I have lost four battles in a row with this team...

    I posted this on one of the sticky threads and was told I had put it in the wrong place, so here it is in its own thread:

    Can anyone give me some advice on my team? Currently it is:

    Gallade, Adamant @ Big Root
    *Psycho Cut
    *X-Scissor
    *Drain Punch
    *Swords Dance

    Gyarados, Jolly @ Splash Plate
    *Earthquake
    *Waterfall
    *Ice Fang
    *Dragon Dance

    Mismagius, Modest @ Spooky Plate
    *Shadow Ball
    *Psychic
    *Magical Leaf
    *Calm Mind

    Alakazam, Modest @ Mind Plate [My favorite :)]
    *Psychic
    *Shock Wave (Might be Focus Blast soon)
    *Calm Mind
    *Recover (Might be Energy Ball soon)

    Tyranitar, Adamant @ Dread Plate
    *Earthquake
    *Crunch
    *Rock Slide
    *Toxic

    Glaceon, Modest @ Icicle Plate
    *Ice Beam
    *Shadow Ball
    *Water Pulse
    *Hail (To make use of its Snow Cloak ability)

    ... and I have been beaten 4 times in a row...

    The people I battled mostly said that I lacked speed, although this is probably because I have only half EV trained them; i.e. each one has only its ATK or SPATK stat EV trained.

    They also said that my team was a bit 1-Dimensional, as you maybe able to tell my favorite types are Psychic, Ghost and Dark - if I thought I could get away with it i would just use those 3 types...

    Anyway could someone either give me an example of a good team (Probably a good idea to include Alakazam as he is my fav ;)), or just give me some general advice?

    I do have other 'half EV trained' pokemon:
    Flygon, Salamence, Leafeon, Lucario, Houndoom, Umbreon, Jolteon, Typhlosion, Gengar, Spiritomb, Rotom and Kingdra.

    And some that I will probably EV train at some point:
    Dragonite, Heracross, Beldum, Infernape, Staraptor and Elekid.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
