Here's my most recent team if you want to rate it. I'm planning on making a new team due to this one being almost nothing but sweepers. lol

Hermes: Staraptor@ Choice Scarf
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk and Spd, 6HP
Aerial Ace
Brave Bird
Close Combat
U-Turn

Thor: Electivire@ Life Orb
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk and Spd, 6HP
Quick Attack
Ice Punch
Thunder Punch
Brick Break
(I know he needs EQ)

Nightmare: Rapidash @ Razor Fang
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk and Spd, 6HP
Hypnosis
Mega Horn
Poison Jab
Flare Blitz

Anubis: Lucario @ Black Belt
Modest
EVs: 252 Sp.At and Spd, 6HP
Aura Sphere
Metal Sound
Psychic
Dark Pulse

Feraligator @ Wave Incense
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk. and Sp.Df, 6 HP (presumedly, cuz it was traded to me)
Crunch
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Ice Punch

Torterra @ Leftovers
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk and Def, 6HP (again presumed EVs, cuz it was traded to me)
Seed Bomb
Protect
Earthquake
Stealth Rock

I want to keep Feraligator, Staraptor, and Electivire on my team, but I don't know who I want to replace the others with.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that I plan on breeding a new Feraligator and Torterra due to not knowing the actual EVs of these two pokes. If anyone has any suggestions for new team members I'm open to them and thank you in advance. smile

Hermes: Staraptor@ Choice Scarf
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk and Spd, 6HP
Aerial Ace
Brave Bird
Close Combat
U-Turn

Hmm... this Staraptor looks pretty good. I have no problems. Very much so looks like a Staraptor set I've created :p though I don't agree with Choice Scarf. Get Staraptor in a Jolly nature and give it Choice Band. U-Turn will due more damage, and you outspeed many starters. The only starter I can see you struggling with that can hurt you is Weavile.

Thor: Electivire@ Life Orb
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk and Spd, 6HP
Quick Attack
Ice Punch
Thunder Punch
Brick Break
(I know he needs EQ)

No. I am going to refuse this moveset. I've created a masterpiece out of Electivire. Try this set

Electivire@Expert Belt
Jolly - 252 Attack and Speed
Motor Drive

Thunderpunch
Ice Punch
Substitute
Meditate

Once Vire sucks in one electric move, he is pretty much faster than most of the Pokemon you see. You are faster than Gengar, Starmie, Azelf and possibly Weavile. This set works very well if you are provided the chance to use Meditate at least two times. Pokemon like Blissey will expect a Cross Chop from you so they will either Ice Beam you or switch out. They will probably switch out to something faster than you once they see one Meditate. Once you've done one, use Substitute and then sweep away if possible.

Nightmare: Rapidash @ Razor Fang
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk and Spd, 6HP
Hypnosis
Mega Horn
Poison Jab
Flare Blitz

I've never really used Rapidash so I will leave this set alone.

Anubis: Lucario @ Black Belt
Modest
EVs: 252 Sp.At and Spd, 6HP
Aura Sphere
Metal Sound
Psychic
Dark Pulse

Your Lucario looks pretty good, but I don't see how it is able to pull off Metal Sound. I would replace that for Dragon Pulse.


Feraligator @ Wave Incense
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk. and Sp.Df, 6 HP (presumedly, cuz it was traded to me)
Crunch
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Ice Punch

This set is good, but not so sure on the EV spread.

Torterra @ Leftovers
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk and Def, 6HP (again presumed EVs, cuz it was traded to me)
Seed Bomb
Protect
Earthquake
Stealth Rock

Never used a Torterra so I can't say anything about it.

Agreed. For Staraptor, a choice band would be a much better choice. Either that or Life Orb, but that's really dependant on how much your Staraptor loves to live on the edge. xp

I'd opt to remove Aerial Ace from Staraptor since it already has Brave Bird. Replace it with either Endeavor or Quick Attack. Trust me, using Endeavor to weaken opponent pokes for the rest of your team to finish works miracles in those situations where your opponent has a good wall in place that you need to get rid of in a hurry. Quick Attack is mainly for protection against Reversal/Flail users and to take down other weakened but faster foes. From a Base 120 ATK + STAB + CB/LO, Quick Attack does alot of damage to anything not Resistant/Immune to it.

I'll look over the rest of your team and give a few suggestions (if needed) on them later.
