Hy guys. With the arrival of the VI Gen I thought to start playing competitive (before I only liked the stories of the games and hacks). I don't have so much experience in competitive pokemon, so I was testing in Showdown and researching in Smogon to make a decent team. What do you think about it?

- Scizor (Choice Band) 242 HP/252 Atk/16 Spe
Ability: Technician Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk)
Moves: U-turn, Bullet Punch, Brick Break, Pursuit

- Mandibuzz (Leftovers) 238 HP/136 Def/134 SpDef
Ability: Overcoat Nature: Impish (+Def,-SpAtk)
Moves: Defog, Foul Play, Roost, Whirlwind
Only as Defogger. My tests show me that I need a hazard remover. At first I used Excadrill, but I want a more defensive pokemon

- Greninja (Life Orb) 4 HP/252 SpAtk/252 Spe
Ability: Protean Nature: Timid (+Speed, -Atk)
Moves: Scald, Hidden Power (Fire), Dark Pulse, Ice Beam

- Metagross (Assault Vest) 222 HP/94 Def/184 SpDef
Ability: Clear Body Nature: Impish (+Def, -SpAtk)
Moves: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash, Earthquake, Zen Headbutt

- Garchomp (Choice Scarf) 4HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Ability: Rough Skin Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk)
Moves: Outrage, Dragon Claw, Rock Slide, Earthquake
Revenge Killer

- (Mega)Charizard (Y) (Charizardite Y) 4 HP/252 SpAtk/252 Spe
Ability: Drougth Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
Moves: Fire Blast, Solar Beam, Focus Blast, Dragon Pulse

Any thing to change? any removal? any add?

All EVs a Pokemon has must be divisibly by 4, as a stat increases by 1 every 4 EVs.

Scizor's EVs should be 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef.

Mandibuzz's EVs should be 248 HP/136 Def/108 SDef/16 Spe to outspeed max Speed Mawile and Azumarill.

The raw power of Hydro Pump is preferred over the burn chance of Scald, as Greninja isn't exactly the strongest Pokemon out there. Put Extrasensory somewhere on it, since dealing with Mega Venusaur and Keldeo is important, preferably over Dark Pulse or Hidden Power.

Metagross has fallen out of favor because of the nerfs it received (weaknesses to Dark/Ghost, Meteor Mash weakened). While Aegislash also suffers from the same weaknesses, it has more power than Metagross when it attacks. Another Assault Vest user is Conkeldurr, who benefits greatly from the item, as its weak Special Defense gets patched up:

Aegislash:
-Shadow Ball
-Shadow Sneak/Sacred Sword
-Iron Head/Sacred Sword/Pursuit
-King's Shield
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
Item: Leftovers/Spooky Plate/Spell Tag/Air Balloon

or
-Substitute
-Toxic
-Shadow Ball
-King's Shield
Nature: Modest
EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
Item: Leftovers

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

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

Conkeldurr:
-Drain Punch
-Mach Punch
-Knock Off
-Ice Punch/Stone Edge
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/236 SDef/20 Spe
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Guts

Charizard Y should move the last 4 EVs to either defense, since putting them in HP makes the stat even, making Charizard die to 2 Stealth Rock switch-ins instead of 3.

One other little thing: Garchomp's nature should be Jolly instead of Adamant, so it gets the most out of its base 102 Speed. That Speed is one of the reasons why Garchomp is probably the most popular Dragon out there. Jolly lets it outspeed other Choice Scarf users.

Thx. I may use Conkledurr cause with Scizor I have enough steel-types. And Guts instead of Iron Fist?

Thx 2u too. I was thinking to put Ditto Choice Scarf instead of Garchomp. What do you think?

Where I can find that guide?
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/force-of-nature-an-in-depth-guide-to-zard-y.3501476/

I've read it quite a while back. It's very informative and also covers some of the stuff rampant in XY OU.
