Should I switch any of the Pokemon? Anything that should go into my party to replace something else? Anything I need to change?
 
I might do a more indepth analysis when I get the time, but a couple of things immediately jump out. First of which, why is your Gardevoir Adamant? That is basically the worst possible nature for it. Second, if you have Blissey on your team, it automatically becomes OU. You cannot use Blissey in any of the lower tiers.
 
*facepalm* I forgot Blissey was OU. And I don't know where I was going with Gardevoir, I was just planning to use Trick to force the opponent into a single move, then switch into something.

I don't normally use my Blissey unless I'm in a Double, Triple, or Launcher Battle. So I will admit, Blissey was a bad choice to bring on a team like this.
 
Oh gods...I forgot them. Sigh, I'll go look them up later. I don't mean that I forgot to add them. I mean I forgot what I had EVs in.

is this ... on-game? simulator? I mean, you're making references to a box, so I'd assume on-game? but, uh, hard to tell.

if not simulator, you'll probably want to specify either genes or actual stats, too. for speed, particularly. but the others, too.
