Answer 1

I'll start off by eliminating a few Pokémon. Gengar usually outclasses Gardevoir in every way. Gengar can also switch into the evercommon normal and ground moves. Lucario is a weaker, but a faster Gallade. Lucario also has access to Extreme Speed and Me First, although Me First might be a bit risky, especially when Pokémon like Infernape use Flamethrower on it. Now, for your spiker. Uxie and Forretress will force many switches so it might be good to pair them up with Stealth Rock + Toxic Spikes. However, Bronzong might be your only 'special wall' so I definitely recommend him having Stealth Rock over Trick Room.

Here's a team that I recommend:

1. Gengar.

2. Garchomp.

3. Forretress

4. Gyarados

5. Lucario

6. Bronzong

• Gengar is a good lead, especially since he is fast enough to put most leads to sleep as well as hurting them. You can replace Thunderbolt for Energy Ball to hit Swampert leads, but Thunderbolt might be better.

• Garchomp is considered an Uber in some Pokémon Forums, which must mean that it is good. Its a good thing that most people aren't aware of his power though, since he truly is a monster when used correctly.

• Forretress is the best Toxic Spiker in the game, and it also has higher HP and defense that Uxie, so its better.

• Gyarados can help you sweep better if it has Taunt. However, you don't have to give it Taunt since he can hit bulky grassers like Tangrowth with Ice Fang. Its ability and typing will help out its teammates.

• Lucario can wreak havoc when the timing is correct. I have a similar Lucario, and once it pulls out a Swords Dance, it sweeps entire teams with Extreme Speed. Consider ES over Me First.

• Bronzong is your only special wall, so it should be a must. But due to the fact that your team would be hindered by a Trick Room, give it Stealth Rock instead.

Good luck building a team.
