Just trying out a team for link battles, its not very balanced but meh, its mainly for fun. No i have not had any practice with this kind of thing. Ok here goes:

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Calm Nature, 252 HP,126 Def, 126 SpDef
Toxic
Wish
Meanlook
Pursuit

Trap with the look, and toxic. Pursuit if you think they will switch before menlook.

Scyther @ Salac
Adamant Nature : 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Silver Wind
Swords Dance
Aerial Ace/HP Flying
Endure
Endure for salac activation and swarm bonus, sweep.

OR

Scizor @ Leftovers
Jolly Nature: 252 Atk, 156 Def, 156 Spd
Swords Dance
Baton Pass
Silver Wind
Agility/Quick Attack

Baton Passer... meh

Sneasal @ Leftovers
Adamant/Jolly Nature : 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Hp
Swords Dance
Shadow Ball
Subsitute
Quick Attack/Brick Break

Sub up, Swords Dance and sweep (ideally)

Aerodactyl @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Ancient Power
Earthquake
Double Edge
Fire Blast

Choice Bander, not much else to say...

Gyrados @ Leftovers
Hasty Nature : 126 Atk, 68 Def, 68 SpDef, 252 Spd
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Fire Blast
Taunt

I just like the look and background of it...

Misdrevious @
Calm Nature : 252 SpAtk, 126 SpDef, 126 Spd
Pain Split
Calm Mind
Psychic
Shadow Ball

Calm Mind to boost Sp def, Painsplit to regain own/ drain opponents health.

Meh, the whole team needs a lot of help, but thats why i posted it. I would prefer to keep the pokemon listed above, but will take suggestions, i'm just not to fond of some Ubers/ legendaries, just trying to use the ones i like.
Looking to put Zangoose in somewhere.
Most games done with this team will be casual, but some competitive, mainly just for fun.
Thanks for any help.

Taunt>Pursuit on Umbreon imo. Aerodactyl should have Leftovers as it will be your Swords Dance reciever, and Rock Slide>Ancientpower.

Needs more Special prescense, as well as something that can take a Special hit.

Starmie is a great sweeper for link-battles, and a Snorlax might help as it still has a good Attack.

rock slide > ancientpower
aerial ace / hp flying > fire blast

both on aero

and you might want reversal on that scyther to get the most out of endure salac

Personaly i would prefer not to use starmie, i don't really like it much. What would be a good moveset for the Snorlax?

Something like:
Snorlax @ Leftovers
Impish : 156 Def, 156 SpDef, 252 Hp
Curse
Rest
Return
Shadow Ball

So will replace the Gyrados with Snorlax, and use a Scizor instead of Scyther.
Ok, Thanks. Any other tips?

What about Jolteon?

Jolteon @ Petaya Berry
Mild Nature: No idea on Evs, possibly max spatk/spd and maby SpDef...
Thunder Wave
Thunder Bolt
Bite
Substitute

As a sub for perhaps Gyrados instead of Snorlax, Umbreon can take some punishment before going down...

gyarados is still good despite the 4x electric weakness, simple solution is, dont let it get hit by an electric attack. which is easily predictable.

thunderbolt
sub
baton pass
hp ice / hp grass / wish / agility

is pretty much the best jolteon can do

Sure, thanks, not sure whether to keep the Gyrados anymore, or swap it for Jolteon, i'll train both and see what happens. Thanks for the help.
