    Leads for a 2vs2 battle

    Togekiss @ Light Clay
    Bold Nature
    DEF: 252 / S.DEF: 252 / HP:4
    Follow Me
    Light Screen
    Reflect
    -

    Magmortar @ Chesto Berry
    Jolly Nature
    ATK: 128 / DEF: 128 / SPD: 252
    Fire Punch
    Mach Punch
    Belly Drum
    Rest

    Togekiss is basically just a wall to protect attacks against Magmortar until he's set up, then she'll protect the team by using Light Screen and Reflect (Although I don't expect her to last very long). I have no idea what her last move should be, maybe something like Grass Knot, Roost or Endeavor. After she's been knocked out I'll send out an Umbreon or Weavile that knows Psych Up.

    Magmortar will just use the Belly Drum + Rest combo, hopefully Togekiss will be able to hold on for two turns so he'll have full HP and can start sweeping with Mach and Fire punch.

    Anything I should change?

    iirc belly drum + mach punch is illegal on magmortar. because of breeding issues. could be wrong.

    He's right. Mach Punch + Belly Drum is illegal.

    For Togekiss, give it Protect. When your opponents realize that you have Follow Me, they will double target Togekiss to try and take it out. Protect will make both of their moves fail, giving your partner a free turn to do whatever.

    Your Togekiss EVs are bad. If you want to make a defensive, look at its HP compared to its Defense/Special Defense.

    If HP < Defense/Special Defense, max out HP first (i.e. Shuckle, Dusknoir)
    If HP > Defense/Special Defense, max out Defense/Special Defense first (i.e. Blissey, Vaporeon)

    Since Togekiss's HP is less than its Defense and Sp Defense, you should put 252 EVs into HP.

    What you really need is 3 Pokemon to make this work. Try this:

    Lead with

    Bronzong @Occa Berry
    Brave Nature
    Levitate
    252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def

    -Trick Room
    -Explosion
    -Gyro Ball
    -Earthquake

    Togekiss @Lum Berry
    Sassy Nature
    252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef

    -Follow Me
    -Protect
    -Air Slash
    -Reflect/Roost

    Use Trick Room and Follow Me on the first turn, then Explosion and Protect on the second.

    After that, bring in your Belly Drummer.

    Snorlax @Sitrus Berry
    Brave Nature
    Thick Fat
    252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SpDef

    -Belly Drum
    -Return
    -Earthquake
    -Rock Slide

    Snorlax is the slowest Belly Drummer and will virtually always go first during Trick Room. It's very sturdy and will survive long enough to use Belly Drum and heal instantly with Sitrus Berry when it's at half health. Return is for STAB, Earthquake and Rock Slide hit both opponents.

    or

    Ah right, sorry about that then, I'm new to competitive battling, could anyone give me a link to where I can find the rules?

    Thank you for your help Aragornbird, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain my mistakes with EV's and decide on what move to give to Togekiss. I used to use Snorlax as my Belly Drummer, however I quite stupidly thought I'd be able to get away with sending him out first with an Espeon who knew Trick Room, luckily I found out I'd made a terrible mistake by repeatedly losing in the Battle Tower instead of humiliating myself online, I guess the fact that I didn't know anything about EV's and natures back then didn't help things either.

    The strategy you gave me to me, both its simplicity and genius blew me away, I'll take all your advice on board and try to build a team that could pull this off, thank you very much :)

    The standard Curse/Rest/Rock Slide/Sleep Talk is better since it doesnt get afflicted by status.

    Flygon, Kingdra, and Dragonite are a must. Salamence and Garchomp used to be OU, but they are banned now so you can't use them. Altaria is your only other choice, but it sucks.

    Support your Dragons with Steel types especially Magnezone and Scizor. Metagross can be your lead.

    You don't need Lv 100 pokemon to do Wi-FI battle.
    WI-FI automatically raise your pokemon to LV 100 if you choose the good mode before you battle.
    The only thing you have to care is training your pokemon.
