I need some help with a couple of pokes on my team, both movesets and give me evs if you can. Thanks.

Houndoom@
Timid Nature (+spd, -atk)
Ability: Flash Fire?
-Sunny Day
-Solarbeam
-Flamethrower
-Dark Pulse

or

Houndoom@
Timid/Modest Nature (+spd/+satk, -atk)
Flash Fire
-Flamethrower/ overheat
-Dark Pulse
-Nasty Plot
-taunt/ Sludge Bomb? (doesn't seem to useful since flamethrowers there, but there aren't many options)

I could also do a choiceband/ specs or adherence scarf set possibly.
Houndoom@ CB or adherence scarf
Adamant/Jolly Nature (+atk/+spd, -satk)
Flash Fire
-Fire Fang/ Overheat
-Crunch
-Thunder Fang
-Iron Tail/ Persuit (prob persuit)

lots of options with houndoom, but using his satk stat seems best...

Next is Tyranitar

Tyranitar@ CB
Jolly Nature (+spd, -satk)
-EQ
-Stone Edge
-Fire/thunder Fang/aerial ace(for heracross)
-Crunch/ persuit

Tyranitar@
Jolly/adamant nature
-Dragon Dance
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-EQ

I need a moveset for Tyranitar that goes best with the rest of my team: Houndoom, Mismagius, Spiritomb, Weavile, Drapion

if you need movesets for those I can provide them. Also I need EVs for these two. Thanks ahead of time.

EDIT: please don't post unless you ACTUALLY know what you're talking about. Don't just post to raise your post count cuz I need real help, not NOOB help, or else I wouldn't be asking for someone to RMT.

Oh, didn't see that, sorry. Life Orb works on both Sp.Atk and Atk. 30% increase (multiply stat by 1.3)

So I'm seeing that I should go with

Houndoom@life orb (it works with satk, too, right?)
Timid Nature
252 SAtk/ 216 spd/ 40 HP
-Flamethrower
-Dark Pulse
-Nasty Plot
-HP(ice or grass)/ taunt (cuz Idk if I could figure HP out)

and

Tyranitar@ lefties
Jolly nature
252 spd/ 252 Atk/ 4 HP (I'm guessing, is this good?)
-Dragon Dance
-Crunch
-Stone Edge
-EQ

maximum speed to get rid of heracross and the dragons. Does this look good? I still need EVs for Drapion and Spiritomb.

Drapion is 252 attack and maybe 252 speed i guess, spiritomb i have no clue, well at least i tried lol i never used those 2 pokes

Idk if speed is priority on Drapion or not... and Spiritomb I'd guess 252 HP, and maybe 252 sDef, but I really dunno, I need help. Also could someone make sure that those sets for Tyranitar and Houndoom are the best for my team as a whole.
 

lilbigman42012

well spiritomb is gonna be offensive correct? then 252 on sp.attak, i dunno bout speed cuz not many moves would 1K0 it. Speed on drapion? maybe u can put like 150 on it nd put the rest on HP or Sp.Def or reg Def

what r u talking about? Because of its typing and high defenses it is definatly defensive. Study up on these rather than assuming. Can someone with knowledge about EVs please help me?

For Tyranitar maybe this:

Tyranitar@Leftovers
Admant
-Dragon Dance
-Rock Slide/Crunch
-Earthquake/Stone Edge
-Aerial ace

Aerial ace fixes it's problem to a 4x weakness on fighting types and easily kills anoying grass types such as Sceptile and KO's breloom and heracross with ease. Keep giving it speed Iv's until it's speed reaches to 201 then max attack if you would like and the rest into hp an defence or just hp.

Stone Edge and Earthquake is always a bit redundant on the same pokemon. You definitely want Aerial Ace for those nasty 4x Fighting Types, and it helps for the Grass types as well. Crunch or Pursuit is also debatable, depending on how well you can predict. So, we have :
Tyranitar
Stone Edge / Rock Slide (If you find Stone Edge's accuracy too unreliable)
Aerial Ace
Crunch/Pursuit
Dragon Dance

Ahoy, scurvies!
Spiritomb@Leftovers
Impish Nature
(Pressure)
-Sucker Punch
-Taunt
-Will-O-Wisp
-Pain Split
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 S. Def.

Physical wall and anti-annoyer.

Spiritomb@Leftovers
Modest nature
(Pressure)
-Calm Mind/Nasty Plot
-Dark Pulse
-Psychic
-Hypnosis/Pain Split
EVs: 252 HP, 252 S. Atk, 4 Def.

Bulky special attacker, Calm mind and a more defensive EV spread/nature is possible for more bulk, but Nasty Plot gives it alot of offensive power.
