Answer 1

Ok, this is a nice, well rounded team at the moment. The one thing it is missing though, is a garchomp counter. 'Chomp is so common in competitive battling that you need to be prepared to counter it. My team is very similar to this, only I have a 'chomp counter.

My two favourite counters are Hippowdon and Gliscor. They both have the same generally concept - one can also Baton Pass Swords dances (Gliscor) but the other has a good recovery Move (hippowdon). For this team, I'd chose Gliscor with this set:

Gliscor @ Leftovers

Nature: Jolly

Ability: Sand Veil

-Swords Dance

-Baton Pass

-Earthquake

-Ice fang

Earthquake is a good STAB move and Ice fang is so it can counter garchomp. Because Gliscor can take quite a hit, he can easily get in a swords dance - and then he can pass it to infernape. This means you can replace swords dance on Infernape - and give him Hidden Power Ice.

Last pokemon, should be Garchomp! Yes, most good teams have a chomp! I'd go for the standard set of:

Garchomp @ Leftovers/Life Orb

Nature: Jolly/Adamant

Ability: Sand Veil

Substitute

Earthquake

Fire fang

Dragon claw
