Please be as detailed as possible:
WiFi Online Play Team/Balanced team:
PKMN#1:Name:Skipper/Swampert
Male/100/Torrent/Quirky
Item:Leftovers
Popularity: My personal fave and my mascot.
Attacks:Earthquake, Protect, Surf, Hammer Arm.
Summary: Earthquake replaced Mud Shot/Bomb as the ground attack. Protect, To Shield against those uber-loving Groudon with solarbeam. Yes, they're out there.Surf, Now I normally don't use HM's for serious movesets, but being a powerful water attack with good accuracy, it replaced Muddy Water. Hammer Arm: Still there. I love it. Plus, its another attack i can use to destroy the Dialga nuts.Go Skipper!

PKMN#2:Abominable/Abomasnow Male/100/Snow Warning/Timid
Item:Rawst Berry (Heals Burns)
Attacks:, Blizzard, Ice Punch, Wood Hammer, GrassWhistle.
Summary: Abominable is a Physical/Special Sweeper. Ice Punch, Physical Ice Attack to Match ATK. Blizzard: High powered backup Ice Attack. Wood Hammer is a nice Physical Grass moves, and Grasswhistle to put target asleep so I can use the attacks.

PKMN#3: Toxigunk/Toxicroak
Male/100/Anticipation/Naughty
Attacks:EarthQuake, Poison Jab, Faint Attack, Revenge.
Summary: Ah yes, Toxigunk. This one is a WTF i didnt know <insert Pokemon name> could learn a <insert type> attack! Combine that with deadly speed and awesome attack, and it's no wonder he's my 3rd. Edit: Earthquake isnt Physical, but Stronger than Mud Bomb. Poison Jab for Physical-ness and Accuracy. And the other 2 stay

PKMN#4:Geocrunch/Garchomp
Female/100/Sand Viel/Quiet
Item:Aspear Berry(Cures Frozen) Attacks:EarthQuake, Fire Fang, Dragon Rush, Crunch.
Summary: Earthquake>Dig. Fire Fang Stays. Dragon rush is physical. And Crunch is just awesome.

PKMN#5:Nidoking
Male/100/PoisonPoint/Relaxed
Item:poison Barb
Attacks: Focus Blast, Poison Jab (Powered up by Poison Barb), Megahorn, Earth Power.
Summary: Physical Sweeper, Nuff' said. No, not enough, Focus Blast>Double Kick. Even though FB is Special, it is still LOADS stronger than double kick. Poison Jab, cuz Poison Sting sucks.

PKMN#6:BabaLolo/Machamp
Male/100/Guts/Hardy
Attacks:Cross Chop, Mega Kick, Stone Edge, Dynamic Punch.
Summery:powerhouse. Low PP, high Damage.
Thanks for Rating! Check out My Crystal Team! Just because My Pokemon are not perfect doesn't mean you see me as any less of a person, right?

...let's reformat this first, yeah? We'll rate along the way. Please note: you have not listed the Natures or EV spreads for anyone on this team, so these ratings are very limited and assume the pokemon's role based on the movesets. Missing info is bolded.

Swampert (male) @ Leftovers
Nature / Torrent
EV Spread
-Mud Bomb
-Mud Shot
-Muddy Water
-Hammer Arm
Summary: The Last-Resort guy. I'll bring him in when all else fails. Occasionally sweeper; only when type advantages are at hand. Go Skipper!

1:Mud Shot and Mud Bomb are redundant and outstripped by Earthquake. If you cannot spare the TM, trade for it.
2: Surf > Muddy Water.
3: Hammer Arm doesn't really hit anything that your other attacks don't already kill. So basically, replace ALL moves.
4: Why is he listed first if he's a "last resort" guy? You don't start the battle with the last resort pokemon.
5:plus, you need to take into account your EVs and Nature.


Abomasnow (male) @ Rawst Berry (Heals Burns)
Nature / Snow Warning
EV Spread
-Swagger
-Ingrain
-Ice Shard
-Wood Hammer
Summary: Abominable is a Physical/Special Sweeper. Occasionally what I like to call a douscher. (Incorrectly spelled on purpose). A douscher is a personal term of mine for a PKMN that inflicts status conditions and heals itself. Using WoodHammer after Swagger is his surefire KO.

1: NO RAWST BERRY. Abomasnow will NEVER be burnt. If it is hit with a fire attack, it is dead. Period.
2: Ingrain without Substitute is just asking for a Pyro-wielder to come in and destroy it.
3: Swagger guarantees nothing. If anything, it's a surefire way to self destruct. Recoil damage + doubled attack damage = death.
4: We need EVs and Nature...


Toxicroak (male) @ No Item?!
Nature / Ability
EV Spread
-Mud Bomb
-Sludge Bomb
-Faint Attack
-Revenge

Summary: Ah yes, Toxigunk. This one is a WTF i didnt know <insert Pokemon name> could learn a <insert type> attack! Combine that with deadly speed and awesome attack, and it's no wonder he's my 3rd.

1: It needs an item.
2: Mud Bomb and Sludge Bomb are SPECIAL attacks. Toxicroak is a physical attacker.
3: Evs + Nature


Garchomp (female) @ Aspear Berry
Nature / Sand Veil
EV Spread
-Dig
-Fire Fang
-Dragon Pulse
-Attract
Summary:A surprisingly strategic Pokemon with a Fire Type Attack to defend itself against ice attackers which would kill her otherwise.

1: NO ASPEAR BERRY. Garchomp will NOT survive any decent ice attack, much less get frozen by it.
2: No Dig. It's a free swap for the opponent to switch to a flyer. Use Earthquake!!
3: Dragon Pulse is a SPECIAL attack. Garchomp is a physical sweeper. Use Dragon Claw/Outrage. Unless you're going for mixed sweeper...but I doubt that.
4: Attract? Garchomp isn't a staller.
5: Ice attacks come from non-ice type ALL THE TIME.
6: Evs / Nature pl0x


Nidoking (male) @ Poison Barb
Nature / Poison Point
EV Spread
-Double Kick
-Poison Sting (Powered up by Poison Barb)
-Megahorn
-Earth Power
Summary: Physical Sweeper, Nuff' said.

1: Poison Barb? No. Poison Sting still fails with that item.
2: Double Kick is weak.
3: EVs, Nature


Machoke (male) @ item?
Nature / Ability
EV Spread
-Flamethrower
-Mega Kick
-Revenge
-Dynamic Punch
Summery: Emergency Phys. Sweeper and uses Flamethrower to help Protect GeoCrunch From Ice Types.

1: Trade for a Machamp. Now.
2: Give it an item.
3: Flamethrower is a SPECIAL attack. Machamp is a physical attacker (with no exceptions).
4: Mega Kick is too inaccurate. Give it something else.
5: Revenge can be replaced with something better.
6: EVs and Nature!

I would like to say right now if you don't know what I'm talking about when I say EVs, or why Natures are important, this team is useless and you have a LOT to read up on.

Thank you! I cloned & re-moved all PKMN's. Edited the entire post. Although I still can't provide EVs. Also, Sorry about the format, I rushed to make it B4 i fell asleep.
