This should be a lot better than my last team, but it still has a lot of holes in it.

What does this accomplish? Nothing I assume.
You seem to have missed the fact that Salamence's Attack is considerably higher than it's SAtk.
It is good for one singular surprise, but after that it will be walled by anything.

Still walled to hell by any water type under the sun, but more so now.

use Wish / Fire / Grass or Dragon / Protect or Hidden Power [Grass] if you want a special based set that does something.

EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 140 Spd / 20 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

as the Spread.

who uses SDef anymore? People who battle well don't need the SDef anyway.
Take it away and use 252/252.

Double Edge is so much better than return on things especially that lack a physical movepool.
EV's are poor.

EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 Spd
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)

learn the useful speed brackets.

lol!

Starmie needs at least 333 speed if it is timid. And since when was it supposed to run the role as bulky water?

Dear god.
This is just awful.
No Meteor Mash WHY?
HIDDEN POWER FIGHT WHY?
sigh.
Let me give you a good set;

EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SDef

traditional all out sweep team with no regards to any kind of defense.
not thought out very well, and I think it plays like that as well.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

But I got all my EV sets from Smogon.com. I thought that was pretty much the authority for this kind of thing. Or perhaps I just misunderstood.

Would you suggest replacing one of my Pokemon with another? Since it has "no defense"? I assumed Snorlax would be good enough, but as you have reiterated, I'm terrible at competetive battling. Haven't been good at it since the RBY days, but there doesn't appear to be any place online where people who are trying to learn are really welcomed.
