Forming first EV team! advise appreciated!

Its good that you've been reading smogon. What I like to do is read that stuff, what other people say, and look at different attacks and options and see how they will work.
 
I am trying to decide between Heatron, Tyranitar, or Tentacruel as my lead pokemon.

Heatron and Tyranitar could lay out stealth rock, while Tentacruel could lay out Toxic Spikes.

If it helps to know, other pokemon in my team so far will be

Blissy - Wall
Starmie - sweeper
Lucario - Sweeper
(probbly)Jolteon - sweeper

Tentacruel can spin don't forget that

im very tempted by the idea of tyranitar because of how powerful he is, and because he can learn stealth rock (which I originally was gonna give to blissey), thus freeing up a move slot for blissey.

Since I am using starmie I figured I could have starmie use spin, or would that be a waste of a move slot?

also a couple random questions, how can i get blissey to learn body slap and or wish? been looking around on the internet but cant seem to find an answer.

Wish is an event move and Body Slam is a 3rd gen tutor move.
 
ah so basically i cant get my blissey to learn wish or body slam..time to rethink moveset for blissey now lol
 
Body Slam sucks on Blissey anyway lol.

Use;

Blissey@Leftovers
80 HP / 252 Def / 176 SDef
Calm Nature
Trait : Natural Cure
- Softboiled
- Thunderwave / Toxic
- Seismic Toss
- Stealth Rock / Flamethrower / Ice Beam / Aromabadtherapy

Put the hp in s.att if you use special moves.
 
ok I am focusing on my blissey's skillset now and have some choices to make.

already decided:
-softboiled
-toxic

contemplating:

-secret power (30% chance to inflict a status on foe depending on terrain). This would be useful for steel types which are immune to poison? and if I understand correctly, nlissey's serene grace "Doubles the chance of an additional effect happening for the Pokemon with Serene Grace's attacks" meaning the chance to inflict status on foe would be 60%?

-flamethrower, for fighting toxic-immune foes

-substitute, for switching in a sweeper who can be protected by blissey-substitute..and 25% of blissey's hp would create quite a nice protection giving sweeper that extra time needed to do its job properly.

can only use two of those skills, and keep in mind sadly i cant learn body slam or wish, so I'm having to be a bit original.

edit: btw my main goal for blissey is of course to be a wall, but also to spread as many status inflictions as possible, and also hopefully be able to smoothly transition to a sweeper at the appropriate time
 
Always have natural cure ability on blissey
While you are dismissing seismic toss, it does always do a flat 100 damage which is really nice against alot of things, lessens the need to predict when they switch out
you can only transfer subs through baton pass lol so a blissey sub isn't a good idea
PLEASE rely on Dark Azelf's help as well as smogon
oh yeah put heal bell on blissey through the move tutor in SS/HG
