Team Help
Hello again, decided to make another team. (Thank you too those that helped me with my other teams. They were fantastic!) Here they are.
Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite Nature: Modest Ability: Trace EVs: 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 Hp Moves: Focus Blast, Psyshock, Shadow Ball, Hyper Voice Salamance @ Life Orb Nature: Jolly Ability: Moxie EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Hp Moves: Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Iron Tail, Earthquake Smeargle @ Focus Sash Nature: Timid Ability: Own Tempo EVs: 252 Hp/252 Spe/ 4 Def Moves: Spore, Baton Pass, Bulk Up, Quiver Dance Infernape @ Assault Vest Nature: Adament Ability: Iron Fist EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Hp Moves: Fire Punch, Mach Punch, Poison Jab, Thunder Punch Ferrothorn @ Focus Sash Nature: Sassy Ability: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 Def/252 SpD/4 Hp Moves: Stealth Rocks, Leech Seed, Explosion, Thunder Wave Porygon-Z @ Shell Bell Nature: Timid Ability: Adaptability EVs: 252 Spe/252 SpA/4 Hp Moves: Tri-attack, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Dark Pulse Welp, there we go. |
You could use Shadow Ball on Mega Gardevoir to hit Mega Metagross, Doublade or Jirachi, but the former two bone it anyway. Will-o-Wisp, Calm Mind or Taunt are the better options over that slot. 24 Def/232 SAtk/252 Spe is the spread to go for; it lets Mega Gardevoir survive 2 Psyshocks from Latios.
Now that Salamencite is banned to Ubers, there's no reason to use Salamence once again. Dragonite is the better Dragon Dancer again this time around: -Dragon Dance -Dragon Claw/Outrage -Earthquake/Fire Punch -Extreme Speed Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe Item: Lum Berry/Leftovers Ability: Multiscale Shell Smash is the better setup move on Smeargle, as it boosts offenses and Speed at once: -Spore -Shell Smash -Baton Pass -Ingrain/Magic Coat/Taunt Nature: Timid EVs: 80 HP/96 Def/80 SDef/252 Spe Item: Focus Sash Ability: Own Tempo Infernape is a terrible Assault Vest user, as it's still frail even with the item attached. Read this article on why Assault Vest is a terrible item on frail sweepers like Infernape. Even then, it should go mixed or act as a lead: -Stealth Rock -Overheat -Close Combat/Taunt -Endeavor Nature: Hasty/Naive EVs: 168 Atk/88 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Focus Sash Ability: Blaze or -Fire Blast/Flare Blitz -Close Combat -Mach Punch -Hidden Power (Ice)/Thunder Punch/Grass Knot Nature: Hasty/Naive EVs: 168 Atk/88 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Iron Fist Ferrothorn is way too bulky for Focus Sash. You're wasting away its fantastic defensive capabilities by running Explosion on it: -Stealth Rock/Spikes -Leech Seed -Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave -Power Whip/Protect Nature: Relaxed EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef Item: Leftovers/Shed Shell Ability: Iron Barbs Porygon-Z seems good on paper, but it fails in practice. Its Speed isn't bad, but isn't good either, and its relative frailty doesn't help either. There are better special attackers out there, like Greninja: -Hydro Pump/Low Kick -Ice Beam -Gunk Shot -Dark Pulse/Grass Knot/Hidden Power (Fire) Nature: Naive EVs: 40 Atk/216 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Protean |
I disagree with Platinum about smeargle. Shell smash shouldn't be used to boost the offenses of pokemon that have decent defenses but less than excellent speed, like ferrothon or gardevoir. I'd say keep it as it is.

Smeargle is fine with the moves it has in the original post, I think. It won't do any killing, but it serves its purpose. |

As I mentioned before, Quiver Dance and Bulk Up don't boost the user's stats fast enough to be worth passing to. |
