Rate my team?

This is the first time I'm asking a rmt. My ps ranking is really low and I have been into competitive for a year. I accept all criticism as it allows me to correct what I have done wrong

Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Energy Ball

Gardevoir is my main special wall and mega. Gardevoir is mainly used to counter roton wash and Swampert since my team lacks a grass type and also setting up a possible sweep with calm mind


Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spd
Impish Nature
- Protect
- Toxic
- Substitute
- Earthquake

Gliscor is my physical wall as my sweepers are fairly frail so I have something to switch into. He is basically a stall Gliscor to help wall jolteons or volt switch users. Basically anything that is after than greninja


Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Extrasensory
- Dark Pulse

Greninja is my special sweeper. Since my team lacks space I decided to put greninja as he is basically a water, dark, ice and psychic type. He mainly counters venusaurs(not mega) and gliscors.


Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Defog
- Heat Wave
- Extrasensory

I could not find a suitable rapid spinner so I wanted a defogger instead. Since my team does not abuse entry hazards defogger works well. My only option was Zapdos as I needed a counter to water types which is why I did not put Latias and other defoggers were either too weak, frail or slow. I felt that Zapdos does not have the bulk to wall things to I did not make it a staller.


Talonflame @ Leftovers
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Roost
- U-turn

At first I used did not even consider putting talonflame into my team. However I lacked a priority move and I do not have a good counter to mega venusaurs which are my main problem. Talonflame is only here to revenge kill or counter grass types


Sableye @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Toxic
- Recover

This is my counter to pokemon who setup entry hazards such as galvantula. I did not want foul play as sableye is more of the stalling kind. Will-o-wisp is for physical attackers like garchomp. Toxic is for blissey or basically any special attackers. Recover is to stall my opponent into dying of burn/poison.

If you do rate my team I I thank you in advance. It's my first time doing a rmt so I'm not sure if I did it right. All criticism is welcomed. The more the better.
 
My best advice would be to replace Sableye with a different pokemon. you already have a toxic stall
in Gliscor, if you want a pokemon that knows will o wisp, then there are better options, I however would
recommend a Ferrothorn, as it would work well with your team. Granted Ferrothorn wouldn't know will o wisp,
but you could give it a power whip, gyro ball, thunder wave and stealth rock. I think you'll find that to
work better with your team than your Sableye.
 
Thanks. However I do not use sableye for will-o-wisp toxic stalling. Sableye's main purpose is taunting so stalling pokemon cannot do much. Thanks for your advice I'll try to change it.
