Improvements for my team?

Question

This is just a normal 6v6 team I recently made, and I need suggestions on how to make it better. It doesn't matter if you suggest for a whole pokemon to be replaced, because I mainly use this team on showdown, so its easy to change.
The first two are set up pokemon, the next three are sweepers and the last is a staller.
The team is OU, but there are some UU pokemon in there.

Smeargle@Sitrus berry
Own tempo
Jolly (+spe -sp.atk)
252spe/252hp/2def/2sp.def
- Spore (puts opponent to sleep to buy it a turn or two laying down traps)
- Sticky web (speed lowering trap, works well in making Garchomp go first)
- Stealth rock ('nother trap, just coz)
- Toxic spikes (same)
Smeargle will go out first, and try to bulk out the opponents attacks, to lay as many traps as possible. Also spore is useful for later. (As long as its not breaking the sleep clause)

Ninjask@Focus sash
Speed boost
Adamant (+atk -sp.atk)
252atk/252hp/2def/2sp.def
- Protect (so it has speed boosts to baton pass)
- Swords dance (so it has attack boosts to baton pass)
- Baton pass (to baton pass speed and attack boosts)
- X-scissor (in case of taunt)
The purpose of this pokemon is purely for baton passing to Garchomp. With its focus sash, it is guaranteed to do protect, swords dance, protect, baton pass without fainting. (Unless a foe uses a priority move, or a multi hitting move at the predicted right time)

Garchomp@Garchompite
Sand veil/Sand force
Adamant (+atk -sp.atk)
252atk/128hp/128spe
- Earthquake (Obvious)
- Swords dance (more attack in case ninjask fails)
- Dragon claw (STAB)
- Stone edge/something that coveres ice/fairy, can't find anything yet (coverage)
My main sweeper and favorite pokemon, Garchomp is what the two previous set ups have been leading up to.

Heatran@Air balloon
Flash fire
Modest (+sp.atk -atk)
252sp.atk/252hp/2def/2sp.def
- Magma storm (STAB, stopps opponent from switching out, additional damage each turn)
- Flash canon (STAB)
- Earth power (Coverage)
- Dark pulse (coverage, I should replace this one)
My back up sweeper, covers Garchomps weaknesses. Is awesome.

NO SPRITE

Aegislash@Weakness policy
Stance change
Adamant (+atk -sp.atk)
252atk/252hp/2def/2sp.def
- Sacred sword (powerful)
- I need a good physical ghost move here, at the moment its iron head
- Swords dance (fo' dat attack!)
- Kings shield (to get to shield forme)
My other sweeper, used to get past the opponents sweepers by bulking them out, then killing them.

Chansey@Eviolite
Natural Cure
Bold (+def -atk)
252def/252hp/4sp.atk
- Toxic (stalling move 1)
- Protect (stalling move 2)
- Soft boiled (to get back health)
- Flamethrower (to get the steel types that won't get poisoned)
My chief staller, eviolite Chancey can cripple anything.

Overall, I think my team works quite well together. But I need improvements to make it better. The main thing I want advice on, is, is two set up pokemon too many?

Thanks! :)

Toxic Spikes aren't really needed with Chansey.

Answer 1

First of all, it's a great team overall. You have many Pokémon that are great for competitive battling. But let me suggest some things you could do that would make it a little better.

Smeargle

The Smeargle looks great, or its moveset does, at least. There are a couple things you could improve upon, though. First, give Smeargle a Focus Sash instead of a Sitrus Berry, since even with defensive EVs, it's still vulnerable to many attacks. This will ensure that it can at least get one or two hazards up before fainting. And just so you know, EVs only have effect if they're in groups of four, so you might want to put 4 into Defense instead of 2 and 2.

Ninjask

I do like your Baton Passing Ninjask strategy, but let me give you a few pointers. I would give it Leftovers, and then have Substitute instead of Protect. This may be better for you since it can be used over and over again without having a chance of failing. Then if the sub survives because of attacks missing, switching out, etc it will be able to get one or two Swords Dances in. But again, this is just a suggestion, as that set would work just fine for you. (Sometimes your set is better because it guarantees a Swords Dance before having to pass.)

Garchomp

Garchomp looks great so far. If you do my suggested Ninjask set, you may want to get rid of those Speed EVs. And if you want Ice and Fairy coverage, get one with Iron Head.

Heatran

Great set! (lucky of you to get a legendary with a Modest nature) For your last move, maybe have Flamethrower, since you don't want your only Fire STAB to have 75 accuracy and 5 PP.

Aegislash

Your Aegislash is great. Just remember to solve that EV problem. For your physical Ghost move, do either Shadow Claw or Shadow Sneak. They're both physical, and if you get enough Swords Dances or your opponent has just a little HP left, Shadow Sneak can be great for priority sweeping or finishing things off.

Chansey

Instead of Protect, have Refresh/Heal Bell in case of Toxics/Will-O-Wisps/Synchronize. And instead of Flamethrower, you might want HP Ground, as it takes care of both Poisons and Steels that won't take the Toxic.

And no, two setup Pokémon is definitely not too many, seeing that you have a Physical sweeper, a Special sweeper, and physical and special tanks. This team looks pretty scary, honestly. :D

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Hey! Bug Catcher Burn here. This looks like a good team. There are a few things that can be fixed, however. Let's get right into into, then!

--

Smeargle

Primarily, I prefer to use Magic Coat over Toxic Spikes. This way you can troll other hazard setters and statusers. Also, make the Nature Timid so that Foul Plays will do less damage.

---

Ninjask

Use the Jolly Nature so that he will be more likely to outsource and get his Baton Passes off.

---

Garchomp

For the last slot, Iron Head is a Steel type move that Chomp learns. Steel is supereffective on Ice and Fairy. However, you really should not be staying in on either type, so Stone Edge is the generally better option.

---

Heatran

First off, only every 4 EVs adds a point to the stat. Chose either Defense or Special D. You could also put Speed. The first slot should be Lava Plume and the last, Earth Power.

---

Aegislash

Again, choose Defense or Special D. I reccommend not the one you chose for Heatran. The move you are looking for is Shadow Sneak.

---

Chansey

Replace Flamethrower for Aromatherapy and Softboiled for Wish. That way she can Team Cleric better.

---

There you go! Hope I helped!

Thanks, I'm gonna use both of your suggestions to improve my team.

And the heatran on my game isn't modest, that's just the one on showdown. I can't remember what the one on my game is.

I would up vote if I could, but I don't have enough points XD
