If the only reason you have Swampert is for SR,
you should switch for Focus sash Azelf lead.

Yeah thats basically why it is there. But my Azelf is jolly is that ok to work with my team.

I have been testing my team on shoddy and it seems to be missing something mid game but i don't know what any suggestions i can't seem to push on for the game.

If you are making Dusknoir your wall then may I suggest you switch one of the punches so that you can use pain split instead? If you want Dusnoir as a wall (and an annoying one at that, that's why I use one) then you'ld be better off trying to regenerate hp as much as possible.

Togekiss is one of my favourites as well ^^, your set suggests you are playing for serene grace, if this is the case you might want to switch flamethrower for a status, as there aren't too many status enducing moves on your team at the moment. I run my togekiss with thunderwave instead of flamethrower which, if successful, makes it very hard for the opponent to attack at all if you use air slash. It also puts you ahead of faster opponents :)

If you are replacing swampert to azelf as graves suggested, then fair enough, but if you are keeping swampert and only using him for SR, then can I suggest you remove Froslass, as you already have an ice beam and a dusknoir? You could give dusknoir shadow sneak or sucker punch to counter psychics instead of earthquake or one of your punches but thats up to you (I've realised I've talked about dusknoir twice now, sorry for the continuation being in another paragraph). I don't understand why you would use trick with choice specs? If you are using froslass as a special attacker you would never be able to use trick unless it's being subsistuted in, which isn't really the point of a revenge killer (unless I'm wrong, I thought a revenge killer came in and took out the opponents pokemon straight away, someone correct me if I am wrong, still new to this ^^), also with holding choice specs, using destiny bond is a little weird, for the same reasons as trick.

In all I think you have a good foundation for a good team ^^, although I would suggest turning togekiss into more of an annoyer/wall than a sweeper, maybe a slow hax sweeper? Just to even out your two physical sweepers and one special sweeper. I run a set almost similar to yours, in that i have a lead that uses SR, two physical sweepers and a special sweeper. I've filled the remaining two places however with a support (healing the rest of the party, but also plays a good wall. If you did want a water and was getting rid of swampert, i'ld suggest vaporeon) and a baton passer to aid the sweepers. You might want to think about adding a support to yours ^^

Hope that helps!

Thankyou that did help alot i have been thinking about a vaporeon do you think a baton pass set up vaporeon would help the most ?

I will change that with togekiss i can realise how annoying that would be but i am using choice scarf so it can take the lead would something be better suited to it for an item ?

And i'm still confused on Azelf as mine is jolly is that useable in my team ?
