So, tell me what you think.

Hmm...I dunno about the rating, but I can tell you my opinion.

Dark types would essentially kill off half your team. Especially if they had sucker punch. Togekiss is seen everywhere because of its flinching prowess, and the same goes for starmie because of it's super speed. Also, you have leftovers on three of your pokemon. You should probably get a focus sash or something on at least one of them.

That spread doesn't maximize Claydol's defensiveness. You should invest in having 252 HP. In a standard game your up against a Swampert. Using your EV spread Surf is going to be 2HKO no matter what (50.6% - 59.8%). If you change it to 252 HP your going to be taking about 4% less damage from Surf (46.9% - 56.2%). 252 HP and whatever else you want to do with your spread.

The Togekiss looks fine other than I find the bulkier sets work best with berries.
Starmie I would personally Life Orb or Choice Specs it.
No comment on Bronzong, Politoed or Espeon since they just seem like they do a poor job at what they're suppose to do.

I would recommend getting a psychic/fighting type to avoid being walled by Blissey and or any dark types.

Zong, Toed, and Espeon are fine. Starmie is fine the way it is. Claydol will prolly change. Kiss is good with salac cuz I can heal with roost.

OMG.... I don't understand any of this..... I just like Pokémon games

I've made edits to my team. They will be up soon.
