First off, post EVs and items. Second, a neutral nature (such as serious), won't do a hell of a lot of good if this is a competitive team. Third, Floatzel's physical attack is a lot higher than it's special attack. Everything but Waterfall on this set is special.

A Sassy nature lowers speed, one of Infernape's most essential stats. Special Defense, which a Sassy nature accentuates, is not so important. Fire Blast and Flame Wheel on the same set is unnecessary. Re-breed this one for sure.

Giratina's Uber, for starters. Also, Defog sucks -- it doesn't do ANYTHING in competitive play, and barely anything in-game. Slash isn't great competitively, except in the lower tiers. Again, a neutral nature isn't really helping you.

Groudon
Rash Nature
Cave of Origin Met at level 47
Drought
Flame Thrower
SolarBeam
Fissure
Strength

Again, Uber. Again, bad nature. Rash nature is +Sp. Atk, -Atk. Groudon's special attack sucks, at least in comparison to it's physical attack, and again, what appear to be your two main moves are special. OHKO moves like Fissure are rarely allowed competitively. Strength is possibly workable, but there are a lot better move choices for Groudon.

Rayquaza
Hasty Nature

A Hasty nature could actually work, but again, Rayquaza is Uber. You could try for a mixed set:

Rayquaza@Life Orb
Hasty nature
EVs: 40 Atk / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
-- Draco Meteor
-- Fire Blast
-- Thunderbolt/Extremespeed
-- Brick Break/Outrage

Swampert
Quirky nature
Route 101 Met at level 5
Torrent
Ice Beam
Mud Shot
Surf
Hydro Cannon

For a third time, neutral natures are simply not usable competitively. Mud Shot can easily be replaced with Earthquake, and having both Surf and Hydro Cannon on the same set is redundant. Get rid of Hydro Cannon -- any move that requires you to recharge leaves you vulnerable to attack, and while Swampert's defenses are good, they aren't THAT good. It could be replaced with another attack to give it more coverage -- Stone Edge would be best.

Well, there's not a lot more to say. Half of your team is Uber, and therefore won't be allowed in regular competitive play (unless you're battling someone with another Uber team). Most of your pokemon also have natures and moves that either work against their natural strengths, or hider them completely. Sorry to be a mini-mod, here, but there is a thread with the rules for posting on the RMT forum. If you don't want the real mods to yell at you, I highly suggest that you READ IT.

If this is an in-game team only, then that is in direct violation of one of these rules. If it's competitive, then you have a simple format change to do and -- to put it bluntly -- a crappy team. You might look here for some workable suggestions for movesets, EVs, and general strategy.
 
Rash is +SpA -SpD. No matter; it's still bad for Groudon.

I'm honestly sick of all of these teams like this. No one is going to bother reading the rules. What part of NO IN-GAME teams is so hard? Where are your EVs? Items? Did you even research movesets?

I might as well let this subforum go to hell again, because it's going to end up that way no matter what I do.
 
OK puff puff ouff pretty harsh comments but yeah having so many legondaries isnt good and i was thinking of replacing mud shot with earthquake earlier i'll make up a better team later WITHOUT THE LEGONDARIES and what are 'EVs'?
 
were do you get stone edge?(you may think im a dumb battler but my mom hardly lets me play she has something against video games)
 
were do you get stone edge and the life orb AND draco meteor?
