Well, I've been breeding to get a decent milotic, but I finnaly got one.
Milotic @ Leftovers
IV's:[estimated]31/17/16/31/31/27
EV's: 252 DEF, 132 Sp.ATK, 100 HP, 26 Spd
Nature: Modest (-atk,+Sp.atk)
Moves:
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Mirror Coat
-Recover
Just to clear some things, I used the 26 spd ev's, to bring Milotic's speed up to 200 to outrun most slower pokemon. The mirror coat/recover combo is for pokemon that are water type and resist my other attacks. The only bad thing I found on this pokemon, was the DEF IV was average, but this was the best I was going to get, so I kept it. However, I know this pokemon has perfect IV's in HP, Sp.ATK and Sp. DEF.
SO what do you think? Is this good enough?

Moltres used Toxic?
Milotic should ALWAYS run a RestTalk set of some sort. I'd say go with the standard set.
Also the uncommon Kingler sets up on that set and, according to your team, may completely sweep you. But it's not common and it's underrated. It's a complete BEAST.
(You should not concern about that, but you should keep something like that in mind. I used an example)
So, run a RestTalk set, and Milo wants 31HP 31DEF 31 SPDEF and the highest SP.ATK and SPEEED possible, to tie with other Milotic at least.

You could use that as an offensive milotic as well, though that set usually likes having a timid nature as well as 252 Speed EV's in order to make sure that it outruns positive base 80 speed pokemon such as Venusaur, Kabutops, Blaziken, and Altaria.

Hi. I think I have a team, but I wanted to get some help with it. I'm not sure about some moves or held items etc. so help there would be very appreciated too.
Linoone @ choice Scarf - Hopefully to become a revenge killer
Timid (+Spe-Atk)
EVs: 252Sp.Atk/252Spe
Moveset:
Surf
???
???
???
I'm not sure how I should fill the last three spaces.
Kingdra @ ??? (a Special Sweeper, but I'm not sure on the held item)
Rash (+Sp.Atk-Sp.Def)
EVs: 252Sp.Atk/252Spe/4HP
Moveset:
Outrage/Draco Meteor
DDance
Ice Beam
Surf
Really a guess at what its moves should be. Outrage seems the lesser attack to choose, looking at what I want it for.
Tyranitar @ Muscle Band
Brave (+Atk-Spe)
EVs: 252Atk/152HP/104Def
Moveset:
Earthquake
Rock Slide
DDance
Outrage
These are, again, a guess but pretty much a complete guess at Tyranitar. It could be a good Aggressive Tank.
Celebi @ Leaf Plate
Modest (+Sp.Atk-Atk)
EVs: 252Sp.Atk/252Spe/4HP
Moveset:
Leaf Storm
Sunny Day
Psychic
SolarBeam
This is probably my best thought out of the lot. But its team doesn't look hopeful.
I am missing two slots for my team and wasn't sure how to fill them. Kingdra is my main focus, and I've covered its electric and Dragon Weaknesses. So, help with my last two slots would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yeah but evs suck, put the s.att evs in HP. Toxic >> Mirror Coat.
Uh no ? Stalker Milotic is kinda suck because its set up fodder lol
The point of a SubRoost is set is, usually, to PP stall via the ability Pressure. Skarmory is slow so it would reqiure alot of prediction to get a sub up. Aerodactyl imo is better. Yes its weak to Bullet Punch which is very common and to a lesser extent Mach Punch and Ice Shard (less common) but it has pressure and is very fast. Bullet Punch is also easy to get rid of if it is paired with Magnezone on a team as it can take out Scizor, Lucario and Metagross who are all a threat with Bullet Punch. You can give it Rock Slide to take out Weavile (if its behind a sub) who could carry Ice Shard or some other teammate to take out Mamoswine/Infernape with Mach Punch.
So a set with Sub/Roost/Rock Slide/EQ?
Yeah I considered Aero. I think it'll pair up well with a Roserade lead, right?
Then I have two teammates for my Balanced team.
Weavile isn't common and I saw 1 Mamoswine out of 20 battles..
OK, Shouldn't I go for Zapdos for SubRoost? SR weak, but if I can get my Moltres to SR well in UU I think Zapdos shouldn't be too hard.

Yeah Aero is about the worst sub rooster you can find this side of Ninjask. ~___~
Use Zapdos, just because something is SR weak that doesn't make it bad. :/
Zapdos@Leftovers
248 HP / 184 SpD / 76 Spe
Calm Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Substitute
- Roost
- Toxic / Hidden Power [Ice] / Roar
Use this with entry hazards and spin support and watch things struggle.

Anyone else finds Metagross an awesome Anti-Lead?
Metagross @ Lum Berry
252 Atk / 124 SpA / 132 Spe
Ability: Clear Body
Naughty Nature
-HP Fire
-Ice Punch
-Bullet Punch
-Earthquake
Nice type coverage, OHKOs almost all leads, 2HKOing other leads. HP Fire is for would be counters like Skarmory and Forretress, who'll happily come in and set up hazards. Ice Punch can be useful in some situations, surprising Dragon-types and allows me to hit Gyarados (most notably). Bullet Punch to kill them once their Sash activates. EQ is for general coverage and is always nice.

If you want a good normal revenge killer (assuming this is the lower tiers), you could run Exploud >> Lioone, since that actually has quite beastly attacking stats and great type coverage. Something like Surf | Hyper Voice | Overheat | Shadow Ball would be better, since really lioone is better off as a belly drummer with its stab ES. It might just be me being bad, but that thing swept me once and I had no idea what happened, so.. yeah. I'll probably use it one day, but only in the lower tiers. You might want to switch this slot out for something else.
Celebi usually doesn't run Psychic, due to the fact that it does nothing to the stuff that walls it, like Latias and steels. HP Fire and T-wave allows you to cripple stuff that switches in on it, so use that over Sunny Day and Solarbeam. Psychic is kinda neat if you want it to hit stuff like Rotom quite hard, but it might be better to run recovery aka Rest|Recover over that move. Your choice though. Modest is a good nature here, since you will be paralyzing a lot of stuff switching in.
Tyranitar wants speed EV's if it is ever going to outspeed anything when dancing. A jolly nature allows you to beat stuff like latias after one dd iirc. Moveset should be something like DD|Stone Edge|Crunch|Aqua Tail/EQ and with a Life Orb.
If you want Kingdra to be a special sweeper, why use DD? Either abuse Specs sniper with Draco Meteor| Hydro Pump| Dragon Pulse | Surf @ Timid Nature, or use a rain dance special set with RD|Surf/Pump|Dragon Pulse|Signal Beam/HP Electri @ Life Orb @ Modest Nature. If you decide to run the RD set, you might consider changing your team around a little more in order for it to benefit from the rain. Also, unless you decide to go with specsdra, your team currently lacks something that can just do damage without setting up, so you might want to do something about that.
Good luck with your team!

You should your 2 steel attacks with gyro ball, Gyro ball does lots of damage to faster foes. You could also consider explosion, and the 3 elemental fangs. I would recommend
-Earthquake
-Gyro ball
-Stone Edge
-Explosion/Fire fang/Ice fang
The only Pokemon who resists all of your frist 3 attacks is a bronzong with levitate. Of course, there are bronzong with heat proof out there.
