I easily was defeated by his Mismagus and all he used was Shadow ball and easily defeated the rest of the pokemon I had. What could be wrong with my team?

EDIT: I forgot to put the items they where holding when I was posting this. Also they were all EV trained in certain stats as well. Also, another odd thing is that all of thier natures are the same. They all have a "Naughty" nature. It could be like that because they were all were eggs from the breeding process using a ditto and another pokemon of their species.

EDIT 2: Added what they where EV trained in what specific stats they were used for.

Your Movesets may be the problem.

Iron Tail is a terrible move on any Pokemon!

And why is it that nearly every Pokemon you have is made to be a Mixed Attacker?

Water Pulse is outclassed by Surf.

Sunny Day has no use on your team.

Mightyena is only really used as a Physical Sweeper and it shows, seen as your Sp.Att is still lower than your normal Attack even though you are using it as a Special Sweeper!

EV's and Items help aswell.

Just added some important details to the pokemon such as what items they were holding and thier natures.

Breeding for specific natures is very important as natures can provide a 10% boost to one stat while usually only reducing a stat you don't use. If your entire team have Naught nature then I'm not surprised that Mismagius OHKO'ed both Blastoise and Venusaur from full health since Naughty brings down Sp.D. Your best bet is to post the EV's given, not the stats, and then people can get a good idea and what these guys are about and help you improve on them. Also as Daiko said, mixed sets are more commonly a bad idea. Only about 10% of Pokemon can pull them off effectively.

Ah I see...I'll add what EV's they where specifically trained for. As for how many EV's they have..I don't know how to check them.

I suggest www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon for very good and useful sets on pokemon. This site is very good for beginners and advanced trainers alike, and can help you with your team, as well as with predicted the moves on the opposing sides.
It also gives the item you should use, a lengthy description as to how it should be used, Recommended EV spread and nature.

There are many guides there as to how to make a pokemon stronger. Read up over there to learn the tips and tricks that make a good battler

I not exactly sure what this is supposed to mean, the EV's they have is what you trained them in.
