Please Rate my UU Trick Room Team:D

Hello everyone!

This is my team, and I'd like it very very very much, if you'd rate it! I will explain the strategy after the team:

Team Building Process:\​

In the beginning, when I wasn't thinking about competitive play at all, I already noticed that my Porygon2 with Rhyperior was a good combination. So I started about a Trick Room team, but I didn't knew of competitive play, so I just kept it in mind. But a time later..... Trick Room has the benefits that you can put the IV's, EV's, basic stats that are on speed away, and that you can put speed heightening moves away. The disadvantage of Trick Room is that you can only work with slow pokemon, but that's no problem for me!
I already knew that I'd like to have Porygon2, Rhyperior and Bibarel in my team. I liked Porygon from the start, and it's a good Trick Room user, thanks to its proper defenses. Rhyperior is just THE Trick Room Sweaper, and now it's UU....Death and Destruction! And Bibarel is just awesome!!!! With Curse, and Trick Room up, it doubles its speed, attack AND defense! I mean...Death And Destruction! :paranoid:
Then, I needed three other Pokémon. First, I looked around the internet and I seeked for good Trick Room Pokemon. Then I found out about Slowking, which is just one of my favorite Pokémon. It also can hit fighting pokemon hard, who are threatening my Porygon, Rhyperior and Bibarel. Then I took a break of thinking about my team.
A few weeks later, I came back building my team. I saw that there were three Pokemon weak to grass, and I didn't like that. So I sought again on the internet, and I found Cresselia. Cresselia is just a great support, but it didn't have that low speed. A big benefit was that it was a perfect Trick Room user! Then, I really wanted to something about the grass weakness, so I seeked on bulbapedia for all pokemon that had type coverage against grass. Then I found Muk, which is also strong against fighting. It's a good combination with Cresselia too.

My Team:rambo:​

Porygon 2 @ Leftovers
Nickname: DatabaseX
Nature: Quiet
EV's: 252 HP / 120 Def. or Sp. Def./ 136 SpA
Ability: Trace
IV's: Sp. Atk: Highly curious, mischievous, thoroughly cunning, often lost in thought, very finicky
~ Trick Room
~ Thunderbolt
~ Ice Beam
~ Recover
My Trick Room user. After Trick Room, it'll have a quick recover and some good special attacks.

Good, although something like Exeggutor works better as a lead TR imo.

Exeggutor@Focus Sash
Nature: Brave
252 Attack / 252 Sp. Atk
Trick Room
Explosion
Leaf Storm
Sleep Powder / Hidden Power [ Fire ]

It almost always takes at least one Pokemon with it, as well as setting up rocks. In UU aside from Snover and Hippopotas (Both of which had under 4% usage in November) you don't have to worry about weather taking out the sash, and Leaf Storm hits anything that Explosion doesn't (Bar any Steel type and Haunter, but it had less usage than Snover and Hippopotas, and Leaf Storm does 77.9% - 91.8% to Timid, so not really anything to worry about). Hidden Power Fire can be used if you want to hit Steel types, although you still can't hit Aggron for SE, but it still dies to Leaf Storm 119.6% - 140.9%.

Rhyperior @ Choice Band
Nickname: Rambo / Ramba
Nature: Brave
EV's: 252 Atk / 252 Sp. Def / 4 Def
Ability: Solid Rock (First Rock Head)
IV's: Attack: Proud of its power, likes to trash about, a little quick tempered, likes to fight, quick tempered.
~ Earthquake
~ Stone Edge
~ Aqua Tail / Swords Dance
~ Megahorn
My overall sweeper, with great defense too. This one will be monstrous. Needs no further explanation.

This thing works great under Trick Room.

Slowking @ Leftovers
Nickname: ???
Nature: Quiet
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Sp. Def. / 4 Def.
Ability: Own Tempo
IV's: Sp. Atk: Highly curious, mischievous, thoroughly cunning, often lost in thought, very finicky
~ Nasty Plot
~ Surf
~ Psychic
~ Slack Off
Good against fighting pokemon, has time to set up calm mind and use a quick Slack Off. Then it'll have two good sp. atks. too, because they give STAB.

Without an item to prolong Trick Room, you can't really start Calm Minding. Nasty Plot gives you a quick way to sweep so that Trick Room isn't wasted.

Bibarel @ Leftovers
Nickname: BigBeavah
Nature: Brave
EV's: 252 Atk / 128 Sp. Def / 128 Def.
Ability: Simple
IV's: Attack: Proud of its power, likes to trash about, a little quick tempered, likes to fight, quick tempered.
~ Curse
~ Waterfall
~ Amnesia
~ Return
This one is monstrous too, it can first use curse and amnesia (depends on the opposing pokemon). If it's almost dead then, I'll switch in Cresselia, which has the move Lunar Dance, which will heal him. Then it has monstrous attack and defenses, and it's the best sweepah:P Return and Waterfall are his strongest Stab Moves.

Again, if you're aiming for a Trick Room team, you don't have time to start setting up. I'd get rid of this slot for another Pokemon to set up Trick Room. Something like Gallade to make use of it's great attack and mediocre speed. Something like Solrock I'd say, since you're a little lacking in the team support, aside from Cress.

Solrock@Lum Berry
Nature: Brave
252 HP / 252 Attack / 4 Def
Explosion
Trick Room
Rock Slide
Earthquake / Reflect / Light Screen

Just pretty basic. Set up TR and blow up or hit hard while you can.

Cresselia @ Light Clay
Nickname: Soluna
Nature: Relaxed
EV's: 252 HP / 182 Def / 74 SpD
Ability: Levitate
IV's: Sp. Atk: Highly curious, mischievous, thoroughly cunning, often lost in thought, very finicky
~ Reflect
~ Light Screen
~ Lunar Dance
~ Trick Room
My main supporter. WIth Reflect and Light Screen it can heighten my team already big defenses, and it's another trick room user. With Lunar Dance it'll help Muk and Bibarel a lot!

Fine, and with this here, it kind of gives you the room for Earthquake on Solrock if you choose to use it.

Muk @ Black Sludge
Nickname: Sluggor
Nature: Brave
EV's: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD
Ability: Sticky Hold
IV's: Attack: Proud of its power, likes to trash about, a little quick tempered, likes to fight, quick tempered.
~ Curse
~ Poison Jab
~ Ice Punch
~ Explosion
The same as Bibarel. First use Curse, and when it's almost dead, switch to Cresselia and use Lunar Dance, which will heal him. Then it can sweep a lot. Ice Punch is handier than Brick Break for type coverage, and I thought Explosion would be a lot better than rest.

Well, if you really think you can get up a Curse before Trick Room goes out, feel free to keep it on there. Shadow Sneak >> Explosion in case Trick Room quits while you're in the middle of Cursing.

Questions:paranoid:​

Well, I've got some questions too....

• On which defense you should spend the defense EV's? I really don't know for sure. This is meant for every Pokemon in my team.
• What items should I give my Pokemon? Because of the item clause, I can't use two of the same items.
• What EV's should I give too my Pokemon? I've just put them on attack and sp. atk. Is that good, or not?
• Do you have nickname's for Slowking, Cresselia and Muk? I'm not really content with the ones I have now...

Please give your overall opinion too, because this is my first competitive team, and I'm not so sure I've done a good job. But I guess I have, because it's quite impressive.

Thanks in advance!
