hello, im a complete n00b at this but hey id like to take a first step, anyway these are the pokes id like to use for my first (real) team:

Salamence
Snorlax
Electivire
Tyranitar
Milotic
Lucario

movesets and reccomendations are greatly encouraged thanks.
 
You lack a Physical wall in that group. Snorlax and Milotic are both descent Special walls though.
 
Lots of things can be Physical walls. Hippowdon, Rhyperior, Torterra, Steelix, Forretress, Swampert, Skarmory, Gliscor. Some of those might be tanks but they serve the same purpose.
 
Tangrowth is my favourite Physical Wall. And your team needs something to stop Tyranitar anyway.

I run;
Tangrowth @ Leftovers
252 HP / 228 Def / 28 Spe
Impish
- Knock Off
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Stun Spore

Hmm... I think i'll give Steelix a shot and leave snorlax behind. So now the team is:
Salamence
Steelix
Milotic
Electivire
Lucario
Tyranitar

Now lucario seems compromised... what could I switch him for?

Why does it? Lucario and Steelix serve completely different purposes.
 
That does not make any sense- you can have more than one Pokémon of a type in your team, not to mention Steel/Ground and Steel/Fighting are quite different in most aspects. And don't forget Pokémon is a team-playing game.
They share a Fire weakness? Milotic got that covered. Ground? Salamence's immune.

People who are new to competitive battling often think 'switching is for noobs', when switching is the spirit of Pokémon.
 
I saw your Tangrowth set. Stun Spore's for noobs. Tickle's where it's at :P
 
Ah, I was being serious, too!

My team has Vileplume for Stun Support, and sp.attackers aren't he only thing that switches into Tangrowth. Sweepers like Mence loves to come in, with their Fire blast. Still, there offense is the main attraction. They wouldn't like getting softened, making a very easy switch-in for teammates.
 
Not as good as Plume, but it is awesome.
 
What would be a good moveset for... a mixed-sweeping Lucario?
 
im starting to ev train a machamp and i was wondering if u can help me choose:
what nature?
"guts" or "no guard"
252 Att and 252 Spd (was wondering if this spread his good)
and moves: rest, sleep talk, ice punch, dynamitpunch/cross chop
tnx
 
Sorry dude, that's a horrible EV spread for a Rest-Talker. Not bulky enough to utilize Rest-Talk. I use the following set:

Machamp @ Leftovers
Adamant
No Guard
252 HP, 36 Att, 216 Def, 6 Spe
Dynamicpunch
Ice Punch
Rest
Sleep Talk

Even with this set, you can OHKO (or at least come close to) things like Snorlax, Blissey, etc... This survives and counters TTar much more effectively.
 
thanks king tyranitar actually i took the idea for a machamp form seeing in the battle log the battle of u and dark azlef
