My current team? I think I go with my 'primary' team instead;

Sigma/Venusaur (M)
Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain, Frenzy Plant, Solarbeam
(my go-to-guy)

Alph/Butterfree (M)
Sleep Powder, Bug Buzz, Psybeam, Dream Eater
(that sleep powder rarely misses...)

Nova/Raichu (F)
Thunderbolt, Quick attack, Mega Kick, Mega Punch (may be subject to change)
(A very fast hitter)

Raven/Staraptor (F)
Aerial ace, Fly, Brave Bird, Roost
(My physical power-house; currently holds my group's record for highest attack)

CINDER/Blaziken (M)
Sky uppercut, Sunny day, Flamethrower, Blast burn
(I still don't know why I had his name in caps...)

Pheobe/Feraligatr (F)
Dragon claw, Focus punch, Aqua tail, Swords dance
(Just as dangerous as Raven, but more durable)

FUN FACTS:
*All of this team, minus Pheobe, was acquired near the start of a game. Pheobe was bred.
*Sigma, Nova and Alph were the only Pokemon I used in combat throughout Leaf Green, as well as the first to reach lvl 100

Your team makes me a little bit sad. Good thing it doesn't sound like it's a competitive team.

Here's an oldish one of mine:

<spoiler=Long Post is long>
Team at a glance:



Name: "Pinksir" Pinsir (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 26 HP, 232 Atk, 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant (+ Atk, - Sp. Atk)
- X-Scissor
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Quick Attack

Pinksir is used on this team as an anti-lead. He actually functions quite well as one, taking out most of the top leads in OU, only having real difficulty with Swampert. Pinksir is also useful if he makes it past round 1, having a priority attack and overall a pretty good type coverage, he can help out in the mid-late game. X-Scissor is the primary attack, with Earthquake and Rock Slide there if it is resisted. I chose Rock Slide over Stone Edge, as the number of extra KOs was not worth the accuracy loss.

Pinksir vs. top OU leads:

- X-Scissor no matter what. Quick Attack if there is a Focus
Sash
- Earthquake no matter what. Quick Attack after if it is still alive
- X-Scissor until dead. Swampert will win if it doesn't set up Stealth
Rocks, but will lose if it does
- Earthquake until dead
- Rock Slide no matter what. Quick Attack if it is still alive
- I'll usually switch to Claydol to take the Fake Out. If I don't, it is an
Earthquake + Quick Attack for the kill
- I'll eat the Sleep Powder. If it hits, I'll switch to Salamence, if it
misses, X-Scissor will take it down to 1 HP. Quick Attack will take it
out from there
- Earthquake until dead
- X-Scissor until dead
- I'll switch to Salamence or Gengar


Claydol (N/A) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP, 114 Atk, 144 Def
Nature: Impish (+ Def, - Sp. Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Explosion

Claydol functions as my second lead. His main role is to set up Stealth Rocks. If Pinksir allowed the other lead to set up Stealth Rocks, Claydol can come in and spin them away. Earthquake will be its main STAB attack, while Explosion can make a nice dent in whatever is explodes on. Claydol is sometimes a surprise, as a Special variant is more common.


Salamence (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 16 Atk, 240 Sp. Atk 252 Spe
Nature: Naive (+ Speed, - Sp. Def)
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
- Outrage


Salamence is now a mixed attacker. It is now able to break down walls of both the physical and special variety. Draco Meteor and Fire Blast are here for physical walls, while Earthquake and Outrage are available against special walls.


Gengar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spe
Nature: Modest (+ Sp. Atk, - Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power Ice

Gengar is the Revenge Killer of this team. The Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed almost everything, and the moves given allow for at least neutral damage to most opponents. Shadow Ball is the primary STAB move. Thunderbolt is mostly for Gyarados and Skarmory. Focus Blast hits normal and dark types hard and HP Ice is used for pesky Dragons. I have also considered using Explosion or Trick on Gengar to deal with Blissey, but have yet to actually find the need. Explosion would replace either Focus Blast or HP Ice.


Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 HP, 40 Def, 216 Spe
Nature: Impish (+ Def, - Sp. Atk)
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Knock Off
- Stone Edge

Gliscor works well as a Wall on this team. He does his job by keeping Lucario in check almost all of the time. He is able to switch in to Lucario and OHKO it with Earthquake. It can then Roost off any damage. Knock off is to help deal with other Walls, as well as deal with Choice item Pokemon like a CB Tyranitar. Stone Edge gives additional coverage especially against Flying types that completely avoid Earthquake.


Empoleon (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 12 HP, 12 Def, 252 Sp. Atk, 232 Spe
Nature: Modest (+ Sp. Atk, - Atk)
- Substitute
- Agility
- Surf
- Ice Beam

The idea behind this set is to come in on one of Empoleon's resistances, use Substitute, then use Agility. I'll then substitute down to under 25% health, in order to activate the Petaya Berry. After it is activated, I go for a sweep with Surf and Ice Beam. Surf hits almost everything hard, and what it fails to take out, Ice Beam usually can. I am debating whether or not to switch Ice Beam to Grass Knot, as currently Vaporeon more or less ends the sweep.


Team at a glance again:


Red text is what I changed from what I had originally.
Well, Vaporeon is still very light, no? Meaning much less damage than most Grass Knot worthy opponents.

Anyway, at present, my non-competitive team in SS, since my competitive is always changing:

Dewgong
Meganium
Ninetales
Skarmory
Raikou
Furret (HM Slave!)

Sazandora
Enbuoh
Zekrom
Landlos
Kyurem
Virizion

That's my current 6 that I have at the moment, although I almost have all of the available B/W Pokemon so that is liable to switch at any time.
