    This is my first and only competitive team im okay with so far and i need help with it. The main idea is too stall and go for the sweep at the end. Please no Hidden Power suggestions those r annoying to get thx.

    Raikou @ Life Orb
    Ability: Pressure
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SpAtk/ 252 Speed/ 4 SpDef
    - Thunderwave
    - Thunderbolt
    - Shadow Ball
    - Calm Mind

    Raikou is the lead and his main purpose is to thunderwave all the foe's pokes. Cause my team is very slow.

    Bronzong @ Lefties
    Ability: Levitate
    Nature: Sassy
    EVs: 252 Def/ 252 SpDef/ 4 HP
    - Reflect
    - Shadow Ball
    - Psychic
    - Calm Mind

    Mainly the late game sweeper if the strategy went well. Reflect is there to thwart physical sweeps for my other pokes.

    Swampert @ Lefties
    Ability: Torrent
    Nature: Brave
    EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 HP/ 4 SpDef
    -Earthquake
    -Hammer Arm
    -Stealth Rock
    -Roar

    Mainly for SR and to stop ability boosting. Hammer arm for the unexpected hit.

    Gliscor @ Lefties
    Ability: Hyper Cutter
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 Def/ 252 Speed/ 4 Atk
    -Earthquake
    -Stone Edge
    -Roost
    -Swords Dance

    Another sweeper with staying power.

    Suicune @ Lefties
    Ability: Pressure
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 252 Def/ 252 SpDef/ 4 HP
    -Hydro Pump
    -Extrasensory
    -Calm Mind
    -Ice Beam

    My ultimate wall since it has pressure to help drain PP. Also a lot of type coverage here.

    Heatran @ Lefties
    Ability: Flash Fire
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 252 SpAtk/ 252 Def/ 4 HP
    -Magma Storm
    -Dragon Pulse
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Stealth Rock

    Just in case the thunderwave doesnt work out to well i burn them to lower atk. Magma storm for the strong STAB and dragon pulse for the occasional dragon. SR as a backup just in case swampert cant get one off.
     
    Awha? This is not stall. This is more of a bulky offensive team. Stall teams have pokes that can lay down entry hazards like toxic spikes and usually have some sort of weather inducer for sandstorm. Idk where it is, but D_A has a nice little checklist of what you should have on your stall team. Stuff like spikers, phasers, spin blockers, that sort of thing. Maybe he'll be a nice elf and post it for you =]

    Regardless, your EVs and movesets need a lot of help. Refer to this page for listings of good movesets to use.

    Don't lead with Raikou. Swampert, Bronzong, or even Gliscor and Heatran can do it better. Swampert is a great lead as it can set up your rocks and then roar out other leads. I've always found it incredibly annoying.

    On a few of your walls...The general rule of thumb is to max out HP first, then the defenses. Maxing out your HP gives you more defensive potential than simple adding them all to defense or special defense. This goes for stuff like your Bronzong and Suicune.

    Your team is also missing some key ingredients, mainly a revenge killer and something with priority. You're going to be outsped by a lot of things if you don't add a choice scarfer with good coverage, which leaves your team vulnerable for an easy sweep.
     
    Actually i had forretress on here but i took it off as a lead cause it was becoming useless. So i replaced it with Raikou.

    This team can wall pretty well its just way to slow sometimes which is the main problem.

    When i set out EV training my pokes i decided that i was going to EV them in a different way than what other people expect. To catch them off guard.
