I revamped my team quite a bit, so I thought I might as well get it rated, now, to start things off, I cannot get egg moves or HP's, which sucks, so please don't recommend them.

Your team will not take hits well.

The maximum amount of EVs you can put into a single stat is 255, not 256. However, 255 is not divisible by 4, so the closest number is 252.

Egg moves: Learn to breed.

Hidden Power: Learn how it works first before you say anything.

Edit: Good luck getting the berries...

I never said that I didn't know how to breed or get the HP's. What I meant by that was it would take WAY too long to get the egg moves as well as the perfected IV's.

Anyways, I'm thinking of replacing Gengar (maybe) for a Dusclops tank.

Dusclops @Leftovers

I think I may go with...

Dusclops is meant to be a tank, not a sweeper.

That doesn't mean he can't have a good attack to go along with Substitute.

Grudge to help out the rest of the team. Memento as a suicide when running low on HP.

WoW isn't THAT inaccurate. People use Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, stuff like that.

WoW is a really handy move.

is Superbad
And unlike other status moves, it lowers the opponents attack and inflicts a burn that slowly takes away HP.

Sure! Why not take off Starmie's Recover for Psychic? It's the cool thing to do!

BoltBeam and Psychic are redundant.
