some moves are gone because sine they are in the battle box, i don't have a good memory of them unless i am actually playing right this second.

*Resist urge to go on a competitive playing rant* Well the team is well rounded, but maybe if you taught them some better moves to take advantage of their stats?

yea, taking advantage of their natures helps,

i actually want to go into competitive playing so i don;t mind XD

yeah i would agree.

Then in that case definitely take a look at their natures! For every Pokemon there's a few natures that can bring out their full potential imo. And if you really want to get competitive (even if it's just to a degree) I suggest learning about IVs, and EVs cause every stat point can make a difference when battling. And finally the final vital ingredient to training up Pokemon is their movesets, I suggest going into battles with rounded movesets rather than sets with two types of the same move like your Tornadus having Air Slash and Air Cutter since it's a waste of a moveslot and you can probably teach it something better. :)

also think of priority moves to use like Fake-out and U-turn, they really help

If you wanna try inter tournaments, you have to get into the 100% of competitive training. EVs, IVs, natures, moves, items, and even Pokemon choices have to be made. For example, Victreebel/Scolipede aren't considered quite powerful in competitive.

The best way to learn is to try an online battle simulator, build a team there, and test it. As soon as you find out the perfect match, it's a bit of race to breed it the way you want, but it really makes a difference for an international championship.
