Need advice on movesets & EVs for non-legendary team

Crobat looks terrible with shadow ball, try a physical attack and jolly nature. Kingdra...hmmm. Use surf and dragon pulse and ice beam too with agility. For charizard, use SD, steelix is fine, TTar is fine, jolteon is also fine. However, you have no special wall and a fast/strong pokemon with EQ and stone edge would have a field day on this team. A garchomp would tear it apart. I'd take out crobat to add a wall (special) and something that can counter garchomp.
 
How's this:

Calm Blissey@Leftovers w/ Natural Cure: Special Wall
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Special Attack
Light Screen
Softboiled/Dream Eater
Sing
Aromatherapy/Return

I think Kingdra should be able to take out Garchomp after using Agility a couple times, and Steelix could probably take a few hits from it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Steelix can take the hits. It's kingdra. You will die before geting sped up. Return is a BIG no-no on blisseywith 10 base attack i think, which is shuckle's. Softboiled and Aromatherapy stay. Seismic toss is good to inflict damage, and thunder Wave to induce status. There are many variations of bliss. Bold nature and move the SpD EVs into Defense.
 
That's exactly why I put return on Blissey, because the power is determined not by the Pokemon's attack but by how much it likes the trainer, unless the Attack stat of the Pokemon still influences the power of the move in which case, yeah, I'll definitely remove it :P

Edit: Do you think Jolteon would be able to Baton Pass speed to Kingdra?
 
Good idea on BPing speed. Return's base power is 102 when the pokemon loves you completely, but attcak is still factored in, so use ice beam or seismic toss. BP speed to kingdra and you might just have a chomp counter, depending on if he can take the hit, though dragon claw is a OHKO.
 
Saweet, so the rest of the team is good? Here's the next revision:

Adamant Charizard@Salac Berry with Blaze: Physical Sweeper
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Fire Punch
Brick Break
Swords Dance
Aerial Ace

Calm Blissey@Leftovers with Natural Cure: Special Wall
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Special Attack
Light Screen
Dream Eater/Softboiled
Sing
Aromatherapy/Ice Beam

Jolly Tyranitar@Salac Berry with Sand Stream: Physical Sweeper
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Defense
Dragon Dance
Taunt
Earthquake
Stone Edge

Relaxed Steelix@Leftovers with Rock Head: Physical Wall
EVs: 252 Defense, 252 HP, 6 Attack
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Gyro Ball
Rest

Timid Jolteon@Salac Berry with Volt Absorb: Baton Passer
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 6 HP
Agility
Thunder Wave/Substitute
Baton Pass
Thunderbolt

Modest Kingdra@Scope Lens/Wisdom Glasses with Sniper: Special Sweeper
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 6 Special Defense
Dragon Pulse
Surf
Ice Beam
Agility

I put Aerial Ace on Charizard for Heracross, it's 400% effective plus it gets STAB.
 
Blissey is still not right:

Blissey@Leftovers
Bold Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Defense
~Aromatherapy
~Seismic Toss
~Thunder Wave
~Softboiled

That's a good blissey set. The rest looks pretty good.
 
I can't get Seismic Toss on Blissey because I don't have Emerald or Leaf Green, and since Blissey is a Special Wall then I'll probably want a nature that raises Special Defense. What move would you recommend to put over Seismic Toss?

Edit: Is it possible to baton pass a substitute? Because of it is then I could have Jolteon BP that and speed to Charizard, so that Charizard could use Belly Drum. Good idea or no?

Give Blissey Ice Beam as her special attack. Bliss is already so resistant to special attacks it doesn't need the EVs, it need them in Defense to survive physical sweepers, her only weakness.
 
Well if they bring out a physical sweeper than I can bring out a physical wall. Blissey's base defense is only 10 so even if I do max out the EVs it still won't be that great, and it wouldn't really be worth it for a 119 max defense. Since Blissey is a special wall then I'll train her to be a special wall.
 
What I'm saying is it is already so unbeatable as a special wall, 116 defense isn't too bad with 714 HP.You never know when trickery is coming...
 
Well thanks for all your help, it's really helped me with my team and now I'm better at building teams than I was before:P Do you know about the EVs thing or about Baton Passing a substitute? Because if I could get 24 EVs on one Pokemon and 12 EVs on another just for battling one Golbat then that would make it a lot easier, and I think baton passing a substitute with Jolteon would make a great strategy.
 
Sorry, forgot about that. I'm 90% sure you can, but to be safe I'd ask someone else.
 
I googled "subpasser" and it is possible. Yay. How about the EVs thing? I also made myself a trainer card with my team-to-be:rambo:
