Ive just really wanted to build a team for so long, it's just really troublesome to breed for perfect IV's and EV training and finding the perfect nature and abilities and egg moves and it's all just really complicated and boring lol so what I'm gonna do is just catch a bunch of friends safari pokes so they'll have at least 2 perfect ivs. Natures and abilities won't matter to me for now, it's just too much hard work. Ain't nobody got time for that! So I just need an opinion from you guys about my team!
Here's the 6 pokes I want on my team: Blastoise Alakazam Braviary Luxray Smeargle Arcanine
Smeargle is for setting up hazards like Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, and Spore! Arcanine and Luxio will be my speed demons and main attackers, Arcanine for burning and Luxray for paralyzing those fools. Braviary is for warding off those pesty Fighting types. Alakazam will be my special attacker, him and Blastoise will both hold the mega stones. And Blastoise will be my final line of defense, his Defense and Special defense are INSANE.
Thoughts!? Let me know!

Make sure that you put Rapid Spin on Blastoise to get rid of those hazards. Also, make SURE a nature doesn't hinder something you don't want- You don't want a nature that inhibits your Sp. Atk on Alakazam, for example. Also, I'd make sure to put Flash Cannon on Blastoise too to get rid of those pesky fairies. Also, you have a bit of a weakness to electric types, keep that in mind.

You make a lot of good points. And yeah I was planning on putting Rapid Spin on Blastoise. I really want it to have Rain Dish and give Luxray the move Rain Dance so Blastoise will gradually gain HP in the rain. And Alakazam would have Trick Room to help my Blastoise out, since he's going to be a tad slow. Basically, everything revolves around Blastoise and I want him to be that star haha thanks for the tips!

One thing I see worth mentioning, as far as your team selection goes, is Luxray isn't really that fast. It only has 70 base Speed. Electivire might be a better solution if you're looking for a mixed attacker. Zebstrika if you want to sacrifice a lot for Speed.

I know Luxray is not all that great, but he's one of my favorites haha that's the main reason I have him on there :P can't betray my bro! His Attack is pretty insane though, at a whopping 120. If I can't have his speed, his attack will make up nicely for it, don't you think? I dunno that's why I need help haha

I dunno that's why I need help haha Electivire's Attack is at 123. ^-^ But I can definitely understand not betraying a bro! That's why I use Flygon and not Garchomp. :3

If I can't have his speed, his attack will make up nicely for it, don't you think? I dunno that's why I need help haha Luxray's Attack definitely does not make up for its speed because its not too durable either. There are different things that you could try to improve the speed though. A Choice Scarf would probably be the most reliable option, but it locks you into one move. Tailwind could be used by Braviary, but in single battles, that probably wouldn't last long enough to be that helpful. You could also attempt to use Trick Room as you've already mentioned, but Alakazam wouldn't like that very much. Baton Passing some speed with Smeargle would be fun if you could get it to work, but it would probably be too hard to setup to be practical. If you want to consider Baton Passing speed (and Attack), Ninjask can be worth considering, but it really hates Stealth Rocks. Finding ways to be successful while using your favorites definitely makes battling more fun!

Sticky Web could potentially be helpful too, but I'm not sure if it would be enough. Also, Scolipede appears to have Speed Boost as its hidden ability now, so it may be able to function like a Ninjask.
