Hi everyone, I've decided and picked the team I'm going to build up. The team is for both in-game and competitive gaming. Not too much focus on competitive gaming but I'd like to be at least somewhat of a match by using the same ingame team. I tried to balance my team between Pokémons I like and actually a minimum of balance. I'm aware of the fact that most teams I'll face inthe competitive scene will melt my team

I picked my first 5, but I can't pick the sixth. Could you guys help me out by picking one? I know there are better options, but like I said, I don't 'need' the strongest, op pokémon.

My team:

Ninjask Baton Passer
Scyther Physical Sweeper
Greninja Mixed Sweeper
Venusaur Special Sweeper (bulky)
Noivern Special Sweeper

I know, a lot of sweeping..


Candidates for Tanks (Physical pref)

Gliscor
Blastoise
Gyarados
Kangaskhan
Slowbro



Thank you guys (;

Move sets for all Pokemon would be appreciated:

Scolipede is a better Baton Passer than Ninjask because it actually has the bulk to take hits, plus it has more offensive presence:
-Megahorn
-Spikes/Toxic Spikes
-Swords Dance/Toxic Spikes
-Earthquake/Rock Slide/Baton Pass
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost

or
-Substitute
-Baton Pass
-Protect
-Swords Dance/Iron Defense
Nature: Timid
EVs: 248 HP/208 SDef/52 Spe
Item: Mental Herb/Black Sludge
Ability: Speed Boost

Scizor is a better physical attacker than Scyther because of its bulk and good typing. Be aware that it shares a Fire weakness with Ninjask/Scolipede:
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch
-Superpower
-Knock Off/Pursuit
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Technician

or
-Swords Dance
-Bug Bite
-Bullet Punch
-Knock Off/Superpower
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Technician

or
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite/U-turn/X-Scissor
-Roost
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/152 Atk/108 SDef
Item: Scizorite/Leftovers
Ability: Technician

or
-U-turn
-Bullet Punch/Knock Off
-Defog
-Roost
Nature: Careful
EVs: 248 HP/84 Atk/172 SDef
Item: Leftovers/Scizorite
Ability: Technician

Mixed Greninja is terrible. Its Attack isn't high enough to take advantage of physical moves; its special moves have more damage output:
-Hydro Pump/Surf
-Ice Beam/Dark Pulse
-Extrasensory/Dark Pulse
-U-turn/Hidden Power (Fire)
Nature: Hasty/Timid
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Protean

or
-Spikes/Toxic Spikes
-Hydro Pump/Surf
-Ice Beam
-U-turn/Extrasensory
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash

If you're not using Venusaur in sun teams, use the Mega form:
-Giga Drain
-Sludge Bomb
-Earthquake/Hidden Power (Fire)/Leech Seed
-Synthesis
Nature: Relaxed/Bold
EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/168 SDef or 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Item: Venusaurite

Noivern is played as a fast scout:
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-Focus Blast
-U-turn/Hurricane/Switcheroo
Nature: Naive/Timid
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Frisk/Infiltrator

or
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-Focus Blast
-U-turn/Roost
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Frisk/Infiltrator

Remember that Kangaskhan and Blastoise are only good in their Mega forms. Your Mega slot is pretty much taken up at this point, so count them out. The former's Mega Stone is even banned in Smogon OU. I'd use Gliscor as a physical wall on the team:
-Earthquake
-Knock Off/U-turn
-Protect/Roost
-Toxic/Stealth Rock
Nature: Impish
EVs: 244 HP/40 Def/224 Spe
Item: Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal

I figured that out later. My preferences were going to Slowbro or Gliscor. About the movepools, yeah sorry.. Reason I didn't post the exact movesets is because I don't have them yet. I wanted to focus on the team selections. The Greninja is horrible indeed as a mixed sweeper, but I'll keep it just for in-game. It's his nature that prevented me from building him as a Sp Sweeper.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback!
