ORAS UU First UU team, Balanced team /w Favorite pokemon

Basically, I am very new to competitive battling and I wanted to make a team with some of my favorite pokemon.. I am open to all changes

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Wish
- Protect
- Heal Bell
- Foul Play

Umbreon is my favorite eeveevolution hands down, I really like the look of stall teams, even tho this isnt a stall team i believe he is a great pairing with weezing once i get toxic spikes down.

Weezing @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic Spikes
- Sludge Bomb
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split

my physical wall with toxic spikes, will o wisp and pain split if i can properly predict my enemy i feel like this pokemon is irreplaceable. he is an amazing wall and pairs great with umbreon

Feraligatr @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Ice Punch

one of my sweepers, after he gets 1-2 dragon dances he just becomes a beast and i believe hes a good pick for uu from what ive battled so far hes won me a couple games just by himself.

Sharpedo-Mega @ Sharpedonite
Ability: Speed Boost
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang

the mega for my team, this guy was a last minute pick i was trying to figure out a good mega for this team and i saw how people play him with protect and speed boost and thought that was a pretty good idea.

Donphan @ Choice Band
Ability: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Knock Off
- Gunk Shot

more a filler, hes my physical attacker with knock off too take some items off opponents, definitely wouldnt mind replacing him for better options.

Reuniclus @ Assault Vest
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Psychic

my special attacker, i put an assault vest on him i know that might be strange but i just wanted a pure special attacker and wanted to keep the team legal by not having 2 of the same item.
 
For a first team, it's at best decent. It definitely needs some work. I'd recommend fixing the problem with Feraligatr and Sharpedo. Their playstyles and movesets are way too similar. I'd get rid a Sharpedo for a different mega, probably Mega Ampharos. That's all I got.
 
Hey man, welcome to Smogon :]. You need to make your descriptions 3 lines long or you run the risk of having your thread locked, so I advise you to make that change. A change for your team to start would be your Reuniclus. As a bulky attacker, it really appreciates having a means of recovery, so I would add recover>shadow ball. This helps it check the likes of Coballion, Lucario, and other physical threats without super effective coverage easier, which is important given how Weezing can get worn down easily due to its lack of reliable recovery.

This is just a minor change for now; I'll update this as I take a better look. Just make sure to update your descriptions and check out the rules here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/rmt-rules-resources-required-reading.3534875/
 
Replace Mega Sharpedo with Mega Sceptile
With the abundance of water types and ground types running around in the UU tier, having a grass types around is always appreciated. Mega Sharpedo doesn't do anything on a team that already has Feraligatr, so I would reccomend running this powerful special attacker instead.
Sceptile @ Sceptilite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Giga Drain
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Focus Blast
Change your Donphan to a bulky set
Banded Donphan is good, but you're team needs some hazard control, and making Donphan a bulky set is considerably more useful, as you retain your ground STAB and Knock off, while gaining more hazard setting/control.
Donphan @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off
Make Reuniclus a CM set
You're allowed to have as many of the same item as you want, you know. Running the CM set will allow you to use recover, which helps eliminate pressure on Wheezing and Umbreon, as neither has particularly reliable recovery. It can also easily set up and rip holes through unsuspecting teams.
Reuniclus @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Recover
Replace Wheezing with Arcanine
If you really want to keep Wheezing, then do it. This is probably the least nessessary change out of all of them. Arcanine definetely has more synergy with the rest of your team, creating a fire water grass core with Mega Sceptile. It also has much more offensive potential, it has reliable recovery, and it can effectively run rocky helmet. But if you're dead set on Wheezing, then fine by me.

Arcanine @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Morning Sun
- Will-O-Wisp
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
