I've played through x and I have a froakie with protean so thats a start on my team looked at some of the shops and saw some people who had the first evolution of most of these. I plan to later make some offers to the store owners but was wondering if this team would work good and I have no idea what to have for a sixth pokemon on my team. Planing on playing through y with my competitive team before i start my competitive battling though.

Weezing isn't that good, really. There are better utility Poison Pokemon out there, like Crobat:
-Brave Bird
-Defog
-Roost
-Taunt/Toxic
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 168 HP/140 Atk/200 Spe
Item: Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator

What's the point of Megazard X having Swords Dance if Flare Blitz is the only move that benefits from the Attack boost? Also, Dragon Dance >>>>>>>>> Swords Dance because it gives Charizard a Speed boost in addition to an Attack boost:
-Dragon Dance
-Flare Blitz/Fire Punch
-Dragon Claw/Outrage
-Earthquake/Roost
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

or
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Fire Punch/Earthquake
-Roost
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 144 HP/244 Atk/120 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

or
-Fire Punch/Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Will-o-Wisp
-Roost
Nature: Careful
EVs: 248 HP/148 SDef/112 Spe
Item: Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze

Aegislash primarily uses Shadow Ball as a Ghost STAB just so it doesn't get crippled by burn:
-Substitute
-Toxic
-Shadow Ball
-King's Shield
Nature: Modest
EVs: 244 HP/252 SAtk/12 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Shadow Ball
-Sacred Sword
-Iron Head/Shadow Sneak/Pursuit
-King's Shield
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 244 HP/252 SAtk/12 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Shadow Ball
-Flash Cannon
-Sacred Sword
-Shadow Sneak/Pursuit
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Spooky Plate/Spell Tag

or
-Swords Dance
-Shadow Sneak
-Iron Head/Shadow Claw
-Sacred Sword/Head Smash
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

or
-Autotomize
-Shadow Ball
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Sacred Sword/Iron Head/Flash Cannon
Nature: Rash/Modest
EVs: 124 Atk/252 SAtk/132 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Weakness Policy

Tyrantrum is severely outclassed in OU because Tyranitar does what it can do better. If you don't mind the passive damage that Tyranitar's Sand Stream brings, give it a shot:
-Crunch
-Stone Edge/Ice Beam
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock/Fire Blast
Nature: Impish/Relaxed
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream

Greninja is too frail to use Swagger. Water Shuriken is laughably weak, given that it runs off of Greninja's lower offensive stat. That, and Greninja is fast enough that it doesn't need priority to function. Blizzard is horribly inaccurate outside of hail:
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Extrasensory
-Dark Pulse/Hidden Power (Grass/Fire)/Spikes
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash
Ability: Protean

You could probably use another Pokemon with special attacks, see how 4/5 of your Pokémon are physically based (well, Aegislash is mixed but whatever). But who to use....


eh, Goodra, until I can think of other things:


-Goodra w/Assault Vest
Nature: Modest/Mild
Ability: Sap Sipper/Gooey
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp.Attack, 4 Sp.Defense
Moves: Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast/Earthquake, Fire Blast, Thunderbolt/Sludge Bomb


And poor Tyrantrum. Maybe once it gets Rock head it won't suck so hard competitively....IF Game Freak releases Rock Head for it.
