Please tell me the goods/bad about my team here... I have not thought of moves for any yet but I'm working on it! Just let me know what I could do to improve on it. My bad if I spell anything wrong, Thanks!

Tyranitar: serious nature.
(Mega) alakazam: modest.
Delphox: serious.
Poliwrath: careful.
Garchomp: docile.
Venusaur: jolly.
 
Mega Alakazam is pretty bad, normal alakazam is better in like every way. Delphox is bad, Poliwrath is bad.

You don't have any Sun to abuse Venusaur so I recommend making Venusaur your mega. If you don't make him your mega, you should use Mega Charizard Y, or don't use Venusaur.

Mega Venusaur
Alakazam
Garchomp
Tyranitar

Those would be best, and then add in two other pokemon that don't suck, maybe Rotom-W and Heatran for a FWG core with Venusaur.

Your post will probably get deleted/locked though, because you need to provide more information than this. In the stage your team is at, it would be better to get help on IRC. http://www.smogon.com/irc/ Just follow thew instructions. It's a pain to set up but once you get in there, people can help you with your team, and then once you have a better idea for a team, THEN you can post it here.

What other pokemon do you think I should get that are not banned but are still really good with their move set and stats and also with the type coverage? And why does poliwrath suck I thought he was really good with a great moveset? Would houndoom be a good replacement fr delphox in this team or would there be someone better? Thanks a lot

Poliwrath is just not used much due to its very small moveset of just fighting and water moves with the occassional ice type move as well. As for a replacement for Delphox I would suggest either Volcarona because of the fact it hits hard as a SpA. Same Fire type and becomes a massive threat after one Quiver Dance or Heatran. Heatran can take hits and support Mega-Venu in a good way taking the Psychic and Flying moves which can threaten it. Obviously T-tar can do the same but its nice to have more options to switch into and not become too predictable when doing so.

And what about rotem-w? You mentioned him earlier... Or would there be a better pokemon to go with my original 4 and one of these fire types?
 
Rotom-W is fine. Make Garchomp your set up sweeper, give Tyranitar a choice scarf to make him a revenge killer and pursuit trapper, Alakazam needs a focus sash, and then your FWG core of Rotom-W/Heatran/MegaVenusaur.

Completely agree with the core^ Mega Venu, Rotom-W and Heatran. Truly covering eachother. Rotom has to pretty much only deal with Grass which Venu and Heatran both wall. For Heatran, Venu can take fighting hits and Rotom can take the Ground with immunity. Venu. Rotom can take Flying attacks and Heatran can take Psychic.
 
Why does alakazam have to be holding focus sash?? And which fire pokemon do you think is better for this team heatron or volcarona??
Alakazam needs the focus sash because with the combination of Magic Guard it means that you will always have a sure sash Pokemon on your team as it doesn't take damage from coming in. It also is frail so it can't take many hits. As for the fire Pokemon go for Heatran because it is a better core defense with the combination of Mega-Venu and Rotom-W

The Alakazam also doesn't need Dazzling Gleam. Focus Blast is fine for those dark types and Psyshock over Psychic to hit those SpD walls hard.

What about heatron?? And who would be the lead?
Heatran @ Leftovers
252 HP/252 SpD+/4SpA
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Calm
-Lava Plume
-Protect
-Roar
-Toxic/Stealth Rock/Earth Power


As a lead it would most obvious be Tyranitar to get up the sand or Heatran if you do use Stealth Rock to get up the entry hazard but if you do believe your opponent will predict that switch it up. Don't use the same lead in every match.

Can you give me some tragedies for this team? And just a random question... If an opponent uses rapid spin when I had stealth rocks on, could I use it again? Or is it permanently blocked? And if I had to have rapid spin which of these pokemon would I have learn it and replace it for what? Thanks a lot

Awww C: I love helping out people! Okay basically. Yes, if an opponent Rapid Spins when you put the Stealth Rocks you do have access to use it again until you faint the opponent that keeps using Rapid Spin. As for your team I'm afraid none of your Pokemon can learn it. I would go with a Defog'r instead of Rapid Spin user. This would mean having to change up your team a bit. I would suggest considering Mandibuzz in your team just because its Sand based team and Mandibuzz has the immunity towards it while being able to Defog. Latias is also a good choice however you already have Alakazam on the team so I wouldn't recommend it. If you really want a Spinner I would suggest Excadrill because it works well with sand but won't be able to take much hits or Forretress. Choose which one really. A Defog user(Mandibuzz) or a Rapid Spinner(Excadrill or Forretress) Take into account Defog will also remove your Stealth rocks as well.

Energy Ball is probably a better choice over Calm Mind. Other than that yeah. Also either T-Tar with Sneaky Gravel, or Heatran should be your lead to get them up ASAP so you can get the damage racked up. Also, if the opponents lead is obvious (i.e. Klefki) send out Heatran so you can get rid of it.

Why in any circumstances would Energy ball be better than Calm mind? :S If not Calm mind, then Hidden Power Fire. Energy ball should not be used on Alakazam
 
Just realised your team doesn't even benefit much from Sand. I'm with ouchalargerock on this. Get rid of T-tar if your planning on getting more support for your team.
