Counter on Alakazam is horrible. It couldn't live any blow. For it I would try:

Alakazam @ Choice Specs/Scarf
Synchronize
Timid for Specs, Modest for Scarf
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

- Trick
- Shadow Ball
- Signal Beam
- Psychic

It does have Focus Sash in the OP?

 

[Grisly Bear]

even if it survived the hit its attack is so bad it woulent do anything, even to deoxys-A

 

[sqwat500]

try this special sweeper charizard set

Charizard
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Naughty
EV spread: 252 speed, 200 sp. attack, 58 attack
Item: Life orb
Moveset:
Flamethrower
Earthquake
Dragon Pulse
Air Slash

Counter has nothing to do with Alakazam's attack stat. It just returns damage done to it in... double? I think.

I personally wouldn't have Counter on Alakazam anyway, but it's interesting if the Sash can work because you could use the fact that your opponent might try to abuse Alakazam's low defense stat.

 

[Johto Trainer]

Yeah, I think that it does double.

I would never use Counter on Ala, but I guess the sash could make it work.

Anyways, what about a set like this:

Alakazam @ Light Clay
Timid 252 HP/ 216 Speed/ 40 Def
Ability: Inner Focus
~ Reflect
~ Light Screen
~ Encore
~ Psychic/ Taunt

This is a great lead set. Inner Focus prevents Flinching, so Fake Out will not work, giving Ala the opening to set up Dual Screens. Encore tricks your opponent into a supporting move, forcing a switch. It's your choice between Taunt and Psychic, go with Psychic if you wanna cause damage, ot Taunt if you don't want your opponent to set up.

How much do screens raise defences by?

try this special sweeper charizard set

Charizard

Nature: Naughty

Item: Life orb

I was trying to decide between physical and special sweeper for charizard, looking over his stats this is a better idea thanks

I notice that you have a Life Orb Flare Blitz Charizard but no Rapid Spinner...I don't know how you expect Zard to hang around if your opponent sets up Rocks(which pretty much is on every team these days). Maybe put on Donphan or Claydol instead of Armaldo?

The idea was to try stop rocks with taunt lead alakazam, but I am going to put a rapid spinner in.
ty for the help

Honestly, I feel like Special oriented Charizard is just pathetic compared to standard Bellyzard.
Timid Nature, 252 Atk / Speed
@ Salac Berry
~ Substitute
~ Belly Drum
~ Fire Punch
~ Earthquake / Outrage | Dragon Claw

Needs serious back up and support, especially Spin support, but once it gets in, Bellyzard seriously rips through a LOT.

 

[Caffeine Free]

Looks to me like you need a rapid spiner. i would suggest something like
Hitmontop @ Leftovers
Technician
Adamant
252HP/252Att/4Def
Rapid Spin
Foresight
Drain Punch
Stone Edge/Rest
Stone Edge if you want to be able to set up or Rest if you want recovery.
Hope I helped
