I'm glad that it seems like this forum has some knowledgable people on it, as opposed to the regular OMFG NO (insert legendary/legendaries names' here) IN YOUR PARTY!?!

Having said that, I'm still pretty nooby as far as team-building goes, but here goes nothing.

Tyranitar@(?)

Adamant Nature

EVs: Attack and HP

Crunch, Rock Slide, Aerial Ace, Fire Fang/Avalanche

Garchomp@Scope Lens

Adamant Nature

EVs: Attack and Speed

Earthquake, Brick Break, Iron Tail, Dragon Rush

Cacturne@Bright Powder

Impish Nature

EVs: Defense and Special Defense

Teeter Dance, Double Team, Needle Arm, Toxic

Milotic@Bright Powder/Leftovers

Quiet Nature

EVs: Defense and Special Attack

Recover/Ice Beam, Water Pulse, Mirror Coat, Attract/Aqua Ring

Spiritomb@Leftovers

Calm Nature

EVs: Defense and Special Defense

Hypnosis, Curse, Dream Eater, Dark Pulse

Gardevoir@(?)

Modest Nature

EVs: Special Attack and Defense

Psychic, Calm Mind, Shock Wave, Shadow Ball

I chose not to give Tyranitar Dragon Dance because it will take like 5 in-game hours between Leaf Green and Diamond to get it, and I'm just too lazy to do that. I also like the freedom it gives me with Milotic for Recover if I choose to give it Avalanche. I'm leaning towards that for this reason. I want to max Milotic's Defense EVs because it's not a strong stat, and I don't want one Thunderpunch to knock it out, plus I'll be able to do more damage with Mirror Coat if its Special Defense stat is lower. I used Tyranitar to Cacturne's and Garchomp's advantage because of their Sand Veil, and I like having two Physical Sweepers. It gives me a little more freedom for another pokemon instead of having a Baton Passer, plus I cover more weaknesses. And T-Tar's Attack is so high it shouldn't really matter. It also has nice Defense and Special Defense stats, so I just chose HP. Spiritomb's sort of a Tank/Drainer...thing. Gardevoir works pretty well as a Special Sweeper, and I like Calm Mind, but I may just throw in another Special Attack like Energy Ball or such.

Also, I'd really like some help with held items and EVs (natures too) as well as any substitutions you'd make for (insert pokemon name here.)

I think this is a pretty well-rounded team overall. Your thoughts please?

It's almost unreadable.
You also need to add complete EVs.
I suggest this format:

Tyranitar@Choice Band
Adamant Nature
252 Attack 220 HP 32 Speed [For other Tars]

Crunch
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Avalanche/Pursuit

Or so.

Garchomp@Focus Sash
Adamant Nature
252 Attack 252 Speed 4HP

Earthquake
Dragon Claw
Swords Dance
Stone Edge

Milotic@Leftovers
Bold
252 HP 132 Defense 120 Sp.Attack

Hypnosis
Recover
Surf
Ice Beam

Spiritomb@Leftovers
Bold
252 HP 146 Defense 106 Sp.Attack

Hypnosis
Dark Pulse
Will-o-Wisp/Scheme/Whatever
Pain Split

Gardevoir@Leftovers
Modest Nature
252 HP 252 Sp.Attack 4Defense

Psychic
Calm Mind
Hypnosis
Thunderbolt

Sorry, that's how I'm used to posting it on Gametalk.

Also, as for EVs, the ones I posted are the only ones I max out in, which may or may not be smart. Most people I usually talk to just max out two stats.

Not always a good idea, but 252/252 is usually the normal spread, yes.

Also, on most Pokemons, maxing HP > maxing Def/Sp.Def

Would you suggest something over Will-O-Wisp on the set you gave for Spiritomb? It seems kind of pointless to have both that and Hypnosis on the same set.

Tell that to Gengar.

Trust me, it works. The point is to use Hypnosis to force a switch, then catch them with another status problem on the switch.

Gah. I feel so...old!

See, I'm more used to the strategies previously paved in R/S/E, but clearly now those are outdated (which makes sense.)

Hopefully tomorrow will fix that, with the pokedex coming out. It'll be a lot more convenient than going to Serebii/another Pokedex site.

Ah well, thanks for all the help.
