I am not new to the competitive scene and have played on Smogon's servers for a long time. But never before have I actually played competitively on anything but a simulator. So for the first time I have to EV train my Pokemon, and search for perfect IVs. Because of that I thought I should focus on one major team right now, and on perfecting it. So that I don't have to waste to much time EV training and breeding. Here is my current team layout that I am working towards. Feel free to critize or try to improve.
Greninja (Life Orb) 4HP/252Speed/252Sp.Atk
Ability: Protean
Nature: Timid
Moveset: Surf, Ice Beam, Dark Pulse, Extrasensory
MegaAlakazam (Alakazamite) 4HP/252Speed/252Sp.Atk
Ability: Trace
Nature: Timid
Moveset: Dazzling Gleam, Psychic, Energy Ball, Shadow Ball

Shuckle (Leftovers) 4HP/252Def/252Sp.Def
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Careful
Moveset: Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, Encore, Toxic

Greninja (Life Orb) 4HP/252Speed/252Sp.Atk
Ability: Protean
Nature: Timid
Moveset: Surf, Ice Beam, Dark Pulse, Extrasensory
Spoiler:
A very simple set. The point is to sweep anything and everything, and with Protean all 4 moves become stabs. Life Orb only puts more salt in the wounds of any foe.

MegaAlakazam (Alakazamite) 4HP/252Speed/252Sp.Atk
Ability: Trace
Nature: Timid
Moveset: Dazzling Gleam, Psychic, Energy Ball, Shadow Ball
Spoiler:
On wifi a lot of fast Pokemon such as Blaziken and MegaGengar have been annoying me to hell and back. Half of the time they sweep me or I survive just by a handstring. So I have decided to get my own annoying fast Pokemon. With 150 estimated base speed, and a Timid nature, not much is going to outspeed this bad boy. His stab psychic kills two of my biggest threats, and for that reason he is on my team as my Mega. Trace can also be very helpful, for example stealing Speed Boost from Blaziken is hilarious.

Shuckle (Leftovers) 4HP/252Def/252Sp.Def
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Careful
Moveset: Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, Encore, Toxic
Spoiler:
I know he is set up bait, but I really need a mon that can learn Sticky Web+Stealth Rock and there aren't many due to current knowledge. I don't like Smeargle as an option, so I went with Shuckle. The plan here is to get Sticky Web and Stealth Rock up, and then die. Not much else to do.

Donphan (Leftovers) 252HP/4Atk/252Def
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Impish
Moveset: Ice Shard, Rapid Spin, Earthquake, Roar
Spoiler:
He is here to Rapid Spin away any hazards, as my team can be hindered by any and all hazards quite a lot. I was considering Hitmontop (Intimidate is always nice, especially after it's buff in X/Y) but I chose Donphan. Mainly because Fighting types are much less diserable to me in Gen 6 after Fairy types being introduced. And Grounds are only getting better with Poison and Steel being more common. Quite the standard set, except for Roar, which I feel is a must in certain situations.

Scizor (Choice Band) 248HP/252Atk/8Sp.Def
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
Moveset: U-Turn, Bullet Punch, Pursuit, Superpower

Scizor (Choice Band) 248HP/252Atk/8Sp.Def
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
Moveset: U-Turn, Bullet Punch, Pursuit, Superpower
Spoiler:
I figured I needed a strong physical-mon with priority. The first thing I thought of was Scizor. He scares out a lot of Alakazam's threats (glass canon scarfers) and adds a lot of team synergy.

Chandelure (Choice Specs) 4HP/252Sp.Atk/252Speed
Ability: Shadow Tag
Nature: Modest
Moveset: Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball, Will-O-Wisp

Chandelure (Choice Specs) 4HP/252Sp.Atk/252Speed
Ability: Shadow Tag
Nature: Modest
Moveset: Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball, Will-O-Wisp
Spoiler:
Because of Scizor's glaring weakness to Fire I thought I needed a Flash Fire-mon and found Chandelure. But when I realized I could have Shadow Tag, it was too good to pass up. This set focuses on trapping enemies and killing them to the best way possible. My team in general is already fast enough from Greninja+Alakazam to priority moves so I figured Choice Specs and Modest nature would benefit more then Scarf on Chandelure. Likes to trap all sorts of threats and either cripple them or wipe them off the face of the planet. Chose Flamethrower over Fire Blast for accuracy reasons. I almost always miss those moves (even moves like Leech Seed) so I am not taking the chances.
