Need Help with Team Building

[FennekMaster]

Hello, I am new to competitive battling and have managed to build myself an I think decent team. I'm not sure if it is good or bad. What I was going for was a diverse team but turned into a team dedicated to setup Scizor. I am open for suggestions and will likely need them. This is an OU Single Battle Team BTW. I didn't include legendaries because I heard they are banned in some tournaments. Again, I am brand new to competitive battling. Anyways, here is my team.


Frostlass @ Focus Sash
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Spikes
- Destiny Bond
- Ice Beam

I went with Frostlass because it is a good pokemon for Entry Hazards.


Goodra @ Assult Vest
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 240 HP / 252 SpA / 16 Spe
Modest Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Muddy Water

I choose Goodra because it can counter quite alot of pokemon.

Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 248 HP / 44 Atk / 16 Def / 200 SpD
Impish Nature
- Swords Dance
- Roost
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn

Originally added to add coverage for Goodra but the team turned into a dedicated Scizor setup team. AKA He is the star.


Gothitelle @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 80 HP / 176 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Trick
- Rest
- Psychic

Added as a counter to traps and walls.


Klefki @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Fairy Lock
- Foul Play

Added as a setup for Scizor.


Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
- Toxic
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss
- Wish

This team was built with the help of the Smogon's XY Strategy Dex.

You're not giving us much to go on here. You're basically telling us to build a team for you, which isn't really the purpose of team help threads. My suggestion? Provide us a list of Pokemon that you think are interesting and would be willing to use. Additionally, provide us with actual movesets. If you're not sure what sort of set you should run, have a read through Smogon's XY Strategy Dex as it is very helpful, especially for beginners.

Okay, this helps quite a bit and I'm starting to build a team so far. I will edit this to give a full team and move set next time.

Thank you Hermione. Thanks to that link I was able to build a solid team(at least I think it is solid). I am gonna edit the first thing I said on this thread to update this thread with a Moveset and all. Anyways, thank you.
