I've been working on this team for a while, working out the kinks, weaknesses, etc.

It's meant to be a speed/attack team. This team is also for B/W. All have been cured of Pokerus.

I can see the problems in nature, moves, EVs, and abilities. I'm still working on it, but I wanted to see what you thought so far.
"Life is so wonderful, Life is so beautiful, just smile, no one gets out alive."
"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."
"Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die."

"A man said to the universe,
'Sir! I exist!'
'However,' replied the universe,
'the fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.'

You'll need to get a hold of some EV-reducing berries or breed up new Pokemon, I'm afraid. Never use neutral natures in competitive play because they don't do anything for the Pokemon's stats.

Dragonite does defensive sets better. A Brave nature wastes away Salamence's good Speed:
-Outrage
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Aqua Tail
Nature: Naive/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf
Abiliyt: Moxie

or
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Hydro Pump
Nature: Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry

or
-Draco Meteor
-Outrage
-Fire Blast
-Earthquake
Nature: Naive
EVs: 64 Atk/192 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

Giga Impact is a terrible move competitively, as it leaves you a sitting duck. Timid is also terrible on Garchomp because it has good Attack, and you're wasting it away:
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang/Aqua Tail/Fire Blast
-Dragon Claw/Dual Chop
Nature: Jolly/Naive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band/Choice Scarf

or
-Stealth Rock
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Swords Dance
Nature: Naive/Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash

or
-Swords Dance
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang/Aqua Tail/Substitute
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Yache Berry/Haban Berry/Leftovers/Salac Berry

or
-Stealth Rock
-Dragon Claw/Dragon Tail
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Aqua Tail/Protect
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 HP/196 Def/60 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Staraptor is too frail for using status moves like Toxic. It's better off all-out attacking. Fly is too easily played around to be worth using:
-Double-Edge/Return/Quick Attack
-Brave Bird
-Close Combat
-U-turn
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf/Choice Band

or
-Brave Bird
-Close Combat
-Double-Edge/Return/U-turn
-U-turn/Roost
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Sharp Beak

Rhyperior is terrible in OU because even though Solid Rock compensates for its common weaknesses, its Special Defense is still a problem. If you insist on using it, use Solid Rock as the ability; Lightning Rod is useless on it:
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Rock Blast
-Dragon Tail
Nature; Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/16 Atk/244 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Solid Rock

or
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Megahorn
-Ice Punch/Rock Blast
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 96 HP/252 Atk/160 Spe
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Solid Rock

or
-Rock Polish
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Megahorn
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Solid Rock

Special moves are not worth using on Gyarados because of its low Special Attack. The thing I said about Giga Impact also applies to Hyper Beam. Even though Bounce suffers from the same issues as Fly, it's Gyarados' only Flying STAB, so it can get away with using it:
-Substitute/Taunt
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Bounce
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 88 HP/248 Atk/4 Def/168 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Bounce
-Earthquake/Stone Edge
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry

or
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Waterfall
-Roar/Dragon Tail
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate

Lucario should stick to physical attacking. While it can go the special route, its Mega form does that better in X/Y, but this isn't X/Y:
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-ExtremeSpeed
-Ice Punch/Crunch/Shadow Claw/Bullet Punch
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

-Salamence w/Lum Berry or Life Orb
Nature: Hasty/Naive
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Moves: Dragon Dance, Outrage/Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Fire Fang/Aqua Tail

or

-Salamence w/Life Orb
Nature: Hasty/Naive
Ability: Intimidate/Moxie
EVs: 64 Attack, 192 Sp.Attack, 252 Speed
Moves: Draco Meteor, Outrage/Dragon Claw, Fire Blast, Earthquake

Thanks for all the tips guys :D This team is pure. There not breeded or trained for EVs. I haven't gotten to the point of breeding them over and over and over. I knew something was weird about Staraptors move set, but I couldn't figure out what was.
