My Ruby Team

[Dragon_Reborn]

Hello,this is my first team that I have ever made in the R/S/E era.This team will be used to battle my friend's with.Feel free to suggest pokemon to use or replace.

Swampert
Ability:Torrent
Nature:Relaxed(+Defense -Speed)
~Earthquake
~Curse
~Ice Beam
~Surf
My tank pokemon that can resist electric attack and to resist abilities like Sand Stream.Basically here all I do is Curse up and attack away with Earthquake.Ice Beam is a surprise attack against Salamence and Flygon.Surf is to take out Tyranitar,Claydol,and Dugtrio.

Skarmory
Ability:Keen Eye
Nature:Impish(+Defense -Special Attack)
~Drill Peck
~Spikes
~Rest
~Roar
My amazing physical wall/spiker pokemon.Pretty simple here as first lay spikes down and attack away while you wall things.Rest whenever low on HP and Roar against Cursers.

Blissey
Ability:Natural Cure
Nature:Bold(+Defense -Attack)
~Seismic Toss
~Thunder Wave
~Softboiled
~Aromatherapy
My amazing special wall pokemon.Pretty simple here too as you Thunder Wave them first to cause instant paralyze.Pretty much attack/wall away with Seismic Toss.Use Softboil whenever Im low on HP and Aromatherpy when infected with status moves.

Zapdos
Abilityressure
Nature:Timid(+Speed -Attack) (not bad from getting this from my friend)
~Thunderbolt
~Hidden Power[Ice?Fire?]
~Rest
~Sleep Talk
Pretty much my staller pokemon.Basically attack away and use Rest Talk when low on HP and repeat.

Salamence
Ability:Intimidate
Nature:Adament(+Attack -Special Attack)
~Aerial Ace
~Dragon Dance
~Rock Slide
~Earthquake
My physical sweeper pokemon.Pretty basic stratagy here to Dragon Dance up and sweep away.

Gengar
Ability:Levitate
Nature:Timid(+Speed -Attack)
~Thunderbolt
~Will-o-Wisp(only bad thing is Guts users)
~Ice Punch
~Destiny Bond
One of the special sweepers I was thinking of using.Basically Will-o-Wisp the opposing pokemon to drain HP and attack away with Thunderbolt/Ice Punch.Destiny Bond is basically a sacrifice move for those pokemon that are hard to take out such as Milotic,Blissey,Snorlax,etc.

or

Alakazam
Ability:Syncronize
Nature:Timid(+Speed -Attack)
~Psychic
~Calm Mind
~Fire Punch
~Ice Punch? Thunderpunch? Recover?
The other special sweeper I was thinking about.Pretty simple stratagy to Calm Mind up and sweep away.Fire Punch makes a great counter against Heracross.

What do you think of my team?Do you think I should use Gengar or Alakazam?Any pokemon need changed?

Personally I really enjoy more to play with Gengar because of his Ghost type...
Well i think it is a Brutal team... I just don't like Zapdos sorry x) Your strategy with Zapdos is really cool but i think it's more the fact that Zapdos is a Legendary Pokemon... I Rather like to use the normal ones not the Legendary's!
But the people that fight with you have big problems to beat you =)
