Hello as title says I'm coming back into Pokemon since Platinum so a lot has changed to me. To begin with this will be a 3 pokemon team as its I've decided to make for some fun matchs with my close friends and MAYBE some competitive if their is a gamemode for me in 3v3 single.

Well first I wanted to make a team around Noivern as he is my favorite pokemon 6th Gen.

Noivern (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Roost
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower

Then I thought what would go well with it... then it hit me DRIZZLE ! It makes Hurricane 100% and it gets ride of my Best friends Sandstorm set up momentum.

Politoed @ Leftovers
Ability: Drizzle
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Scald
- Hypnosis
- Protect

as a filler I knew I had a big weakness to Electric so I brought in this Mega.

Mega Mawile:
Nature Adamant
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe
-Play Rough
-Sucker Punch
-Iron Head
-Swords Dance


So if you wouldn't mind give me tips tricks and etc to help me improve this team.

There's no need for Noivern to use Choice Scarf because it's already very fast. Dark Pulse also doesn't give Noivern any noteworthy coverage; Draco Meteor already hits Dark and Ghost Pokemon hard enough, while Flamethrower takes care of Aegislash:
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower
-Focus Blast
-Switcheroo/U-turn/Hurricane
Nature: Timid/Naive
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Frisk/Infiltrator

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

Mega Ampharos is way too slow to use max Speed. Its bulk should be the main focus. Its EV spread should be 236 HP/252 SAtk/20 Spe; the 20 Speed EVs let it outspeed Hippowdon.

You're actually more weak to Fairy than Electric. Noivern is neutral to Electric because Dragon resists Electric. You could put a Steel type in Mega-Ampharos's place. Steel/Water/Dragon makes a decent defensive core.

And Singles in the Battle Spot (in unrated, at least) does 3v3 matches. Or if you meant 3 Pokemon out all at once, there's Triples.

Thanks for the input it really helps.

Would Mega-Mawille/Mega-Scizor be a good replacement ? I was thinkin it would also help in keeping people from setting up sp def walls on me. Or was you thinking more of a bulkier Steel type ?
