I'm not TOO new to this, but I do need some practice and feedback. I've already talked to some people, but I still want to see what the Smash community has to say. Thanks ahead of time!

Gallade @ Life Orb/Salac Berry (if I can get one)
Trait: Steadfast, Nature: Adamant
Swords Dance
Psycho Cut
Close Combat/Brick Break
Night Slash
(I kinda want to throw Hypnosis in there, but I don't know what to replace).

Torterra @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow, Nature: Relaxed
Stealth Rock
Wood Hammer/Stone Edge
Earthquake
Leech Seed

Gardevoir @ Leftovers
Trait: Trace, Nature: Calm
Psychic
Thunderbolt
Hypnosis
Calm Mind
(Gave Gengar the boot, I like Gardy better. Making it a CM tank-ish poke)

Drapion @ Scope Lens
Trait: Sniper, Nature: Adamant
Night Slash
Cross Poison
Earthquake
Roar/Whirlwind
(Traded Ice Fang for Roar/Whirlwind... I'll just phaze anything that resists all three of those attacks)

Lucario @ Wise Glasses
Trait: Inner Focus, Nature: Modest/Timid
Aura Sphere
Shadow Ball
Calm Mind/Agility
Psychic/Dragon Pulse/[filler]

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure, Nature: Relaxed/Impish/Careful/Sassy
Shadow Punch/Fire Punch
Ice Punch
Thunderpunch
Pain Split

I left out the EVs for everything cuz I'm making this team INGAME, so I'm probably gonna have to figure out what the IVs are to know how much speed, hp, etc to put into everything. That also means Hidden Power is NOT an option.

Edit: Changed the team up again

 

[bladeofapollo]

I made a few changes... maybe you'll respond now.

I would have rated this if I'd have seen it. sorry T.T

Gallade @ Life Orb (I'm actually not sure for an item, this is open for suggestions)It's good.

I'm sorry, I don't know Torterra ^^'

Gengar @ Focus Sash/Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate, Nature: Hasty
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Hypnosis
Ice Punch
(Ice Punch is kinda there to deal w/ Garchomps. Even w/o ATK EV's, it'll still take out half of his life.)Make it your lead, IMO, with the Choice Scarf

Drapion @ Scope Lens Choice Band

Night Slash
Cross Poison
Earthquake
Ice Fang

Note about items:
Pick Life Orb for Power
Pick Wise Glasses for Less Power, but you don't lose HP when you attack
Pick Focus Sash if you want to guarantee at least 1 Calm Mind
Pick Leftovers if you didn't like the previous choices.

Overall good team, you just had a tough time deciding in some areas, it seemed like.

 

[titus]

hmm,

gallade is fine

torterra i dont really know how much good leech seed will do

gengar icepunch for garchomp, i dont really like the idea of this especially if its not OHKO switch it for sludgebomb and give it CS

drapion is fine with CB

lucario is going to have to be removed imo it doesnt do much good for anything. this is good though bcuz maybe you can get something that learns ib

dusknoir is fine with fire punch over shadowpunch

-Teach Will-o-wisp instead of Shadow Punch to Dusknoir.
-I agree with Titus about Gengar, give it Sludge Bomb instead of Ice Punch, it gets STAB.
-I used Torterra with Leech Seed in BT and helped me a lot. Also try Brave for nature, and perhaps Curse.
-Gallade is fine.
-Drapion is pretty good.
-I like Modest Lucario :D

 

[bladeofapollo]

Thanks for the hints guys, this is the kinda help I wanted.

I'm probably gonna take Ice Punch off of Gengar now since I have Dusknoir to take care of Garchomps now. I might take your advise and put on Sludge Bomb.. maybe Destinty Bond though, cuz that thing is like paper.

For Dusknoir, I kinda have to decide whether I want Will-o-Wisp for physical sweepers or Fire Punch for Magnezone. I'm kinda leaning towards Will-o-Wisp though, cuz I won't have much trouble w/ Magnezone.

Let me give a quick explanation on the Drapion set. I was talking to my friend leafgreen a while ago and he gave me the idea of a fun moveset for Drapion. Cross Poison/Night Slash + Scope Lens = 50% crit rate, which makes Sniper activate a lot. Therefore, I will have a STAB'd, critical hit move w/ an increased base power (and it cuts through stat up'd defenses due to crit, so it's kind of an anti-tank). So that's pretty much the idea... figured I'd explain it real quick.
