My soulsilver team!

I have a plan two make three fully EV trained teams in Soulsilver for competitive battling, one for each starter you get in the game. This is the first one I trained, with the johto starter. Please rate! Thanks! I'll probably transfer this to PBR...

Dr. Jimmy(Meganium) @ light clay
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 252 Hp/252 SpD/4 SpA
Sassy nature
-Giga Drain
-Earthquake
-Reflect
-Light Screen

Jimmy is mainly there for support, with his light clay and dual screens. I considered putting aromatherapy in place of EQ, but realized that would leave him helpless to a lot of things. Dual screens help the remainder of my team to destroy things without much to worry about. Jimmy also has great synergy with Slowbro.

Durpy(Slowbro) @ Leftovers
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 Hp/ 252 Def/ 4 SpD
Bold Nature
-Surf
-Psychic
-Slack Off
-Yawn

Durpy is my physical wall, and it does great against fighting types and the like. I often start off with yawn, before using slack off to heal up any beating Durpy took. Then I pummel the opposition with my STAB moves.

Okami(Ninetales) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
Modest Nature
-Flamethrower
-Nasty Plot
-Energy Ball
-Extrasensory

Okami is my beloved special sweeper, who tends to wreck unprepared opponents. Flamethrower and Energy Ball have amazing coverage, and a +2 boosted STAB flamethrower usually takes a huge chunk out of opponents with a neutral weakness, or even KOs it.

Thandah(Ampharos) @ Leftovers
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 Hp/ 252 SpA/ 4 SpD
Modest Nature
-Thunderbolt
-Focus Blast
-Heal Bell
-Thunder Wave

Thandah is my bulky attacker, and usually I send him out to deal with faster opponents. First I T-wave, then I pound them with my moves. Heal Bell is used for more of a support role, and it makes up for Jimmy's lack of aromatherapy.

Koboi(Honchkrow) @ life orb
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 252 Att/ 196 Spe/ 60 Hp
Adamant nature
-Sucker Punch
-Drill Peck
-Taunt
-Roost

Koboi is my go-to guy for countering sleep-inducers, and servers as a reliable physical attacker in general. He counters psychics, and his dual STABs pack a punch. Taunt and sucker punch and a great combo, and roost heals life orb damage and any other beatings Koboi might take while kicking butt.

FreezBeast(Mamoswine) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 252 Att/ 4 Spe/ 252 Hp
Adamant nature
-Earthquake
-Avalanche
-Ice Shard
-Stealth Rock

FreezBeast is my second bulky attacker, except he's physical, unlike Thandah. Lum Berry is to heal burns, and SR is there for.... Well, mainly for filler, actually... Avalanche and ice shard are actually a pretty a good combo. And since Freez is so bulky, he can easily tank a hit and pull off a super powerful Avalanche.


So that's my Soulsilver team! Feel free to give feedback on ways I can improve it. Thanks!
 
Altogether, this team is quite a well rounded and balanced team, with different pokemon playing different roles. Perhaps Mamoswine could carry Thick Fat instead of Snow Cloak so as to play it's role as a tank better, since it mitigates its Fire and Ice weaknesses. I understand that Honchkrow cannot carry Brave Bird due to breeding constraints and recoil damage, but if not, I highly recommend you to include it rather than drill peck. I also understand that Meganium cannot carry Synthesis due to four moveslot syndrome, but once again, to keep Meganium's lifespan prolonged, Synthesis could be useful.
All I can say is pursue battling, stay wary and continue to cultivate your love for competitive battling!

Apologies for my mistake. Mamoswine with Thick Fat is impossible without Dream World, and it was not present at the time of Soulsilver. You should only take note of the changes I mentioned above if the team is being transferred to PS, since Evasion Clause makes Snow Cloak out of the question.
