    Hey guys new on the forums and to competitive wi-fi battles and i'm looking for some team help.

    I'm focusing on my special attack and speed ev mega charizard y as my ace. I also know to include my excadrill incase i run into stealth rocks other than that my team is open.

    these are the pokemon i already have ev trained. gliscor, scizor, metagross, azumarill, noivern, dragonite, greninja, gengar, volcarona, tyranitar and umbreon. i'm also working on an arcanine, gyarados, alakazam, swampert, typlosion and empoleon.

    Thanks for the help

    I don't know what the limit is in terms of the number of Pokemon, but Azumarill/Greninja are IMHO the best fits to your team, as they can switch into the Water-type attacks that both Excadrill and Charizard are weak to, with having to worry about other weaknesses (to put it in short, perfect defensive synergy).

    We can give you a further review if you include movesets, abilities, items and intended EV spreads to each of your Pokemon. ATM, looks good so far.

    I'll provide that information as people ask my greninja is 252 speed 252 special attack and the rest in hp move set is scald, ice beam, extrasensory and night slash which i need to switch for a special move like dark pulse. it's protean ability and no item as of yet

    Scald is for bulky Water-types, and your Greninja is not optimized to be bulky, so relying on secondary effects isn't such a good idea. It prefers power so replace Scald with either Surf or Hydro Pump. Because of Special Attack investment, it's not worth running Night Slash because it's a physical attack. Dark Pulse is always the better option over Night Slash in this case.

    OK i'll replace scald with surf as i prefer the higher accuracy over hydro pumps power. should i bother with azumarill as with greninja's ice beam and my charizard's dragon pulse dragon types shouldn't be much of a problem.
