EV help for JAA team

Misdreavus

used Perish Song!
Hey. I'm trying to finish my team for the JAA (2-vs-2). I haven't been as much involved in competitive battling in some time, and when the last time I was most active, the EVs I saw were something like 252/150/108. Here's what I need EV help on:

Snorlax (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Body Slam
- Shadow Ball
- Selfdestruct
- Protect

I looked at Smogon and used Snorlax's strategy page to try to help me with EVs. Here was what I came up with: 36 HP (467) / 64 Attack (290) / 184 Def (200) / 216 SDef (305) (remember that this is not NetBattle so all stats are not perfect). I then looked on here and all the Snorlaxes seem to be more focused on HP. Can someone help me out here? If you need my IVs, just ask and I'll post them.

Also, is the standard 252 (S)Atk / 252 Spd a good idea for a standard sweeper Kyogre/Groudon? Weather does not play much of a role in my team (no one with Swift Swim or Chlorophyll), so that's not much of an issue to me. I can always bring in Rayquaza if I have to. What do you all think?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Def are what I used on my Snorlax (I won one of the qualifiers).

I would suggest adding a Pokemon with SS/CH to complement Kyogre/Groudon, respectively. As for the EV's it all depends on what you want to do. Here's a tip for weather teams: the Pokemon that is the slowest gets the weather. For example if I sent out a Groudon with 279 as it's speed versus a Kyogre with a speed of 278, Groudon's drought would make the weather sunny then Kyogre would make it rain. Meaning the rain would stick.
