goldenfirewolf

i wanted to try make a HO team with skarm lead and a scarf lele

Skarmory @ Custap Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Taunt
- Brave Bird

skarm is a reliable setter of at least one layer of spikes or stealth rock and can taunt on defog attempts and doesn't make it setup bait and can ko it self with brave bird 252 atk and adamant to give brave bird the most power. I didn't want skarm to be bulky so it could let my other mons in more easily by being ko'ed

Tapu Lele @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Shadow Ball
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast

my scarfer and lategame cleaner its psychic terrain lets it ignore priority and boosts it psyshock. Psyshock and moonblast for stab focus miss for steels and shadow ball for ghost and psychic.

Nidoking (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Sludge Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower

I love its raw power with life orb and sheer force along side fantastic coverage. earth power and slugde wave for stab flamethrover for ferrothorn and corviknight
and thunderbolt for waters and flying types.

Cinderace @ Life Orb
Ability: Libero
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Zen Headbutt
- High Jump Kick
- Pyro Ball

Cinderace has fantastic coverage like nidoking but has libero and is much faster. Gunk shot for fairies, zen headbutt for toxapex and high jump kick is just really good like pyro ball. hjk is necessary for its many super effektive targets like pyro ball. zen headbutt and gunk shot is necessary for cinderace's checks like fini and toxapex. the only mon that can wall cinderace is slowbro wich isn't great but I have other mons that can deal with it

Dragonite @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake

maybe the best sweeper and can destroy team with a boost from ddance and weakness policy. outrage for stab, fire punch an earthquake for steels. it cant do much to fairies but it hasn't a move for fairies. you can swap fire punch out for ice punch but ferrothorn and corviknight is more important.

Magearna @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Calm Mind
- Flash Cannon

magearna is one of the most bulky sweepers while still doing a lot of damage. calm mind for power boost, boltbeam coverage is always good and flash cannon for a reliable stab.

I hope that I can get some help on the evs and some of the moves but the team works really well as it is now
 
I personally like your team! However, there are some improvements that could be made.

It may seem stupid for me to say that you should use a physical king, but Nidoking has a 102 attack and an 85 sp. attack. Also, Nidoking has Fire Punch and Ice Punch, both solid move choices as a replacement to Flamethrower and Ice Beam.

So here is the set.
Nidoking (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Poison Jab
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch

I know Earthquake does not give the Sheer Force boost anymore, but it still does solid damage.

Also I would not prefer using Outrage on Dragonite. Dragon Claw is always a better choice because it has no drawback and it does not 'trap' Dragonite. Also consider replacing Dual Wingbeat with Fire Punch or Earthquake (I would prefer you replacing fire punch)

If you want Cinderace to be an all-out attacker, do not change Cinderace's moveset, but consider using this set instead
THIS IS OPTIONAL
Cinderace @ Heavy Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Court Change
- U-turn
- High Jump Kick
- Pyro Ball

These are some of my recommendations.

Physical nidoking is cringe. 1. it doesn't get affected by intimidate 2. doesn't have to worry about barbs/rocky helmet/ rough skin 3. It's special moves are all stronger than most of it's physical moves with eq and earth power being the exception. Plus court change cinderace is bad, it wants actual moves to cover for it's weaknesses. dual wingbeat is almost a necessary move on dragonite providing it with a power STAB flying move that can break sash.
