What a mess of a team. Please rate!

I'm a little bit of a beginner when it comes to this so don't be TOO harsh aha, I am only interested with in-game battles. I am not too familiar with Natures or EV's so I haven't included them. Hopefully the structure is correct! =] Thank you in advance.

Dragonite
Dragon Claw
Stone Edge
Dragon Dance
Fire Punch

Carracosta
Bulldoze
Waterfall
Rockslide
Aqua Tail

Lilligant
Hidden Power
Petal Dance
Toxic
Quiver Dance

Reuniclus
Recover
Psyshock
Shadow Ball
Grass Knot

Emboar
Heat Crash
Scald
Brick Break
?

Eelektross
Wild Charge
Dragon Claw
Flamethrower
?



As you can see my team is a bit of a mess. I am not TOO sure on Lilligant in general, does not seem to add much to the team and I feel like a lot of my moves are very similar. So would anyone be kind enough to give me a little bit of advice. =]

I guess this is an alright in game team but you might want to give Elektross the move acid spray it works great competitively and you may want to switch liligant with a steel type.

Terrakion rage!
For Emboar, I would go for Hammer Arm over Brick Break as Emboar is pretty slow and for it's last move I'd go for Wild Charge to get rid of Water Types.And Heat Crash is all about weight so why not try Flare Blitz?

In regards to Carracosta: Bulldoze is okay, but I see no reason it couldn't be running Earthquake instead. I would definitely replace Aqua Tail; already having Waterfall, you just don't need it. If you want another attacking move to go in place of Aqua Tail, I would suggest Crunch. As an alternative to attacking moves, I would offer you use either Rock Polish, or if you're feeling extra cool, you could use Shell Smash.

For Lilligant
What type is your Hidden Power? Hidden Power Fire work best for Lilligant because it can Super Effective Steel, Bug and Grass which Petal Dance can't kill them.

Dragonite
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Dragon Dance
Fire Punch
.:. with EQ you get a better coverage, not to mention the true perfect neutral coverage against EVERY SINGLE POKEMON in the game, competitive or not.

Carracosta
Earthquake
Waterfall / Aqua Jet
Rockslide
Shell Smash / Curse
.:. A stat boosting move would certainly benefit your ancient turtle. You can go either way, crack that heavy shell and be an amazing sweeper with the help of STAB Waterfall and Rock Slide, or curl up inside your shell and hit with a +1 attack minimum STAB priority that hits everything except Water Absorbers. And definitely EQ over Bulldoze

Lilligant
Hidden Power? which one?
Petal Dance
Toxic
Quiver Dance
.:. Not much to say... I guess just what type the hidden power is, and I assume that you've got Own Tempo since you're running petal dance on it?

Reuniclus
Recover
Psyshock
Shadow Ball
Grass Knot / Focus Blast / Calm Mind
.:. Nice choice! I assume it's the Magic Guard version, which is by far better. Focus blast also gives you a perfect neutral coverage, but if you don't like the shaky accuracy then Calm Mind can boost your chances of going on a killing spree ^^


Emboar
Flare Blitz
Scald
Brick Break
Earthquake
.:. Good choice in Scald for coverage. I would go with Flare Blitz to use your higher attack stat more, though the recoil may have you second guessing yourself. But personally I think it'll come in more use than Heat Crash, seeing as unless you have something that doubles your weight, you might not be doing enough late story wise since most things are fully evolved and therefore heavier. Earthquake once again cuz 1) it's just a great filler move, 100 power and 100 acc? cmon and 2) TMs don't go away! why NOT use them more! :D


Eelektross
Wild Charge
Dragon Claw
Flamethrower / Crunch / Fire Blast
Coil
.:. Coil will be able to boost your already fair natural bulk and also raise your attack so your moves do more damage. For this reason I would go with Crunch. However you can choose Fire Blast too since Coil also boosts accuracy.

eh, Fight & Ground shares similar coverage, so I don't see the point of having Earthquake on Emboar when it has STAB Fight move.

Give it a Rock move instead, Rock Slide or Stone Edge, for more coverage.
