    Hi, im new to the world of competitive pokemon battling and need some help. Iv'e been playing pokemon ever since i was 5 but in the new pokemon world battling is not what it used to be with the likes of Ev/s and Iv's. With these new chances to increase stats, just a pokemons type does not determine how well it will perform in a battle.

    So if anybody would like to help me and explain to me how Ev's and Iv's work and help me to perfect my team, it would be greatly appreciated.

    My team currently consists of the following:

    Ev's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
    Moveset:

    ~ Waterfall
    ~ Earthquake
    ~ Ice Punch
    ~ Superpower

    Arcanine
    Item: Leftover
    Ability: Intimidate
    Nature: Bold
    Iv's: 30 SpA / 30 SpD

    ~ Hidden Power Ice
    ~ Focus Blast
    ~ Trick

    Dragonite
    Item: Choice Band
    Nature: Adament / Jolly
    Ev's: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
    Moveset:

    ~ Outrage
    ~ Earthquake
    ~ Fire Punch / Superpower
    ~ Aqua Tail

    Scizor
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Technician

    Dragonite@Choice Band
    252 Att / 6 Def / 252 Speed
    Adamant Nature
    - Extremespeed
    - Outrage
    - SuperPower
    - Fire Punch


    Please.

    This way you aren't an inferior Salamence. CB Dragonite has 2 things CB Mence does not. 1. The ability to revenge kill with Extremespeed and 2. The ability to cover ALL steels (grounded and floating) by using SuperPower so it doesn't need to predict to soften up its checks and counters this makes spamming Outrage late game alot easier.

    Salamence as a lead is a joke. It loses to everything and you aren't going to sweep turn one.

    Replace Arcanine for Heatran please. Arcanine sucks in OU and you already have enough SR weak Pokemon. Heatran also gets Stealth Rock (something which you lack) and is also a good lead, again something which you lack.

    Feraligatr once again is an inferior Gyarados and as a CBer Azumarril. Use Swords Dance/Aqua Jet/Waterfall/Return please with a Life Orb.

    Scarf Gengar is pursuit bait x90000, get rid of it for a better scarfer or just not use a scarfer since you have plenty of priority to keep pokemon in check so a scarfer seems rather useless here, especially one as terrible as Gengar.
