back to competitive pokemon

[Poog]

Hi, I use to be into competitive pokemon last summer and I had a team built, Iv bred all 6, ev trained all, and got them to level 100. Well, after a long year of school and work I had to give up pokemon so I could focus on my studies and now I am back, and the team I built is out dated. Two of the pokemon are banned (greninja and aegislash) and my spore/sub breloom just doesnt hold up in pokemon showdown. I just finished playing through Alpha Saphire and I am hoping to make a team. Here is what I have so far through play testing on showdown:
Volcarona (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 136 HP / 252 SpA / 120 Spe
Modest Nature

A couple things:

- Greninja and Aegislash are not banned on-cart and you can use them in Showdown if you play formats built to model on-cart play such as Battle Spot Singles and Battle Spot Doubles.

- I'm guessing by your spreads and choice of moves and items that this team is for Singles. I'd recommend putting Taunt, Will-O-Wisp or Focus Blast on Gengar in place of Giga Drain.

- Don't really see the purpose of Acrobatics on Gliscor, since it won't get the boost from the item you've given to it. I'd swap it out for Knock Off or Roost.

Otherwise everything looks pretty standard. What is your answer to opposing Gengar? You might consider putting Knock Off on Gallade instead of Ice Punch since your team isn't particularly vulnerable to Dragons.

Gliscor is better off as specially defensive nowadays. Even though its Special Defense is normally bad, this makes it better against things like Therian Tornadus and non-Hex Gengar. Gliscor is also seen as a stall breaker, meaning it has no room to fit in Stealth Rock Otherwise, Therian Landorus is the better alternative, as it has Intimidate to weaken physical attackers, while having the freedom to run Stealth Rock:

Gliscor:
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
-Knock Off/Facade
-Roost
Nature: Careful
EVs: 244 HP/8 Def/200 SDef/56 Spe
Item: Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal

or
-Earthquake/Knock Off
-Taunt
-Toxic
-Roost

Therian Landorus:
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide/Knock Off
-U-turn
Nature: Impish

-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Knock Off
-U-turn/Explosion
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 72 HP/252 Atk/184 Spe

Bisharp makes an excellent teammate to Mega Gallade because both beat on each other's counters. Bisharp handles Ghost, Fairy, and Psychic Pokemon, while Gallade handles Fighting Pokemon:
