Umbreon honestly isn't that good because even though it has excellent defenses, its almost non-existent offensive presence makes it easy to set up on. Use Blissey instead because it has better bulk specially and fewer weaknesses than Umbreon:
-Aromatherapy/Stealth Rock
-Softboiled
-Seismic Toss/Flamethrower
-Toxic/Thunder Wave
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure

(Chansey can run the above set too, except that it has to use Eviolite as its item and Seismic Toss as its offensive move).

Infernape is already fast, so Flame Charge isn't going to help it much. Use this set:
-Fire Blast/Overheat
-Close Combat
-Grass Knot/U-turn
-Stone Edge/Mach Punch
Nature: Hasty
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

Kingdra can use an effective Dragon Dance set due to its good bulk and neutral coverage:
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Outrage
-Rest/Substitute
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 160 HP/144 Atk/40 SDef/164 Spe (Rest) or 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe (Substitute)
Item: Chesto Berry
Ability: Swift Swim

If you really want a Special Dragon attacker, use Hydreigon:
-Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse
-Dark Pulse
-Fire Blast
-Focus Blast/U-turn
Nature: Modest
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt

Alakazam can't learn Thunderbolt. Use this set for excellent neutral coverage:
-Psychic/Psyshock
-Focus Blast
-Shadow Ball
-Calm Mind/Substitute
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard

For Salamence, use this Dragon Dance set for maximum coverage:
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Roost
Nature: Naive/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate

This slot can be taken up by a Steel type, like Scizor or Ferrothorn to help cover Salamence's (and some of your other Pokemon's) weaknesses:

Scizor:
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower/Brick Break
-Pursuit/Quick Attack
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spe
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Technician

Ferrothorn:
-Spikes/Stealth Rock
-Leech Seed
-Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave/Protect
-Power Whip/Protect
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef
Item: Leftovers

I dont understand how to spread out Ev's that amazing. i understand how to train them but not calculate them

Umbreon is simply out there as a wall and to let the status problems take out my opponent,
Isnt infernape a physical sweeper?

and yes, alakazam CAN learn thunderbolt, ive done it numerous times, it also says he cant learn shockwave, but mine does for the time being until i get a thunderbolt TM.

and with the dragon dance set up, how am i going to garantee that i can just keep dragon dancing without dying?

More feed back from additional players as well please. ty

Err, no. Alakazam cannot learn Thunder bolt. If you really want Salamence, go for Salamence, but I think Dragonite* would dance much better. Salamence boasts speed while Dragonite boasts bulkiness (more bulky in 5th gen thanks to Multiscale). Infernape can be both Physical and Special, it has 104 base Attack and Special Attack. Chansey absorbs special attacks WAY BETTER than Umbreon. It can troll too by Toxic or T-Wave, can consistently damage foes by 100, thanks to Seismic Toss, and heals too via Softboiled. Not to mention enormous HP and gains even more bulk from eviolite.

You can take note of your EV training progress by starting from 0 and recording the EV's your Pokemon gain every battle.




Dragonite @ Chesto Berry / Leftovers / Life Orb
252 Attack 252 Speed 4 HP
Nature: Jolly | Ability: Multiscale
Moveset:
~Dragon Dance
~Dragon Claw/Outrage
~Fire Punch
~Rest (if you're using Chesto Berry) / Roost / Extremespeed / Earthquake

i also love dragonite, but im already pretty far into training, my teams basically done minus the EV training. the moves were what needed to be keyed, blissy huh?

And im still pretty sure alakazam can learn thunderbolt, trolol. ive done it.. unless it changed over the generations


EDIT: you say umbreon has no physical damage at all, yet you want a blissy with a base attack of 10 to possibly learn seismic toss?

Just so you know, Alakazam can't learn Thunderbolt

I suggested Blissey because while it can wall most Special attackers to hell and back, it can also do some occasional damage with Seismic Toss (which does damage equal to the user's level; for example if Blissey is at level 100, then Seismic Toss will always do 100 damage except against Ghost Pokemon).

Like I said in my last post, use the Alakazam set I suggested because Psychic + Fighting + Ghost provide perfect neutral coverage.

Alakazam can't learn T-bolt.

Seismic toss does a consistent damage EQUIVALENT to the Pokemon's level, like what PlatinumDude said. Chansey is bulkier than Blissey thanks to Eviolite, but Blissey still has access to 1/16 HP recovery with Leftovers. It's really your preference, I prefer Chansey with Eviolite but it needs something that can withstand Psyshock, and other Physical Attacks. Something like Skarmory, Forretress, etc.

i find it strange that alakazam can learn charge beam+ shockwave but not T-bolt.

im going to run my umbreon for the soul fact that it is my favorite pokemon.


Anything on having substitute on my kingdra?

Substitute on Kingdra blocks status effects, like paralysis or burn, so that it can set up Dragon Dance more easily. For instance, if you predict a Thunder Wave/Toxic/Will-o-Wisp from the opponent, you can use Substitute to block the attack, then proceed to set up Dragon Dance as the opponent breaks the Substitute or switches out.
