So this is the team im currently using, it has been redone almost 10 times (no exadurating). I only recently started wifi battling, but im trying hard to improve myself. Mainly by watching wifi battles on youtube, and of course practicing against random people on serebii.

Hippowdon

Earthquake
Stone Edge
Stealth Rock
Slack Off

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Sand Storm

Adamant Nature, max attack, defence... decent special defence, decent speed, no special attack to speak of.

Lanturn

Surf
Thunderbolt
Icebeam
Sleep Talk

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb

Modest nature, very high special attack and special defence, decent defence and speed, almost no attack.

Blaziken

Flare Blitz
Brave Bird
Blaze Kick
Sky Uppercut

Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze

Impish nature, high attack, high special attack, average speed, defence and special defence

Lucario

Extreme Speed
Close Combat
Swords Dance
Blaze Kick

Item: Life Orb
Ability: Steadfast

Adamant nature, high attack, high speed, everything else is kinda mediocre.

Celebi

Hyper Beam
Grass Knot
Leech Seed
Recover

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure

Note: I used to have thunder wave instead of hyper beam, but I really got tired of not having a strong attack when I needed it most.

Naughty Nature, everything looks decent except special defence which is a little lower than I would like. If its a no legends battle I switch it out for venusaur.

Blissey

Flamethrower
Toxic
Soft Boiled
Earthquake

Note: This is my toxic stall Blissey, I use it to stall special attackers.

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure

Docile Nature, everything looks about average for a Blissey
 
I absolutely adore my Lanturn (I've a thing for OU and NU Pokemon) but I wouldn't suggest Sleep Talk. Rest is an ideal move because as you know, Lanturn has a great deal of HP. Rest and Lum Berry wold be a good combination.

If you have Platinum, teaching Lanturn Bounce or Swagger might not be a bad idea. You have good STAB for Surf and Thunderbolt and Ice Beam is good coveraged against Dragonite's and Garchomp's, but you should probably include a Status move instead of Sleep Talk.


Edit: You obviously have Platinum to have Sleep Talk. :/ *_*
 
how high is your blissey's hp it already has leftovers,so if you think its high enough get rid of softboiled and replace it with solarbeam or maybe iron tail
 
Either Rest + Lum Berry or Thunderwave on Lanturn seeing as it's somewhat slow.

Flare Blitz and Blaze Kick on Blaziken doesn't do you any favours coverage wise. Replace one of them (I would say Blaze Kick) with either Thunderpunch to get Gyarados on the switch or EQ. Seeing as it has Choice Scarf, you'll be switching a lot so go for Superpower over Sky Uppercut as the drop wont effect you much.

Never use Hyper Beam and its variants. It leaves you vunerable to be set up on and you can easily do more damage over two turns with a different move.

Also EQ on Blissey is useless as her attack sucks.

Sorry I'm not much help. I'm not great at rating but there are some others on here that are really experienced so they can help more. Also post EVs.

Well I use it mainly as a special wall and to toxic stall so its probably better to have softboiled.

HP is 675 I believe

I'll do that.

I don't know the level 100 ev's mainly because most of them are 65-70. But I can assure you I did EV train to the best of my ability.
 
Blissey shouldn't be using Earthquake for sure. She can learn Ice Beam for some coverage or protect to help Toxic stall. I would suggest Wish as your healing move in this case over Softboiled if you were on a battle simulator, but as a wifi team, you're going to have to stick with it.

On Lucario, while the fire move is nice for hitting Bronzong and Skarmory, I'm pretty sure you can 2HKO those guys with neutral Close Combat after a Swords Dance anyway (not sure on that; I'd have to actually check). You might be better off using either Crunch for Dusknoir who can come in on your other moves and burn you, or Ice Punch for other common switch-ins like Gliscor, Salamence or Donphan.

If you're going with Lum + Rest on Lanturn, you might consider a Chesto Berry instead. If you get hit with a status, Lum will cure it, leaving you unable to Rest without taking two turns. If you use Chesto, you will be able to Rest off both the damage and the status and end up completely cured.

On Celebi, consider Substitute over Hyper Beam. Subseeding with Recover is a total bitch to take out. Although as you mentioned above, this does leave you somewhat lacking in coverage.

On the point of natures, if you are willing to put the effort into it, you should definitely get Adamant or Jolly for Blaziken, Bold or Calm for Celebi, and Bold or Calm for Blissey. Lanturn would probably like to be calm, and Hippowdon would be better off Impish, but I think those two are less important than the first set.

If I remember correctly most were hand leveled up to 65 or so. Others I attained through trades or other means and used drugs to beef them up.
 
well yea, but i mean how many of each ev did you give to each?

such as your blazekin would most likely want to be 252 spe 252 att 4 hp,


oh and quickly looking over it

why would you have sleep talk and no rest on lanturn?
why do you have blazekick and flare blitz on blazekin?
hyperbeam is a horrible attack because of the wasted go after, dont use it
earthquake on blissey is rather silly with it's base 10 attack

dont mean to be all negative, but you really need to have a look through smogon or spend some time on shoddy so you really know what your doing :)
 
I have been making changes based on what people are telling me.

And I do check smogon for stats and suggestions.
