Looks good. Put a Life Orb on so you can get that extra "Oomph" in power.

Dragonite@Yache Berry
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature:Careful
Evs:252-speed , 252-attack
Moves:
-Fire Punch

-----My physical sweeper, he has surprisingly good defense, and can take some moves, and he is shiny., so that is why the nature isn’t very good, but he definitely gets the job done, and with the focus sash he can take out a weavile with the fire punch.

EQ is more effective than Fly. As you're giving the foe a free switch, and EQ has more power backing it. Yache Berry is better than focus sache as things can revenge kill you with the sache, Yache will just Halve Weavile's Ice Punch damage.

Latias@Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: quiet
Evs:252-speed, 252-special attack
Moves:
-Calm Mind
-Surf
-Dragon Pulse
-Recover/Grass Knot
--
Psychic hits few things for Super Effective Damage, the only common one of those things in OU is Fighting. Espeon already uses Psychic anyway, so boost Stats with Calm Mind. Grass Knot is optional as something to hit Waters.

Ninetails@Life Orb
Ability:Flash Fire
Nature:Quiet
EVS:252-speed, 252-special attack
Moves:
-Energy Ball
-Flamethrower/Fire Blast
-Nasty Plot
-Hypnosis
--im tired of the boring old sweeper, so I bred myself this ninetails, he covers most mamoswine, and can take a full powered frenzy plant from a sceptile, he is pretty straight-forward.

NP Ninetales hits hard, but with big power. Just Hypnosis the Foe, and Nasty Plot without fear. Plus you need something on your team to inflict Status.

Weavile@Choice Band
Ability: pressure
Nature:docile
EVs:252-speed, 252-attack
Moves:
-Ice Punch
-Night Slash
-Brick Break
-Pursuit
--I know he has “bad” evs, but I use him, and I like him, the speed is necessary as one of my rivals has an extremely fast one, and I need a faster one, this provides that, as well as a DD dragon killer.

This sort of Weavile is much more Effective with a Choice Band. Pursuit will help you when switching into Gengars and Alakazams. As they will try to switch out, then you hit them with a STAB'd CB'd Pursuit for massive damage.

Jirachi@ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Bashful
EVs:252-special attack, 116- defense, 140-special defense
Moves:
-Flash Cannon
-Cosmic Power
-Psychic
-Thunderbolt/Calm Mind
---not your usual Jirachi, but he gets the job done, and more, being an annoyer and the fact that he can kill them too makes him a real threat, doom desire then two cosmic powers, and they have a problem on their hands, if they counter with fire, a simple water pulse will sweep them away.

*Sigh* Doom Desire is not good. The foe can switch into anything that resists Steel while you use Cosmic Power. I would suggest Iron Head for Serene Grace Flinch Hax, yet your EVs are set in SpA, so, go with Flash Cannon. I'm leaving Cosmic power because the idea intrests me, however, Water Pulse won't do much to OU Fire types as the only ones are Heatran and Inferape. Infernape outspeeds you, and ScarfRan does too. I think Thunderbolt is better for Things like Gyrados, Skarmory, and still hits steels for neutral damage. However the choice is yours.

This is my team, I DON’T plan on changing the pokemon, I just need suggestions for moves, items, etc. please help, and I also don’t want spamming. Thank you for your Help.

Okay Team overall, Changes are in Bold. Most of the natures are troubling. But if you're not switching these pokemon out for new ones...

 

[Captain Noob]

EDIT: Aww nuts, Krug beat me to it while I was posting, meaning I probably conflicted a bit. Sorry.

OK, I'm not the best rater, but I know what I know. Look at everything in bold below. However, some Pokés here automatically bump your team into the OU tier in which most of these Pokés are inferior (e.g. Espeon is worse than Alakazam). If you're certain you don't wanna change for now, I won't suggest any alternatives.

Espeon@ Wise Glasses
Ability:syncronize
Nature:modest
Evs:252-speed, 252-special attack
-Psychic
-Calm Mind
-Shadow ball
-Signal Beam
----my pride and joy, is shiny, and modest natured, usual espeon, I don’t really know a good item for him, that is where I need help on him…..

Seeings as it's shiny and all, I was going to suggest a hidden power but you won't be able to get it without breeding again. Anyway, no grudge with rest of set. For the item, Choice Scarf makes up for speed lack of using Modest, but locks you to one move (rendering Calm Mind useless). It may be best to just use Wise Glasses for a 10% boost.


Dragonite@focus sash OR Yache Berry
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature:Careful
Evs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Moves:
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
-----My physical sweeper, he has surprisingly good defense, and can take some moves, and he is shiny., so that is why the nature isn’t very good, but he definitely gets the job done, and with the focus sash he can take out a weavile with the fire punch.

Not sure here. Your nature takes away speed which is a massive blow to all Dragonite sets, so I found the next best backed up by Smogon. You'll have to rely on the Dragon Dance, see. Also, if the Focus Sash is just for Weavile you may as well just use a Yache Berry instead as you'll probably still survive anyway.


Latias@ Light Clay
Ability: Levitate
Nature: quiet
Evs: 252 HP / 252 Sp.A
Moves:
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Dragon Pulse
-Recover
--I use her to stop strong grass, fire, water, or electric pokemon, as they all have a .5 effectiveness to her, she is great at stopping the starters, or a starmie.

Hmm. Quiet. Again, also hampers speed which Latias nees to be a great sweeper. I know this is Smogony but it's the next best. Rather than putting EVs in speed, put them in Sp.Atk and HP for surviveability. Because you mentioned her resistances, Latias benefits from being a wall with the dual screen combo.

Ninetails@Choice Scarf
Ability:Flash Fire
Nature:Quiet
EVS:252-speed, 252-special attack
Moves:
-Energy Ball
-Flamethrower
-Dark Pulse
-Extrasensory
--im tired of the boring old sweeper, so I bred myself this ninetails, he covers most mamoswine, and can take a full powered frenzy plant from a sceptile, he is pretty straight-forward.

Eh, OK, I speak from experience here. Ninetails NEEDS to be Timid. OK, not needs, but it'll really help. So far, you have sacrificed so much speed. It really is that important. The only best thing I can suggest is using a Choice Scarf to overcome the problem and sweep. Otherwise, it's too slow. I was going to suggest a Focus Sash/Wise Glasses and using Nasty Plot, but it really has to be Timid.

Weavile@ Choice Band/Focus Sash.
Ability: pressure
Nature:docile
EVs:252-speed, 252-attack
Moves:
-Ice Punch/Ice Shard
-Night Slash
-Brick Break
-Aerial Ace
--I know he has “bad” evs, but I use him, and I like him, the speed is necessary as one of my rivals has an extremely fast one, and I need a faster one, this provides that, as well as a DD dragon killer.

"Bad" EVs? They're perfect, just the nature is all wrong. You'll need Jolly to have enough Speed for a standard Weavile. That said, some go Adamant. Anyway, You may want Ice Shard over Ice Punch. Counters the same things, and just edges ahead of priority moves that may KO Weavile (also counters the "DD Dragons" so much easier.). Therefore Focus Sash is widely used, but Choice Band adds a significant power boost.


Jirachi@ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Bashful
EVs:252-special attack, 116- defense, 140-special defense
Moves:
-Thunderbolt
-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-Water Pulse/Grass Knot
---not your usual Jirachi, but he gets the job done, and more, being an annoyer and the fact that he can kill them too makes him a real threat, doom desire then two cosmic powers, and they have a problem on their hands, if they counter with fire, a simple water pulse will sweep them away.

Hmmn. I'm not too knowledgable on Jirachis, but Doom Desire is an automatic no. Bad coverage and turn delays. Also, Calm Mind is Superior to Cosmic Power. Psychic is a given, but water pulse for fires is a little awkward given the lack of OU fire types. Also, about the EVs: I'm not too good on sets like this, but it may need more HP. Best wait till someone else suggests a better one if I can't make one.

This is my team, I DON’T plan on changing the pokemon, I just need suggestions for moves, items, etc. please help, and I also don’t want spamming. Thank you for your Help.

 

[spareux]

I'd just like to point out that Doom Desire can be a fun gimmick to toy with, and it can cause a lot of switches. Doom Desire is also not resisted by any Pokemon ftr, so I do not see how it has "bad coverage".

But yeah either way your original set was pretty bad. Jirachi can fill a lot of roles so I'd suggest looking about and deciding what you think fits it best. Even in sweeping it can do a couple of different things: it can utilize any of the Choice items, it can run Life Orb, or it can Sub + Calm Mind. Cosmic Power is pretty worthless though.

Anyways.

I DON’T plan on changing the pokemon

Kinda against the rules.
Shiny or not Espeon is outclassed, particularly since you seem to want an offensive Jirachi, or at least one that can stick around and attack. You should probably replace it.

This kinda seems like you might want to head on down to in-game team rates tbh, with your referencing "Frenzy Plant Sceptile".

 

[espeon13x]

thank you, these are the rates i need to know, i appreciate the reading of the entire rules...

@captain noob....my latias's nature isnt exact, i thought that might be it, im not really sure, as i cant get my ds right now. but besides that, it outruns level 75 infernapes at level 50, sooooo....., on the weavile, i had one guy complain for hours on its Evs, hence the quotes.

@spareux....someone had a frenzy plant sceptile in a battle online, i was just stating its special defense skills. i like espeon if you didnt notice, and i have from past experiences, that an espeon can OHKO a salamance, yes with psychic, so dont tell me that it is outclassed, and he is my absolute favorite and in the top 15 on total special attack, please dont tell me that he isnt as good as i say he is. and jirachi's cosmic power is very useful, as it weakens alot of attacks, and has saved me in a couple battles.

@krug...i was working on getting a flash cannon tm, thank you for the good rate.

 

[spareux]

The fact you like it doesn't mean it's not outclassed.

I'm not saying it because I'm a nasty person, I'm saying it because theoretically, practically and statistically, it is outclassed by other Psychic types and other Calm Mind-using Pokemon. Saying it can beat Salamenence isn't really a very logical arguement to pose, either.

 

[MajorGambit]

Unfortunately this is competitive here. If you'll stick with pokes with bad natures just because they're shiny or because you like them, we won't be able to help your team much.

Doom desire is a poor competitive move.

The way your Nite is being played, he's so much outclassed by Mence.

Sceptile won't use frenzy plant as this move makes him a set up bait for any sweeper. Ninetails is outclassed by many types and the acc drop from hypnosis makes him almost useless, as he can't afford to miss, frail as he is.


The most useful move on Weavile you're missing: ice shard so he can act as DD pokes revenge killer. Aerial ace has poor coverage

You should go to smogon and take a look at sets, evs, natures and pokes out there.

 

[espeon13x]

im just proving the point that it is strong, against most competitive, and i dont use it just because i like it, i wanna use alot of stuff, in fact i still wanna use a starmie, but i find that jirachi is much more useful, and i believe that espeon is underrated, and i used my old non-eved one and it make a gap in their team, i just believe that is would be best to be in the team, especially since its ivs are ridiculous, x/23/26/28/26/x, it is somewhere around there, and a one in a lifetime kinda thing, so im gonna use him.

and i also have an alakazam with the "perfect" moveset, and he is done and good, he is also jolly, and i could use him as a sub, but i prefer to use espeons.

Comments in BOLD.

 

[espeon13x]

i appreciate the good reviews, and i do have an alakazam, but i prefer espeon, and this team is full of odd things(ninetails isnt that popular in the competitive) but they get the job done well, and fast. thank you again.

i am slightly willing to change things, but i wanted to mostly know what be best for these specific ones, im open for some suggestions just no totally left wing stuff like...go get a modest celebi that is 10 anniv, k? i dont have a giant inventory of super rare stuff im willing to trade

 

[espeon13x]

im now open to letting you guys say totally new things, just know unless if you have a good reason to switch them out, i will have little initiative to switch them, for the ninetails i also have a arcanine, done perfectly, and some other stuff, like an empoleon, a spiritomb, and a forretres(as you can see, my brother likes defensive pokemon), so if you think one of those or any other thing will fit in better say so now.

To be honest, the team wasn't all that bad. It's just the natures may pull the team down a fair bit. Espeon is okay in OU, but is outclassed by Alakazam as a sweeper; most people will use Espeon with Baton Pass and Calm Mind as this is where it is superior.

Dragonite may work as a surprise bulky attacker, but it is slightly outclassed by Salamence.

Oh, Ninetails is far superior than Arcanine. I suggest using the set that Krug suggested, as Hypnosis is fairly useful (free Nasty Plot turn.) However, I highly recommend the nature switch to Timid. I also have a Rapidash that is similar.

Latias and Jirachi will be fine as long as you find the set that suits you. I still think Latias here would be best as a screener due to the nature, and you can use the defense boost on your team. If the nature is different though (even neutral speed) you may want to consider sweeper sets.

I want to avoid suggesting totally different Pokés here though. I really like when people try something "different" rather than six bog-standard Pokés. With the right natures, this team might just work.

 

[Drybones446]

Empoleon, Spiritomb, Forretress and Arcanine seems great for your team.

 

[espeon13x]

for what, and where, the spiritomb has been battle tested, i have the vid of it(and the empoleon and my shiny dragonite) vs the battle arcade tycoon, swept the entire team, and i dont think forretres will work though, it isnt the best.

and the team has fared well against some people, they are quite surprising, the dragonite took a couple of hits, and the jirahci always knocks at least 1 out.

 

[Captain Noob]

I think it helps to assign a role to each Pokémon so you know what you havn't covered. When building a team, I always start like this:

Physical Sweeper:
Special Sweeper:
Physical Wall:
Special Wall:

When applied to your team, you should only really have one of each. I think you could do with a dedicated wall. Anyway, you can see there's only four. Others can be added as the fillers:

Mixed Sweeper:
Mixed Wall:
Cleric:
Staller: etc...

Physical Sweeper: Weavile
Special Sweeper: Espeon
Physical Wall: Gapped.
Special Wall: Jirachi
Mixed Sweeper: Dragonite (may work to some effect). Salamence would work.
Mixed Wall: Latias, high natural Sp.Def and can Reflect to boost defense


So...going through this may help to assign movesets and to see what you need. As you can see, a physical wall is needed, but maybe this is something you can try and work towards.

Spiritomb is a good wall, Empoleon is a good late-game sweeper, Arcanine is a balanced sweeper, Forretress is a good Physical wall.

I personally do not like this - I find it is much easier to simply choose a core offensive Pokemon and build the team to suit it: simply assigning roles to random Pokemon can often lead to critical flaws in teams.

 

[espeon13x]

k, so instead of ninetails, i should use spiritomb? or maybe my brothers umbreon....hmmm, which would be best, the umbreon knows......wish, baton pass, mean look, ans screech, it is used to mean look, then screech, then baton pass to a extremespeed arcanine.

and i build teams around my special attackers, jirachi was added late for a starmie, just because it was amazing and powerful, and it proved its worth. and it is a great staller at the samw time, i dont know how he does it...hahaha, spiritomb sounds like my best choice, and it swept the battle arcade tycoon, without taking damage. i have the vid.

 

[espeon13x]

some one answer that please.....spiritomb for ninetails? or the umbreon?

 

[shiny bagon]

Um you said you have a jolly alakazam that is fully trained one problem... the nature you want is TIMID

Timid(+Speed,-Attack
Jolly(+Speed,-Spa)

Also I think you should replace ninetails with a Physical wall because you have a slight fighting problem (Weavile and Jirachi) and also you are Weavile weak Weavile beats Jirachi,Latias,Dragonite,Espeon,and Weavile also a Dragon can cause much damage to your team. Also I strongly suggest a rapid spinner because 3 of your pokemon are Stealth Rock weak also I see Scizor giving you some trouble.
