edit: Earthquake is ALWAYs a good move. Pretty good, but trading would make this even better, as Swords Dance > Bulk Up; Groudon sponges off physical attacks anyway. Rock Slide wouild be pretty cool over AP as well. Fire Blast might be cooler on this since Groudon will be staying in a few turns while trying to use bulk up. other than that good.

Bellossom
Sleep Powder
Solarbeam
Protect / Substitute
Toxic

yea....

Blaziken
Flamethrower
Sky Uppercut
Rock Slide / Filler
Bulk Up

Flamethrower SHOULD be level up, but otherwise its a TM that it can learn. Sunny Day is not needed since Groudon is here. Rock Slide is basically essential on all Fighting types to kick flying type ***.

need help with items and traits.

Generally they should all be leftovers, but you can place Body Slam or Return over Bulk Up on Groudon and give it Choice Band. I suggest a Water/Ice type to absorb the Ice Beams that your opponent now has to use since Surf's damage is cut down. Other than that, thick fat users, chlorophyll users and fire types are standard.

Hmm, only three Pokemon, so Battle Tower? But you can't use Groudon in the Battle Tower. If it's not for the BT, then the team is only half-complete.

Groundon
Nature: Adamant
Earthquake
Overheat
Ancient Power
Bulk Up

Without trading, this is the best you'll get. Maybe Rest somewhere on there since your team relies on Groudon and you'll be switching it in a lot.

Bellossom
Nature: Modest
Moonlight
Solarbeam
Protect
Sleep Powder

I don't like Toxic stalling at all. Sleep Powder is a superior status move. Also, I prefer Vileplume as the sunny beamer because Vileplume has a higher Special Attack. Plus it gets a STAB Sludge Bomb so you can take care of enemy Grass types.

Blaziken
Nature: Lonely or Naughty
Flamethrower
Sky Uppercut
Sunny Day
Bulk Up

Flamethrower is only obtained through TM, since Blaziken's only strong Fire move is Blaze Kick. Not bad, but really, no need for sunny day. Just switch in Groudon (it'll last longer with Rest). You can even give it Quick Attack to take down weakened Pokemon, at least its more useful than Sunny Day.

For items, all three benefit from Leftovers, unless this is a BT team (which it can't be due to Groudon).
