Would appreciate any help given. Wondering if I should replace Salamence with someone such as Talonflame. Garchomp is the physical Sweeper, Ferrothorn lead/tank/hazard pokemon, Exploud my special Sweeper and Blastoise a Wall. Gengar is the drainer/annoyer.
Salamence@Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
252 Atk/252 Speed/4 HP
Ability: Intimidate
Dragon Claw
Return
Fire Blast
Zen Headbutt
Salamence is another physical sweeper. As mentioned, I am debating on swapping this one out with Talonflame to get more speed to the fight and to better deal with threats with low life (Aka Revenge Killer)
Gengar@Black Sludge
Nature: Modest
252 SpAtk/252 Speed/4 HP
Ability: Levitate
Giga Drain
Thunder Bolt
Shadowball
Dark Pulse
I picked Gengar because of his ability to cover some types, but also to combo Black Sludge with Giga Drain and max speed to remain in battle and to drain away the foe's HP.
Garchomp@Choice Band (Debating on either swapping this for another because of Sand Veil/Sandstorm, or going Rough Skin)
Nature: Adamant
252 Atk/252 Speed/4 HP
Ability: Sand Veil
Iron Head(/Sandstorm)
Outrage
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Garchomp is the best sweeper on my team. I'm currently using Choice Band to combo with Outrage for devastating damage, but I'm still debating on switching it out for something that doesn't throw away the potential of Sand Veil/Sandstorm, or instead going for Rough Skin. The other abilites are mainly for cover.
Ferrothorn@Leftovers
Nature: Sassy/Brave
252 HP/128 Def/128 SpDef
Ability: Iron Barbs
Leech Seed
Stealth Rock
Protect
Gyro Ball
Ferrothorn is my picked Lead. His amazing Defence/Special Defence and low amount of weaknesses makes him an incredible asset. Starting off by Leech Seeding and Stealth Rocking to slowly drain the opponents lead while having a good Gyro Ball available.
Exploud@Choice Scarf
Nature: Timid
252 Sp.Atk/258 Speed/4 HP
Ability: Soundproof
Boomburst
Flamethrower
Surf
Focus Blast
Exploud might seem like a weird choice, but with Choice Scarf and Boomburst, which has 140 BP is able to deal a lot of damage. The other abilites are mainly for cover, so the Boomburst is doing most of the work.
Blastoise@Leftovers/Blastoisinite
Nature: Calm
252 HP/128 SpDef/128 Def
Ability: Torrent
Protect
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
Toxic
Last but not least, Blastoise. He has a good defense/Sp Defense and is able to stall using either Leftovers for recovery or Blastoise for better stats. With Toxic and Protect, he's able to stall, and if used directly after Ferrothorn, is able to bring in even more stalling w/ Leech Seed. Ice beam is to counter grass pokemon and Hydro Pump for STAB.

252 Atk/252 Speed/4 HP

Dragon Claw
