Brian D (Doublade) (M) @ Eviolite
Ability: No Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Pursuit
- Iron Head
- Shadow Sneak
- Swords Dance

Basically, this is the slow star of the team. So much bulk with so much power. I'm considering switching out pursuit for night slash or something but not too sure yet.

Games Dean (Exploud) (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Boomburst
- Focus Blast
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam

Exploud is just a beast. He's basically the slow sp. atk star of the team (mirror to Doublade). Specs is just too strong. It can ohko nearly everything and I find it useful to eliminate some stall pretty easily (cough cough Wish-Protect Alomolomola cough cough)

Jenny Matrix (Delphox) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Calm Mind
- Fire Blast
- Psychic
- Trick Room

Delphox is one of the key role players of this team. It has okay speed, and it's powerful.It is also a decent switch in to some attacks. I opted for trick room on this for Exploud, Doublade, etc, just in case i needed it. After all, most of my team is slow. Lorb is just for some extra damage.

Moriarty (Durant) (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Hone Claws
- Crunch
- Iron Head
- X-Scissor

(Kevin) Durant is also a star player for the team. When things don't work out w/ the other two stars, this is the game changer. Being fast and powerful, w/ just 1 hone claws, Durant can just steal a game away. I chose expert belt simply because i didn't want Durant to lose hp on every hit (Lorb) bringing it to the point of some priority moves knocking it out.

Jumpin' Jax (Rhyperior) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
- Thunder Punch

Rhyperior is just a tank. That's it. This is my basic switch-in to nearly any physical attack my opponent opts for. I chose adamant because I also wanted this thing to be able to attack well enough while taking hits like a champs. Leftovers is there just to preserve this even more, if possible.

Amoonguss (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Giga Drain
- Spore
- Sludge Bomb
- Toxic

Since Rhyperior is a physical tank, I also need a special tank. Now, Amoonguss isn't very ideal, but I find it to work in most cases. As well, it fits the spot as a good grass-type for team balance. It has the standard stuff (black sludge, regenerator, etc). The only reason toxic is there is just in case, Exploud cannot knock out the stall pokemon.

Enjoy :]
 
ello, nice team! I would just change a few move choices and EV's for these Pokemon:
Doublade: I would definitely say Shadow Claw>Pursuit seeing as most of the major Psychic types in the tier you wouldn't want to switch in on anyway. As a far as coverage goes, Dark and Ghost is really redundant anyway. Another tip just from personal experience is to run at least 44 Speed to speed creep Rhyperior, although I would say run a little bit more since Rhyperior likes to speed creep you as well.
Delphox: Nothing on this team really benefits from Trick Room bar Amoonguss, even with the lack of speed investment. I would change this to Grass Knot. Also, this might just be a mistake, but Timid>Naive on Delphox.
Durant: I see why you want to run an Expert Belt, but really for a sweeper like Durant a Life Orb would be more beneficial since its frail anyway and lacks the coverage needed for it.
Rhyperior: Rhyperior's pretty bulky physically even without investment, so if you wanted to you could replace some of the Defense with Attack EV's so it will hit harder. Also, Stone Edge>Thunder Punch, since it'll hit most water types just as hard anyway and has greater coverage with EQ.
Exploud: Nearly missed this, 252 Speed over HP, even with Investment Exploud really isn't that bulky and benefits more from being able to out speed threats.

Aight, thanks for the help! :]
