Alright this is my first thread on Serebii and my first team. I havent tried it out yet because im not really familiar with the online metagames. So any suggestions/pokemon replacements/Ev changes/ would be a big help as well as telling me my weaknesses.

Breloom: Grass/Fighting
Ability: Poison Heal
Item: Toxic orb
Nature: adamant
EVs: 48hp/252atk/208spe
Moves:
-Spore
-stun spore
-drain punch
-seed bomb

This guy really does his job. I just spore them asleep and then either attack or switch to a counter. Drain punch is STAB and heals me. Seed bomb is the other STAB and stun spore for extra status.

Slaking: Normal
Ability: Truant
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature: adamant
EVs: 252atk/252hp/4spe
Moves:
-earthquake
-ice punch
-thunder punch
-aerial ace

This guys a real powerhouse. He hits really hard and fast. The let down is his ability truant. Eathquake is OHKO against most and ice punch is 2HKO for most dragons and thunder punch destroys gyarados. Aerial ace is for fighting types like lucario.

Honchcrow: Dark/flying
Ability: Insomia
Item: Life orb
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 4hp/252atk/252spe
Moves:
-Sucker punch
-Super power
-Drill peck
-Night Slash

I copied this set off smogon and i love the power it brings. But he dies fast so any suggestions or replacements would be great.

Gengar: Ghost/poison
Ability: Levitate
Item: Expert Belt
Nature: Modest
EVs:252SpA/252Spe/4def
Moves:
-Thunderbolt
-shadow ball
-explosion
-fire punch

copied off smogon but i changed somethingbut im not sure for the better. U see i didnt have anyone to use fire moves so i got a steel weakness.
Except that Gengar is SpA and fire punch is physical. is this a bad idea?

Espeon: Psychic
Ability: Synchronize
Item:?
Nature:Modest
EVs:252SpA/252spe/4hp
Moves:
-Calm mind
-Wish
-Baton Pass
-Psychic

Another good special sweeper but an even better baton passer. I can either heal myself or my team with wish and i can boost Gengar or Espeon with calm mind. I dont know wat to do for an item though?

Porygon 2: Normal
Ability: Trace
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Bold
EVs:252hp/216Def/40spA
Moves:
-Tri attack
-ice beam
-recover
-toxic

one of the greatest mixed walls. and since its got recover even better.Ice beam kills dragons and Tri attack for stab and toxic for status.

So any suggestions or critizim would be appreciated?
 
Replace stun spore with something like swords dance.

Gengar needs focus blast which deals super effective damage to steel types.
 
Replace explosion on Gengar for shadow ball or energy ball( swampert counter)

Stun Spore is too unreliable, and drain punch does too little damage for it to be worthy

Slacking is not this powerhouse on this generation. So many pokes can kill it and set up with the free turn it gives staying or switching out.

Porygon2 is walled by almost any steel type. Go for the boltbeam combo.

Do you know who is the most overused poke nowadays? Scizor. Do you know what? Because its powerful and has one of the best moves alongside its abilities.

You have no counter for him, as Gengar will be OHKO by Bullet Punch.

Run Timid on Gengar so you have a reliable Gyra counter once he sets up

Honchkrow is just dumped there, it has no synergy with the team.

I think you should rethink the entire team, unfortunately
