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: Jolly EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe - Outrage - Earthquake - Swords Dance - Poison Jab Metagross @Choice Band Ability: Clear Body Nature: Adamant EVs: 164 HP / 252 Atk / 92 Spe - Hammer Arm - Bullet Punch - Zen Headbutt - Meteor Mash Starmie @Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure Nature: Timid EVs: 248 HP / 32 Def / 4 SpA / 224 Spe - Scald - Rapid Spin - Recover - Ice Beam Rotom-H @Choice Specs Ability: Levitate Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Overheat - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt - Trick |
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.
