You rang? :p Btw, if psypoke is down, use

blaziken- double kick, sky uppercut, overheat, blaze kick
Newbie Mistake: Having a flamethrower, Fire spin, Fire blast, Fire punching Charizard is NOT invincibility. It's stupidity.
Ok, let's start with Blaziken. The dude with the big big hitting and meh meh everything else. No items? That's a bad thing. Overstocking on same type moves? That's pointless too. Let's get rid of Double kick, Blaze kick. A neutral personality won't be fun. Go with Adamant(Explain in a moment). Stick Bulk up over Double kick. What good is Kicking if you have uppercut? Make use of Bulky's def Up, and attach a salac berry, and stick Rock slide over Blaze kick. Rock would run off your attack, Salac will give you extra speed right when you finish bulking up cuz you're almost dead, and Overheat will run off your subtracted spA from adamant to still deal moderate damage, but mainly used for Skarm. Adamant would power up your attack, meaning you do more damage quicker.
Eg of EV distro: (HP, atk, def, spe, spA, spD)
16-152-0-200-142-0
305-345-176-246-261-176
latios- luster purge, dragon claw, fly, psykick
Newbie Mistake: Fly does not "rock". You fly, they switch, you hit on NVE, they pwn on switch. Worse off, they switch when you fly, they ice beam right after you come down, and you die.
Latios, unlike his just as weird looking sister, learns Dragon dance. This means that unlike Latias, it might be a physical attacker as opposed to the special sweeper on your team.
So, making use of Dragon dance...
Dragon dance, Hidden power Rock, Earthquake, Recover @ Lum berry.
The dangers of Physical, of course, is Will-o-Wisp, and for recover, Toxic. Lum will give you that one free turn, perhaps to set up to kill. HP rock will kill most things Quake won't do much to, too lazy to find exceptions right now.
Eg of EV distro:
148-236-60-64-0-0
338-302-211-272-266-256
Alternatively, make it the same set as Latias, only its special Attack would be higher, its defense lower.
latias- same as latios
Obviously, as said above, Latias can't learn purging from its older brother, and let's not even get into "what if incest occurs" scenerios.
Great, the little ugly thingy that no one likes due to Soul dew. So, as usual, ditch Soul dew to start.
Calm mind, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Recover @ lum berry/Leftovers (or shell bell).
Calm mind powers up bolt and Psychic (note spelling, unless your gameboy spelt it wrong too, in which case you can take it to the shop and ask for a refund, hrhr). Recover to get back HP, and lum will cure toxic, for one turn, hopefully it'd be enough. Leftovers/Shell bell is like recover jr.
Modest is the ability to go here for hard hits, while Timid would be of choice for speed.
eg of EV distro:
166-0-16-216-112-0
342-176-220-310-312-296
rayquaza- extreme speed, thunder, surf, dive
Newbie Mistake: Thunder has no place on something that doesn't lack SpA, and Dive has no place on anything not called Ludicolo.
Here, the massive stupid looking Digimon look-alike can shine, but not before others make fun of you to death first. of the 4 pokemon you're using, already 3 are legendary/uber borderline. Luckily for you, we're not battling you. Ray has one gigantic advantage: the "Holy crap what the **** were they thinking" sickness. In other words, its stat distribution are just sick. It can do either Special OR physical sweeping, and is one of the few pokemon who can actually do both... at the same time efficiently. Of course, being overrun by special attackers already (assuming you made Latios a special sweeper, because you have enough physical attackers to follow), make Ray your really cool Dragon dancer! (Adamant, of course)
Dragon dance, Hidden power Rock/Flying, Earthquake, Flamethrower/Rest@ Lum berry.
The dangers of Physical, of course, is Will-o-Wisp, and for recover, Toxic. Lum will give you that one free turn, perhaps to set up to kill. HP rock will kill most things Quake won't do much to, but flying gets that yummy STAB. your call here. Flamethrower, of course, is for Steel, aka Skarmory. Rest, on the other hand can cure any side effects you suffer, and let you rest up before a sweep. If resting, Chesto berry would work better.
Eg of EV distro:
148-236-60-64-0-0
388-434-231-242-302-216
flygon- sand-attack, faint attack, earthquake, crunch
Newbie MistakeFaint attack + Crunch = pointless, especially on something that doesn't even do well with either.
Ahem, this isn't a joke, right? Good, didn't think so. Flygon, unfortunately, suffers from the "OMFG I AM A LOSER ON LEGEND TEAM" syndrome. In other words, unless you can find a decent reason for it to stay, ditch it. And as of now, I see no reason for it to stay. Unless, of course, you enjoy getting swept by Ice beams.
On the other hand, your team has NO pokemon that can last. Seriously. Perhaps a skarmory? You need a reliable Pseudohazer anyways.
Spikes, Roar, Rest, Drill peck/Toxic
Of course, Spikes and roar are "duh, of course" moves on Skarm. Rest is for the stalling aspect, which is why I often use Toxic as opposed to Dpeck (more EVs for defense, no EVs needed for attack). I use a Careful nature (+SpD, -spA)
Eg of EV distro:
252-0-70-0-0-188
334-196-333-276-104-245
In other words, this is the set with toxic, not drill peck. It stalls, takes hits for you, rests, and stuff. Go nuts. With drill peck, you figure it out, I don't drill on a 196 attack. ever.
salamence- headbutt, scary face, fire blast, dragonbreath
Newbie Mistake: Scary face is NOT a strategic move. Dragon dance, on the other hand, is.
Another ice beam prone pokemon. That means, the moment Blaziken goes "cya later", Rejice comes out, fires 5 beams, and wins the game. yeah, seriously. As well, It's a nice combo, Face with Butt (ha ha, bad joke), but seriously though. "Scary face! Ice beam! You die! no butt!" Hence, we go for something a little more lasting. Since you already should have 2 physical and 2 special sweepers, make this like a potpourri thing, or just switch it for a more defensive pokemon.
Flamethrower, Earthquake/Dragon Claw, Aerial Ace, Brick Break. Sweeper style material. Of course, all the Salamences I've ever used were dragon dancers (my only, though), but give this thing a hardy perso, and a lum berry or Salac berry, and it should do some damage.
Eg ev distro:
160-118-0-156-76-0
371-335-196-275-275-196
Of course, more Speed and less SpA might be useful too, in which case get the berry that gives +Atk as opposed to salac berry, perhaps. In any case, it would be a decent all around sweeper, though not excelling at anything nor everything.
======================================
Rating:
- First off, you used Lati@s along with Ray. that's 2 borderline and 1 uber material.
- Next, Salamence and Flygon, an extra 4x ice weakness, bringing your total to 10x.
- Starting with a sweeper, thought not a great one. (-)
- No synergy whatsoever. Your team is based on "omfg I have the stats you nub with your strategy can go shove it" which is in itself, a bad strategy, but worse when paired with...
- Movesets are questionable, and to be honest, they pretty much suck.
10x ice weakness... If was rating out of 100, that alone would make me -70.
Bad moveset... I'd take off another 70-80.
Legendary overload, especially when they're bad combination, - 30
No strat whatsoever... -10
If I was rating this team, it'd get at
MOST -90/100.
Also, Frosty and Spike knows lots. Learn from them.
