Okay so I need someone to help me create a team. My team will be consisting of: Gengar, Salamence, Tyranitar, Kingdra, Gliscor and Breloom.

Can anyone give me a good moveset and hold item for each?

You'd be better posting an RMT after you've put this together, you'll receive a far better analysis.
Gengar @ Life Orb
Timid | Levitate
[ 4HP, 252 SAtk, 252 Spd ]
~ Shadow Ball
~ Focus Blast/HP Fighting*
~ Thunderbolt
~ HP Ice*/Substitute/Hypnosis

*Obviously illegal/impossible on the same set.

Salamence @ Life Orb
Rash | Intimidate
[ 120 Atk, 252 SAtk, 136 Spd ]
~ Draco Meteor
~ Fire Blast
~ Brick Break/Outrage
~ Roost/Outrage

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Adamant | Sand Stream
[248 HP, 252 Atk, 8 Spd]
~ Stone Edge
~ Crunch
~ Earthquake (Focus Punch is an option, but if you're new, you may want to avoid it.)
~ Pursuit

Kingdra @ Lum Berry
Adamant | Swift Swim
[4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd]
~ Dragon Dance
~ Waterfall
~ Outrage
~ Substitute/Return

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Impish | Sand Veil
[252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Spd] (You can run more speed to outspeed threats, such a Magnezone.)
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Fang/Fire Fang/Aerial Ace
~ Stealth Rock/Taunt/Knock Off
~ Roost

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Adamant/Jolly | Poison Heal
[252 Atk, 4 Def, 252 Spd]
~ Spore
~ Substitute
~ Focus Punch
~ Stone Edge*/Seed Bomb

*A far better option.

You're welcome.

I'd like to point out to whoever requested the team: Just choosing six pokemon and giving them sets does not make a good team. You should atleast have a basic strategy or gameplan in mind, then start choosing pokes that fit the strategy and dont open up too many weaknesses. You already have 3 ice weaks, two of which are 4x weak. The SS from TTar also benefits only one more poke. I just wanna say that if you plan to be serious about this stuff, get a plan or strategy or roles sorted out from before, not just 6 OUs together.

Okay, I'm looking at Smogon's SD Bullet Punch Scizor set, and the EVs (252 Atk/ 224 Spe/ 32 HP) look iffy to me. Does Scizor really need that much speed?

Also, I plan to use:

Scizor @ Life Orb
Adamant
Technician
EVs
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Brick Break
- X-Scissor (May opt for Quick Attack, maybe)

You can go with:
[ 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spd ]
or
[4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd ]

252 Spd only let's it outspeed other Raticates. There is nothing between 322 Spd and +Spd Base 95s. It really doesn't care about the extra 2 HP, so you can run 252/252 if you're making it in-game.

Airconditioning, you can either go with a bulky or fast set for Scizor, it really depends on your play style. To be honest, with 8 stat points, you'd be better off putting them in either Def, SDef or going all-out.

I got a moveset for regigigas that I'm wondering if it'd work...(it's supposed to be a improved staller set...)
Regigigas @ Leftovers/ Expert belt
Nature: Adamant
EVs: (i need help with this....)
Confuse ray
Thunder wave
Rock slide/ Iron head(platinuim only)/ Zen headbutt
Focus punch/ Brick break/ Stone edge/ Earthquake/ Thunder, Ice or Fire punch
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Like Rascalrock, you parazlye with Thunder wave, then use Confuse ray (or vice-versa if you prefer)
to make the foe unlikely to attack, then try to keep them from attacking more by making them flinch with Rock slide, Iron head or Zen headbutt.(Rock slide helps counter Gyarados, if you decide not to use Stone edge for your 2nd attack, Iron head has the most power [tied to Zen headbutt] & has 10% more of a chance to make the foe flinch than Zen headbutt, & Zen headbutt hits Infernape, Machamp & Heracross [the fighting-types you'll see most in OU, I belive] super-effectily, as well as Gengar.)
For the "sweeping" attack, Focus punch is the most powerful 1, & it's have a good chance to work, since the foe most likely will either be too paralzyed to move, or hit itself in confusion.(plus, even with resisted hit, it'll put a large dent into any pokemon, as long slow start is gone & your foe is not a ghost) However, if you don't want to rely on paralzsis & confusion, use Brick break instead,of which has the bonus of breaking Reflect, as well as other screens. If you're worried about Electivire swicthing into Thunder wave, use Earthquake to nip it's naughty plans in the bud. If you're more worried about Gyarados, use Stone edge, of which will work agaist others treats that's weak to rock, like aerodactyl. Thunderpunch would do more damage to Gyarados, but Electivire may swicth into it...(if you insist on using Thunderpunch to attack water & flying type treats, make sure that your rival don't have Electivire, or elimate it first.) Ice punch is for Dragons, of which will be more fearsome on Platinuim, due to Outrage being avaible to them, & Fire punch is for Forretress, Scizor, Skarmory, Metagross & Bronzong of which I belive are all consdier to be top-tier pokemons...The item choice depend on what you like better: more survivability, or to counter treats better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I belive the EVs for Regigigas should be like this:
It have enough defensive EVs to take at least 1 choice banded Close combat from Heracross,
& 1 Focus blast from Gengar, (it then can ruin them with Zen headbutt[if you have it] & Thunder wave &/or Confuse ray)
& the rest of the EVs should be focused into it's attack...

Lead Jolteon on a Rain Dance team? Shouldn't you lead with someone who can use Rain Dance without dying?

Jolteon has base 130 speed. Not much will outrun it. Which means I will at least get a guaranteed Rain Dance.

That's great. You set up your guaranteed rain, I'll go ahead and kill your flimsy lead. 6-5.

What's wrong with using Bronzong or Slowbro/king? They can set up Rain Dance, and actually survive to use it later.

EDIT: I forgot that suicide leads are in vogue right now, so you may get far. Who knows.

Jolt sets up RD, dies. 6-5.
Kingdra comes in, sets up and then sweeps in the 8 turns of rain.

Suicide works by making sure your sweeper gets in there with enought time to sweep, rather than waiting to die with 3 Raiin turns remaining. But for suicide RD, Electrode is th best with 140 Spe and Explosion.

Bother.....I can't decide what Heatran moveset to use...
But I did narrow the choices down:
I don't like being choiced, because I feel that will leave me vulnerable,
(besides that, my Heatran is modest, so that leaves out the scarf set)
& I have a calm Cresselia I figure would be a equally good rest-talker,
So I'm deciding between the taunt & burn support sets....
which would counter the greater amout of treats?

Just don't use Mixed Wall Gengar, because 60/60/75 is kind of lol for a Wall set, try these sets:

[email protected] Orb
252 SpAtk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Timid
Shadow Ball
Hidden Power Ice
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast

[email protected] Scarf
EV Spread and nature are the same as LO Gar
Shadow Ball
HP Ice / Trick
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast

You can use Specs if you want power, but Life Orb gives you the choice of all moves, Scarf is for revenge-killing stuff.

Wow. Nincada run. The only good stat it has is a good base Def of 90. Unfortunately, 3 of its 4 weaknesses are special, which it has a pathetic base SDef of 30. Add to that a craptastic base HP of 31, and you are going to either have to level it up 30 more than your opponent, or this is going to take a while.

The moveset. Personally I would go with physical attacks since its base Atk is 45 while its SAtk is a paltry 30. In order to help bolster that pathetic base Atk, I would HIGHLY suggest Adamant Nature and max the heck out of its Atk EVs. I might put the rest in Spd, but that won't really help you outspeed any important. Might as well max out HP, which will strengthen both defenses somewhat. For the actual moves, I suggest the following:

- Dig
- Shadow Ball
- Silver Wind
- Aerial Ace / Toxic

Normally, I would NEVER suggest Dig, but being part Ground-type this thing needs all the STAB it can get. Shadow Ball is basically there for the "elite" 4, but its high AP can help in other areas. Silver Wind is strictly for STAB and is an Egg move, so you will either need to breed before hand or go with something else. Aerial Ace does give more type coverage, but Toxic might be better for you since you will probably be popping various Potions like they were candy in an effort to outlive your opponent than trying to defeat them with attacks. Aerial Ace could replace Silver Wind, but you really want that second STAB attack.
