Uh...is this supposed to be a competitive team or an in-game team? Probably in-game because your Pokemon are in no way fit for competitive battles.

(now that i look at it is snorlax supposed too have higher def than SP def?)

No, Snorlax generally has much higher Sp. Def than Def.

your team is not at a point where we can critique it. Plan you're movesets, EV's, and natures and then post it as a thread.

 

[L1AM12]

IM NOOB!

this is what i need... competitive.. im noob so could you guys help me?

Well, there's a lot to cover since you're basically starting from point 0.
Let's see...

*Your Natures are horrible
*Your moves are horrible
*You don't have any items
*You don't have any EVs (you probably don't even know what EVs are)

Click HERE to learn what EVs are and how to EV train your Pokemon.

Click HERE for more information about moves, effects, etc. that are important in competitive battles.

Finally, click HERE to find a list of all the Pokemon and what movesets/items/natures/EVs you should give each one.

Learning to battle and build a team takes a LOT of work so you have a LOT to learn.

New thoughts

ok i have been reading the links you posted... and im think im a offensive player...

I have a question.
So if i have a offensive team am i supposed to have a wall at all? or just have the set-up pokemon and just use sweepers?

I have a skarmory with stealth rock and spikes. could that be a good set-up pokemon for a pysical sweeper party?

I was looking at alakazam and i have one of my own lvl 100 (probably too late but it has like 303 Sp atk and 300 speed) gentle nature and likes too run) so im guessing im going to have to get a nature that helps his Sp atk or speed?

No, offensive teams should just have sweepers. So a Skarmory doesn't belong on an offensive team.

so im guessing im going to have to get a nature that helps his Sp atk or speed?

That's right. Use Smogon as your guide for what natures to give Pokemon. But I wouldn't use Alakazam. Beginners like you should stick to OU Pokemon, so only use Pokemon on THIS LIST.

Hope you've learned about EVs too, as they are super important.

[L1AM12]

thanks

OK i will tell you what i come up with when i think i have finished

 

[2sly4u]

Just to add on, it's very helpful to get through the game with an in-game team, and then start from scratch and build a new team if you don't want to cheat. from battling in-game trainers, most EVs get screwed up. So play through with whoever you want, and then get a whole new team for in-game.

 

[L1AM12]

yeah thats not in game... and do i just fight the elite 4 a bunch of times too lvl them up and EV train them???

And this is what i have so far trying too breed a meta gross with adament and the likes to fight statictic or one of the 1 that raises your attack and try ing too get a scizor with either adament or jolly and a charecteristic that raise its atk or speed... and im still looking at the pokemon list for OU or what ever he said i should b in since im new.

LOL i have about 5 beldum eggs running around so they will hatch might aswell do 5 then 1 right?

ok i have another question... is there a way too predict your eggs nature or should i just keep making eggs till i get the nature i want?

 

[aragornbird]

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well technically, there's RNG abuse which let's you get guaranteed shiny Pokemon with perfect IVs and the best nature.

But you're not ready for that yet, so just do it the old fashioned way by attaching an Everstone to a Ditto with the nature you want so that the Ditto will have a 50% chance of passing down the same nature to your offspring.

im looking for a good physical rapid spinner... i had starmie and then realized its not a physical pokemon

so if you have any suggestions or comments please do tell

 

[Amore]

You should use Starmie. Skarmory walls your entire team, imo.

You need more variation.

You have:

6 physical sweepers
No real way of complimenting eachother (what counters Scizor?)
No way to stop top threats such as Gyarados, Scizor, Heatran, enemy Machamp and Metagross......in fact, the only things you can kill are Gengar, Starmie and Dragonite. All with Weavile.

You're also missing EV spreads from these, so we can't tell if you're even going in the right direction with those pokemon.....

Aerodactyl has 2 Stealth Rocks. Not good. Go for: Stealth Rock/Earthquake/Stone Edge/Taunt.

 

[L1AM12]

sorry that was a typo i meant too put stone edge
