I have three Pokemon that might need work. I want to see what you think.

They're underleveled so they don't have access to all their moves yet, but this is what I have for them now:

Gallade: Level 35 (Impish) w/No Held Item
HP: 106, ATK: 96, DEF: 63, SP. ATK: 55, SP. DEF: 91, SPD: 68
Slash
Psycho Cut
Swords Dance
Leaf Blade

Probopass (Nosestache): Level 44 (Hardy) w/No Held Item
HP: 177, ATK: 65, DEF: 146, SP. ATK: 81, SP. DEF: 151, SPD: 60
Tackle
Thunder Wave
Rock Slide
Sandstorm

Dusknoir: Level 55 (Serious) w/No Held Item
HP: 134, ATK: 117, DEF: 163, SP. ATK: 83, SP DEF: 163, SPD: 68
Will-O-Wisp
Shadow Punch
Mean Look
Payback


Any assistance would be appreciated.

EDIT: Sorry if this seems a bit....cluttered....

On Gallade you should max out his atk. and sp. def.
And it shouldn't be Impish. That raises defense and lowers sp. atk.
But if you wanted it as a wall that would be fine.
Though you have Probopass and Dusknoir for that.

Probopass is basically a wall so you should max out his def. and sp. def.
Hardy isn't a good nature for Probopass at all.
(Bold, Relaxed, Impish) Are good for raising defense and it doesn't lower your special defense.
(Calm, Sassy, Careful) Would be good too. They raise your sp. def. and don't lower your defense.

Unless you want to use Probopass in a different way to change things up, but I don't think that wasting a wall would be a good idea. It's up to you.

Dusknoir needs pain split. So you might have to chain breed to get that.

you need better natures. Give Gallade adamant(+atk,-sp. atk). Give Probopass a calm nature (+sp. def,-atk), and give Dusknior an impish(+def,-sp.def)

I would strongly recommened in distributing the EVs in a max of two to three stats. Otherwise all is well.

Unless there's a way I can change natures, I'd rather stick with what I have since I don't want to waste hours getting something new.

Gallade's more of a Physical than he is Special, which is why Slash, Swords Dance, and Leaf Blade are on there

Probopass is basically a wall so you should max out his def. and sp. def.

I'm well aware of that. I've been feeding him whatever raises his Def. power. Perhaps Iron Defense should be one of his attacks?

Hardy isn't a good nature for Probopass at all.

Hardy doesn't affect much, but I'm trying to find alternates around that.

I've been thinking about Pain Split for a while and I might look into that. Otherwise, any other suggestion in regards to attacks?

I want to keep my team as is since I don't know if it's possible to change natures, but I'm looking for attacks to work around that. (and I want Probopass's Defense to be upped, rather than Sp. Def.)

Anything else. Especially on Attacks.

I was thinking of giving Gallade Close Combat in place of Slash and Probopass Discharge in place of Tackle. Any other suggestions?

Uhh....this is RMT, isn't it? Why should I post planned sets when it's my Team right now that needs working? 0_0

No there's no way of changing natures. You'd have to start all over. Or hack it, which is bad. Don't do that. Umm have you reached Battle Tower yet?

It's so we can tell you what you should and should not be doing. I'snt it better to get it right the first time than having to go back and fix your mistakes? Especially when you are EV training, and by the way, you dont post your pokemon's stats, you post how much EVs you are giving them in that stat.

If you want to go through all the trouble of finishing your team only to find out it's crap and have to re-do it, go ahead, be my guest, if you want to get it right the first time, then post the finalised sets. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what a moveset will look like in a couple of levels.

Which is why I want suggestions on what moves should be used to work those errors around. I want to know if this team needs working and if it does, what Moves should I use to work that around.

and I'd rather not change my teams Natures since I DO NOT want to waste my time looking for a replacement.

All I want is suggestions for moves and stat uppings that I could look into just incase my team could be screwed. It's not that hard to understand... >_>

No one experienced in this wants to rate your team when you have clearly put no thought into building them. Posting crappy sets that arent even your finalised sets and asking them to be changed is practically asking "Make my team for me! Here's the Pokemon I want!"
