you need EVs and Natures

Answer 1

This looks really good for a Trick Room team, it's just that it is really the only non-full out attack strategy, so there might be some problems if Trick Room happens to fail on both Musharna and Slowbro. You might want some backup for this.

I'm happy to see that your Natures and EVs are in the right places. That is usually my biggest complaint with other teams I've rated. One thing that you might want to consider giving your Trick Roomers Lum Berries (it's good to see high defensive stats, but falling asleep can be a huge problem). If Trick Room fails on either Musharna or Slowbro, then practically your entire strategy is toast. You may also consider giving Slowbro Oblivious to prevent it from being taunted (Regenerator is a pretty good choice for Trick Roomers too, though, for re-use). I'd also suggest Slowking over Slowbro for better defenses, and less-rounded stats. You also might want some sort of Fast Sweeper just in case your Trick Rooming happens to fail. May I suggest Floatzel or Staraptor? You also might want to add a few stat-boosting moves to to make at least something stand out from raw attack on your team.

Other than what I've listed above, you have a pretty awesome team. In fact, I'd say it is one of the best I've rated so far. You seem to emphasize EVs and Natures a lot better than others I've seen before.

As a side note (and sorry if you consider this advertising), I have a Triples Trick Room team that I've been trying to get rated. I was wondering if I could get a fellow Trick Roomer's opinion on it:

Thanks for the advice. After I posted this I thought about my Oblivious Slowking and thought that not having to worry about Taunt was great. I was thinking about either adding another trick roomer, or getting a sweeper if all else fails.
