thunderbolt
'Calm Mind
Hypnosis / Ice Punch / Fire Punch

Main Special Sweeper. So standard it hurts. Not sure about the last move. I have WoWer in the team, so I didnt bother to breed a new Ralts with it.

Listed options as you can see.

Altaria - Shell Bell
Trait: Natural Cure
Nature: Modest
EV's: SpA 252, HP 252, SpD 6 I guess, imo more SDef, less SAtk
'Dragon Claw
Flamethrower
Sing
Rest

My teams wierdest member. I wanted a poke that could learn both Ice Beam and Dragon Claw and this one stood out thanks to its high defences and techy moves like Perish Song. It might be able to take Drake on by itself with the godly SpD + HP, while all its attacks do x2-x4 damage to his Dragons.

Actually, DC is enough. And tbh, FlameClaw isn't weak to anything. Keep IB if you must though.

Cradily - Focus Band
Trait: Suction Cups
Nature: Sassy
EV's: 252 HP, 252 SpD, 6 Attack A bit more Def, but ok
'Rockslide
Earthquake
'Toxic
'Recover

Harrasser + Special Wall. I have the feeling Wallace will be a blast with this little fella.

Wheezing - Shell Bell
Trait: Levitate
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 Attack, Rest split between Def and HP More like Max HP, plenty of Def, and some Atk
'Sludge Bomb
'Shadow Ball
'Explode
'Will-o-Wisp

Physical wall with powerful physical attacks to boot.

Overall its a pretty defensively oriented team. Any ideas on how to possibly improve?

Looks ok to me, I didn't see anything.

Comments in bold.

So, a little EV tweaks here and there.

-Altaria drops Icebeam, replaces with Flamethrower.
-I'll turn the Cursepert into a Mixpert. It's not like I really need one more Phys-tank to go with Wheezing.
-Since Altaria does Fire damage now, I can ignore Blaziken as a Special Attacker for the most part. He can stick with Physical.
-Gardevoir can pick up Hypnosis. Aint no sleep clause ingame.
-And guess I can live without the Grass-STAB on Cradily, I'll use my second EQ-tm there.

Thanks for the suggestions.
