Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

- Toxic

a good tank that can take a hit and recover from it
also foulplay is good for a surprise attack
protect and toxic to drain them away while keeping her on the field

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

good special sweeper with the same idea as darmanitan but much faster and will usually OHKO most opponents

really nothing special here i apologiz ejust a good pokemon to set up with spikes then use whirlwind to get bog threats out of the way and roost to keep it up and brave bird so it can do some damage if backed into a corner

like i said i apologize if this is not as well detailed as it should but i will answer as many questions as possible and am more than welcome to any way to improve the team i am told it is good but im sur eit can be better
 
First things first, fix your EV's. Almost everything in the game needs odd hp, because residual damage rounds down. This means that you get to switch in 5 times instead of 4 with rock-weak pokes like Kyurem and Darmanitan, assuming no damage taken or healed. This I've seen matter against teams with several walls that spam roar/ww with hazards up, since something with 1 hp is better than something that is dead.

What exactly are you trying to hit with HP dark on Alakazam? Most things that are weak to dark are also weak to bug, so it's redundant coverage. Why not Energy Ball (for Rotom W, Gastrodon, and Quagsire; all of which are at least somewhat popular), Focus Blast (if willing to deal with the inaccuracy, ohko's most pursuit trappers if it does hit), Shadow Ball (hits everything that HP Dark hits, only harder), HP Ice/Ground/Rock/anything else that isn't redundant coverage with what you're already using...

Toxic > Poison Powder. Does the same thing, more accuracy.

Since you don't already have something that uses it, consider dropping Skarm's spikes for Stealth Rock. Stealth Rock hits more targets than spikes, including ones that you'd want to take more damage (like Flying and Bug types).
 
Hey man. You also want Rock Slide over Stone Edge on Darm. Sheer Force makes it have 97.5 Power instead of 100, so it's a little weaker, but it's way more Accurate.

I also recommend this Kyurem Set: 56 HP 236 Special attack 216 speed and Sub, Ice Beam, Fusion Bolt, Earth Power. This set will wreck teams, especially stall, and is arguably it's best set.

Also run U-Turn over Earthquake on Darm for Utility, and also consider a Scarf over Life Orb. It's not a bad team by any means, so definitely give a thought to some of my and Emmy's changes.

Take care man.

thanks bro appreciate it
 
I would recommend choice specs on the alakazam, and life orb something else. Also, Darmanitan could be switched with a better option for a physical sweeper... not to be a fanboy but namely Breloom, Lucario, etc. I'd recommend energy ball on Alakazam instead of hp dark... more coverage. And you are a little wall/tank heavy between Skarory Venusaur and Umbreon. That's about all I have to say. Personally, I would go all out annoying set on Mega Venusaur with Giga Drain, Ingrain, Leech Seed, and Sludge Bomb, but I'm weird. So yeah, happy battling.
