Hmm... Let me see..

Ninjask.

- I very much prefer lefties on this thing. It means it has life after doing 4 subs, and isn't prone to quick attack, or anything of that sort.
- Why max out speed? It's the fastest in the game AND it has speed boost. The only thing you'd be worried about is someone who has used dragondance or something, but I don't see Ninjask beating a Salamence. If you're going to give your ninjask max speed, I'd go for aerial ace, as the only good thing about max speed is that you can OHKO other ninjasks.

I'd got either

Ninjask@Leftovers
Jolly: Speed boost
252 atk, 252 speed
aerial ace
batonpass
swordsdance
substitute

or

Ninjask@Leftovers
Jolly: Speed boost
252 Hp, 160 Atk, 96 Speed (faster than timid trode)
silver wind
batonpass
substitute
swordsdance/protect

Blaziken.

- I dont have much experience using Blaz, although I've tried it before. Most blaz variants I've seen use either Sub/focus, Overheat/White, or Sub Reversal. personally, I dont think blaz is that strong, unless taking down Bliss/Skarm combo.
- max speed is 259 w/o boosted via personality. I'm not sure if that'll be fast enough.
- Chances are, w/ no def boostage and minimum hp boost, you'll get OHKO'd by stab, and that means petaya berry wont go off.
- I don't know what i'd do, but I just thought I'd put what i think of it.

Salamence.

- Pretty much what everyone uses bar some who use it as a special sweeper, and those that add FB for Skarm, but I haven't seen that many around.
- Personally, I see no reason to go 153 speed. You dont get any advantage w/ one DD Vs max speed ninjask, which will be faster than you anyway, or timid trode, and you're much faster than jolt and aero. Why not either go jolly, 176 speed ev, (faster than ninjask), or adamant, 168 speed ev (faster than electrode) or adamant, 124 speed ev (faster than jolt/cro/etc.). I don't think going in between these values helps a whole heap, it's just a waste of ev's.
- you could consier lefties>lum, but both work.

Suicune.

- I really dont like battling against this thing. I've used it before, and I prefer Max Hp ev's definitely. This guy is a Tank, a very good tank, because it just sits there, then starts OHKOing everything when it feels like it.

The version I've used goes like this.

Suicune@Leftovers/Chesto
Bold: Pressure(very annoying)
252 hp, 252 def, 4 sp def.
Calm mind
Rest
Surf
Icebeam

Some things that get past suicune.
Roar when it's asleep.
Sub/haze/batonpass vaporeon to snorlax or something.
Blissey ARGH
Perish song

Raichu.

- I just dont know...

Celebi is definitely better, though on par with making your team too over used people just wont battle you. Already having Calm Cune doesn't help. but I think Celery fits in, and makes this team stronger.

Celery@lefties
Bold/modest: Natural
252 hp, 128 def, 128 spdef
Leechseed
Psychic
healbell
Recover

or something like

Celery2@Lefties
Timid: Natural
Leech seed
Psychic
Substitute
Calm mind

That second set it really annoying, although it doesn't provide any status cover.

OVER ALL RATINGS... Your team could get beaten by your own Salamence combo'd w/ something else. After they get rid of your suicune, Salamence owns this team, as does non taunt Gyarados. You're right, your team does lack defence, but having one guy being able to pass to them ONCE, doesn't help too much. I think with this team, you need greater healing moves, because any team with 1 or 2 hazers, plus solid defences could waste you donn via swicth wars quite easily IMO.

That's all. Hope I helped a bit.

One question, how do you get Celebi?

On NetBattle, you create a team by chosing your pokemon from a list of all 386. You also pick your IVs as well as chosing how/where to distribute your EVs (that's what the lines of numbers mean). You also pick items to hold and your moveset from the list of all possible moves...
