Hey guys, just wanted to know what you thought of my team in Platinum. I just beat Pokemon Battle Revolution with them and have been learning a lot more about the Pokemans. My team consists of only original 151 Pokemon: All 3 starters, "pikachu" for nostalgia, and I tossed in my favorite two Pokemon Snorlax and Gengar. So I am trying to make the best team based on only using these 6 Pokemon below.

GENGAR

Life Orb / Levitate / Timid
Explosion
Shadowball
Focus Blast
Hidden Power Fire

EVs - HP 6 / Spe 252 / Sp.A 252

SNORLAX
Leftovers / Thick Fat / Careful
Rest
Sleep Talk
Giga Impact
Earthquake

EVs - HP 244 / Def 148 / Sp.D 118

RAICHU
Focus Sash / Static / Modest
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power Ice
Wish
Thunderwave

EVs - HP 6 / Spe 252 / Sp.A 252

CHARIZARD
Life Orb / Blaze / Mild
Flamethrower
Hidden Power Grass
Dragon Pulse
Roost

EVs - HP 6 / Spe 252 / Sp.A 252

BLASTOISE
Leftovers / Torrent / Sassy
Surf
Earthquake
Rapid Spin
Ice Beam

EVs - HP 252 / Def 129 / Sp.D 129

VENUSAUR
Choice Scarf / Overgrow / Sassy
Sleep Powder
Leaf Storm
Earthquake
Sludge Bomb

EVs - 56 HP / 72 Atk / 164 SpA / 216 Spe

I would suggest dropping either Explosion or HP Fire for Thunderbolt on Gengar to give you coverage over Gyarados,Suicune, and Vaporeon. It could also harm Aero.

Drop Snorlax's Giga Impact for a move like Body Slam.

You could also do Return on Snorlax since its 102 BP STAB. Also consider a CurseLax set.

Also I hope Raichu is your lead or don't use Focus Sash.

So I am trying to make the best team based on only using these 6 Pokemon below.

GENGAR
Life Orb / Levitate / Hasty (+ Speed / - Def)
Explosion
Shadowball
Focus Blast
Hidden Power Fire
EVs - 36 Atk / Spe 252 / Sp.A 220

Looks good, but it makes a pretty poor lead currently with Azelf, Metagross, Scarf Jirachi, Aero, Sash Infernape, etc. Also Gengar wants Hasty and a few Attack EVs so Explosion fully OHKOs Blissey.

SNORLAX
Leftovers / Thick Fat / Careful
Rest
Sleep Talk
Body Slam / Return
Earthquake
EVs - HP 244 / Def 148 / Sp.D 118

Body Slam is a lot better as a STAB option because it doesn't make you a sitting duck for set up sweepers, crucial switch ins, etc. Return is another choice for more power, but you lose the paralysis chance.

RAICHU
Focus Sash / Static / Modest
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power Ice
Wish
Thunderwave
EVs - HP 6 / Spe 252 / Sp.A 252

First off, the most common move in the game breaks Sash (Stealth Rock), since Sash only works when at full health. Even with spin support, Leftovers is a more superior item as it keeps Raichu alive so it can keep supporting the team. And if you were to use Wish at least use it on something that can take a hit since I would think you would want your Wish supporter to last. Either way, this is entirely outclassed by Jolteon who does the job better with slightly higher defenses, and a superior Speed stat.

Jolteon @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Speed
Nature: Timid (+ Speed / - Atk)
- Thunderbolt / Discharge
- Substitute
- Wish
- Baton Pass

Switch in on something like Rotom-A, set up a Sub, then Wish, and finally Baton Pass your Sub and the Wish to whatever Pokemon you want. I just maxed out Speed to help outrun +1 Adamant Gyara (which causes your team problems) as well as making a speed tie with Aero and enemy Jolt. You can use T-Wave or other moves in place of Sub and Baton Pass.

However if you choose to use Raichu, use something that Jolteon doesn't learn such as Nasty Plot, Encore, Focus Blast, the ability to run a Grass move (Grass Knot) AND HP Ice, Focus Punch, etc so Raichu isn't completely outclassed.

CHARIZARD
Life Orb / Blaze / Mild
Flamethrower / Fire Blast
Hidden Power Grass
Dragon Pulse / Brick Break / Focus Punch
Roost / Air Slash
EVs - HP 6 / Spe 252 / Sp.A 252

Fire Blast is something to consider for more power, Focus Punch or BB is for Blissey, TTar, etc, and Air Slash for a second STAB option and is useful for stuff like Infernape.

BLASTOISE
Leftovers / Torrent / Relaxed (+ Def / - Speed)
Surf
Earthquake
Rapid Spin
Ice Beam
EVs - HP 252 / Def 252 / Sp.D 4

You should be focusing on your physical defenses where Blastoise works best for walling. Otherwise, I looks ok I guess...

VENUSAUR
Choice Scarf / Overgrow / Modest (+ SpA / - Atk) or Timid (+ Speed / - Atk)
Sleep Powder
Leaf Storm
Earthquake / Power Whip
Sludge Bomb
EVs - 56 HP / 72 Atk / 164 SpA / 216 Spe

Having a Speed lowering nature makes Scarf dead weight on Venu since you're using Scarf to be fast. Consider Power Whip, since Earthquake apparently is only used for Raikou which isn't common in OU.
Comments in bold ↑, might come back to help with threats.

EQ is for Tran too. =P

Anyways, you cant touch Gengar with this team and Heatran isnt a threat to Snorlax or this team so Earthquake isnt needed. Instead use Crunch over it to hit said Gengar and the Rotoms.

Nothing can switch into Tyranitar here, so id look to slot in Machamp probably over Charizard who doesnt really do much.
