    I'm trying to figure out moves for a fantasy character of mine. I've been trying out different moves and movesets on Netbattle, but quite frankly, I think I'm confusing myself. Anyways, if you have some suggestions, please state them. I am NOT changing Pokemon, only moves, natures, and EVs. Thank you.

    Flygon (M) @ Leftovers ** Wrath
    Trait: Levitate
    EVs: 252 Atk, 252 SAtk, 6 Spd
    Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
    -Dragon Claw
    -Earthquake
    -Rock Slide
    -Quick Attack

    Dragon Claw stays, end of story. That attack is vital to a character's development. But other than that, I'd like to make this as good as possible.

    Salamence (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Intimidate
    EVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    -Dragon Claw
    -Hydro Pump
    -Fire Blast
    -Crunch

    Ninetales (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Flash Fire
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 SDef, 6 Spd
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    -Flamethrower
    -Hidden Power (Grass)
    -Protect
    -Will-O-Wisp

    This is the one I have trouble with. I have NO idea how to work EVs with Ninetales. EVs happen to be my weakness, so I'll never suggest them, either.

    Metagross @ Leftovers
    Trait: Clear Body
    EVs: 174 Atk, 84 HP, 84 Def, 84 Spd, 84 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    -Brick Break
    -Earthquake
    -Meteor Mash
    -Shadow Ball

    What is this obsession with blowing things up? People hate Destiny Bond, but love Explosion. I just don't get it.

    Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers ** Indignation
    Trait: Sand Stream
    EVs: 252 HP, 138 Def, 120 Atk
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    -Aerial Ace
    -Dragon Dance
    -Earthquake
    -Rock Slide

    Milotic (M) @ Leftovers ** Eloquence
    Trait: Marvel Scale
    EVs: 252 HP, 104 Def, 90 SDef, 46 Spd, 18 SAtk
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    -Ice Beam
    -Rest
    -Sleep Talk
    -Surf



    Despite obvious weaknesses, this team holds up pretty well. Just adjust the EVs, Natures, and moves to your liking.
     
    Flygon[+Sp,-SpDef]@choice band/leftovers
    EVs - 140 Sp,252 Att,rest in SpAtt and hp
    quick attack/fire blast/HP grass
    dragon claw
    earthquake
    rockslide

    I like choice band.And nothing resists both FB and DC.

    I presume u want a special based sala...so

    Ninetales[calm]@leftovers/salac
    EVs - 150 Sp,160SpDef, rest in hp and SpAtt
    will-o-wisp
    fireblast
    HP grass/substitute

    Metagross[adamant]@choice band
    EVs - 160 Def,enough att and hp,maybe a tiny bit of speed


    Tyranitar[adamant]@leftovers
    EVs - 252 Sp,252 Att,6 hp
    taunt
    earthquake
    rockslide
    dragon dance

    Heh, only 6 speed EVs?? Anyway, Fire Blast and Hidden Power Bug are options over Quick Attack; Fire Blast to damage Skarm obiviously, and hp bug to hurt things like Celebi and Claydol.

    Salamence (M) @ Leftovers

    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    -Dragon Claw
    -Hydro Pump
    -Fire Blast
    -Crunch

    I prefer Brick Brake on my special mence over crunch.... even though it does like 35% damage to bliss only, but lures out Skarm and others, then you can OHKO them. What would crunch do anyway? OHKO Starmie on the switch?

    Ninetales (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Flash Fire
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 SDef, 6 Spd
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    -Flamethrower
    -Hidden Power (Grass)
    -Protect
    -Will-O-Wisp

    This is the one I have trouble with. I have NO idea how to work EVs with Ninetales. EVs happen to be my weakness, so I'll never suggest them, either.

    Well, I've never used Ninetales before, so I can't really help you with the EVs, but I'm sure they're not right... Hypnosis or Grudge might work instead of Protect. Your team kinda has a Suicune problem anyway, so Grudging a Suicune Surf might be useful imo.

    Metagross @ Leftovers
    Trait: Clear Body
    EVs: 174 Atk, 84 HP, 84 Def, 84 Spd, 84 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    -Brick Break
    -Earthquake
    -Meteor Mash
    -Shadow Ball

    What is this obsession with blowing things up? People hate Destiny Bond, but love Explosion. I just don't get it.

    No, it doesn't need any sp.def EVs. Give it a Choice Band, and if you don't like Explosion, then go with Rock Slide and Sludge Bomb over Brick Brake and Shadow Ball. And maybe max out attack.

    Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers ** Indignation
    Trait: Sand Stream
    EVs: 252 HP, 138 Def, 120 Atk
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    -Aerial Ace
    -Dragon Dance
    -Earthquake
    -Rock Slide

    You know, it does get hp flying... anyway, Taunt > AA. He will need around 168 speed EVs to outspeed CBmence after 1 Dragon Dance. You should only go with 252 hp, if you use the Substitute version of DDtar. Then go with less speed and more attack. Btw, those defense EVs are pointless on him, imo.

    Milotic (M) @ Leftovers ** Eloquence
    Trait: Marvel Scale
    EVs: 252 HP, 104 Def, 90 SDef, 46 Spd, 18 SAtk
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    -Ice Beam
    -Rest
    -Sleep Talk
    -Surf

    Looks ok, though I prefer 196 hp, 252 def, 4 spd and 56 sp.attack. It should have a Bold nature.

    Despite obvious weaknesses, this team holds up pretty well. Just adjust the EVs, Natures, and moves to your liking.
    Well, your team has some serious Suicune problems, but other than that, it looks fine I guess. Anyway, good luck.
