Dusclops doesn't have much physical attacks, I would change Poison since it's not really good/strong imo. The others are quite good but could you post the current lvls of your team? :)

lol Shadow Ball/Shadow punch (can't decide) is a physical atk belive it or not ghost atacks are physical,there are some exeptions in pearl and diamond. Also it's meant to be a tank.

Machamp:84
Absol:73
Alakazam:80
Houndoom:70 (just got it there)
Duslops:78
Ludicolo:77

Earth Quake Facade
Brick Break/Cross Chop

Nyah, Earthquake is redundant on Machamp since a STAB fighting move will cover all of the same types, so go with Facade instead for some gutshaxing (Guts bonus + double-power Facade + Machamp's Attack stat = Serious pain). Also, you could try Cross Chop over Brick Break for more raw power. Trust me, very few things are as nasty as a Cross Chop from a properly trained Machamp. Optionally, you put Facade in there instead of Bulk Up and give it a Choice Band.

Absol,Jolly,Pressure

Swords Dance
Areal Ace Iron Tail/Quick Attack
Shadow Ball
Return

Lol Absol. Aerial Ace is kind of pointless, though, since it has such weak base power and Absol's defensive stats don't afford it much time for buffing up. Iron Tail for the power or Quick Attack for first strike advantage imo.
----
Alakazam,Modest,Syncronize

Calm Mind
Psychic
Thunderpunch
Icepunch
----
Houndoom,Timid,Flash Fire

Sunny Day Will-O-Wisp
Crunch
Flamethrower
Solar Beam Beat Up/Pursuit

Nyah, Sunnydoom is outdated, really, and doesn't go well with a team with Ludi in it. This build will work better, but you'll have to breed for half of the moves, so yeah.
----
Ludicolo,Bold,Rain Dish

Rain Dance
Leech Seed
Surf
Giga Drain/Ice Beam

Yay staller Ludi. The sweeping build is really far more functional, imo. But whatever...
----
Dusclops,Careful,Pressure

Rest/Pain Split
Toxic Will-O-Wisp
Mean Look Substitute
SadowPunch/Ball Night Shade/Shadow Ball

Sorry but...no, just no. First off, one of Dusclops' most valuable assets is its ability to drain PP with Pressure and its high defensive stats, so you'll want to exploit that a bit more by taking Will-O-Wisp rather than Toxic since it will halve the power of your opponents physical attacks, thus effectively keeping Shadow Balls and random physical shizzle from breaking your Substitute (Another key move for Dusclops which is far more important than Mean Look, especially since the AI practically never switches) For the final move, Night Shade is more useful overall, while Shadow Ball will let you nail ghost and psychic types. Shadow Punch, however, is definitely not an option with Dusclops' rather weak attack.

Ehh...it was pretty good overall (Excluding the Dusclops and a few nitpicks) but it seems to be lacking a proper high HP wall, so I'd suggest replacing Absol with something like Snorlax or Milotic (Or possibly Regice if you're into that sort of thing).
