I have trouble picking the right pokemon for double battle rating.

Gourgeist @ Leftovers
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Leech Seed
- Phantom Force
- Shadow Sneak
- Will-O-Wisp

I want to start over by picking a pokemon that stalls and cripples at the same time. I've maxed out SDef EV to counter heat wave Charizard Y. This is basically my wall, using will-o-wisp to cripple physical attackers. Phantom Force is for avoiding widespread moves. It's typing makes it immune to boomburst (which my Noivern has).

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Earthquake
- Protect

Intimidate for more crippling. I run knock-off becuase of the ability of the Gourgeist that I have in this team. Usually I go check the item if it needs to be eliminated or not. I go with protect U-turn to spread as many intimidates as I can.

Noivern @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower
- Boomburst
- U-turn

Timid nature because it is the only shiny I have and it's timid sadly. For real though I love using this is my special sweeper but i can only run Timid sadly. Choice Specs would make up to it though. This is a counter to Spore Sub Brelooms. I really am confused right now if ill just run it as support and get Tailwind because of its Timid Nature. Now that I think about it its not really that offensive.

Mienshao @ Focus Sash
Ability: Reckless
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- U-turn
- Poison Jab
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick

Poison Jab for surprising fairy pokemon out there. High Jump Kick for specially defensive walls like mega aggron. Im willing to run fake out to outplay decisive moments where there is a priority pokemon right in your face. So this poke is also used for checking and baiting for the fairies to come outl.

Houndoom-Mega @ Houndoominite
Ability: Solar Power
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Protect
- Flamethrower
- Dark Pulse

This is the core of the team. Usually just trick-room setup sweeper. Usually this team is countered by any trick room users. I need a mega pokemon with high SAtk so that I can OHKO most Trick Room setters such as Reniculus.

Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 SDef / 124 Def / 128 HP / 4 Atk
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Spikes
- Rapid Spin

Im not really sure what is the use of this on my team. But i need a spinner and a entry hazard setter so 2-in-1? I was not really sure what else do I have to add on this team. I realized that Charizard and Talonflame are big threats to my team so I decided to run a sturdy stealth rock setter.

Im new to teambuilding. I don't have enough experience to spread evs, to check damage and weakness counters and many many more. The biggest threat to my team is Togekiss. It can just sweep everything with dazzling gleam. The problem is that I am unsure of who to replace on my team because for me they are already synchronizing very well.

You need WAY more information on why each Pokemon is on your team. (3 lines minimum) But do it quickly or a mod might lock your thread. Also if you want to make your team more appealing to look at, I would suggest using GIF's of them over their set. Here are the list of the models you can use: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/

I'll rate this when you have more information.
