(Other) Ghost Monotype Team

I am not amazing at teambuilding, which is why I want to see whether this team has potential or not. I built this Ghost Monotype team with adjustments from a friend but I want to see whether it's actually decent or not. Criticism is welcomed.

Froslass @Focus Sash
Nature : Timid
Ability : Cursed Body
EV's : 252 Sp. Atk / 252. Spe / 4 Sp. Def
Moveset :
Spikes
Taunt
Destiny Bond
Ice Beam

Froslass is the lead. Taunting most leads from getting set up, setting up with Spikes, Destiny Bond to go out with a victory, and Ice Beam for STAB.

Sableye @Leftovers
Nature : Careful
Ability : Prankster
EV's : 252 HP / 120 Def. / 136 Sp. Def
Moveset :
Will-O-Wisp
Confuse Ray
Recover
Night Shade

Most people wish Sableye would go back to which it came from. Will-O-Wisp to cripple most physical attackers, Confuse Ray just to hinder it's chances of actually attacking, Recover to obviously recover HP, and Night Shade because it always does a decent amount of damage.

Jellicent @Leftovers
Nature : Calm
Ability : Water Absorb
EV's : 252 HP / 252 Sp. Def / 4 Def.
Moveset :
Scald
Will-O-Wisp
Shadow Ball
Recover

This is my team's Special Wall. Scald for STAB and chance of burning. If I'm impatient I could just cripple pokemon immediately with Will-O-Wisp. Shadow Ball for STAB too, and Recover to stall out being a Special Wall.
Water Absorb for immunity to some Rain Dance (MonoWater) teams and could stand up to Grass moves being a Sp. Wall.

Gengar @Life Orb
Nature : Timid
Ability : Levitate
EV's : 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Moveset :
Substitute
Pain Split
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast

My team's Special Sweeper. Substitute to scout for super effective moves, Pain Split to recover HP with Life Orb, Shadow Ball for STAB, and Focus Blast for coverage.

Drifblim @Flying Gem
Nature : Adamant
Ability : Unburden
EV's : 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Moveset :
Acrobatics
Will-O-Wisp
Substitute
Destiny Bond

Flying Gem to make use of its Unburden ability. Acrobatics is its main STAB move, Will-O-Wisp to cripple pokemon, Substitute if needed, and Destiny Bond to go out with style. I honestly think this moveset is not that good but I don't know what else to do with it.

Golurk @Leftovers
Nature : Adamant
Ability : Iron Fist
EV's : 200 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def / 44 Spe
Moveset :
Substitute
Focus Punch
Shadow Punch
Earthquake

I don't know why Golurk is here, I guess just for type coverage? Substitute to setup for Focus Punch and/or just to scout for super effective moves. Shadow Punch for STAB, and Earthquake for coverage.

So yeah, this is my Ghost Monotype Team. In my opinion this team isn't really good but you guys can suggest changes, criticize, and just discuss on what I should do. Thank you!

Hey dude! You're team seems pretty creative, however for more in-depth rates you should totally lengthen your descriptions to at least 5 lines per Pokemon...it helps raters understand your thought process and their roles better! ;)

PS dude this section is only for UU (UnderUsed) teams. This team has some OU (OverUsed) Pokemon; Gengar and Jellicent. So you should also ask a mod to move this to the right place :)
