Just Started Team, Advice Needed

Hi guys, I have never played Pokemon since Yellow Version, and I really need some help with my team building. Constructive criticism is appreciated!

I have tried this team out a few times, and i find it really unreliable, so here goes:

images

Greninja @ Focus Sash
Timid/Protean
252Speed/252SpAtt/4HP
Spikes
Scald
U-turn
Grass Knot

My lead Pokemon, I use it to scout or set spikes depending on the opponent, making use of protean to my advantage, otherwise i would switch out if im slower or u-turn, not sure if im doing it right here :/ Spikes is my only Hazard here, Scald for water coverage, U-turn to scout, and Grass Knot for B.A.Ms.

Aegislash @ Leftovers
Brave/No Guard
252HP/252SpDef/4Att/0Speed
Kings Shield
Swords Dance
Shadow Sneak
Iron Head

I love this pokemon, and i hope to build a team around Aegislash. Sometimes its predictable, but i really had fun having people to guess whether im using Shield or Dance next. Im not sure which category this falls to thou. Pretty much the Aegislash moveset everyone uses other than IronHead, im starting to feel sacred sword does much better...

Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm/Natural Cure
252SpDef/252Def/4HP
SoftBoiled
Aromatherapy
Seismic Toss
Toxic

My Tank/Cleric. Used to erm, tank... and erm... heal... and poison them lol. This is the Pokemon im having doubts with, it seems not to be fitting well into the team. SoftBoiled cos i couldnt get wish, Aromatherapy for clear off statuses & rotom-w Rest, Seimic Toss because everyone said so... Toxic cos i couldnt find any other skill lol. Needs more enlightenment.

Washing Machine @ Leftovers
Bold/Levitate
252HP/252Def/4SpAtt
VoltSwitch
HydroPump
Will O Wisp
Rest <<< Needs to Change

The well loved washing Rotom Wash. My Physical Wall/Scout. Will O Wisp is just... A washing machine that can burn. But it also feels wrong not being able to fit. VoltSwitch to scout, Hydropump for STAB, and rest because i couldnt get pain Split.

Gengar @ Gengarite
Timid/Levitate
252SpAtt/252Speed/4HP
ShadowBall
SludgeBomb
DestinyBond
DazzlingGleam

Mega Gengar, Special Sweeper, somehow dies too quickly during battles, but destiny bond usually does the job when i time it will (sometimes). Standard Moveset other than DazzlingGleam which i might change for focus blast, and destiny bond........... Looking for other alternatives thou, only used it because white gengar is just so irresistable. <3

Excadrill @ Air Balloon
Jolly/Mold Breaker
252Att/252Speed/4HP
RapidSpin
RockSlide
EarthQuake
Swords Dance

Spinner cum Physical Sweeper. Standard moveset, i dont seem to be able to pull off even a single sword dance thou. it always dies :o Maybe something else would fit the job better?


This team needs alot of refining, but i dont know where to start either. But so far im having fun trying things out, thanks guys for taking the time to read up till here. Fire away!
