Rate my First real team.

Delio

Ahem this is my first real competitive team and i really need advice on making it better than it could be in my eyes.

Yanmega@Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: ?
Nature: Modest
Protect
Bug Buzz
Air Slash
Hypnosis

My standard lead. Protect to raise speed then get a hypnosis in on whatever is standing in it's way. I dont have a clue with EV's yet and dont want to completely copy smogon's EV spread. Mainly for seeing what is out and if anything threatens my Bug it swicthes out to either wall.

Gliscor@Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
Evs:252Hp/4atk/252Def
Nature: Impish
Aerial Ace
Roost
Ice Fang
Earthquake

My Great Wall. If the Bug is threatened with a physical threat i can switch to Gliscor and Roost off the damage. Ice Fang is there for Garchomp trying to ruin my fun with aerial Ace for the odd Heracross.

Blissey@Leftovers
Ability:Natural Cure
Evs: 148Hps/252Def/108SpA
Nature:Bold
IceBeam
ThunderBolt
Thunderwave
Softboiled

Mutipurpose special wall that comes in if my Bug is threaten by something special.Can hit with IceBeam to help with any rampaging ground types and can thunderwave anyone that tries to bother it.

Azelf@Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Evs: 36 HP / 252 SpA / 220 Spe
Nature: Timid
Grass Knot
Nasty Plot
Psychic
Flamethrower

My Special sweeper that really relys on Jolteon to pass it a Sub to hide behind so it can nasty plot in piece. My first EV trained poke so i have a soft spot for it and would want it to not be taken out my team.

Jolteon@Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
Evs:4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
Baton Pass
Thunderbolt
HP Ice
Substitute

Jolteon i want to use as a Sub passer giving one to Azumarill or Azelf so they can sweep without danger. He can also come in late game and provice some nice kills for me when most of it's threats are dead.

AzuMarill@Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
Evs:212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spe
Nature: Adamant
WaterFall
Focus Punch
Double Edge
Aqua Jet

Kinda weird i know to have the aqua rabbit there but i want to use it as my physical sweeper hiding behind a Sub. Focus Punch nees that subto really get it off but overall i can bring it in mid game and help out.

Okay so the only threats i can really see me having are ghosts and possibly steel's if Azelf is tooken down early. Any advice on making my team even more complete is greatly wanted i only ask that Azelf is left in my team as i have a place in my heart for her.
 
Ugh, not much synergy at all here. Bad movesets too.

Basically, it really needs a total rebuild. As of now, you have a lot of purely defensive pokemon slapped together with purely offensive pokemon, and the result is a team that just doesn't look like it works well together.

I think you seem to be more interested in an offensive team than a defensive team, so I'd take out Gliscor and Blissey for LO DD Gyarados and Scarf Heatran. This gives you a lot more offensive firepower, yet still provides solid defensive coverage.

Gyarados would have Life Orb with 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature, with Waterfall/Dragon Dance/Stone Edge/Ice Fang. Heatran would be Naive with 252 Spd / 252 SAtk, with Fire Blast/Earth Power/Hidden Power Ice/Explosion.

Max out Azelf's speed; I'd probably prefer Thunderbolt over Grass Knot.

I dunno, since both Azelf and Yanmega hate Blissey (though Yanmega should have HP Ground > Protect), and Gyarados can't switch into Heatran forever I wonder if Dugtrio wouldn't work there over Jolteon.

Dugtrio @ Choice Band
Ability: Arena Trap
EVs: 252 Atk / 234 Spd / 24 SDef
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace
- Sucker Punch
- Stone Edge/Pursuit

Not only does it trap things like Blissey and Heatran and KO them or at least dent them, but the Pursuit/Punch combo allows you to effectively "trap" levitating ghosts like Gengar and Mismagius.

Finally, I would sub Azumarill for a Swords Dance Emploeon. While it may not have as much immediate hitting ability, and it's base attack is low, it's typing, bulkiness and access to Aqua Jet allow it to be a potent force.

Emploeon @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
148 HP / 252 Atk / 110 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Swords Dance
- Avalanche
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I really dont like Emploeon though for a ton of reasons but the set seems nice. I had considered Gyarados but he seems so standard and boring. Thunderbolt i had considered And only used Grassknot for stuff like tyranitar.

But i will consider the changes while i plan thanks.
