About to take this team to the competitive games

I made this team on Pokemon Showdown and was considering trying to remake it my Pokemon Y. So far they're all level 1 fresh out the eggs. I wanted to know where I could be heading with this if I stuck to it.

Metagross @ Expert Belt
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Earthquake
- Zen Headbutt
- Power-Up Punch

Metagross I figured could take some hits and hit hard at the same time. I figured he'd be pretty good to toss in at any time in battle.

Charizard @ Charizardite X
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Brick Break
- Dragon Claw
- Flare Blitz
- Dragon Dance

I know I don't need a Mega pokemon, but I figured those will become useful. Charizard Y has more Special Attack, but I was going for an all out attacker being before I had a Garchomp and Salamence that could sweep pretty well. Only thing I think will be a problem is fairies.

Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Brick Break

I've used Scizor a lot. Never failed me on any team I put him on. He can take hits as well and is pretty fast. Only thing I didn't like was I could be missing out on Bug Bite, but Pursuit seems just a qualified.

Crobat @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Cross Poison
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Taunt

Like Scizor, Crobats are always on my teams. Fast and pretty powerful so I figured why not since I already had a nice Crobat as well on my team I could breed into a even better one.

Vaporeon @ Shell Bell
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 68 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk / 184 SDef
Bold Nature
IVs: 30 SAtk / 30 SDef
- Scald
- Protect
- Ice Beam
- Wish

While Vaporeon can't dish it out all the time, I definitely could use the stall in battle. It's helped out before on many occasions.

Ursaring @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Facade
- Protect
- Close Combat
- Aerial Ace

I did want to put a Torterra here, but since Poke Bank isn't out yet, I decided to go along with Ursaring. I figure he could hold his own against most pokemon and the Guts could really come in handy if I play my cards right.


Overall I just want to know if this is good or not. I don't have any hazards but I don't think that'd be too big a deal. Also I want to toss in a Torterra once poke bank does come out, so where should I put him in if so or if I should just keep what I got. Not totally OU, but with a couple test runs they prove solid against a couple OU teams.
 
Rule 3 said:
Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it. The standard description length required is three to four lines, if you need more insight look on the detail part, check out the RMT Archive.

Your descriptions need to be improved to follow that rule. PM me your updated descriptions and I'll unlock your thread.
