I Haven't done this in a While Might need some help

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
Modest Nature (+SpA, -Atk)
EVs: 252 SpA, 252 HP, 6 Spd
- Air Slash
- Nasty Plot / Thundewave
- Roost
- Aura Sphere

I was fooling around with some pokes that I have that I never used and I loved the fact when used correctly Togekiss no matter how cute it looks you will think it is possessed by Satan. So I formed this Team based around this guy. So the main goal is to set up Togekiss Sweep while putting the opponent through hell with SR, Flinch Hax, while supporting Togekiss. I know the Ev’s might seem a little stupid but when set up correctly they work fine. The Moveset is pretty Self-explanatory Root for instant healing instead of Wish Aura Sphere is for Bliss which will do more damage with EV’s and Nature

Swampert @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 52 SAtk / 216 Def
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Surf
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam

Swampert is for resists it resists all Togekiss’s Weaknesses Rock, Electric, helps with Ice. Roar for people like Chomp and Weavile trying SD. Stealth Rock is to add a little more damage on and to help with Weavile cause I think I am Weavile weak. Waterfall is for the Ground and Rock Types also thinking about Avalanche not sure.

Jirachi @ Leftovers or Light Clay
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 240 HP / 76 Def / 136 Spd / 56 Atk
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Wish
- Body Slam
- Zen Headbutt
- Reflect

I felt that I could use some Support not only for Togekiss but also for the whole team so I added Jirachi. He puts up reflect heals the team Helps Paralyze with Body Slam.

Gallade @ Choice Band
Trait: Steadfast
EVs: 244 HP / 160 Atk /104 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Psycho Cut
- Night Slash
- Ice Punch

Made Choice Band because i thought that Mesprit would be more Bulky than Gallade and being better at using thunderwave.

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 180 SDef / 76 Def
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Will-o-Wisp
- Pain Spilt
- Shadow Sneak
- Fire Punch

This guy is my Anti Spinner/ Wall. Thunder Punch for Starmie and other Waters. Fire Punch is for Hera and Weavile. This guy is important because without the Stealth Rocks up mean people like Weavile, Gyarados, and Salamence come in untouched.



Mesprit @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 80 SAtk / 252 HP / 176 Def
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder wave

Thought this guy would be better at Paralyzing people wit Twave then Gallade and Helps better against Gyara, Infernape, Sala, Chomp

As I said in the Title I haven't done this in awhile so not all this that I am saying may be 100% true but just bare with me I am willing to consider any suggestion. Also I think I am Hera and Weavile weak i went through the threat list I might not be right on some but i think if my Strategy works out i have almost everything covered Tell me what you think.
 
Well you say your team is made around Togekiss, but it wouldn't be a good idea to lead with it. Putting a choice scarf on azelf and using rash 252 spatk, 216 speed, 40 Atk with u-turn would be better for a lead. Make swampert into mixpert so you can beat bulky grounds since waterfall won't really do much. Gallade looks a bit out of place in your team. I reccomend something like Vaporeon which helps wish and counters Infernape+Gyarados. That leaves a space open on Dusknoir so you can replace Thunder punch with Shadow Sneak. Take out Jirachi for Bronzong and then you can get rid of your Garchomp weak.
 
I don't necessarily like Togekiss as a lead here. It'd be better off late game after some stuff has been paralyzed by Gallade, perhaps use Swampert to set up Rocks early, or even Azelf. You also might find Will-o-wisp turning out as a wasted slot on Dusknoir with the amount of Paralysis going around so just watch out for that. Same thing goes with Hypnosis on Gallade. You might find yourself getting in trouble with moveslots if you want Togekiss to have something to move into.
 
Yes I fixed the format. butwould a Sturdy Mesprit be a better counter to Gyara/ Chomp and a little Infernape but it might open up weakness to Hera and Weavile a little more what do you think?. Any other suggestions from anyone else. And im going to change Swampert to mixspert
 
Sorry gys my mistake I posted them in the order i picked them for the team not which is first. I was going to lead with Swampert or Azelf if i put choice Scarf on it.
 
Ice Beam isn't an option on Azelf, because it doesn't learn Ice Beam.

Body Slam on Jirachi can be very helpful for paralysis support, because it gets a 60% paralysis chance with Serene Grace and even works against Ground-types that like to switch in, unlike Thunder Wave. Jirachi can use a somewhat less effective paraflinch combination itself, with Body Slam and Zen Headbutt. Reflect is disposable if you want to use Body Slam, but I'd actually kick off U-turn, because if you lack Reflect, Choice Band Tyranitar's Crunch will not be pleasant to face. If you're building this team around Togekiss, then you must use Nasty Plot over Thunder Wave on it. You'll have to trust the rest of your team to get you your paralysis support, because without Nasty Plot, Togekiss just isn't very threatening and becomes more of a support Pokemon.
 
IMO Nasty Plot>Thunder Wave on Togekiss. The combination of Body Slam Jirachi + Nasty Plotting Togekiss is really scary, even moreso when you look at their resistances.
 
Ice Beam isn't an option on Azelf, because it doesn't learn Ice Beam.

About the Azelf thing i was looking at Mesprit move pool and didn't relize so that is my bad. How do you get Body Slam on Jirachi from 3rd Gen right? Also made some changes to the team. Also with Togekiss's Nature and EV spread do i really need Nasty plot?
