Having a team full of sweepers really isn't the best idea. You need a couple of tanky pokes in there eg. Weezing, Skarmory, Milotic etc.

yeh tanks rock. you could have a dusclops in there, dusclops is good. or a bulky water like milotic or lapras

If you use Endeavor, make the HP divisble by four so substitute makes it really strong.

A 3x Fire weakness and 4 of your team dies to Aerodactyl means you really need a better Water type than Crawdaunt.

Honestly, it sickens me how much Ice Beam and Surf and Toxic moves you suggest for every pokemon that can learn it. :/

Haha, Qwilfish, wtf?
Honestly, it sickens me how much you question STANDARD movesets. Do you have better moves to suggest? No you don’t! And then you go and suggest the most obscure Pokémon as counters. :/

And one more thing - Ever heard of Pressure? Suicune has over 400 HP, how is Seismic Toss going to defeat something that has Rest AND can sweep?

Because there is also Mind Reader + Sheer Cold Articunos you should worry about.

(。◕‿‿◕。)

First off, Mind-Reader + Sheer Cold Articuno does not exist in-game. Also, only noobs would use an Articuno like that and OHKO moves are banned from all tournaments.

Those movesets are fine as they are and since you didn’t give any alternative suggestions, you must agree as well. Next time you want to contribute something, go and actually suggest movesets instead of giving terrible reasons for why something won’t work.

raichu lover, aragornbird is right and stop questioning him about those great movesets. But aragornbird those EV's are sort of odd, I think Milotic needs some Special Defense, along with the rest of your guys.
 

aragornbird

(。◕‿‿◕。)

They don’t really need special defense since their job is to stop powerful physical sweepers like Salamence and Tyranitar (and Aerodactyl which this team is weak to). That means their primary focus is defense and you shouldn’t be keeping them in against Electric/Grass types anyways.

Swampert is the one Bulky Water that needs special defense since it isn't resistant to Water and Ice.

7 Pokémon can’t fit on one team.

Don’t use Hidden Powers in-game. Bite or Agility on that Jolteon.

That Typhlosion and Salamence moveset are terrible.

i really need to stress this but you shouldn't have 2 moves on the same type for any Pokemon, even if the move gets STAB

Toxic can be replaced with substitute if you want...both will work well enough
 
I like using that type of sceptile, but i like another one too:
Sceptile @Leftovers/Timid
-Subitute
-Leech Seed
-Toxic
-Double Team
This thing can kill entire teams and on netbattle, causes people to forfiet.
i also have a strict special sweeper;
Sceptile @Scope Lens/modest
-Thunderpunch
-Leaf Blade
-Crunch
-Dragon Claw
This also sweeps entire teams, though it is always KO'ed by Aerodactyl'e aerial ace.
