Battle Subway team!

I just recently started playing Pokemon again so I went out and bought white version. Trying get a decent run in the battle subway by throwing this team together. Tell me what you think as well as gimme some tips please. Much appreciated!

Skarmory @leftovers
Impish/ Keen Eye
252 hp/ 252 def/ 4 spD
~Brave Bird
~Roost
~Spikes
~Whirlwind
I like Skarmory for what it does and I use him for many reasons. I feel like he can take out many leads I will face as he has been able KO almost all leads I have faced thus far. Also, his spikes support is great for Haxorus and Suicune when facing ice and dragons or bulky attackers, respectively. Whirlwind over toxic or other moves of the sort, because I really like the option to phaze out, set up or rack up the extra spike damage. Skarmory also soaks up the EQs and toxic spikes which is great.


Highlander(Haxorus) @Lum Berry
Adamant/ Mold Breaker
31/31/24/5/12/31
4hp/252 attk/ 252 spe
~Dragon Dance
~Outrage
~Brick Break
~Earthquake
My go to sweeper. Haxorus seems to be very underestimated, especially anytime I've battle a friend. Though he is not the fastest dragon, his base speed is not slow especially with decent IVs and EVs. Stab Outrage really rips apart many things and the lum berry he holds actually does quite nice to keep his sweep going. I like to play him off Skarmory by way of a switch into something he can get a few DDs off. overall Haxorus is awesome and one of the Pokes I am really diggin' on in the new Gen.

CRYSTAL (Suicune) @Chesto Berry
Hardy/ Pressure
31/31/31/31/31/31
252hp/ 252 def/ 4 spD
~Calm Mind
~Scald
~Substitute
~Rest

One of my favorites, the ever popular Suicune. This is just the basic SubCM set but it really saves my hide at times as well as being the pokemon that can run through team after team. I try to sweep with Haxorus before Suicune 90% of the time if i have the option. Set goes something along the extremely complicated and sophisticated lines of: set up the sub, get at least 2 calm minds (sometimes that doesn't happen and its a mad dash to just KO the poke staring me down), then attack and rest if need be. Chesto berry for rest.
