Alakazam - seems fine to me

Crobat - Standard, so no worries

Clefable - Try 252 Sp Att, 129 Sp Def, 129 HP, just my personal taste. Still vunerable to Toxic either way.

Swampert - Ah, ye olde Cursepert. Looking at 170 HP, 170 Att, 170 Def, feel free to adjust a little on your preference.

Feraligatr - What are you doing to poor Feraligatr? Give him some decent attacks for goodness sake...

[email protected] Berry
EV: 252 Att, 252 Def, 6 Sp Def
Rain Dance
Toxic
HP Bug
Brick Break

Rain Dance to protect Feraligatr and Swampert from Sunnybeamers, fake them into thinking you're a Special Sweeper.

Cacturne - looking at 252 Sp Att, 252 Speed, 6 Def. Cacturne dies to too many things, so I'm not sure if your set up will help him at all. Give Leftovers for item.

Alakazam- fine

Crobat- if you want, change aerial ace to HP Flying for 10 higher power, but this means sacrificing one speed, making you ALWAYS slower than Aerodactyl and Jolteon, instead of 50/50.

Clefable- I personally liked hp, sp.atk or def, and sp.def. Personally, I treated it as a special sponge so I didn't give it any def, and just hp, sp.def with minor sp.atk plus calm nature. It can flex a little

Swampert- err... never good with him because its EVs require such awkward setup. Also, I strongly recommand you not to use cursepert because it's rather vulnerable to many things, and it doesn't have the endurance of Snorlax to make it as good. Ditch curse for ice beam. You don't need too much sp.atk on it to make ice beam useful. It's there because Salamence is everywhere. EV I recommand Hp, atk, def, with a minus speed, attack boost nature.

Feraligatr- strongly recommand ditching this thing unless you really want to use him. He's by far the worst of the 9 starters along with Thyplosion. Whatever Feraligatr can do, Swampert can do it. =/ However, if you insist...

Feraligatr- [atk + / speed -] @ leftovers
EV: hp max, def, atk
-counter
-brick break/dynamicpunch (to risk or not to risk, that is your question)
-hydro pump (NOT surf)
-roar

Not like it's a good pseudohazer, but you need one somehow... Hydro pump instead of surf, because you got no stats or time for surf. Go with hydro for 2HKO hopefully. Surf will gurantee 3HKO most of the time, and you don't have that extra turn for such "safety measures."

Cacturne- you can take destiny bond over needle arm so either you take down the opponent, or they allow you to use leech seed to heal up again. But then you're risking being messed over by sub. Otherwise, use seismic toss, not needle arm so you can spare EVs into max hp, and boost ONE of the 2 defenses to the max (you'll die trying to make Cacturne capable of withstanding both types of attacks).
