Incomplete Diamond Team

hello? anyone here?
i know the above post was off-topic, but im trying to review what might be of use to me.
i might consider posting this team on the competitive forum, but i doubt it. i dont think it would last a day in that forum.
anyways, any other help on this team? like, say i allowed you to choose one pokemon to replace with a Physical, Special, or Mixed Wall pokemon that could be used competitively. any ideas? and what pokemon to replace?
 
Dusknoir- you could replace crobat for that
w/ leftovers
-W-o-W
-EarthQuake
-Shadow Sneak/ Shadow Punch
-ThuderPunch
That spell's West

Oh Yeah your Team is highly vulnerable to the Rock/ground combo, if you wanna use it competitively

For blaziken i think you should keep shadow ball because it is a special atack.Give lucairo choice specs.Keep electrive not luxray.Give crobat a choice band and teach a physical move in the 4th slot

okay... thanks for responding!

yeah, i was kinda leaning toward Electivire anyways.

Dusknoir or Crobat? Crobat is a BL Pokemon, but so is Blaziken (woulda been OU if Infernape hadn't come along... darnit they completely ruined the uniqueness of that type-combo!). Dusknoir has higher stats, true, but it is also used more often and more teams will have counters for it...

should I replace Nasty Plot with Brave Bird or something? for Crobat. Nah, because it already has a Flying-type move.

YES!!! Keeping Shadow Ball. Blaziken has both good Atk and Sp. Atk stats (both of which are better than Infernape's), and I didn't see what Stone Edge could hit that ThunderPunch couldn't (well, yes, Fire-types, but I can take care of them with Empoleon's Surf/Earthquake or Electivire's Earthquake).

Shadow Ball, with Adamant Nature? Go with Shadow Claw instead :)

For Crobat, go with U-Turn. With Modest Nature, U-Turn to get out becomes better than using a physical attack like Return.

^^; typed it in wrong, thanks!

and thanks for the Return/ U-Turn advice. Return was just a possibility.

...I'm beginning to think that I might be better off with Electivire in some other team. There might be a better Pokemon to use in his place, like, say some sort of tank like Snorlax?

I've had people ask me this, and the reason I'm not EDITing my 1st post is because I think it would make the people who've helped me with this look like idiots for correcting mistakes that don't exist, hence the EDITing thing. But yes, I do know how to use the EDIT button. Just go to the last page to see the most recent post; I'll just put that at the top of my 1st post instead.
