    I've played through x and I have a froakie with protean so thats a start on my team looked at some of the shops and saw some people who had the first evolution of most of these. I plan to later make some offers to the store owners but was wondering if this team would work good and I have no idea what to have for a sixth pokemon on my team. Planing on playing through y with my competitive team before i start my competitive battling though.

    c. MS: Belch, sludge bomb, Destiny bond, fire blast
    d. 31/31/31/x/31/31​
    2. Charizard (charizardite X)
    a. HA Blaze
    b. Lax
    c. MS: Flare Blitz, Heat Wave, Swords Dance, Focus Blast

    a. HA Stansh change (obviously)
    b. Adamant

    Weezing isn't that good, really. There are better utility Poison Pokemon out there, like Crobat:
    -Brave Bird
    -Defog
    -Roost
    -Taunt/Toxic
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 168 HP/140 Atk/200 Spe
    Item: Black Sludge
    Ability: Infiltrator

    What's the point of Megazard X having Swords Dance if Flare Blitz is the only move that benefits from the Attack boost? Also, Dragon Dance >>>>>>>>> Swords Dance because it gives Charizard a Speed boost in addition to an Attack boost:
    -Dragon Dance
    -Flare Blitz/Fire Punch
    -Dragon Claw/Outrage
    -Earthquake/Roost
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Charizardite X
    Ability: Blaze

    or
    -Dragon Dance
    -Dragon Claw
    -Fire Punch/Earthquake
    -Roost
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 144 HP/244 Atk/120 Spe
    Item: Charizardite X
    Ability: Blaze

    or
    -Fire Punch/Earthquake
    -Dragon Claw
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Roost
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 248 HP/148 SDef/112 Spe
    Item: Charizardite X
    Ability: Blaze

    Aegislash primarily uses Shadow Ball as a Ghost STAB just so it doesn't get crippled by burn:
    -Substitute
    -Toxic
    -Shadow Ball
    -King's Shield
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 244 HP/252 SAtk/12 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Shadow Ball
    -Sacred Sword
    -Iron Head/Shadow Sneak/Pursuit
    -King's Shield
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 244 HP/252 SAtk/12 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

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

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

    or
    -Autotomize
    -Shadow Ball
    -Hidden Power (Ice)
    -Sacred Sword/Iron Head/Flash Cannon
    Nature: Rash/Modest
    EVs: 124 Atk/252 SAtk/132 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Weakness Policy

    Tyrantrum is severely outclassed in OU because Tyranitar does what it can do better. If you don't mind the passive damage that Tyranitar's Sand Stream brings, give it a shot:
    -Crunch
    -Stone Edge/Ice Beam
    -Earthquake
    -Stealth Rock/Fire Blast
    Nature: Impish/Relaxed
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Sand Stream

    Greninja is too frail to use Swagger. Water Shuriken is laughably weak, given that it runs off of Greninja's lower offensive stat. That, and Greninja is fast enough that it doesn't need priority to function. Blizzard is horribly inaccurate outside of hail:
    -Hydro Pump
    -Ice Beam
    -Extrasensory
    -Dark Pulse/Hidden Power (Grass/Fire)/Spikes
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash
    Ability: Protean

    Thanks I'm gonna take your advice any suggestions for the sixth person on my team I'm kinda stuck on what type to use i've tried covering most of the types with some of the movesets to exploit some weaknesses with most of my team.
     
    You could probably use another Pokemon with special attacks, see how 4/5 of your Pokémon are physically based (well, Aegislash is mixed but whatever). But who to use....


    eh, Goodra, until I can think of other things:


    -Goodra w/Assault Vest
    Nature: Modest/Mild
    Ability: Sap Sipper/Gooey
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp.Attack, 4 Sp.Defense
    Moves: Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast/Earthquake, Fire Blast, Thunderbolt/Sludge Bomb


    And poor Tyrantrum. Maybe once it gets Rock head it won't suck so hard competitively....IF Game Freak releases Rock Head for it.
