Well, from such limited information it is essentially impossible to rate your team. It is recommended that you list all of your Pokemon in the format shown in this thread. That will make it much easier to get an overview of your team and gauge it's effectiveness. It'd also be nice to know what exactly your goal is for the team, and what tier bracket you're aiming for.

Hm...I figured that...I'll fix it

One quick comment: I tried using an Absol once, I found this as a great set: Swords Dance, Night Slash, Stone Edge and Psycho cut.

I think you may have a been of a weakness in your team with the inclusion of Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem, however, everything looks magnificent overall!

How successful are you usually with this team?

How might that be?

I haven't lost a battle yet! ( although that may not be just because of my team...)

For a team with legendary pokemon it's great, but I would try to learn how to not rely on legendary pokemon too much.

Don't worry, I don't.

I always try to use as least legends as possible; have you gotten the event Reshiram?

 

[Pokemon]

have you gotten the event Reshiram?

Yes.

How might that be?

Anyway, if I were you, I'd replace Imprison with maybe Ice Beam or Substitute, for Attacking or maybe lowering your HP for Endeavor. When you get the chance, you should replace Slash with Bolt Strike or Thunder, for extra power.

If you plan to use these guys in game then I think that the legendary dragons are banned from the Global Link thingamajig. If you're using Pokemon Online or battling with friends then its fine ^_^

Why did you call your Emboar a "special sweeper"? It only has one special move.. By the way, I'd give him Earthquake and Brick Break over two of the fire moves, take your pick. Probably scrap Take Down, too. It's just not a great move.

And of course, find alternatives to the legends. If you want similar power and moveset variability, go for Garchomp and Lucario respectively. Using a Lucario also counters your major vulnerability to dragon-type moves. You could also spring for Aggron for that role, preferably a Rock Head+Head Smash set. Alternatively, you could use Dragonite, Tyranitar, Metagross, or Salamence. Pseudo-legendaries are thought to be overrated, but they're not. If you use them correctly, they're incredible. Alakazam and Gengar are great choices, too. And I'd use Gyarados over Mantine, if I were you.

Forgive my rudeness... but ew.

Now if you used this team in-game or battle with your friends it is fine, but if you intend to battle online; then this team will simply not work well.

Your inclusion of Reshiram and Zekrom mean that this team belongs in the Uber Tier... And for the Uber standards... This is an awful team (sorry, trying not to be too mean... just making a point). Now another thing you need to clean up are your movesets. Why in Hell does anyone need 3 fire type attacks on one pokemon (Emboar) with the 4th move being normal. get 4 different types of attacks so you can get better coverage against other pokemon. Finally find out what pokemon natures, EV's, and IV's are. Use this site to learn everything you need to know about competitive battling and good luck.
