I have decided upon my first 4 members for my competitive team. I can't really decide who to use for the last two members, but you could you all please rate the first 4 and give suggestions for the next 2.

;359;Absol @ ?
Trait: Super Luck
Nature: Jolly
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Night Slash
Stone Edge
Aerial Ace
X-Scissor

I wasn't really sure if he would need Swords Dance seeing as he wouldn't take hits very well. Could a Focus Sash maybe solve that problem?

;227;Skarmory @ Leftovers
Trait: Does it really matter?
Nature: Impish
252 Defense, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Stealth Rock
Whirlwind
Brave Bird
Steel Wing

;474;Porygon-Z @ ?
Trait: Adaptability
Nature: Modest/Timid
252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Tri-Attack
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Nasty Plot

;477;Dusknoir @ ?
Trait: Pressure
Nature: Careful
252 Sp. Defense, 252 Attack, 6 HP
Shadow Punch
Earthquake
Will-o-Wisp
Pain Split

Suggestions? Comments? Next 2 Pokemon?
 

the q

Alright
That Absol needs Choice Scarf, unless it wants to be OHKOed before it can attack. Dusknoir wants leftovers.

Alright
Protect on Dusknoir seems like filler, despite its nice Pressure. I would use an elemental Punch instead. Ice and Thunder can help cover weaknesses and turn Dusknoir into a counter.

PorygonZ doesn't need to be Timid with Choice Scarf, use Modest. btw, papermarkis, your PorygonZ set was fine just give it Life Orb or Leftovers as the hold item.

You could always switch it in just incase something hits you just enough to get you to low HP. But then again, it probably won't survive a hit.
