    ive narrowed down the majority of my team but im having difficulty filling in the last gaps, team is for competitive use, doubles and singles in rating battles in ORAS. So far minus movesets and EVs to keep it simplified i have,

    Gardevoir-most likely my mega
    Greninja with protean
    Landorus-T with intimidate
    Rotom wash-levitate


    and heres where it drops off. i have ideas of using scizor, talonflame, charizard, venesaur, salamence, metagross or even chandelure. problem is i cant decide what combo for the remaining two slots would probably work out the best. any help?

    currently feeling scizor and mence or mence and venusaur

  • you can have a really nice volturn with Lando T / Rotom / Talonflame. Talonflame and rotom are IIRC a good core as they have cover each other weaknesses and keep momentum. Plus I can see talonflame adding 2 great stabs to your team with fly + fire.
