Hello all! I'm new to the forums and fairly new to Pokemon. So I was wondering if you guys would be able to help me out by critiquing the team I'm using in an upcoming tourney. Thanks!

-Toxic

Dusclops
Nature: Calm
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP, 129 Def, 129 Sp Def
-Mean Look
-Curse
-Night Shade
-Will-O-Wisp

Milotic
Nature: Relaxed
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 Def, 129 HP, 129 Sp Def
-Surf
-Mirror Coat
-Refresh
-Recover

Slaking
Nature: Jolly
Trait: Truant
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Earthquake
-Return
-Facade
-Shadowball

Metagross
Nature: Lonely
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Att, 129 Sp Def, 129 HP

Thanks again!

Skarmory
Nature: Impish
Trait: Keen Eye
EVs: 196 HP / 76 Atk / 216 Def / 20 Spd
-Spikes
-Roar
-Drill Peck
-Rest
Hardy Nature and Special Defense not needed. Skarm is made to be a Physical Tank, and nothing more than that.

Dusclops
Nature: Impish
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 204 HP / 108 Atk / 56 Def / 140 Sp. Def
-Pain Split
-Focus Punch
-Shadow Ball
-Will-O-Wisp
Meh... I'm not really keen on Clops myself, so wait for someone else's help on this...

Milotic
Nature: Bold
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 212 HP / 224 Def / 12 Spd / 60 Sp. Atk
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hypnosis
-Recover
Milotic is all kinds of awesome at taking damage, and that EV Set says so. Hypnosis for sleep. Milotic can't really live to Mirror Coat anything.

Slaking
Nature: Jolly
Trait: Truant
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Earthquake
-Double-Edge
-Focus Punch
-Shadowball
Make sure your item is Choice Band.

Metagross
Nature: Adamant
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 140 HP / 252 Atk / 100 Spd / 16 Sp. Def
-Agility
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-Earthquake
Metagross needs 200 Speed Minimum for optimized Agility Sweeping.

Salamence
Nature: Timid
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Sp Att, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Substitute
-Hidden Power (Electric)
-Hydro Pump
-Flamethrower
Sadly the only thing I can come up with concerning Sp. Sala.

Any tips and suggestions are welcomed. I would like to think that I know what I'm doing, but I REALLY don't.

Thanks again!
Good Pokes, but they had bad Movesets and bad EVs. Might wanna get yourself a Special Tank, mate.

...You need to learn competitive battling before you suggest any movesets.
