VGC Third Team First RMT

[LapizVGC]

Alright I just want opinions. Thanks in advance.

Milotic @ Rindo Berry
Ability: Competitive
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 236 HP / 12 Def / 252 SpA / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Protect
- Ice Beam
- Recover
This pokemon is just a power house. Miltotic is just in case of Fire Types, Dragons, or Flying. Usually in the back because it's a pokemon that shouldn't be out at the beginning due to it being a clutch powerhouse for me.

Tapu Koko @ Electrium Z
Ability: Electric Surge
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 12 Def / 100 SpA / 60 SpD / 100 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Dazzling Gleam
- Electro Ball
Usually the first one I start out with. Its a fast and powerful pokemon. I can get a good advantage if I'm using Gigavolt, because it gets STAB and is on Electric Terrain. Plus if I get a bad matchup I won't waste a turn switching because I can hit with Volt Switch then switch another pokemon in.

Muk-Alola @ Figy Berry
Ability: Gluttony
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 44 Atk / 204 Def / 4 SpA / 4 SpD
Bashful Nature
- Fire Blast
- Knock Off
- Protect
- Poison Jab
Ever dealing against a pokemon that you just can't seem to have a good matchup against? Well with Muk is my best option. It works best and with the movepool it can deal with most pokemon such as Tapu's and Psychics. Plus Ice and Steel types as well.

Togedemaru @ Focus Sash
Ability: Lightning Rod
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Zing Zap
- Encore
- Spiky Shield
Wait a useful Pikachu clone? Yes. This guy is way better. I switched him with Marowak due to it's advantages over Marowak. Fake Out is obvious. One less pokemon to worry about. Zing Zap is a good move and it has a 30% chance to flinch. Encore is great because you can make a slower pokemon stuck in portect. Spiky Shield is basically protect but instead it can deal damage to the opponent. All in all Togedemaru is an excellent pokemon to have on my team.

Metagross @ Air Balloon
Ability: Clear Body
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Meteor Mash
- Zen Headbutt
- Earthquake
Alright. Metagross. The backup. Protect is well to protect. Meteor Mash is for pokemon weak to Steel or just for any pokemon who is X1 against it as it can maybe raise its attack. Plus it gets STAB. Zen Headbutt has STAB plus it can flinch. If it's on Psychic Terrain it can do even MORE damage. Damn that's a lot. Plus Earthquake because well it's Earthquake. I don't know much to say about that

Ability: Psychic Surge
Level: 50
EVs: 76 HP / 4 Def / 172 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Moonblast
- Protect
- Taunt
Wahoo this pokemon. Psychic is obvious. It gets STAB, chance to lower Sp. Def plus if on Psychic Terrain rip. Plus it has a Z move. If your against this. Well I'll be sure to send flowers. Moonblast is STAB. Plus it can lower the Sp. Atk. Protect is protect. Taunt can be used against pokemon who need setup or are setup pokemon.

Just looking at the team you might want to add a flying type or Pokemon with levitate because Tapu Koko, Muk, and Metagross are all weak to EQ and Togedemaru is x4 weak to ground. With Earthquake on Metagross you are at an even bigger risk of losing to EQ. I see what you are trying to do with Muk but having Fire Blast and a Bashful Nature Isn't good when you could have an Adamant Nature for more Atk and then take the SpA and add that into Spe. The 8 Spe on Milotic move 4 of that to SpD

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-524827675 You need a counter to Clefairy and Eevee that Isn't conflicting

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-524829034 I would give Milotic more Def and Muk more Atk

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-524833056 Get a grass type because with Xurkitree I didnt want to bring Tapu Koko but a grass type would be super efective on Politoed and also while not relevant to this match will help your Match Up vs. Gastrodon

also you said use Milotic in the back but if it is in the front it will do a better job at preventing Intimidate which i dont do because Milotic isn't my favorite pokemon xcept for the gimmicky competetive adrenaline orb set that was used early on in the VGC 2017 meta so i stay away from it
