Ahhh... Let me try to help.

A Pokemon can gain up to 510 in up to 6 different stats (HP, Speed, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense) total. That means the EV points distributed into each of the stats will combine to a total of 510 points.
Now, a single stat can gain up to 252 usable points in it. That means that you can't maximize each stat's points, but you will have to choose how many points to put in a stat out of the 510.
Lets say you give Garchomp 252 points in the attack stat. After you do that, Garchomp's attack stat is completely maxed out in EV points.
So to clarify, the more points you put into a stat, the higher the stat will be. But you are limited to 510 total EV points for all six stats.

To avoid confusion, the actual limit on a single stat's EVs is 255. Most people only invest 252 because that's the highest amount that makes a damn- each four EVs count for a single point, but if you invest 255, you have 3 EVs that don't affect the Poke at all. So, most people put in 252, and put those extra EVs elsewhere (for instance, HP). But that's not particularly important right now.
If you need to know where to put your EVs, it's simple- just look at the Pokemon's base stats. A Pokemon's stats help determine what role it's meant to fill- just invest EVs accordingly. Or just look at clade's previous post (under the "EV Distribution" section.).

Only one problem. You've got no special sweeper or wall. Try two of these.
Alakazam @ (your choice)
Modest
EVs:252sp.atk,252spd,4hp
Psychic
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball
Fire/Ice/Thunderpunch
This is a good spec. sweeper
Here's another
Charizard@ (Your Choice)
Rash/Timid
EVs:same as Kazam
Flamethrower (accuracy over power)
Ancientpower (you will need to breed for this move)
EQ
Dragon Pulse
Or try this one (actually more of a mix. sweep)
Salamence
Rash/Timid
EVs: yet again, same as Kazam
EQ
Dragon Pulse
Shadow Claw
Flamethrower
And here's an good spec, wall
(from Dark_Azelf) Blissey@leftovers
40 HP / 252 DEF / 216 S.DEF
Calm nature
Trait : natural Cure
- Thunderwave
- Seismic Toss
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
Remember, just pick one of the special / mix. sweepers. I am only rating this becausei have been given good advice by others.

Kiddo, your advice still isn't very good...
Flying type moves aren't really necessary unless you really fear Heracross. And even then, Aerial Ace is too weak to really be worth a spot on Sceptile.
Psychic is a waste on Meta, but Hammer Arm still isn't very good- Fighting covers most of the same types as Ground, which he already has (EQ). Pursuit or Bullet Punch would be better options.
Remember, rate with knowledge- know what you're doing. And don't just suggest sets because 'someone told you' it was good.
And anyone else, don't call me a hypocrite for copy-pasting Smogon's sets.

I think a ParaFlinch Togekiss might slot nicely with your team.
Togekiss@Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace important
Bold Nature (+Def -Atk)
EVs: 252 HP 252 Def 4 Spe
Thunder Wave
Air Slash
Aura Sphere
Roost/Wish
This thing is the meaning of annoying. Important that you use Serene Grace or this phails. Paralyze them, and STAB Air Slash and watch them flinch away or be unable to move due to Paralysis. Aura Sphere is for any Rock/Steel/Ice threats, and Roost or Wish to heal if you happen to take any damage.
This is just an idea for an addition to your team. I think it would slot nicely.
