Default My first team.

Armaldo (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 202 HP/252 Atk/56 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Knock Off
- Rock Polish
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor

My starter. Knock Off some items and it's good for a early-game sweep. It's attack is most of the time underistimated.

---
Kingdra (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Dragon Pulse

Hits hard. Not sure about the last move, but I don't think any other move is better than Dragon Pulse.
---
Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP/100 Atk/146 Def/12 Spd
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Roost
- Drill Peck
- Toxic
- Spikes

Support and physical wall. Toxic for even more damage.
---
Uxie @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Yawn
- Stealth Rock
- U-turn
- Psychic

Support and special "wall" of sorts. Yawn forces a lot of switches.
---
Scizor (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Agility
- Metal Claw
- Quick Attack

Awesome late-game sweeper. Not sure if I should use Swords Dance instead of Agility, but so far served Agility me well.
---
Garchomp (M) @ Yache Berry
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
- Dragon Claw

Not sure about this one, but it has done its job well.

So as you can see my team isn't that great at all although it did it quite good lately. At first I used Hippowdon and Regirock over Kingdra and Uxie but I thought they weren't that usefull.

Thanks.

The standard LO Scizor set is just like your except it has Roost and swords dance.

Your team looks good, but as Kabuto already mentioned you should fix up your Scizor set. A Life Orb boost isn't going to get you anywhere without the support of Swords Dance. I suggest a Lum Berry for your Armaldo to ensure a successful Knock Off if that is what you're aiming for. Also, with Lum Berry you are free to set up with Rock Polish as you please. Leftovers is indeed helpful, but Lum Berry will help you a lot in the long run. Other than that, good job.

You might want to change Toxic on Skarmory with Whirlwind to stop things from setting up and it would also go really good with Uxie's Yawn-Stealth Rock combo.

I'd def give Scizor swords dance. With agility, quick attack is kinda wasted.

Why D-Meteor and D-pulse on kingdra? You could try signal beam?

Yeah, I never caught that. Remove Toxic for Whirlwind/Roar.

there's no reason to use a lonely nature on skarmory. use impish to raise defense. if you want an attack boosting nature, use adamant.

Thanks for the comments, all!

I forgot to change Skarmory's nature, thanks for telling me. I'll use Lum Berry on Armaldo, but I'm still not sure about Scizor, because it's speed isn't that great, but I'll try it out and see what works better for me. Thanks again.

IMO, Scizor doesn't really need the speed. Go with Swords Dance, that way you get some extra power on your Quick Attack. I really think you need Brick Break somewhere on that moveset. Magnezone gets a free kill on you, just letting you know.
