DPPt/HGSS Battle Tower Team

[Ziggoratt999]

I recently made my first Battle Tower Team, and I was hoping for some feedback. Suggestions would definitely be appreciated ^^;

TRICKSTER SWEEP

Lead: Dusknoir

Nature: Calm
Item: Choice Scarf

Moves:
Trick
Taunt
Grudge/Spite/Torment
Protect

EV's
HP: 100
Defense: 212
Special Defense: 196

Dusknoir's job is, probably, the most important of the pokemon in my team. Using Trick, he'll swap his Choice Scarf with the opponent, limiting them to only one move. Because the computer has several severe handicaps, including one that prevents it from switching out its pokemon unless a certain requirement has been met, it will keep this pokemon on the field. Now, once it's time for the computer to choose it's pokemon's only move, I have Dusknoir use Protect so I can see what kind of attack it is. If it's a damage-dealing attack, I'll use Grudge to wipe out its PP. If it's a stat-boosting attack, or something along those lines, I'll use Taunt to ban them from using said attack. Either way, they'll be reduced to using Struggle every turn. Which is when my Sweepers come in.

An alternative method to this would be sending my sweeper in while they're stuck using a stat-boosting move, using the time to boost my sweeper's own stats before he wipes them out.

Sweeper 1: Garchomp

Nature: Adamant/Jolly/Hardy
Item: Life Orb

Moves:
Swords Dance
Substitute
Dragon Claw/Outrage
Earthquake/Flamethrower/Outrage

Garchomp, my first sweeper, is just that: A sweeper. His first move out will be Substitute, followed by a few Swords Dances. Then he just does what sweepers do best ^_^


EV's
HP: 100
Attack: 252
Defense: 72
Special Defense: 84

Sweeper 2: Aggron

Item: Expert Belt
Nature: Adamant/Brave

Moves:
Superpower
Substitute
Ice Punch
Earthquake

EV's
HP: 100
Attack: 252
Defense: 60
Special Defense: 96

I designed this Aggron to have as wide a range of Super-Effective moves as possible. This, coupled with the Expert Belt, makes it quite an effective sweeper in my opinion.


Personally, I think that this team is fairly decent. However, as this is my very first Battle Tower Team (and, to an extension, my first strategic team in general..), I probably won't see some of the holes in it as well as anyone else might. So, please, leave comments and suggestions. I'd love to hear them ^_^

You'll probably want lots of speed EVs on that Garchomp, when you get up higher there'll be plenty of pokemon with ice attacks that will outspeed you if you aren't fast enough. Also, I personally don't think Aggron is very good in the battle tower-first of all, he's slow, so the opponent can get a hit in, and many things hit him for super effective damage so he will be KOed often. I would suggest a faster sweeper such as infernape. Infernape can learn swords dance and I think nasty plot to set up, and he can also learn a decent variety of moves such as flamethrower, close combat, grass knot, and, if you have access to platinum move tutors, thunderpunch.
