    My team gets kill by just about anything..

    The only Pokemon that last are Empoleon and Rapidash. The rest get slaughtered..

    I didn't pay attention to EVs or natures and they're all level 70..

    Empoleon
    No Item
    Ice Beam
    Grass Knot
    Flash Cannon (useless imo)
    Surf

    Rapidash
    No Item
    Will-O-Wisp
    Megahorn
    Flamethrower
    Return

    Blissey
    Shell Bell
    Thunderbolt
    Ice Beam
    Softboiled
    Calm Mind

    Golem
    Quick Claw
    Stone Edge
    Earthquake
    Stealth Rock
    Explosion

    Staraptor
    No Item
    Close Combat
    Brave Bird
    Roost
    U-Turn

    Roserade (definately my worst)
    Miracle Seed
    Sunny Day
    Solarbeam
    Shadow Ball
    Weather Ball

    What should I change to make my team better? I don't care if you recommend a new team. This one is really bad though..
     
    For flash cannon, give empoleon agility, and EV train your pokemon for maximum results.
     
    I don't see how agility could be useful. Say I use agility to make me faster than my opponent and then start attacking it makes no difference, because the turn used boosting speed may aswell have been used attacking.

    If that made sense..
     
    But either way in 2 turns i'll hit one attack so unless I OHKO them I will die..

    And it's not for competative really. I play my friends sometimes..
     
    Empoleon can't OHKO many things. You say agility is wasting a turn when you could be attacking. No. Let's say a dragonite comes out. You use agility and it uses Dragon Dance. You then use ice beam to OHKO it. Now gengar comes out, armed with the dangerous thuserbolt and focus blast, both lethal to empoleon. But, you have speed now, and you attack first and take out gengar with surf, or do lots of damage. If you hadn't used agility, then you would've gotten sausaged, but no, you had the speed to take it out. No offese, but your team isn't very strategic. No true walls barring blissey.
     
    And what if Dragonite uses thunderbolt??

    And what Pokemon should I replace with what??
     
    Tough luck. No D-nite has it, but usually thunder instead. It may not OHKO you, or it may miss. It was just an example. My point is that attack moves are abused on this team. You have enough attackers, scrap CMblissey for:

    Blisset@Leftovers
    Trait: Natural Cure
    Bold Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Defense
    ~Seismic Toss
    ~Aromatherapy
    ~Softboiled
    ~Thunder Wave

    Now you have some form of defensive strategy...
     
    I want that Blissey but I don't have FR or LG so I can't get seismic toss =\
     
    Well, if it isn't competative, then it doesn't really matter, but if you want to kick your friends butts, then you should consider Ev training. No scratch that. EV training is a must in competative battling. Do your friends EV train? No of mine do, and I wipe the floor with them.

    Get some nice items. Yours are pretty bad.

    Blissey is useless unless you EV train it.

    Lose Return on Rapidash for Poison Jab or even Facade.

    Golem is nice for a Golem. It should have Leftovers or Life Orb.

    Staraptor is fine. It should have something like Focus Sash.

    Roserade should probably have Life Orb or Scope Lens or something.
     
    Then use ice beam. Simple. Seismic toss is better though...
     
    I prefer having thunderbolt and ice beam than just one, because they cover almost all types.

    And I think I need a whole new Roserade moveset, cuz I use sunny day and then I get hit with a fire, ice or flying attack.
     
    Sigh...Blissey isn't a boltbeamer...just use ice beam, it's the best option w/o SToss. Miracle seed...never again. Those kind of items suck.
     
    I don't have any good items.. =\

    And against fire, water or ice Blissey's got nothing
     
    You are missing the point. Blissey IS NOT AN ATTACKER. So what if it can't beat fire types. How many of those do we see? Ice? A few...and lots of waters...blissey is a wall, so that doesn't matter. If you are THAT concerned about inflicting damage, give the dang thing toxic...though that's a stupid idea. It's called a wall for a reason.
     
    Oooh. Toxic? Sounds like a good idea to me ^^

    Is there any way to get Aromatherapy without getting an egg? Cuz I don't feel like getting another Blissey to level 70 just for one move..

    If not what other move could I use?
     
    Listen here. The blissey set I posted earlier is the ONLY set that would do anything for your team. Breed for aromatheray, IVs, bold nature and EV train. It's a MUST. Toxic is no good because the opponent sends out their heal beller to wipe out the status, therfore is rendered useless. You gotta trust me on this.
     
    But my friends have ridiculous tactics.

    Like Roar Of Time spam. >_>
     
    Then you embarass them even more. Blissey totally walls that, and can just use softboiled during the resting turn...but if they're so easy, why are you asking for help. Sounds like you'd blow right through them...
     
    Because they're 20 levels higher than me and it's annoying when they say they're better. <_<
