How Good Is My Team...

~Shadow Espeon~

I did it!!
This is for a Double Battle Against my friend thats coming up(he's really good so I want to be prepared)...

Blastoise: Sitrus Berry
Toxic
Earthquake
Ice Beam
Surf

Swellow: Choice Band
Facade
Aerial Ace
Focus Energy
Steel Wing

My plan for the first two is that Swellow starts using Facade on a poke and Blastoise poisons it making a seriously strong facade attack(its power+STAB+Choice Band+Swellows Ability+Facades Effect makes a seriously powerfull facade). While Swellow sweeps Blastoise takes out any Defense heavy pokemon with Ice beam/Surf. All the rest of Swellows moves are fillers...

Kyogre: Chesto Berry
Surf
Thunder
Calm Mind
Ice Beam
(Im going to give it Rest over something. Should I???)

Umbreon: Leftovers
Moonlight
Confuse Ray
Toxic
Protect/Dig

For this Pair Kyogre Calm Minds while Umbreon Poisons and Confuses. Then Kyogre sweeps while Umbreon stalls...

Slaking: Kings Rock???
Slack Off/Bulk Up
Slash
Brick Break
Aerial Ace

Blissey: Leftovers(any other ideas because the deal is we can only use one of each item and Umbreon has a Leftovers)
Skill Swap
Calm Mind
Psychic
Blizzard/Ice Beam/Water Pulse

Slaking begins sweeping or Bulks up first and then sweeps while Blissey steals its Ability with Skill Swap and then passes it on to any good pokemon on the oppositions team. Then it Calm Minds its Specials Sky High and Sweeps as Well...

What do you think peoples???
 

~Shadow Espeon~

I did it!!
Ive already got natures I like but here they are anyway

Blastoise:Calm
Swellow:Adament
Blissey:Impish
Slaking:Jolly
Kyogre:Modest
Umbreon:Bold

Softboiled

Heal Bell/Aromatherapy
Thunder Wave

What do you think peoples???
Changes in Bold. Not a Bad team Blissey is best used to Special Wall and Seismic toss to death.
 

~Shadow Espeon~

I did it!!
I am going to keep Skill Swap on Blissey because I need to let Slaking attack every turn but besides that thanks a lot for the changes...

Does your friend have a dugtrio? If he does, and he is as good as u say he is, teach Blissey Ice Beam. Why? Becuz(if he's smart)he will predict when Blissey will come, Arena Trap with a Dugtrio@Choice Band, then he will 2HKO u with Dugtrio's EarthQuake. but if u teach ur Blissey Ice Beam and give it some Sp.Atk EVs, then u should be able kill it. Give Blissey 252 Def EVs. Split the rest among HP, SDef and SAtk. Blissey doesn't need 252 HP, so don't give it max HP. U can also give it some speed EVs, but i don't do it...
As for go with UnforgivingSuicide's moveset, but with a Bold nature, just use Ice Beam if u know that he is gonna use Duggy. If he is not, stick with Thunderwave. And Blissey NEEDS Lefties, so yeah, get rid of Umby with Lefties.

Make SLaking like this:

Slaking@Choice Band
Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Return
Focus Punch
Shadow Ball
Earthquake

Blastoise has a -attack nature so no Earthquake Blastoise like this:
Blastoise@Sitrus Berry or Lansat?
Calm(or Bold if u can get it)
EVs: 252 HP, 126 Def, 126 SDef, 6 SAtk
Ice Beam
Surf
Rapid Spin
Rest
Don't use Toxic on Swellow becuz your friend is good and he will just bring out a physical wall against it

Make Swellow like this:
Swellow@White Herb(you'll see why)
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Adamant/Jolly(Jolly recommended)
Aerial Ace
Return(reason not for Facade explained above)
Quick Attack
Steel Wing
U CAN use the Toxic/Facade combo, but I wouldn't use it. Swellow's HP and Defenses are too low for it. After u Baton Pass the Curses from Umbreon to Swellow, u could do the Toxic/Facade combo, but it would take too much planning and timing


Kyogre@Petaya/Salac
Modest
EVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Speed, 6 HP or SDef
Surf
Ice Beam
Thunder
Calm Mind

Make Umbreon like this:
Umbreon@Apicot
Bold
EVs:252 HP, 98 Def, 76 SDef, 84 Spd
Curse
Taunt
Moonlight
Baton Pass

Curse on until u have max Defense and Attack. Then Baton Pass to Swellow. Swellow will not lose its Speed, thanks to White Herb(that is why i told Swellow to hold it), but it will have Max Attack and Def. Use Taunt if he tries to pseudo-haze u with Roar or Whirlind, and shrug off and damage with Moonlight. Once his health gets low, Apicot activates. To sum it all up, u Curse until u have Max Attack and Defense, wait until your health gets semi-low for Apicot to activate, heal yourself, Taunt any sort of haze or pseudo-haze, and Baton Pass to Swellow. Swellow gets the boosted Defense, Attack, and Sp.Def, AND he loses the Speed loss, thanks to the White Herb! So u may want a Jolly Swellow, since he already will have an attack boost. Then from their, u just sweep. Or u can do the Toxic/Facade Combo and make his Attack even higher, but that isn't necessary

I really like your team. It is not bad at all.

I forgot to say this, but u could put a Hax Item(Brightpowder, Scope Lens, etc.) on Blastoise...

Yes Blissey NEEDS max HP.

No, it doesn't. What would the Max HP be for? It already has base 255 HP, the highest Base Stat in the game. But it should get a lot of HP EVs...

Oh yeah, it does need max HP to survive a Max Attack Dugtrio EQ... but still, don't give it max... give it enough HP EVs to get around 650-680.

And also, u need a counter to fighting types.

Im not good at making teams so I use the site sometimes for strategies...

Thanks for all the help! I think Im good right now but if you have any comments please post...
 
Playing defensively in 2vs2 sucks for the record. Blissey and Umbreon will just get double-teamed.
 
Physical hits? lol.

See? Blissey doesn't need max HP at all. U should put those other EVs into SAtk or SDef, depending on which moveset u plan to use

Edit:and I didn't read where it was gonna be a double battle, the team i suggested is for single battle
