First team from a complete newbie

[DaedeM]

Hi, I've started battling on Showdown, and I've been trying to find a team that I like. I have no idea what I'm doing but I have this team so far. I need some criticism on what's good and bad about it.

Gengar @ Gengarite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Sludge Bomb
- Focus Blast
- Dazzling Gleam
- Shadow Ball

Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Analytic
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Recover
- Rapid Spin
- Scald
- Thunderbolt

Sylveon @ Leftovers
Ability: Cute Charm
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Atk / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Baton Pass
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Wish

Conkeldurr @ Life Orb
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Earthquake
- Poison Jab

Shuckle @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Toxic
- Sticky Web
- Earthquake
- Rest

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled
- Thunder Wave
- Aromatherapy

It has won me a few games, primarily off the back of Sylveon Calm Mind sweeping or stalling with Blissey.

Thanks for any criticism!

Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it. The standard description length required is three to four lines, if you need more insight look on the detail part, check out the RMT Archive.

Feel free to repost when a thread that follows this rule
