    This might work. I dunno, I've never used Jynx before.

    Any changes to pokemon, moves or natures PLEASE let me know.

    I'm new to Netbattle team's strategies, I've only had my Pokemon games for experience and there is no MAJOR strategy in them.

    Well, your team is ok, though if this is for Netbattle, then be really careful. One mistake with Choice Band is enough and your pokemon will faint. Watch out for Shadow Ball and Earthquake, those moves can destroy your whole team. It's ok if you wanted to assemble a team only of psychic types, though it might not be a good decision to use this team for Netbattle then. Well anyway, hope this helps and good luck.
     
    Ok Thanks for the suggestions; Alakazam was supposed to Trick Band though so I'll just switch the item and replace Trick with something else. Probably though will never use this team for anything though except a mono tournie.
     
    While I was making the changes, it says that Starmie doesn't learn Calm Mind...

    I put Confuse Ray on it instead because of that. It's wierd though, all Psychics should have Calm Mind
