Rate my ORAS/XY Team

Question

Hey! My team is a little weird, but it’s mainly a Singles or Triples battle team. Tell me some of your ideas please.

Electrode (Mild)
252 Spd, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 HP
Ability: Static
Item: Focus Sash or Eject Button
Moves:
- Protect
- Toxic
- Magnet Rise
- Electro Ball

(Not the best setup, but if you enjoy stalling with Protect and Toxic it works. I also anticipate ground-type moves which might catch some Pokemon off guard when I use Magnet Rise.)

Jolteon (Timid)
252 Spd, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 HP
Ability: Volt Absorb
Item: Zap Plate
Moves:
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power (Ice)
- Shadow Ball

Haxorus (Adamant)
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 Def (Thinking about switching the Speed and Defense around)
Ability: Rivalry (This Haxorus is a male)
Item: Draco Plate
Moves:
- Outrage
- Dragon Claw
- Poison Jab
- Brick Break

Thundurus - Therian Form (Timid)
252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
Abiltiy: Volt Absorb
Item: Magnet
Moves:
- Sludge Wave
- Thunder
- Focus Blast
- Flash Cannon

Scizor (Adamant)
252 Atk, 252 Def, 4 HP
Ability: Technician
Item: Scizorite
Moves:
- Bullet Punch
- Iron Defense
- X-Scissor
- Roost

Ditto (Timid)
252 HP, 252 Spd, 4 Sp. Def (To outspeed and transform into party member during Triples or survive and still transform into them)
Ability: Limber (For transforming into own party)
Ability: Imposter (For being an imposter...)
Item: Rocky Helmet

(As said before, I tend to use Ditto during close games to transform into an opponent’s Pokemon or turn into Mega Scizor.)

Thanks for reading! Tell me what you think!

Why is Electrode Mild when Timid is so much better?

We give very different advice for singles and triples. (more specifically, we rate singles teams and completely ignore triples teams) If you want advice for both, then post two copies of this question, one for singles and one for triples.

Answer 1

I actually really like your team(apart from the fact that you don't have your starter), but there are a few things I would change:

On Haxorus, replace Brick Break with Earthquake. Brick Break has less power than Earthquake and they both beat the Steel types you are ineffective against. Also, I suggest you keep the the EVs just like they are Here is a suggested moveset:

Haxorus @ Draco Plate
Nature: Adamant.
Ability: Rivalry
Moves:
Outrage(High STAB)
Dragon Claw(Lower STAB and no recoil)
Poision Jab(Coverage against Fairy)
Earthquake(Supereffective against the Steel type you will need to beat).

Next, I would almost completely change Electrode's moveset. There are a lot of things you could change to being out his full potential. Here's what you should do:

Electrode @ Eject Button(Because defences aren't that great)
Nature: Mild
Ability: Static
Moves:
Thunderbolt(Great STAB)
Protect
Electro Ball(Because your speed is high)
Explosion(In case you're about to die)

The rest of your team seems perfectly fine to me.
Hope I helped :)

Why is this even downvoted??

I’m normally very stingy with my downvotes because I hate losing points. Yet every time I see this it makes me cringe so hard I’ve decided it’s downvote worthy.

But why is it downvote worthy?

I explained it on your wall.
