Team Pointers
 
Hey guys I'm new to breeding IV and EV stuff and competitive, so I want you guys to help me with my team.I need help with movesets still, too. I haven't made it yet, but this is what I got:

Greninja w/ Protean
Thinking about U-turn, surf, night slash, and something else

Aegislash
King's Shield, swords dance, shadow sneak, and somethin else :P

For a physical sweeper, im thinking Garchomp or Tyranitar but IDK

Sylveon
Wish, protect, moonblast, calm mind

Talonflame
Fly, Flare Blitz, ...

Lucario
Aura Sphere, Calm Mind, Me First, and again, something else

Thanks for any help you guys can give me :)

Greninja is better off specializing in Special moves almost exclusively. Night Slash isn't worth bothering, since 95 Attack isn't really the best:
-Hydro Pump/Surf
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam
-U-turn/Hidden Power (Fire)
Nature: Hasty/Timid
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Spikes
-Hydro Pump/Surf
-Dark Pulse/Ice Beam
-Hidden Power (Fire)
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Focus Sash/Life Orb

Aegislash can run a multitude of sets:
-King's Shield
-Shadow Ball/Iron Head
-Shadow Sneak
-Iron Head/Sacred Sword
Nature: Quiet/Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 SAtk or 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Def
Item: Leftovers

or
-Swords Dance
-Shadow Sneak
-Iron Head/Sacred Sword
-King's Shield
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak
-Iron Head
-Sacred Sword
Nature: Quiet/Brave
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 SAtk
Item: Spooky Plate/Life Orb

or
-Autotomize
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Iron Head/Sacred Sword
Nature: Rash
EVs: 88 Atk/252 SAtk/168 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Swords Dance
-Shadow Sneak
-Shadow Claw
-Iron Head
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spe
Item: Leftovers

I'd say that Garchomp is the better fit on the team because of how Tyranitar' Sand Stream doesn't benefit everyone on the team:
-Swords Dance
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang/Stone Edge
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Lum Berry/Yache Berry/Haban Berry

or
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang/Stone Edge/Fire Blast
-Dragon Claw/Dual Chop
Nature: Jolly/Naive
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band/Choice Scarf

Sylveon is better off doing Wish or Calm Mind separately, IMO:
-Wish
-Protect
-Moonblast
-Shadow Ball/Hidden Power (Fire)
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Calm Mind
-Moonblast
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power (Fire)
Nature: Modest/Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 Spe (Modest) or 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spe (Bold)
Item: Leftovers

Talonflame must use Gale Wings as an ability. Despite its already high Speed, Talonflame finds Gale Wings useful in revenge killing Speed Boost Blaziken/Scolipede:
-Swords Dance
-Flare Blitz
-Brave Bird
-Roost/Tailwind/Will-o-Wisp
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 192 HP/252 Atk/4 Def/60 Spe
Item: Sharp Beak/Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings

Lucario is too frail to utilize Me First:
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-ExtremeSpeed/Bullet Punch
-Crunch/Shadow Claw
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lucarionite

or
-Nasty Plot
-Aura Sphere
-Flash Cannon
-Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse/Vacuum Wave
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Lucarionite

or
-Agility
-Close Combat
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Flash Cannon/Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball
Nature: Rash
EVs: 252 Atk/84 SAtk/172 Spe
Item: Lucarionite
