This is my first ever attempt at a team built from scratch. I have used flawless ditto to give some good ivs and rng abused just for the shiny-ness!

Physical sweeper:
Blaziken (shiny coz i love it!)
Mild
Max ivs in Defense and Speed.
Evs 254 att 4 def 252 Speed
Moveset Giga impact, Earthquake, Sky uppercut, Blaze kick.

Natures not great. Lowering def is a pity as it cancels out the 31 IVs but defense isn't my focus. I have maxed speed so he hopefully attacks first with a maxed out physical move to KO. Question is should i replace blaze kick with a highet powered special fire move to utilize his nature?

Special sweeper
Gardevoir (also shiny)
Modest
Trace
Max ivs in sp att, speed, attack
Evs 252 speed 252 sp attack 6 sp def
Moveset Hyper beam, Psychic, Energy Ball,

Sp attack is insane! Again- counting on hitting first to avoid being KOd by a physical move as def is very low! What should be her 4th move?

So yeah any advice appreciated, on any aspect of these pokemon or any additional team members! Thanks
 
Well Blaziken is only usable in the ubers tier whilst Gardevoir performs awfully in it. Anyhow, Blaziken should be adamant (For max attack) and Hyper Beam and Giga Impact are bad moves. They have 150 base power over two turns. Another move can hit twice in that time, causing considerably more damage.

I was going for 1 hit KOs with those moves as if i try to hit twice that leaves these guys open to attack which thay won't really survive....
 
Blaze Kick has higher base power than Giga Impact when you factor in STAB. It also doesn't leave you set up bait on the switch. Hyper Beam and Giga Impact are both really awful moves.
 
For blaziken I would suggest the kamikaze approach:physical sweeper:

Blaziken (shiny just "coz" you love it!) holding life orb
Lonley
Max ivs in Attack and Speed.
Evs 254 att 4 def 252 Speed
Moveset: Brave bird, Earthquake, Hi jump kick, Flare blitz.

He can sweep his way through pretty much anything slower than it, if you want to lessen the risk of being outsped, choice scarf works nice and the risk of jumpkick injury can be cut using a wide lens.
