  • Well, I'm planning on getting into the competitive scene, and I want a good team to fight with. Here it is:

    Greninja @ Expert Belt/Wise Glasses
    Modest
    Protean
    252 Sp. Att/252 Spd/6 HP
    -Surf
    -Dark Pulse
    -Ice Beam//Hidden Power Dragon
    -Spikes

    Greninja is on the team because the boost from Protean can wreck teams. It has Spikes incase of Electric types switching in, and if possible, would have Hidden Power Dragon (could someone tell me the IVs needed for Hidden Power Dragon?) to negate Grass type attacks.

    Goodra @ Assault Vest
    Calm
    Gooey
    252 HP/252 Sp. Att/6 Def
    -Draco Meteor
    -Sludge Wave/Sludge Bomb
    -Thunderbolt/Flamethrower/Muddy Water
    -Focus Blast/Fire Blast

    Goodra's there to wreak havoc and soak them Special Attacks. It's both a sweeper and a tank! It just has so many moves it's hard to choose which ones to use. Any help?

    Scizor @ Scizorite
    Adamant
    Technician
    252 HP/ 40 Atk/216 Sp. Def.
    -Roost/Defog
    -Swords Dance/U-Turn/Defog
    -Bullet Punch
    -Knock-Off

    Scizorite is another bulky sweeper. I'm considering dropping Swords Dance for another move like U-Turn or Defog, as I need something to remove entry hazards. I'm not sure about what mega to use, but I really like Scizor, so it'll be on my team for now.

    Talonflame @ Life Orb
    Adamant
    Gale Wings
    124 HP /252 Atk/132 Spe
    -Roost
    -Flare Blitz
    -Brave Bird
    -Steel Wing

    Pretty straightforward. Gale Wings is a great ability and with access to Roost, Talonflame can heal away all Life Orb and Recoil Damage, which'll be quite handy.

    Klefki @ Light Clay
    Bold
    Prankster
    252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
    -Reflect
    -Light Screen
    -Thunder Wave
    -Foul Play

    Klefki would be my Dual Screens, Lead, and Crippler. It don't take nothing from Mega Kangaskahn and can defend other team mates and keep them in the field longer.

    Trevenant @ Sitrus Berry
    Careful
    Harvest
    120 Def / 252 HP / 132 Spe
    Impish
    -Leech Seed
    -Protect
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Shadow Claw/Horn Leech

    Trevenant is there to stall and cripple physical attackers. Leech Seed + Will-o-Wisp will slowly whittle a target down. Plus, Leech Seed switches in, so the benefits can be spread.

    Well, that's my team. Any changes I should make before I start?

  • Use a Timid nature for Greninja because it needs all the Speed it can get. With Modest, it fails to outspeed threats like Alakazam and Dugtrio. Also, HP Dragon isn't worth it, since Ice Beam has better coverage.

    I don't think Talonflame needs Life Orb + 3 attacks. It's not that strong, and needs a Swords Dance boost or Choice Band boost to be effective:
    -Swords Dance
    -Flare Blitz
    -Brave Bird
    -Roost/Will-o-Wisp/Tailwind
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs:192 HP/252 Atk/4 Def/60 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Sharp Beak/Sky Plate
    Ability: Gale Wings

    or
    -Flare Blitz
    -Brave Bird
    -U-turn
    -Will-o-Wisp/Tailwind
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 192 HP/252 Atk/4 Def/60 Spe
    Item: Choice Band
    Ability: Gale Wings

    Trevenant should use 252 HP/140 Def/116 Spe. Also, consider this:
    -Substitute
    -Leech Seed
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Phantom Force
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/140 Def/116 Spe
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Ability: Harvest

    U-turn shouldn't be bothered with on Scizor because it wipes away the boosts it stacked up upon switching out:
    -Swords Dance
    -Bullet Punch
    -Thief/Knock Off/Defog
    -X-Scissor/Defog/Roost
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 248 HP/16 Atk/244 SDef
    Item: Scizorite
    Ability: Technician

    Specially defensive Goodra should look like this:
    -Dragon Pulse
    -Fire Blast/Flamethrower
    -Thunderbolt
    -Toxic/Dragon Tail
    Nature: Calm/Sassy
    EVs: 252 HP/4 SAtk/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

    Assault Vest Goodra should look like this:
    -Draco Meteor
    -Fire Blast/Flamethrower
    -Thunderbolt/Sludge Bomb
    -Toxic/Dragon Tail
    Nature: Modest/Quiet
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SAtk
    Item: Choice Specs/Assault Vest
    Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper
