First post, First Team(be aware that this is a bit of a mixed team)

Mistress Darkrai

Hey guys! I'm new, but I have ben reading smogon for a while, and wanted an opinion on a team I plan to use, when I get wi-fi(which shall be pretty soon!)

Uxie@ Leftovers

220 Def./ 36 Sp Atk./ 252 sp def.
Nature: Calm (+Sp Def. -Atk)
Moves:
~Psychic
~Shadow Ball
~Giga Drain
~Calm mind

Okay, this isn't your every day Uxie, but, nothing on my team is ment to be ordinary. Calm Mind is ment to boost the already massive Sp Def she has. (yes, I'm refering to my Uxie as a girl. Always have, always will) This is so she can take hits from the likes of Gengar, possibly Spiritomb, and the like. Now, after all that calm minding, you'll want some offnceive moves to use that new found power with, won't you? Well, in this set, you have three^^ Psychic is ment to anialated Gengar, Infernape, Heracross, and others that could cause you some problems, for your team later on, and not to mention for stab, while Shadow Ball takes care of Psychics(namely, Alakazam, and Azelf) and help out with Gengar, if Psychic runs dry. Now, your all probably wondering, 'why the heck put Giga Drain on Uxie?' Why, it's actually quite simple. A way to heal, without the retaliation of sleep slowing you down, and letting Darkrai be able to bring you absolute hell. Not to mention, it's can hit bulky ground and water types, and leech off them for the match^^

Roserade @ Life orb

4 Def./ 252 Sp Atk./ 252 Spe.
Nature: Rash (+Sp Atk. -Def. I believe...)
Moves:
~Sludge Bomb
~Petal Dance
~Shadow Ball
~Synthesis

Not your tipical Roserade, either, but still can bring the hurt. Sludge Bomb to take on non-grass/poisons, and Stab, while Petal Dance is just Rayquaza outrage, just weaker, and more feminine^^ Shadow ball can hit those nasty Psychics trying to do you massive harm, and Synthesis is for when Life Orb is about to kill you, or to remove residual damage. Try to avoid Sandstorm and Rain.

Darkrai @Focus Sash

4 Atk./ 252 Sp Atk./ 252 Spe.
Nature: Hasty(+Spe. -Def.)
Moves:
~Spacial Rend
~ThunderBolt
~Dark void
~Pursuit

Holy crap...this thing can kill. Spacial Rend is for dragons like Rayquaza, and Garchomp, who might come in to obliverate you. This will be a nasty surprise for them, unless they have Focus Sashes of their own. ThunderBolt is for the possibility of Paralisis Hax, which we all love. :heart: (not...unless were the ones benefiting from it) Dark Void is to bring in Bad Dreams, which can be a real pain in the ass, trust me. -_- And Pursuit is for catching Psychics and Ghosts off guard, and incapasitate them.

Regice @Lum berry

252 Atk./ 220 Def./ 36 Sp Def.
Nature: Lonely (+Atk. -Def.)
Moves:
~ThunderPunch
~Ice Punch
~Curse
~Rest

CurseIce. Dreadfully powerful in the hands of an expert, which I am not...yet. Anyway, Curse is to make up for the nature: it's boost your defenses, and not to mention give Thunder, and Ice Punch some much needed boost. Rest is for instant Recovery, though, unless your feeling lucky, you may not want to use it too much.
(please not, that this is taking a long time for me to remember...I need a Mountain Dew...)

Mismagius @Leftovers

4 Hp/ 252 Sp Atk/ 252 Spe
Nature: Timid(+Spe. -Atk.)
Moves:
Shadow Ball
Calm mind
Mean Look
Perish Song

You know how they say most opponents won't expect a dual Calm Mind/Perish Song Mismagius? Well, it may not be exactly what's to be looked for, but, it can still cause massive threatening, and damage :heart: This set is Null and void when it comes to Blissey, but that is what Perish trapping is for^^ not to mention Cm Shadow Ball can really sting after a while, and on death fodder pokemon.

Espeon @Tanga Berry

4 HP./ 252 Sp Atk./ 252 Spe
Rash (+Sp Atk. -Sp Def.)
Moves:
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Morning Sun
Hidden Power Fighting

This is a weapon in my arsinal that is best kept secret, so I've saved it for last^^ This is a basic Sp. Sweeping Espeon, but a bit different. Psychic takes care of Fighting types, Gengar, and the ocasional Weezing, while Shadow ball handles fellow Psychics, and another move for getting Gengar off your back. Hidden Power Fighting, while possibly unsusal, could, in the right hands, handle Tyranitar, and many other Dark types trying to mess with Espeon.

Well, I've edited this around a bit, sence being tired, and writing down my team don't jive well. For the record, a few things:

-This team isn't in any particular order, due to the fact I really haven't disided it.
-This is a Uber metagame team, but I plan to replace Darkrai if I use it in OU.
-I'm good with reading Ev set, but I've yet to learn to follow them. It's what I came to learn.
 
For regice, if you want a attack boosting nature, use Adamant (+Atk, -Sp.Atk), since your not using any Sp.Atk moves.

Also, add in your 6th team member.
 
Im kinda wondering if you'll be playing with Uber Clause on, you probably will. If you are you need to drop Darkrai.

I'm kinda new to RMT but I don't think that a CMUxie should lead, or any set up pokemon bar Ninjask should really lead. Instead why not try leading with Roserade? Roserade can carry some useful utility moves such as Sleep Powder and Toxic Spikes.

Petal Dance on Roserade isn't a very good idea, it's not particularly powerful and you'll be stuck on it for a few turns letting them switch to an appropriate pokemon, set up and KO before you can get out. Instead you might opt for going withe the more powerful Leaf Storm, although you might have to switch out due to the drop in SpAtk. Maybe also getting a Roserade with a timid natuer might also help out in the speed department without dropping an important stat like Def. If you lead with it consider Focus Sash as your item.

Next is Regice. Curse Regice, and I think most Regice should carry 252 Hp 252 Def and 4 SpD to maximize its surviveability. Avalanche>Ice punch due to the fact that you'd be going second anyways on a Curse set. You might also consider Leftovers, rest will cure your status anyways.

Mismagius. Calm Mind on a set that requires you to switch out seems kinda redundant, why not insted put Protect on it to help it survive the turns, and scout for moves. I'd also recomend putting Thunderbolt on it so that it can deal with Gyarados and Skarmory. Also since you'll only be attacking with one move anyways maybe a bulkier Ev spread might be useful, try 252 HP 40 Def 216 SpD

As for Uxie I would like to also see this pokemon with a bulkier spread. The analysis has a pretty good one so I'll go with that one, 240 HP / 28 Def / 16 SpA / 8 SpD / 216 Spe. As for its attacks, Uxie loves its support moves, things like Yawn and Reflect are great. Calm Mind mixed with Psychic and Thunderbolt or could work well.

As for the replacement for Darkrai, you might want to put in something that can deal some damage offensively. Scizors are all the rage now. It has a great attack stat, awesome typing giving it only one weakness, and the strongest priority in the game, makes it a great addition to any team. Try 32 Hp 252 Atk and 224 Spe Adamant with Life Orb
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Super Power
-Roost

And as for your last pokemon (which is missing mind you) I'd add something with a nice fire resist, maybe a Vaporeon. Vaporeon would give you a great ansewr to Gyrados, and most other physical sweepers, and grant you a water immunity. It also allows you to wish pass to some of its weakend team members.

188 HP 252 Def 68 SpAtk
Bold Leftovers
-Wish
-Protect
-Surf
-HP Electric

You only have 5 pokemon on your team by the way, so expect it to be locked soon unless of course you fix it quick.

Another thing you might want to do is look at the strategy pokedex on this site, it's full of great sets, EV spreads, and strategies that can help you get your team up to shape.
 
I've just edited. Thank you for the honest reviews, and I'll revise my team when I have a chance to think it over a bit more. For now, I'm just gonna see what I get for reviews, and hope for no flaming.
 
a few nitpicks here and there, i'll get to a full team rate later, my sis has to use my com for several reasons. CMUxie is best left for later, as a lead, I can't really help you in Ubers since i'm kind of a noob in that area, but for OU, Roserade works fine, check the Roserade analysis page for the Support Lead set, Uxie can work as a lead as well, if you're willing to drop it's CM set for a SR, maybe Yawn, U-Turn, the Support set, again, on the Analysis page. Curse Regice doesn't seem like the best physical sweeper, try on another physical sweeper, try out the common ones, Scizor/Lucario/Tyranitar/Heracross, see which works for you. Espeon isn't ground weak, shuca does nothing unless you're THAT afraid of CB Bug Bite Ariados and you want to give it a useless berry to bite off. (joking) If you're going uber, Darkrai shouldn't have focus sash unless it's a lead, since SR negates Focus Sash, and if its a lead, i think Scarfrai is better.
 
If you are usig this team for Ubers, you might as well drop everything except Darkrai. Those pokemon are most suited to be used in OU. Instead use other Uber pokemon like Groudon, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Rayquaza, Mewtwo, Kyogre, and Lugia. These pokemon are exclusive to the Uber tier and should be used there due to their poweful stats and moves. If you'd like some help with an Uber team you'd probably have to start from scratch.
 
I agree with Fenix. If this is Ubers you need a total revamp.

Feel free to PM me for information on the Ubers metagame. Or if you want the best Uber battlers help PM Jibaku
 
Ei-yei-yei...so much to learn...but, I will give this a re-vamp. I just need to see what I have for Ubers, and see if the Lugia I got from my little brothers is hacked. @_@ I'm pretty sure it is, though, and I believe the only Ubers I have are: Mewtwo, Rayquaza, Kyogre, my little brothers possibly hacked Lugia, and that's it, I think. Most of them have horrrid Iv's, except Darkrai, who I'm not sure what his Ivs are, but, from what I've been observing, the stats I'm raising him in are doing very well.
