A majority of the points you made are pretty much invalid but whatever.

In explaining your team and sets, don't state the effects of each move. Every Pokemon player knows what they do. Rather, you need to make mention of what each move in your set hits or what utility is has if said utility isn't obvious. EV your Pokemon in the stats you need eg. Azumarill needs max attack alongside with enough speed to outrun base 65-85 uninvested mons and put the rest in HP for bulk.

I recommend reading these articles for learning the basics of teambuilding

Looking at your team, I'd bet my money that you pushed this into Team Magma's Synergy Calculator. Seeing as your playstyle is balanced, here's a disclaimer - You can't possibly be prepared for everything AND this calculator is useful but proves redundant if you forget to take the defensive stats of each Pokemon into account.

I'm not saying scrap the team though. It can work but you have to make a few changes. Firstly, we need to know what metagame you plan to use this team in. Is this for VGC 16, Battle Spot Doubles, Battle Spot Singles or Smogon (OU, UU, NU, RU, PU)?
Hi, thanks for the advice, this team is meant for Battle Spot Singles.
Also, your right on the money with the fact I used the calculator (see what i did there, haha...)
Finally, what changes do you suggest. As I said, i'm extremely new to competitive team building, and hope to get much better.

Thanks in advance!
