Is this a team for Single battles or Double battles? Btw, glad to see you getting into the ORAS competitive meta

Venoshock seems like an odd choice seeing that you only have a 30% chance of poison
RE: RATE MY TEAM - Marcusube - May 20, 2015
To kick it off, you have 3 common weaknesses to Psychic, 2 common weaknesses to Fighting and unchecked weaknesses to Rock, Ghost and Dragon.
Firstly, since you want to run a fast sweeping Venusaur under the sun, it would make more sense to give the Mega Stone slot to Sableye or Gengar.
To address the weaknesses, I suggest dropping Blaziken and Dragonair. Blaziken isn't legal in Singles and Dragonair won't last very long with moves like Draco Meteor and Outrage being extremely common in both Singles and Doubles. You can switch them out for Raichu and Scrafty. Both function almost the same as they do in both Singles and Doubles.
These are the changes I would make to the move sets you have.
It is impossible to make a team that functions in both formats while maintaining the same movesets and team gimmick. Not everything that works in Singles works in Doubles so you have to make up your mind.
