New team!

OK here is my team:

Ambipom@ silk scarf
adamant
evs-252 attack/speed
fake out
u-turn
double hit
return

i know it doesn't cover a lot but it's mostly just to get in the flinch and for scouting. Double hit gets STAB silk scarf technician bonus. u-turn is for scouting. Fake out is for first turn flinch. return is for power. adamant nature for power boost.

Arcanine@ life orb
jolly
evs-252 attack/speed
flare blitz
thunder fang
iron tail
extremespeed

Arcanine is a beast!!! jolly nature for extra speed to (hopefully) outspeed gyarados and get in a thunder fang. flare blitz for sheer power. extremespeed for revenge kills and iron tail for rock types. i really like this guy.

Marowak@ thick club
jolly
evs-252 attack and speed
earthquake
bonemerang
stone edge
double edge

Marowak with thick club ends up with 400 something attack. that is amazing. he has earthquake for power, bonemerang to break substitutes and because i don't have acces to 3rd gen move tutor moves. stone edge because i already used my rock slide tm and ill take the added power over accuracy. double edge is awesome since i take no backlash.

vaporeon@ leftovers
calm
evs-252 hp 200def 58 sp.attack
surf
wish
protect
ice beam

my favorite special wall. can beat garchomp with ice beam if he isn't holding yache berry. sur for fire types when arcanine is down. wish for support and healing. protect for stalling while i gain lefties and wish health and for scouting.

Dusknoir@ leftovers
impish
evs-252 hp/def
will-o-wisp
fire punch
thunder punch
pain split

my tank/physical wall. will-o-wisp for major status and move weakening. pain split for health reduction and blissey. wait, did he just say blissey? yes i di pain split reduces blisseys health more than any other move! fire punch for grass types. thunder punch for gyarados.

Dragonite@ yache berry
jolly
evs- 252 attack/speed
fire punch
dragon dance
earthquake
outrage

my sweeper. Standard DDnite set. fire punch for steelt types like bronzong. earthquake for fire etc. outrage for dragons and all other non steel types. dragton dance to boost my stats.

thnx for teh rates guys. dont go too hard on me!:)
 
On Ambipom I would personally go with Brick Break instead of Return. Double-Hit is already more powerful then Return due Technican, so unless you got some accuracy issues you should probably stick to Double-Hit. Brick Break would help you out immensely against the common dual screen Deoxys-S leads as it will break the screens. I've seen some sort of screen in like 75% of the teams I've encoutered lately, so it's definitely a good investment as you indeed rely on some power to knock out some threats.

I'll also suggest using Spiritomb in favor of Dusknoir, who'll let your team handle Lucario a lot better. Spiritomb will also deal with the freaking SubGengar, and that's an important Pokémon to cover as it potentially can rip your whole team apart. Calm RestTalk Shadow Ball Will-o-Wisp would let you deal with both Lucario and Gengar.

With Dusknoir gone you'll need something else to deal with Gyarados though, and running HP Electric on Vaporeon would help you out immensely, and is generally a better choice for taking care of Gyarados anyway. Imo you'd need Ice Beam more then you'll need Surf. Vaporeon is your only answer to DDMence, and Dragonite for that matter, so I would probably replace either Surf or Protect.
On the EV-spread, Vaporeon will abuse its defences better by using more defence and less HP. I would probably go with 252 Def and Bold nature, as you're mostly going to switch in on physical attackers. You'll counter both Heatran and Infernape fine without SpD really, and they're the only reason to run SpD imo.

Good luck with your team. :) I hope you find my rating useful.
