First ever Build/Prototype.
 
Hey! Ive been doing alot of reading on competitive game play as its something I want to try later on.
I haven't played a Pokemon since blue so a lot is new to me.

This is a team I came up with and would like any kind of feedback

Mirai (Arcanine) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 72 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SDef / 176 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
- Wild Charge
- Close Combat

Metagross @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 96 Atk / 160 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Zen Headbutt
- Meteor Mash
- Pursuit
- Earthquake

Xatu @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 96 SDef
Careful Nature
- Toxic
- Roost
- U-turn
- Psychic

Roserade @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
- Synthesis

Blastoise @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Relaxed Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Scald
- Dragon Tail
- Foresight

Cloyster @ King's Rock
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear

I have Cloyster,Arcanine,Metagross,Xatu already in game in pokemon Y But have yet to use them online.

I want to keep Arcanine in my team,possibly Cloyster. Thank you!

A Careful nature weakens Xatu's Psychic. Use a Calm nature and the EV spread 252 HP/240 SDef/16 Spe.

A Jolly nature is still Cloyster's preferred nature because with Adamant, it fails to outspeed certain Choice Scarf opponents.

Blastoise gained a Mega Evolution in X/Y. Instead of having to use Foresight on Ghosts to ensure Rapid Spin goes off, it can eliminate them outright with Dark Pulse. Mega Blastoise has Mega Launcher, which boosts the power of Aura and Pulse moves:
-Hydro Pump/Scald/Water Pulse
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam/Dragon Pulse/Aura Sphere
-Rapid Spin
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 SDef
Item: Blastoisenite

Metagross' current set is best utilized with Choice Band. Use 164 HP/252 Atk/92 Spe as the EV spread with Choice Band. Its current spread is best off utilizing Stealth Rock.

Thank you alot. The info on blastoise is great!

Also Stealth rock as a TM is not x and y,so can Metagross learn it in this game yet?

Not yet. Wait till Poke Transfer. For now, change Metagross' EV spread to the one I suggested.
