Constructive criticism only!!

OK it's me,(with my new nickname) Sebass, and I could use some insight towards a good team for competitive battling. I have what I think is good as far as a balanced team, I mainly need help with movesets. However, if you think that switching out some Pokemon Would be necessary fell free to suggest as such.

I know that some are low level but I am training them.

Just pointing something out, Giratina can't learn Roar of Time or have the ability Marvel Scale.

Therefore, using some logic, that Pokémon is hacked. Just thought you should know that.

Yeah I did know it was hacked. The help i needed was more focused on the other five. I mean I can change the moveset if you think it would help.

First off, you have two half-fighting types and two half-steel. I don't reccommend that.

Also, it's not a good Idea for Torterra to know so many grass-type moves. Here's a move set for it-

-Wood Hammer/ Leaf Storm
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Iron Tail/ Giga Impact

Its attack stat is higher than its Spec. Attack, so I'm basing it off of that.

-Woodhammer/ Leaf storm- STAB
-Earthquake- STAB and covers Fire-type weaknesses
-Crunch- ???
-Iron Tail/ Giga Impact- ???

Same thing with Empoleon, but kill the HMs except Surf. HMs don't work well in Competitive battling. A moveset for Empoleon:

-Surf
-Earthquake/ Giga Impact
-Drill Peck
-Ice Beam

Surf: STAB and powerful
Earthquake: ?? Powerful
Drill Peck: Covers Grass type weakness
Ice Beam: Also covers grass type weakness

I could keep going, but here's the thing. It's not good to have more then two of the same-type moves on one pokemon. Actually, it isn't really favorable if you have more then one.

Waterfall, Steel Wing and Swords Dance are also usable options, as is any Hidden Power of a good type too.

Just throwing that one in.
