    Ok, so I would consider myself new to the competitive battling scene. I have played around on pokemon showdown a bit and had some luck. I understand the basics IV's EV's Walls Sweepers ect...
    So I have been testing out a team on Pokemon showdown and it seems to work pretty well and I wanted to get some input from other people who actually know what they are doing.

    Breloom @ Focus Sash
    Jolly 252 Att 4 Def 252 Spe
    Spore
    Swords Dance
    Bullet Seed
    Mach Punch
    Breloom will be my lead poke.

    Goodra @ Assault Vest
    Calm 252 HP 252 SpD 252 SpA
    Dragon Pulse
    Sludge Wave
    Thunder Bolt
    Focus Blast

    Aegislash @ Life Orb
    Adamant 252 HP 252 Atk 4 Spe
    Swords Dance
    King's Shield
    Shadow Sneak
    Iron Head

    Gengar @ Black Sludge
    Timid 4 Def 252 SpA 252 Spe
    Substitute
    Shadow Ball
    Sludge Bomb
    Will-o-Wisp

    Blastoise @ Blastoiseinite
    Modest 252 HP 252 SpA 4 Spe
    Water Pulse
    Aura Sphere
    Dark Pulse
    Rapid Spin
    I know it seems silly to put rapid spin on here but I have been enjoying it, I may change this.

    Dragonite @ Lum Berry (Possibly do Leftovers here I can't decide)
    Adamant 252 Atk 4 SpD 252 Spe
    Dragon Dance
    Outrage
    Roost
    Fire Punch

    What do you guys think?
     
    You can't have 252 EVs in 3 stats. That's impossible. Assault Vest Goodra should look like this:
    -Draco Meteor
    -Fire Blast/Flamethrower
    -Dragon Tail/Power Whip
    -Thunderbolt/Sludge Bomb
    Nature: Quiet/Sassy
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 SAtk
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

    Mega Blastoise is one of the best bulky Rapid Spinners at the moment, so I'd keep Rapid Spin if I were you.

    I'd use Magnezone over Goodra or Dragonite because it has good synergy with either one. That, and being walled by other Steels is bad:
    -Thunderbolt
    -Volt Switch
    -Flash Cannon
    -Hidden Power (Ice/Fire)
    Nature: Modest/Timid
    EVs: 172 HP/252 SAtk/84 Spe (Modest) or 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe (Timid)
    Item: Choice Specs (Modest)/Choice Scarf (Timid)
    Ability: Magnet Pull

    or
    -Substitute
    -Thunderbolt
    -Charge Beam/Flash Cannon
    -Hidden Power (Ice/Fire)
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Leftovers/Salac Berry
    Ability: Magnet Pull
