I had changed my team up somewhat since the last time I posted a thread, and I was wondering if their is anything that I could improve upon? I know that unfortunately my team is a little special attack oriented at the moment so I was thinking of replacing one of my Philemon for a physical attacker, but I don't know which one to use. Any suggestions for a new Pokemon would be appreciated as well as general feedback of my team.
Nah, probably no need. Since I notice that Gardevoir has Psyshock, that paints it as a mixed attacker, as it could hit either Def or SpDef.
Name:Gardevoir
Type
sychic/Fairy
Ability:Synchronize
Nature:Modest
Evs:252 spatk/252 spider/ 4 spd
Item:Mind plate
Moves
syshock
Energy ball
Shadow ball
Moon blast
First of all, you shouldn't have any EVs in spider. In fact, you can't even have EVs in spider. Unless it's Ariados or Galvantula, and in that case all EVs are in spider. Personally I'd stick them all in Speed and SpAtt, and the remaining 4 in HP or SpDef.
Anyway, if you plan on Gardevoir being your mega, and you happen to have access to Pokebank, you should try to get one with Hyper Voice to replace Moonblast; Mega Gardevoir's Pixilate will actually make Hyper Voice a bit stronger. Otherwise, though, the set looks fairly good. Th combination of Psyshock, Moonblast, and Shadow Ball gives you perfect neutral-or-better coverage, so the last move could be an extra move for coverage (Energy Ball is a good choice, but you could also try Thunderbolt or Signal Beam, though the latter is weaker and is transfer-only), Wish, or Calm Mind. I'd suggest replacing that hold item with Gardevoirite as soon as possible.
Name: Dragalge
Type: Dragon/Poison
Ability
oison Point
Nature:Modest
Evs:252 Spatk/252 hp/ 4Def
Item:Black Sludge
Moves: Dragon Pulse
Toxic
Scald
Sludge bomb
I honestly am not a huge fan of running Toxic on this thing unless you're going to back it up with Venoshock, but it's not a bad choice at all. If you want to keep a bulky Special attacker, this will be fine, I think.
Name: Gliscor
Type:Ground/Flying
Ability
oison Heal
Nature:Naughty
Evs:252 atk/252 def/4 spd
Item:Toxic Orb
Moves:Sky Uppercut
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Swords Dance
I'm afraid Sky Uppercut just isn't a good move for this guy. Between Earthquake and Stone Edge, you've got a fair number of types covered, missing only Breloom, Verizion, Torterra, and Chesnaught, and Sky Uppercut certainly won't help you handle them. Aerial Ace would be much better IMO, as three of those four take double SE damage from Flying, and it's a STAB besides. Another option might be Roost to keep Gliscor alive for longer while his Toxic recovery builds up, Stealth Rock for residual damage, Defog to sweep away opposing entry hazards, or U-Turn for hit-and-run strategies. Since he's such a staller, you could also swap Sky Uppercut and Swords Dance out for Toxic and Protect. While he does have great Defense, I'd rather put those EVs into Speed so he can be used to sweep, or HP since that'll let him take Special hits a bit better too.
Name:Volcarona
Type:Fire/Bug
Ability:Flame Body
Nature:Modest
Evs:252 SpAtk/252 spd/4 spdef
Item:Flame Plate
Moves:Heat Wave
Bug Buzz
Quiver Dance
Hurricane
Hurricane is actually not all that good on this guy. He'd need to get in the rain for it to work well due to its 70 accuracy, and that'll not only stifle his Fire STAB but also magnify his Water weakness. I'd really go with either Roost, Giga Drain, or Psychic. Giga Drain, unfortunately, is transfer only and leaves you walled by most Fire types, but does give you some recovery, while Psychic will give you perfect NoB coverage, even if there's not as much you can hit super-effective. I'd also suggest either Flamethrower or Fire Blast rather than Heat Wave; Heat Wave has a mere 5 power more than Flamethrower at the cost of 10 accuracy, while Fire Blast loses 15 accuracy for an additional 20 power. So basically, if you want accuracy, Flamethrower, or if you prefer power, Fire Blast. For his item, Life Orb would be better, especially if you choose to have him with Roost. I'd personally go with Swarm for his ability so Bug Buzz gets a potential buff, but you don't really want this guy taking damage either way, and both of his abilities rely on him taking damage, unfortunately.
Name
orygon-Z
Type:Normal
Ability:Adaptability
Nature:Quiet
Evs: 252 SpAtk/ 252 SpDef/ 4 Spd
Item:Silk Scarf
Moves: Dark Pulse
Tri Attack
Trick Room
Thunder Bolt
I see Download much more often on this guy than Adaptability, but I'll admit this does actually make Tri Attack worth using. Trick Room, unfortunately, is absolute trash on this guy, even with a -Speed nature; it'd work better if he had Analytic, but he's relatively frail, and you don't really want him taking hits. I would personally replace Trick Room with Ice Beam and give him either Choice Specs or Choice Scarf. If you can swap Tri Attack for Uproar, even better. Or you could give him Trick, allowing him to swap his Choice item onto a defensive pokemon like Chansey or Mandibuzz to completely shut them down. If you must have something to exploit Analytic, I'd suggest going with Magnezone or Beheeyem instead, as they're both slower and can actually take some hits.
Name:Aegislash
Type:Ghost/Steel
Ability:Stance Change
Nature:Gentle
Evs:252 Atk/ 252 Def/4 SpDef
Item:Rocky Helmet
Moves:Sacred Sword
King Shield
Iron Head
Shadow Claw
Gentle is just a horrible nature for this guy; you need to be going Adamant instead, or at least Brave, Impish, Sassy... just please, none of the -Def or -SpDef natures. You do NOT want him losing either of his defenses. On that note, his EVs would do much better in HP than in Def, I think, as his HP is really not all that great, and adding to it would really improve his survivability. The moves look good, although I'd go with Shadow Sneak over Shadow Claw so you have a priority attack, but that's just me.
-----
Overall, the team's not too bad, and perfectly viable for in-game, but it's not gonna be so hot for competitive if you go that route. You've got a nasty Ground weakness that only one of your pokemon can handle well, and Rock type moves will do a number on you as well, so watch out for those.
