Rate My (New) Team

[afro_king]

My first ev trained team, so try not to go too hard on me (it took ALOT of work to get these pokemon ev trained AND shiny).

THE COVERAGE TEAM

I usually base my pokemon's moves on coverage more than anything else, so I often have problems with spikes and such.

EMPOLEON - Life Orb (My primary special sweeper, who has one immunity, and 11 resists.)
Modest - Torrent
HP 324
Attack 170
Defense 226
Sp. Attack 353
Sp. Defense 242
Speed 183

Agility - My pre-sweep move
Surf - Does heavy damage to everything that doesnt resist it
Ice Beam - Coverage against grass types
Grass knot - Again, coverage for pesky walls (ahem, Swampert)

CHARIZARD - Life Orb (Another special sweeper whose speed is very favorable over my slow Empoleon. However, because he is slightly less powerful, he needs Sunny Day to sweep, which also gives it a Solarbeam option.)
Timid - Blaze
HP 312
Attack 166
Defense 206
Sp. Attack 317
Sp. Defense 210
Speed 289

Sunny Day - Again, a pre-sweep move
Solarbeam - No charging turn = fleeing bulky waters (Swampert/Poliwrath)
Flamethrower - Stab fire move
Air Slash - much better than the horrendous move known as fly

SCEPTILE - Leftovers (good special attack and amazing speed makes this pokemon a great sub/seed user)
Timid - Overgrow
HP 293
Attack 168
Defense 179
Sp. Attack 304
Sp. Defense 213
Speed 338

Leech Seed - this + leftovers makes for great recovery
Substitute - perfect when used with leech seed
Energy Ball - Stab grass move
Dragon Pulse - general coverage

ELECTIVIRE - Expert Belt (Hits most types for super-effective damage and the highest attack stat on my team...not to mention earthquake and motor drive)
Adamant - Motor Drive
HP 306
Attack 374
Defense 186
Sp. Attack 186
Sp. Defense 208
Speed 258

Thunder Punch - Stab electric move
Ice Punch - For picking off those ground types
Cross Chop - Powerful move with good coverage
Earthquake - Make Electivire a nightmare for other electric types

GALLADE - Life Orb (I always liked the idea of a physical psychic type, and the fact that it's also a fighting type makes it all the better)
Jolly - Steadfast
HP 293
Attack 344
Defense 185
Sp. Attack 132
Sp.Defense 268
Speed 245

Close Combat - Great Stab move (but makes defenses even worse :( )
Shadow Sneak - Great coverage move for faster psychics and ghosts
Zen Headbutt - Good Stab;more powerful than psycho cut, but no crit
Stone Edge - On the off chance that Gallade is faster than a bird pokemon, this will take it out

GARCHOMP - Life Orb (fast and bulky enough to sweep like a pro)
Jolly - Sand Veil
HP 372
Attack 354
Defense 240
Sp. Attack 159
Sp.Defense 210
Speed 299

Swords Dance -Used once means no one stands up to outrage and lives to tell the tale
Outrage - Great Stab (too bad for confusion)
Earthquake - Another great Stab
Fire Fang - just in case some ice type decides to try an ice beam

So what do you think? It may not be the best team, but its probably not one of the worst either... XD

First and foremost, Garchomp is in the Uber tier, so you can't use it in normal battles. Second off, it is much more helpful if you post EVs instead of stats so we can see what spread you're running.
Third off, your team makes little sense. You don't have a lead, all of your pokemon except for Empoleon are frail and can't switch into anything, and your movesets are questionable at best (For example, Sceptile, and Empoleon hate having Sunny Day up, and only Charizard benefits.). Take a look around Smogon's website and learn a bit more about the metagame. After you do, I'd love to help you out. But this team is kind of beyond help right mow.

You need to provide EV spreads, not final stats for your Pokemon. Also note that Garchomp is uber in Gen IV. Fix your thread as soon as possible or I'll have to lock it.
