Feedback on my team please

Feedback on my team please - Skarmory Added

This is my In-Game team that I plan to use on Wi-Fi, So please, any suggestions, comments or critiques are appreciated. Also, it is not possible for me to change the natures or EV's of these Pokemon, so they have not been posted. Item, moveset and pokemon recommendations are welcome.

Infernape @ LifeOrb
Jolly Nature
4HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed

Close Combat
Thunderpunch
Flare Drive
Stone Edge

Lead, Physical Sweeper. Effective at taking down other lead pokemon. LifeOrb to increase damage, plus he won't be around for long.

Lucario @ Choice Glasses
Modest Nature
4 HP / 252 Sp.Attack / 252 Speed

Aura Sphere

Gengar @ ?
Timid Nature
4 HP / 252 Sp.Attack / 252 Speed

Hypnosis
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Bomb

Special Sweeper, Deals alot of damage and can put things to sleep which is always a bonus. Unsure on hold item, Maybe something that increases accuracy?

Dragonite @ Yache berry
Adamant Nature
56 HP / 252 Attack / 200 Speed

Earthquake
Dragon Dance
Fire Punch

Physical sweeper, yet pretty tough against attacking types. No ideas for a hold item for him.

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Modest Nature
252 HP / 6 Defense / 252 Sp.Defense

Air Slash
Aura Sphere

Standard annoyer togekiss. Paralyses and continues to flinch with air slash or attack with aura sphere. Roost to rest off any damage

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
252 HP / 96 Attack / 156 Defense / 4 Speed

Drill Peck
Whirlwind
Roost
Stealth Rock


Physical wall / Stealth Rock to hit more types, especially covering the team weaknesses. Makes for better Mamoswine defense than Forretress was. Roost over Rest being as sleep is a disadvantage, also electric / ice attacks will be weakened on the turn I use it.

As I said before, Any recommendations to movesets, item or pokemon changes are welcome, as I'm not too much of an expert on how to structure a team together.
 
What's Focus Bomb? Choice Glasses? Oh and your team is 4/6 Mamo weak. It can utterly destroy Dragonite with Ice shard the same goes for Togekiss. Earthquake is the bane of Infernape and Lucario. How about putting in Bronzong over forretress? It can hypnosis as well which is an added bonus. Oh and please post ev spreads and natures makes it easier to rate, thanks.
 
It might be Focus Blast, actually, the fighting move with low accuracy and high power. And Choice Specs? Forgive me, I play the Japanese version, and am not too clear on the move/item names.
Any suggestions on Mamoswine solutions?
 
Replace Forretress with a physical wall that's immune to Ground and not weak to Ice. This means Bronzong, Skarmory, Cresselia, or Weezing.

Why isn't it possible to change Natures or EVs? You certainly don't think you're going to win with a Relaxed Infernape that has 0 EVs, do you?
 
Sorry if it seemed unclear, But I already have them figured out / trained and I thought if they were posted there may be some sets posted that would completely mess these up. They have now been added.
I think Skarmory is a good replacement for Forretress being as it can still use spikes, and whirlwind is a nice technique to have as well.
Yet Bronzong can use Stealth Rock, Gyro Ball and Hypnosis, making him similar to forretress but with less weaknesses.
Is Spikes or Stealth Rock preferred to counter threats to this team?
 
Well, it's a good thing you posted them up because if you hadn't, I wouldn't be able to tell you to remove all of your Togekiss's Speed EVs. There's no point in Speed when you have Thunder Wave, so move them all into Special Defense.

Earthquake over Aerial Ace. Life Orb is recommended, but I see your Dragonite is Adamant instead of the preferred Jolly, so it could use Yache Berry for an extra DD.
 
Thanks very much, The changes have been made. Just need to get hold of a Yache berry.
I think I'm going to go with Skarmory to replace Forretress, Maybe with this set:

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
252 HP / 96 Attack / 156 Defense / 4 Speed

Drill Peck
Whirlwind
Roost / Rest
Spikes / Stealth Rock.

Again, I'm unsure whether Spikes or Stealth Rock would be more useful for the team on a whole. Also, Whether Roost or Rest is preferred.
 
It's a shame EVs are set in stone. It isn't too bad though, only Dragonite (who has the Jolly EV spread) could use a touch-up.

Lucario would rather have a Priority move if spec'd. Depending on what you want covered I'd either replace Dragon Pulse or Physic with Vacuum Wave.
 
I was going to go with Vacuum Wave originally but decided against it due to the fact I didn't have the necessary breeding materials and I would rather have a wide type coverage with him, if you know what I mean
