    ok this team is good... but your lacking a fire and flying/dragon type. my suggestion would be to get a flygon or dragonite and drop the umbreon (since u have gengar) and get a rapidash or magmortar

    No, no, that's not how team building works. You don't put Pokemon on a team based on what type it is (although that is a factor), you put them on based on their roles. Taking out Umbreon because Gengar is on a team is retarded, as they serve very different roles.

    As for what your team needs, it needs another wall. I'd recommend a physical wall- Steelix, Forretress, Skarmory, or Gliscor could help.
     
    But if i put in another wall that leaves me with only one physical sweeper which im pretty sure is not good
     
    Actually, its not bad. You only need 1. You can have more if you want.

    True, which is why you might be better off replacing one of your Special sweepers with a physical sweeper. To be honest, physical sweepers are more valuable than Special sweepers, since all physicals aren't entirely walled by a single Pokemon (Blissey singlehandegly walls just about any special attacker in the game).
     
    She can even block a physical move or two :)
     
    Well, if Vire gets a Motor Drive boost, he can outrun just about anything in the game that's not scarfed, so you might want someone a bit bulkier. If you decide to replace Starmie, maybe you could try Bulkydos.

    Gyarados @ Lefties
    Adamant
    212hp/16atk/180def/100spd
    -Dragon Dance
    -Taunt
    -Waterfall/ Ice Fang
    -Earthquake

    I prefer Ice Fang over Taunt, as Tauntrados is ridiculously easy to wall. ;)
     
    Medicham is a beast:

    Medicham @ Choice Scarf
    Trait: Pure Power
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Brick Break / Hi Jump Kick
    - Psycho Cut
    - Fire Punch / Thunderpunch
    - Ice Punch / Thunderpunch

    I think it was...
     
    I like the sound of medicham but how much recoil damage do you take if hi jump kick misses?
     
    lol Think im going to go with medicham. Anybody know a good ev spread for electivire?
     
    I'm just gonna add, on airconditioning's set, Stone Edge should go over Earthquake, UNLESS you will be easily walled.
     
    You aren't too easily walled if you go with ice fang...but yeah, with waterfall you kinda are...stone edge and EQ form the famous quakeslide combo, which has nice coverage.
     
    With Stone Edge, you don't lose Ice Fang power.

    Gengar @ focus sash
    Evs: 252 Satt, 252 spd, 6 Hp
    Timid
    -shadow ball
    -T-bolt
    -focus blast
    -HP Electric/Grass

    Simply changed the Destiny Bond for HP Electric/Grass. Whichever you choose will be helpful, with HP Electric for those such as Gyarados, and HP Grass for those annoying Tankperts that I so often run into...

    Starmie @ Life orb/ ???
    Evs: 252spd, 252 Satt, 6 hp
    Timid
    -Surf
    -T-bolt
    -ice beam/ psychic
    - Rapid spin

    I'm sorry to say I am not accustomed to starmie, so I cannot give advice here...
    Electivire @ Expert Belt
    Evs: 252 Spd, 176 Atk, 80 Sp. Atk
    Lonely
    -T-bolt
    -Cross chop
    -Earthquake
    -Ice punch

    Standard Vire set, but with Thunderbolt over Thunderpunch for Skarm. 80 Sp. Atk EV's and Lonely nature means that Thunderbolt is stronger than Thunderpunch anyway.


    Bronzong @ Leftovers
    Evs: 252 Hp, 152 Atk, 98 Sp. Def, 8 Def
    Relaxed
    -Stealth Rock/Explosion
    -Gyro Ball
    -Earthquake
    -Hypnosis/Explosion

    With this, you are able to get the most out of your moves. A 0 spd IV and -Speed nature = 63 spd @ lv 100, making it pretty much the slowest thing around. This makes for one massively powerful Gyro Ball, with Explosion there when you are running low on health. (And to take out other annoying walls)

    Umbreon @ Leftovers
    Evs: 252 hp, 129 Def 129 Sdef
    Careful
    -Confuse Ray/Moonlight
    -Yawn
    -Curse/Taunt
    -Confuse Ray/Wish


    Basically, just a staller. Moonlight to recover, although you may not care about that, because you won't be doing any damage. Yawn for that sleep inducer, where you can set up a wish, then Confuse Ray, then switch to heal. Helpful indeed, but you amy want to think about another pokemon other than Umbreon. Milotic is a good option.

    Hopefully this will help.

    regards,
