I want to make a team that works, and here's what I've come up with. Please help.

Xatu@Petaya Berry
Modest
252 Spd, 252 Sp. Atk
Thunder Wave
HP Fire
Psychic
Confuse Ray

My opener, Parafuses if needed. Works well.

Golduck@Salac Berry
Adamant
252 Atk, 252 Spd
Cross Chop
Psych Up
Return
Surf

CC is a great surprise vs. TTars and other things, seeing as Golduck's attack is decent. Psych Up is for those Ninjasks and other BPers, and Surf is good STAB.

Ninetales@White Herb
Timid
252 Spd, 252 Sp. Atk
Sunny Day
Overheat
HP Grass
Confuse Ray

SD + OH is extreme power that I can use twice in a row, and more if I switch out. Pretty basic otherwise.

Muk@Leftovers
Brave
252 Atk, 252 Def
Curse
Sludge Bomb
Return
HP Bug

One Curse is about 500 attack, 2 is +700. Even EQs can't pentrate this, but I get ****ed by water pokemon, no protection from Surf. The physical sweeping on this guy is amazing.

Breloom@Leichi Berry (?)
Jolly
252 Atk, 252 Spd
Spore
Swords Dance
Focus Punch
Giga Drain

Basic F. Puncher. One SD = 700 attack, with a 225 power move. x_x

I have no idea of a last pokemon. I had Steelix and then Shedinja, but they failed. :<

Help, please.

Xatu@Petaya Berry
Modest
252 Speed, 252 Sp. Atk, 6 HP
Thunder Wave

Looks good.

Golduck@Salac Berry
Timid
252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Calm Mind
Ice Beam/Hypnosis
Psychic
Surf

Yes, I know it changed from a physical sweeper to a special sweeper, but it works better when it relies on special moves. I think psych up may be too situational, so I decided to drop that.

Ninetales@White Herb
Timid
252 Spd, 252 Sp. Atk, 6 HP
Sunny Day
Overheat
HP Grass
Confuse Ray

SD + OH is extreme power that I can use twice in a row, and more if I switch out. Pretty basic otherwise.
Looks good, you may want to try the annoyer version of ninetales though, considering the amount of sweepers on the team.

Muk@Chesto Berry
Brave/Adamant
252 HP, 252 Sp. Def, 6 Attack
Curse
Sludge Bomb
Rest
HP Ground

One Curse is about 500 attack, 2 is +700. Even EQs can't pentrate this, but I get ****ed by water pokemon, no protection from Surf. The physical sweeping on this guy is amazing.
Yes, I know I completely changed the EVs here, but I think its for the better. You really don't need defense EVs since you'll be using curse to raise your defense anyways; likewise with attack EVs. HP Ground covers more than HP Bug, and HP Ground hits steel which is crucial since steel is immune to sludge bomb. With this pokemon, beware of hazers and skarmory.

Breloom@Leichi Berry (?)
Jolly ?
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Spore
Swords Dance
Focus Punch
Giga Drain

I'm not too good with Breloom =/.

I have no idea of a last pokemon. I had Steelix and then Shedinja, but they failed. :<

Help, please.

Anyways, for your last pokemon, don't use anything that's weak to ground (three ground weaknesses=BAD) and don't use another sweeper (you already have 4, essentially).

Overall, the team is ok.

Xatu looks good.

I'd take Surf off Golduck because his nature hinders special attack and Ninetales's Sunny Day can conflict with that.

I never really liked the idea of Overheat on a special attacker, but then again that may be all you need or are able to do before Ninetales dies.

Generally speaking, HP EVs are better than defensive EVs.

On Breloom, ditch Giga Drain for Mach Punch. STAB+Swords Dance+First Strike kind of reminds you of something, doesn't it?


For the last slot, you might want to use a pseudo-passer, Hazer, Rapid Spinner, or Heal Beller/Aromatherapist.

Thanks for the help guys.

I'm thinking maybe Miltank in the last slot?

And Nintales has actualy been working well, I can use Sunny Day when they switch out (Provided I send it out vs. grass), then OH becomes 305 power move. Not bad, and I can use it twice. = :D
