My favorite 5th gen. team

I have been playing this team on pokemon online for a while now. I made a lot of changes through playing it for about a month now: this is my favorite version of this team. There is no really complex strategy to this team other then to win. It has won me about 95% of battles and got me to rank 12 at one point on smogon sever. Im posting here because I want to win that other 5% of the battles. So if you see anything that would improve my team please mention it. Thanks for rating

Garchomp@yache berry

252hp/4att./252speed
jolly: sand viel
-stealth rock
-dragon claw
-earthquake
-crunch

Not really hard to figure out this pokemon. A lead that can harm most of common leads with its attack and set up his rocks. I chose yache to tank a ice attack and then set up rocks. Dragon claw and earthquake for powerful stabs and crunch is to hurt gengars and espoeons. The ev's are made to tank an attacks and outspeed a lot of pokemon who think its a slow lead chomp to set up rocks.

Ferrothorn@leftovers
252hp/252def/4spd
relaxed: iron barbs
-gyro ball
-leech seed
-protect
-spikes

My favorite defensive wall. Its main purpose is to adsorb attacks and then set up spikes. Leech seed protect combo makes it really annoying against opponents and compensates for its lack of recovery. Gyro ball does good damage considering its alright attack stat and its low speed stat: combined with 0 speed ivs making it a danger in the metagame. Fire attack spank this thing.

Gyarados@leftovers
252hp/56att./64def/136spD
careful: intimidate
-dragon tail
-waterfall
-rest
-sleep talk

I love dragon tail deals damage and forces a switch! This thing eats attacks that my team is weak to and is able to damage them right back or get them out of there with dragon tail catching my opponent off balance. Intimidate helps him with tanking hits. Rest is great to heal him. And sleep talk just capitalizes for rest making him a threat even asleep. Plus dragon tail can go first off sleep talk. Ev's are my own invention and i like the way there working.

togekiss@lefovers
252hp/6spA/252spD
calm: serene Grace
-air slash
-aura sphere
-roost
-thunder wave

You all know him. You all problem hate him. He acts as my special wall/ para haxer. Air slash is for flinch hax's and to deal stab damage. Aura sphere is to hit mostly ferrothorn hard but also hits other things like lucario and umbreon. Dont like using this hax machine that much but fits into my team well.

Conkeldurr@life orb
252hp/252att/4speed
Adamant: iron fist
-drain punch
-mach punch
-stone edge
-earthquake

One of my faviorte gen. 5 pokemon. He hits harder then a bulldozer. iron fist is great with drain punch and mach punch. mach punch revenge kills and drain punch is to hit hard and recover hit points. Stone edge is for when I predict a chandelure switch in. Earthquake is just a powerful place filler. Ev's are self explainable.

Volcarona@leftovers
108hp/252spA/148speed
Timid: flame body
-bug buzz
-hurricane
-flamethrower
-Quiver dance

Special sweeper of the team. After one dance i have swept teams several times. Bug buzz and flamethrower there for powerful stab. Hurricane over hidden power rock makes more sense to me because with the amount of weather team its accuracy is increases. And with hidden power rock there was some pokemon that i could not hit that commonly switched in. The evs give him 300 speed enough to out speed base 100 without a +speed nature.



 
Dream World or not with you current set a Guts/Orb would benefit your team better.

Also, You might want to add some more info on Conkeldurr and Togekiss.

You also will be walled by a lot of Swamperts and you might want to replace Gyro Ball on Ferrothorn with Power Whip.
