For starters no Shedinja, not now, not ever. And how can we judge your team without movesets or anything?

What does Kingdra absorb?

The others are justified through elemental absorbing abilities, or typing or abilities which enable them to void (not absorb) things, but I don't see why Kingdra is there.

There is nothing wrong with Shedinja Jaws, not everyone uses Tyranitar, and a LOT of people seem to stick to standards, most of which can't touch Sheddy (The infamous Boltbeam combination can't do jack to him :P)

If you can't justify why Kingdra should be there, consider using something else, to fit into the Tetrasorb team.

I understand Tetra simply means the 3 (Fire/Water/Electric), but since you are only 1 pokemon away why not make an entire Void team?

I know, he has awesome typing, it's just that he isn't immune to anything..

But hey, it's a Tetrasorb team, you only need 3 absorbers for that :P

The movesets would help a lot, but I'll try my best to analyze this team. Jolteon should be the opener as he's your fastest poke and can get a free sub to baton pass on the switch. (If you give him Agility instead of Substitute, he'll be even better than Ninjask since it's unpredictable, but I'd suggest sticking with sub)

Shedinja should be used early on (perhaps #2 as a sub from jolteon can be very useful) since Spikes and Sandstorm are its worst enemies.

Houndoom and Gengar don't really go well together since both are special sweepers, but I guess you could make Gengar a mixed sweeper (like McGar/McIceGar) to counter Skarmory and Blissey. Houndoom is nice because it has Flash Fire (great in conjunction with Shedinja), and Gengar has 3 immunities making it useful for a voiding team.

I'm not sure if Poliwrath is the best physical sweeping Water Absorber, but it might work. I don't know enough about it to comment on it.

Kingdra is a no. It doesn't go with your "void" theme. Tetrasorb, Wonder Guard, and three immunities all fit, but Kingdra doesn't have anything like that. If you want a good type combo team instead, you could consider Sableye :P

I see a bit of potential in this team, but you need to work out all the kinks and make everything fit smoothly with everything else. Good luck and take care.

P.S. I once read that a good "tetrasorb" team should have a special sponge and a rapid spinner since you will be switching a lot.

maybe a good ground type. they are immune 2 electric, and have good def. maybe steelix, he is immune 2 poison, toxic, and electric, and like they said, u need a good def tank. i sugg for steelix: hp steel, eq, roar (pseudohazer), double edge, or w/e u want: other possiblities are: foretress (it can rapid spin like he said, and also spike), and umbreon... i think u may want umbreon as your first, then bp sub, since it goes last and it wont break as easily as jolteon's would before it gets passed to shedinja. also consider quagsire, 2 immunities, can learn roar and haze, etc.
also maybe scizor first: sdance, and agility, bp, sub/swind. u can give shedinja the speed it desperately needs, give it attack, and possibly more w/ swind (altho no other stats will make a difference except maybe special attack if its mixed), or bp sub
for sedhinja: bp, sball, swind, protect. this way if sum1 sends out a fire pokemon or anything good vs shedinja, then u can bp ur stats w/o having to lose them.
also consider ninjask for bp speed/attack and possibly sub

I think Quaggy would do well in a team like this, he can Focus Punch as well :P

I know Kingdra has great typing, just that he doesn't fit the Void theme.

But considering it's a TETRASORB theme team, you only need Fire, Elecectric, and Water covered, which you've already done.
