Suggestions for Team
 
I'm trying to figure out moves for a fantasy character of mine. I've been trying out different moves and movesets on Netbattle, but quite frankly, I think I'm confusing myself. Anyways, if you have some suggestions, please state them. I am NOT changing Pokemon, only moves, natures, and EVs. Thank you.

Flygon (M) @ Leftovers ** Wrath
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 SAtk, 6 Spd
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Quick Attack

Dragon Claw stays, end of story. That attack is vital to a character's development. But other than that, I'd like to make this as good as possible.

Salamence (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
-Dragon Claw
-Hydro Pump
-Fire Blast
-Crunch

Ninetales (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP, 252 SDef, 6 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
-Flamethrower
-Hidden Power (Grass)
-Protect
-Will-O-Wisp

This is the one I have trouble with. I have NO idea how to work EVs with Ninetales. EVs happen to be my weakness, so I'll never suggest them, either.

Metagross @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 174 Atk, 84 HP, 84 Def, 84 Spd, 84 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
-Brick Break
-Earthquake
-Meteor Mash
-Shadow Ball

What is this obsession with blowing things up? People hate Destiny Bond, but love Explosion. I just don't get it.

Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers ** Indignation
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP, 138 Def, 120 Atk
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
-Aerial Ace
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide

Milotic (M) @ Leftovers ** Eloquence
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 HP, 104 Def, 90 SDef, 46 Spd, 18 SAtk
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
-Ice Beam
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Surf



Despite obvious weaknesses, this team holds up pretty well. Just adjust the EVs, Natures, and moves to your liking.

Heh, only 6 speed EVs?? Anyway, Fire Blast and Hidden Power Bug are options over Quick Attack; Fire Blast to damage Skarm obiviously, and hp bug to hurt things like Celebi and Claydol.

Salamence (M) @ Leftovers

EVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
-Dragon Claw
-Hydro Pump
-Fire Blast

I prefer Brick Brake on my special mence over crunch.... even though it does like 35% damage to bliss only, but lures out Skarm and others, then you can OHKO them. What would crunch do anyway? OHKO Starmie on the switch?

Ninetales (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP, 252 SDef, 6 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
-Flamethrower
-Hidden Power (Grass)
-Protect
-Will-O-Wisp

Well, I've never used Ninetales before, so I can't really help you with the EVs, but I'm sure they're not right... Hypnosis or Grudge might work instead of Protect. Your team kinda has a Suicune problem anyway, so Grudging a Suicune Surf might be useful imo.

Metagross @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 174 Atk, 84 HP, 84 Def, 84 Spd, 84 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
-Brick Break
-Earthquake
-Meteor Mash
-Shadow Ball

No, it doesn't need any sp.def EVs. Give it a Choice Band, and if you don't like Explosion, then go with Rock Slide and Sludge Bomb over Brick Brake and Shadow Ball. And maybe max out attack.

Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers ** Indignation
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP, 138 Def, 120 Atk
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
-Aerial Ace
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide

You know, it does get hp flying... anyway, Taunt > AA. He will need around 168 speed EVs to outspeed CBmence after 1 Dragon Dance. You should only go with 252 hp, if you use the Substitute version of DDtar. Then go with less speed and more attack. Btw, those defense EVs are pointless on him, imo.

Milotic (M) @ Leftovers ** Eloquence
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 HP, 104 Def, 90 SDef, 46 Spd, 18 SAtk
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
-Ice Beam
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Surf

Looks ok, though I prefer 196 hp, 252 def, 4 spd and 56 sp.attack. It should have a Bold nature.

Despite obvious weaknesses, this team holds up pretty well. Just adjust the EVs, Natures, and moves to your liking.

Well, your team has some serious Suicune problems, but other than that, it looks fine I guess. Anyway, good luck.
