Need help badly

Please see my new post at the bottom first.




I think I'm about to go insane...

So I tried making my first team. I read various tips on these forums a bit too late, and replaced a few Pokemon to make it better. I read some more, and continued replacing Pokemon. Now it seems my team is still not good, and I can't decide what to do next. I'm learning solely from these forums and the Wi-Fi Battle Tower. Here's what I've got so far. I've quite inexperienced at making teams, so please forgive my noobiness.

Salamence
Modest
  1. Dragon Pulse
  2. Draco Meteor
  3. Flamethrower
  4. Move Undecided (currently Aerial Ace)

Gengar (planned)
  1. Hypnosis
  2. Dream Eater
  3. Shadow Ball
  4. Focus Blast

Lucario
Adamant
  1. Aura Sphere
  2. ExtremeSpeed (would be bullet punch, but don't feel like breeding)
  3. Close Combat
  4. Swords Dance

Garchomp (in training)
Lonely

  1. [*]Earthquake
    [*]Fire Fang
    [*]Stone Edge
    [*]Swords Dance

Metagross
Calm
  1. Earthquake
  2. Meteor Mash
  3. Bullet Punch
  4. Zen Headbutt

Forretress

  1. Spikes
  2. Stealth Rock
  3. Rapid Spin
  4. Explosion

I know they don't match worth a crap, but like I said, trying to factor in everything is overloading my brain.

So please, those with vast knowledge, what should I do with these guys? I have a Milotic, Jolteon, Dragonite, etc. in my boxes if needed.

There. I've made a few changes in my plans in bold italics. I've posted their natures, which, I know are not perfect, but I really don't have time to spend all day breeding until I get the perfect nature (but over the summer...). I'm not trying to be the absolute best who can beat everyone, I just want a decent team. Oh, and I still haven't decided who's going to hold what.

Salamence

Hydro Pump / HP [Ground]. That's standard specsmence.

Gengar (planned)
  1. Hypnosis
  2. Dream Eater
  3. Shadow Ball
  4. Focus Blast

Thunderbolt > Dream Eater. No one will leave in their sleeping poke. Timid.

Lucario
Adamant
  1. Aura Sphere
  2. ExtremeSpeed (would be bullet punch, but don't feel like breeding)
  3. Close Combat
  4. Swords Dance

Crunch / Stone Edge over Aura Sphere.

Garchomp (in training)
Lonely

  1. [*]Earthquake
    [*]Fire Fang
    [*]Stone Edge
    [*]Swords Dance

Jolly.

Metagross
Calm
  1. Earthquake
  2. Meteor Mash
  3. Bullet Punch
  4. Zen Headbutt

Oh no. Adamant@Choice Band. Pursuit in the last slot

Forretress

  1. Spikes
  2. Stealth Rock
  3. Rapid Spin
  4. Explosion

These are rather standard. Forretress as your only wall won't do, especially without wish support.
 
Need EV spreads and items. What's the point of seeing the moves if we don't know the items that go with them? We need to know what's Choiced and such.
 
You know, I'm thinking that with people reccomending different natures and breed-only moves, as well as EV spreads, I might just breed all new of my team until I get the moves/natures/genders I want and start over and do it right this time. Would that be worth it? And, before I do it, should I replace any of my teams Pokemon?
 
^You should make the team and posted here first so you don't waste your effort.

Wrong thread.

@Threadstarter If you just want a team Smogon sets would do you well, if you want synergy and something that is formiddable then thats a whole other story and something the raters are here for.

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon <<<---go here for sets.

Right now I notice you would benefit from some Special Walling, since Meta and Forrey hate Flamethrowers to the face not to mention the other Sp. Orientated weaks.

Blissey would work well, sure, OU but she works.
If your against her then use Cresselia, Regice or Snorlax whom are all great Sp.Walls in their own right.

^___^

Right now most of your sets are standard, which is fine, but getting your monsters to work well together is what its about. You would benefit from Wish Support (Jirachi, Gardevoir, Togekiss, Vaporeon) to help your more Fragile pokes (such as Salamence, Lucario and Gengar), and Aromathreapy support because Will-O-Wisp cripples four/six pokes and Thunder Wave eradicates Salamence and Gengar - if you don't want Aroma support, ResTalk somewhere would work nicely too :)
