Please help my team! florges inside :p

this is my team, please help me improve this team , i want to maximise its potential! do I need to change a moveset? ev spread? nature? or maybe I have to replace one of the members? pls tell me

pokemon-x-y-greninja-01.jpg

HAKU(greninja)@Life Orb

EVs: 252 Satk / 252 Spe / 4 Hp
Timid
Protean

-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Dark Pulse
-Extrasensory

This is my special attacker, my usual lead, it used to have modest nature, and spikes, but I realised Timid was better for it, it knows toxic spikes as an egg move, I prefered toxic spikes over regular ones, but then I thought that greninja was not bulky enough to take hits to set up hazards, so I taught it extrasensory instead. Any water type can wall greninja, but I could simply switch to venusaur or magnezone, that’s why I decided to teach it extrasensory instead of grass knot, but also because it's the only one who can hurt a poison type that would wall my florges.

FOREST(Venasaur)@Venasaurite

EVs: 252 Hp / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold
Overgrown

-Giga Drain
-Sludge Bomb
-Sleep Powder Roar
-Leech Seed

Mega Venusaur is my physical wall, I replaced energy ball with giga drain as many people suggested and also ditched synthesis and taught it leech seed, now that I don’t have entry hazards on greninja I deleted roar and taught it sleep powder. Giga drain allows me to heal along with leech seed, and are both needed as mega Pokemon can’t hold items.

PHOENIX(Talonflame)@ Leftovers

EVs: 252 Atk / 164 Spe / 92 Hp
Adamant
Gale Wings

-Brave Bird
-Flare Blitz
-Roost
-Bulk Up

Physical sweeper, it used to have swords dance and steel wing instead of roost and bulk up. Also it didn’t use to have an item, I had acrobatics instead of Brave Bird, BB is stronger that item-less acrobatics, and roost and lefties make up for the HP lose.

The weird EV Spread allows me to outspeed max Speed, 100 base Speed Pokemon, and I wouldn’t need much speed because of the priority BB. I’m still not sure if I’m doing the right thing by having bulk up over SS.

FLORA(Florges)@Leftovers

EVs: 252 Hp / 252 Sdef / 4 SAtk
Calm
Flower Veil

-Moon Blast
-Wish
-Protect
-Toxic

My special wall, I also considered aromatherapy over toxic to support the team, But I prefered toxic tos talk other walls to death. It hits really hard even though it has no Satk evs, it has insane special defense and it can take even super efective special attacks. But any physical attack is lethal. Lets me heal my other walls, especially venusaur (who has no healing move) and magnezone which is pretty bulky.


EP577_Gliscor_sonriendo.jpg

VAMPIRESA(Gliscor)@Toxic orb

EVs: 252 204 Hp / 252 Def / 4 52 Spd
Impish
Poison Heal

-Earthquake
-Roost
-Ice Fang
-Knock Off


My other physical wall, some people suggested that I should replace rock slide with ice fang so that I’m not completely walled by other gliscors, it also helps a lot with dragons. It also had toxic, but I taught it knock off instead, which is doing pretty good at crippling Pokemon who rely too much on their items, and especially at getting rid of assault vests and lefties. Earthquake had to be there as it is it's best offensive move, and I don't like having pokemon with no offensive moves at all xd
Changed it's hp EV to 204, that way it's hp is divisible by 8 at level 50 ( I battle wifi only, no showdown), this makes the poison heal recovery more efficient.

JOLTZ(Magnezone)@Leftovers

EVs: 252 Hp / 252 Satk / 4 Def
Modest
Magnet Pull

-Thunder Bolt
-HP fire Thunder wave
-Flash Cannon
-Substitute


My other special attacker, I use magnezone to trap annoying steel types such as brongzong, aegislash, skarmory and kill them with t-bolt, if the opposing Pokemon can barely inflict any damage on magnezone I set up substitute before killing my opponent, to protect against status moves, so I can paralyze or damage whatever comes next before switching out. Venusaur is completely walled by steel types, that’s why I try to Lure steel pokes out and kill them as soon as possible. I decided to teach it HP fire to murder ferrothorn/scizor in one shot. HAHAHA!!! gliscor makes sure to KILL the steel types that florges can't touch.

Overall this is a pretty balanced team but I would recommend giving Florges a Phychic type move(I'd recommend the move Phychic)so you can protect yourself from a poison type pokemon.

Also I'm not sure which move you should get rid of to bring in Phychic as It is a good moveset for a special wall but I would say either moonblast or wish(you're choice really.

Everything else on the team and on Florges is good but just make sure to add in that Phychic if you wish to protect against poison.
 
I also considered teaching Flora psychic but... I don't want to delete any of her current moves... I know she is completely walled by poison and steel types... but she needs the wish+protect combo to heal and heal my other pokemon, she needs toxic, so she can kill other walls, and moonblast is her best attack, STAB + nice coverage + florges' high sp atk = happiness

PLS MORE SUGGESTIONS!! :)
 
Personally I think you need a new mega pokemon and I have just the one. Kangaskan. He is sooo good as a mega since his parental bonding ability is tremendous. Magnezone already is a type against water and kangaskan is a excellent all arounder.
Kangaskan
Item: Kangaskanite
Ability: Scrappy
Nature: Adamant
Ev's: 4 HP, 252 ATK, 252 SPE
Moves:
-Return
-Sucker Punch
-Earthquake
-Power-Up-Punch

Power-Up-Punch is stupid good because it's like a swords dance that does decent damage. Return is very good if you have all friendliness and of course it hits twice allong with all of the other amazing moves. Try this guy :)
 
If you want Florges to have Aromatherapy you can teach Gliscor Toxic, as Gliscor is the game's best Toxic Staller. You could also use Protect over Sub for tons of extra Poison Healing and Toxic damage. If you use Toxic get rid of Ice Fang.

On Zone try Hidden Power Fire. Despite the nerf, it is Zone's only way of touching Ferrothorn, one of the Steels it is specifically designed to trap.

Also, I tend to run U Turn on my Greninjas, but that is more personal preference than anything. If you do choose U Turn remove Extrasensory. Gliscor's EVs should be something more like 252 HP/ 100 Def/ rest in Speed, especially if you run the Toxic Stall set I recommended. You should also change your mega, maybe try the Kangashkan set that was recommended earlier. Anyway good luck, hope I helped, and I will be sure to tell you aanything else I can think of.

do I delete flash cannon in magnezone and replace it with HP fire?

by the way... I don't like mega kangaskhan.. in fact.. I hate it!! I get scared everytime i see a kangaskhan in the team preview, and I laugh madly when i manage ( if I ever manage..) to KILL that thing...
this video clearly describes how I feel when I kill one of those overpowered kangaroos...

 
Maybe delete T Wave, and you could always try other megas, maybe Lucario. Also I noticed no Stealth Rocks, AKA the most important move in the game. I don't know where you would fit it in, maybe Mega Tyranitar. Talonflame also should have Rapid Spin support. Mold Breaker Excadrill has Rapid Spin and can kill Rotom W, Talonflame's worst nightmare. So if you add Mega Tar with Stealth Rocks, and fit Mold Breaker Excadrill in somewhere (I honestly don't know where) then you could have a pretty powerful team.
 
I decided to delete T-wave in magnezone and replace it with HP fire, the problem is... HOW DO I GET HP FIRE!?!? I know HP type depends on the ivs... i don't want to go to breeding Hell again :(
isn't there an easy way? lol

No, have to rebreed.
