First Shot at Competitive Battling. (Yes, there is Effort in this)
Here's a team I made a while ago. Any suggestions or criticism would be appreciated.
Gliscor
Item:Salac Berry
Nature:Impish
EV's: Maxed out Attack and Speed
-Aerial Ace
-Sword dance
-Earthquake
-Baton Pass
Yep, this guy is a Heracross counter, a physical sweeper, and a swordspasser. He'd probably pass to Garchomp so that he'll become even tougher.
Lucario
Item:Wise glasses?
Nature: Docile
EV's: Special attack is roughly 220 and Speed is roughly 190. The rest are unknown
-Aura Sphere
-Flash Cannon
-Calm Mind
-Dragon Pulse
I was planning on having this one use Reversal and such, but I just went with special sweeper instead. Dragon Pulse is for when he goes against Flying/Fire, Flying/Water, or something else that Aura Sphere and Flash Cannon don't work against.
Garchomp
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 in Attack, 252 in speed
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Swords Dance
-Fire Fang
This is what I'd be sword passing to, obviously a Physical Sweaper.
Vaporeon
Item:Leftovers
Nature:Calm
EV's: HP 252, 128 Def, 128 Sp. Def
-Aqua Ring
-Acid Armor
-Baton Pass
-Surf
Obviously a passer, and a bulky water. I'd pass the Aqua ring and Acid Armor to someone like Houndoom or Blissey who need it.
Houndoom
Item: Petaya Berry
Nature:Modest
EV's: Mostly Sp. Atk and speed.
-Flamethrower
-Dark Pulse
-Substitute
-HP Grass
This guy's a special sweeper, obviously. I might pass Acid Armor to him in case I run into something like Heracross or someone like him.
Blissey
Item:Leftovers
Nature: Should be bold
Ev's: *not EV trained*
-Ice beam
-Thunderbolt
-Calm mind
-Softboiled
This is a Special Wall and she's likely to be aided by Vaporeon so that she won't get killed by a Physical volley. Standard CMbliss moveset. She's not actually EV trained, so I might switch her for Manaphy.
Manaphy
Item: Damp Rock
Nature: Lonely
EV's: 252 HP, 108 Sp Att, 148 Sp Def
-Surf
-Raindance
-Rest
-Grass Knot
Lonely is a bad nature, but it's because of it that I can get it. It was a friend's, but he wants to try for a better nature. Anyway, this guy would be a special wall with some help from Acid Armor to help with his lowered Def. The Raindance + Rest is like a Full Restore which will be improved with the damp rock.
