Rate My Team

Been working on this for a long time, first time I bothered to EV train my Pokemon. This is my multipurpose team, it handles my friends for-fun teams with some legendary Pokemon and competitive PBR online teams.

Garchomp @ Focus Sash/Choice Scarf/Life Orb/Expert Belt
Adamant Nature
Sand Veil
252 Attack/252 Speed/4 HP
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Brick Break
Fire Fang/Stone Edge
Dragon Claw and Earthquake for STAB, Brick Break for myriad threats, and can't decide between Fire Fang and Stone Edge as both have good uses. Brick Break could be replaced by either one if need be. Item depends on who I'm fighting.

Tyranitar @ Life Orb/Expert Belt
Sandstream
Adamant Nature
252 Attack/252 Speed/4 HP
Crunch
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Ice Fang
Tyranitar syncs with Garchomp really well, providing an automatic Sandstorm to boost its evasion. Crunch and Stone Edge get STAB, Earthquake has amazing type coverage, and Ice Fang works well with Expert Belt to hit a lot of Pokemon, especially Garchomp, for serious damage.

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Speed Boost
Adamant Nature
252 Attack/128 Speed/128 HP
X-Scissor
Substitute
Swords Dance
Baton Pass
Baton-Passing Ninjask, always fun and can counter the fast and deadly Weavile and Alakazam with its X-Scissor. The speed boost benefits most of the Pokemon on this team and the attack boost helps Tyranitar and Garchomp to do some serious sweeping. X-Scissor could be switched for Ariel Ace but I think X-Scissor is more versatile.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Natural Cure
Impish Nature
252 Defense/252 HP/4 Special Defense
Seismic Toss
Aromatherapy
Softboiled
Thunder Wave
One of my all-time favorite Pokemon and the bane of my friends' teams. Seismic Toss kills almost everything in four or less moves, and the other moves offer support. I have to be wary of a few physical fighters (Heracross and Machamp) but they're hit pretty hard by the rest of my team and suffer with Thunder Wave.

Porygon-Z @ Choice Specs/Expert Belt
Download
Modest Nature
252 Special Attack/252 Speed/4 HP
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Tri Attack
Signal Beam/Psychic/Shadow Ball
Porygon-Z has Alakazam's Special Attack, plus a lot more in the defense department. Ice Beam and Thunderbolt is a good combination because it hits a lot of Pokemon hard, Tri Attack is STAB'd and resisted by only two types. Psychic hits fighting types, which three of my Pokemon are weak to, Signal Beam hits psychic types, as does Shadow Ball.

Togekiss @ Choice Scarf/Expert Belt
Serene Grace
Modest Nature
252 Special Attack/252 Speed/4 HP
Air Slash
Aura Sphere
Flamethrower/Shadow Ball/Psychic/Water Pulse/Silver Wind/Ancientpower/Magical Leaf
Togekiss has one of the best movepools of the Pokemon I would use, so the last two moves would be picked from that list. Air Slash gets STAB and has a 60% flinch rate with Serene Grace. Aura Sphere is powerful and never misses. However, both could be replaced in favor of other moves.

I like the way this team is set up but I will gladly take suggestions and ideas for improvements.

Why silver wind he had better attack and silver wind is special. But if you want to switch out scissor replace it with aerial ace but scissor is best.

Will you please stop suggesting silver wind on ninjask? You seem to always forget that silver wind is now special, and silver wind off of 116 special attack at level 100 isn't very scary. X-scissor is much stronger, and it's physical, and ninjask needs to have an attacking move.

Back to the team, garchomp NEEDS to be jolly unless it's a scarfer. If you have it adamant, you are getting outsped by all pokemon down to base 90's with a +speed nature. Jolly will let you outspeed them. Major threats that you are faster than by using jolly but not with adamant include modest raikou/starmie, timid porygon-Z, and hasty electivire, among others.

Tyranitar is mostly hurting the team, take him off. I posted a thread a while back explaining why you shouldn't use tyranitar in a team like this. Go read it.

You should consider bold and ice beam on blissey for specsmence.

Dark pulse for the last slot on PZ. It hits the same things SE as shadow ball, but it doesn't get walled by normals if you're using a choice item.

The last two moves on togekiss should be thunder wave and either roost or wish. Thunder wave will let you flinch pokemon because they will be slower than you, as togekiss is no crobat when it comes to speed, and roost will let you recover. Softboiled is an option over roost, but roost can help if you can predict an attack that would be SE on flying when you need to recover. Take most of the EV's out of speed, and put them into HP instead so you live longer. You don't need much of the speed anyway as you're paralyzing pokemon.

Since like aqua said, take out tyranitar because it doesn't help your team. I suggest putting a physcial wall over it like skarmory or gliscor or donphan. Probley donphan because he spins out spikes and stealth rock. Plus he can set them up. Along with ice shard and earthquake for coverage, he is a soild wall.
