First competetive team
 
Since I've been playing Pokemon X for a while I decided to build my first competetive team. Its purpose is mostly to compete with others online without using too many overpowered Pokemon. Instead I've tried to build it a little more balanced but since I don't have any experience I'd like to get some feedback of things I might consider.

My team:

Ferrothorn @Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD
- Stealth Rocks
- Spikes
- Power Wip
- Gyro Ball

Gardevoir @Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace/Pixilate
Nature: Timid
EVs: 56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
- Psychic
- Moonblast
- Will-O-Wisp
- Calm Mind

Garchomp @Life Orb
Ability: Sand Veil

Nature: Adamant
EVs: 164 HP / 252 Atk / 92 Spe

While Gardevoir can patch up its low Defense with Will-o-Wisp, it's not recommended in its current set. Because of this, I'd recommend that Will-o-Wisp be used for defensive sets only. This is an offensive set, so Gardevoir can drop Will-o-Wisp for another coverage move like Focus Blast.

I like your team a lot overall because of the way everything has nice synchrony. Ferrothorn is about your only counter to a greninja protean set (bar HP fire sets), so you may want to look into that. I think your team looks pretty good overall if you take Platinumdude's advice (^^^^) and fix that, you will do well. Remember to keep ferro and starmie alive or else you will get destroyed by either greninja or hazards, respectively.
