Rate my Team please
 
Hey guys! Here´s my planned team, I don´t have a 6.th pokemon yet, I was hoping I could get some suggestions as to which one.
Anyway, without further ado, here we go:

Typhlosion @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Mild
EVs 252SpAtk/120Atk/136 speed
- Eruption
- Focus Punch
- Overheat
- Earthquake

Opener with the Choice Scarf, will tear stuff up with Eruption.

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Nature: Calm
EVs 252hp/240def/16 spd
- Nasty Plot
- Air Slash
- Baton Pass
- Roost

Do some Nasty Plotting then sweep with Air Slash or Baton Pass to Gengar or Milotic.

Gengar @ Life Orb
Nature: Timid
EVs 4hp/252spatk/252 spd
- Hypnosis
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast

Standard sweeper, thinking of switching out Hypnosis with Explosion though, not sure... Blissey shouldn´t be hard to deal with Focus Blast.

Milotic @ Marvel Scale
Nature: Bold
EVs 252hp/136def/120 spAtk
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Basic strategy to do an ice beam maybe, then rest to full HP to gain more defense, then sleep talk away!

Electivire @ Expert Belt
Nature: Lonely/Adamant
EVs 4hp/252atk/252 spd
- Earthquake
- Cross Chop
- Ice Punch
- Thunderpunch

Your basic physical sweeper, this will take care of most stuff...


SO! I don´t have a 6.th pokemon. I was thinking of getting a staller/annoyer maybe... those are cool.
Or maybe what I need is a physical wall?
I need some general advice aswell, please do post and help me out :)
Thanks in advance.

I can help with Gengar and it looks fine really

Gengar @ Wide Lens
Nature: Timid
EVs 6hp/252spatk/252 spd
- Hypnosis
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast

The reason it needs Wide Lens is because Focus Blast and Hypnosis needs a bit more accuracy due to low 70 acc and if you dont like using Wide Lens you could always go with an all out special sweeper Gengar

Gengar @ Focus Sash/Wise Glasses
Nature: Timid
EVs 6hp/252spatk/252 spd
- Energy Ball
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Sludge Bomb

You can't Focus Punch without help. You'll need spot on prediction to pull off Focus Punch without Substitute.

Thanks Lumnie for the Gengar advice, I guess I´ll go with the wise glasses or the life orb with a standard sweeper set then!

Anyone got any advice on a 6:th member?

Torkoal/Forretress for Stealth Rock/Spikes and Rapid Spin, crucial physical wall needed plus Rapid Spinning POWER!

Typhlosion @ Choice Scarf

- Eruption
- Focus Punch
- Overheat/Focus Blast
- Earthquake/Subsitute/Smokescreen

Opener with the Choice Scarf, will tear stuff up with Eruption.

The general rule is that you don't have more than one of a type of move. That eliminates overheat. Also, because Typhlosion is more special, you might want to keep it that way. Anotgher option is to guve up EQ for subsitute OR smokescreen (that works, I've tried it).

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Nature: Calm
EVs 252hp/240def/16 spd
- Nasty Plot
- Air Slash
- Baton Pass
- Roost

Do some Nasty Plotting then sweep with Air Slash or Baton Pass to Gengar or Milotic.

If it's going to sweep, at least give it a few EVs in Sp. Atk.

Gengar @ Life Orb
Nature: Timid
EVs 4hp/252spatk/252 spd
- Hypnosis
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast

Standard sweeper, thinking of switching out Hypnosis with Explosion though, not sure... Blissey shouldn´t be hard to deal with Focus Blast.

Note: Blissey WILL be hard to deal with, even with Focus Blast. But, then again, you can't do much about it besides giving Gengar a physical move, and no one wants that. Overall, it's fine. Because your team lacks a Grass move, you might want to use that over Focus Blast.

Milotic @ Marvel Scale
Nature: Bold
EVs 252hp/136def/120 spAtk
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Basic strategy to do an ice beam maybe, then rest to full HP to gain more defense, then sleep talk away!

This is fine, but Hypnosis/Mirror Coat works as well.

Electivire @ Expert Belt
Nature: Lonely/Adamant
EVs 4hp/252atk/252 spd
- Earthquake
- Cross Chop
- Ice Punch
- Thunderpunch

Good, good.

Your last Pokemon should be a wall. From what I have seen from your team, I recommend a Special Wall (Milotic's EVs tell me it's a physical wall). You'll br needing a Stealth Rocker and a Rapid Spinner, but other than that, your team is good.

well here to tell you that you can NEVER go wrong w/spiritomb or umbreon.:)
