Can you rate my team?

[olih]

I was training my Platinum team to be a competitive/strategic team. I was wondering if anyone could make any suggestions. I mainly need another move for Torterra. Thanks!
Actually, I haven't evolved some of these Pokemon yet. I'm still training for them to get some of their moves. That's why I listed their final forms before, because that's what they're eventually going to be. I'm going to put what Pokemon they are now, though. And I didn't put some of your suggestions up because I still need to change the movesets. As soon as I change some of the moves I want, I'll try to update it.

Thunder, Grass Knot, Rain Dance, Toxic
@ Damp Rock
Ability: Static
lvl 33
Quiet Nature
I wanted Pikachu to be my main striker, because it has pretty high speed, and has powerful attacks.
HP: Attack: 38
Defense: 38
Sp. Attk: 49
Sp. Def: 34
Speed: 65

Psychic, Psycho Shift, Silver Wind, Fly
@ Toxic Orb
Ability: Early Bird
lvl 37
Gentle Nature
This guy will be my Special Attacker. Also holding the Toxic Orb because then I can use Psycho Shift to Poison the other Pokemon.
HP: 106
Attack: 71
Defense: 57
Sp. Attk: 85
Sp. Def: 75
Speed: 83

Slash, Faint Attack, Protect, Facade
@ Toxic Orb
Ability: Guts
lvl 34
Hardu Nature
With Guts, Toxic Orb, and Facade, I have a pretty good strategy worked out, especially since Ursaring has high Attack anyways.
HP: 107
Attack: 96
Defense: 63
Sp. Attk: 57
Sp. Def: 66
Speed: 49

Bite, Giga Drain, Razor Leaf
@ Focus Sash
Ability: Overgrow
lvl 26
Careful Nature
With the Focus Sash, I hope to have Grotle to be able to withstand powerful attacks like Hyper Beam. The idea is to restore Grotle's HP to full with Giga Drain, then Focus Sash will let it withstand Hyper Beam.
HP:79
Attack: 53
Defense: 55
Sp. Attk: 35
Sp. Def: 50
Speed: 33

Surf, Slam, Mud Bomb, Amnesia
@ Expert Belt
Ability: Water Absorb
lvl 30
Adamant Nature
Quagsire is an attack soaker. Water Absorb might help with some attacks, but I also have Amnesia to back it up a little. It still has some attacking moves, but I'm probably not as concerned with strategic movesets as I am with others, like Pikachu.
HP: 103
Attack: 67
Defense: 59
Sp. Attk: 41
Sp. Def: 45
Speed: 26

Sunny Day, Flamethrower, Flame Wheel, Dig
@ Charcoal
Ability: Blaze
lvl 28
Timid Nature
I had to have a Fire Type (I just had to), so here it is. Quilava to counter the 4x weakness Quagsire has against Grass, and also Fire Types are effective sweepers in my experience.
HP: 73
Attack: 38
Defense: 41
Sp. Attk: 53
Sp. Def: 50
Speed: 63

you need to move this to the competitive forum as this is just in game but id give Torterra earthquake

Ok a few things you will need to get a team rate.

Natures
EV's

Secondly when it comes to a team rate we like to see some creativity and explanation

for example:

A nice sprite, you don't have to but it looks nice.
Pokemon 1 @ Item holding
Nature w/ SpA 252/ Sp 252 / HP 6
- Move 1
- Move 2
- Move 3
- Move 4
Comments: Why am I using him. Why I like him. Why I use that item. What he counters. Ect.

Most likely this will get locked not moved. I hope you can learn from this post on how to do a better team rate :D


Rate: :-\ (at a glance)

Your running two different types of weather, each weather is actually really only helping two pokemon on your team. Generally if your aiming to use a weather you want it to benefit your entire team, and weather teams really only have limited success at best. And thats using them with abilities like swift swim, or using sandstorm to grind down speedy sweepers against walls. Secondly all your pokemon are out classed by other pokemon who do the same jobs your current pokemon do but with more speed and attack power.

This can't be rated in competitive standards because he doesn't have the EVs and Natures listed.

I'll see what I can do with your movesets, though. My coments will be in BOLD:

Raichu:
Thunder/Thunderbolt, Nasty Plot, Rain Dance/Hidden Power Ice, Focus Blast/Substitute
Holding Damp Rock

Thunder + Rain Dance isn't a bad combo, but Thunderbolt + Hidden Power Ice gets excellent Super Effective coverage. Consider Substitute as it can help Raichu get off a Nasty Plot. Keep in mind you have to breed a Pichu to get Nasty Plot.

Xatu:
Psychic, Calm Mind, Roost/Wish, Air Cutter*
Holding Toxic Orb
Calm Mind boosts your SpAtk, with Roost or Wish for recovery. Wish might be more effective in keeping your other pokemon healthy. Air Cutter is a secondary STAB move.

*Battle Frontier Move Tutor

Ursaring:
Swords Dance, Faint Attack, Fire Punch*, Facade
Holding Flame Orb
Not too bad, but I'd suggest the Toxic Orb instead. If you do Wish on Xatu, Wish can help keep Ursaring alive longer. You don't want the burn from the Flame Orb to decrease your Atk stat. Fire Punch hits Steel Types that otherwise wall this set.

*Battle Frontier Move Tutor

Torterra:
Wood Hammer*, Earthquake, Synthesis, Leech Seed/Stealth Rock
Holding Focus Sash
Stealth Rock is always helpful in competitve battles. Wood Hammer and Earthquake are your best STAB moves, and Synthesis is instant recovery. Put Torterra in your lead position so that you can get off SR as quick as possible.

*Pastoria City move tutor. Requires Heart Scale

Quagsire:
Waterfall, Earthquake, Toxic, Ice Punch**/Recover*
Holding Expert Belt

*Must Breed
**Battle Frontier Move Tutor

Quagsire makes a much better physical attacker or support pokemon. Toxic spreads status, while Earthquake and Waterfall are your best STAB moves. Ice Punch hits grass types and Recover heals.

Typhlosion:
Sunny Day, Flamethrower, Solarbeam, Focus Blast
Holding Heat Rock

Solarbeam + Sunny Day means Solarbeam doesn't need to charge. Focus Blast is better than Dig, as Earthquake is extremely popular and does double damage if the pokemon is underground. Heat Rock to increase Sunny Day's active duration.

Hope that helped. Again, to make this a truly competitive team, list the Natures and EVs of your pokemon.

Valaruca gave some info on that. Smogon also has decent articles to look through.

Thanks for the suggestions. If there's anything else I should add, just tell me.
