Earthquake

Stone Edge

Pursuit

Crunch

For the last slot, I am unsure of Milotic or Cresselia.

Milotic, Calm, Leftovers (212 HP / 168 SpDef / 130 SpAtk) IVs: 27, 22, 12, 21, 25, 8

Ice Beam

Surf

Hypnosis

Recover

or

Cresselia, Calm, Leftovers, (252 SpDef / 204 Hp / 52 SpAtk)

Moonlight

Ice Beam

Thunderwave

Grass Knot

Please rate my team out of 10 and tell me which pokemon is better for the last slot.

Update:

I know that the first Gengar might seem out of place in a Sandstorm team, and I thus have another one:

Gengar, Timid, Expert Belt (252 SpAtk / 252 Speed / 6 HP) IVs: 8, 14, 3, 26, 29, 31

Energy Ball

Shadow Ball

Thunderbolt

Focus Blast

Update 2:

The primary purpose Cresselia is supposed to serve is to counter Fighting and Dragon types and I realised how useless it would be against fighting type pokemon like Machamp (Guts) without psychic. As such my new Cresselia will be:

Cresselia, Calm, Leftovers (252 Def, 204 HP, 52 Spdef)

Moonlight

Psychic

Thunderwave

Ice Beam

Please note that I listed the EVs for the previous Cresselia wrongly.

    Gengar needs you to work on your EVs a little, since you have 756 total, while you can only have 510 without hacking. The moveset itself is fine though, good choices.

    Skarmory looks good, the IVs could be better, but I guess you got bored of breeding. I usually go for 3 flawless IVs. I would suggest investing a few more EVs in attack over HP. If you stop at 228 EVs in HP, with your IV, then you will have a stat of 320, which allows for maximum leftover recovery, and gives you another 24 EVs to put into Attack. The extra attack gives you a 93% chance of OHKOing standard Heracross, and a 98.4 chance of OHKOing standard Breloom. Without the extra attack these odds are much lower.

    Garchomp has good nature and EVs, however pokemon such as skarmory and weezing can give this set huge problems. Just make sure you have an effective way to counter them, since your team seems very physical attack based.

    Hippowdon looks good, but I think you make have too many similar pokemon, since the variety in moveset between Garchomp, Hippowdon and Tyranitar isn't very large. Personally I'd choose Tyranitar and Garchomp, since they work well together, and you have skarmory as a solid physical defense as it is.

    Tyranitar is good, but again the IVs could be a little higher. Perhaps you'd benefit from a fighting move on him more than Earthquake, such as brick break, since this would cover more pokemon nicely enough.

    I would suggest milotic would serve your team better for the following reasons. Milotic has access to Water and Ice moves combined. The water will help with fire and ground types, who will cause tyranitar and skarmory problems. And the Ice attacks will help cover Ground and dragon pokemon, such as garchomp, hippowdon, claydol, etc. Who could potentially harm this team (especially claydol, who could take down gengar as well with psychic, and wouldn't be affected by counter).

    I will suggest another pokemon, since I said I wouldn't have Hippowdon. I would suggest a pokemon who can attack from both the physical, and special ends of the spectrum. Practically built for this team is Mixape, with a few alterings.

    Infernape@Life Orb / Salac Berry

    Naive 232 Spe/186 Sp.A/94 Atk

    Close Combat

    Fire Blast

    Stone Edge

    Grass Knot

    He can counter Skarmory/Blissey perfectly, helps by adding a fighting attack, so you can keep tyranitar as is. And grass knot will help with swampert who could wall every pokemon on the team quite effectively, since only counter/explosion would deal real damage to him.

    All in all the team seems solid enough. Perhaps a Rapid spinner might help, as your gengar strategy will be demolished with stealth rock in play. I would rate it 9/10. Much better than most of the other ones I've seen on Yahoo Answers.

    If you want to battle me sometime, then send me a message over here, I'll give your pokemon a practise.
