Eelektross Team

Ok, Straight to the point, I'm completely new to competitive Pokemon. I stumbled across Pokemon Showdown a couple weeks ago. I was mainly playing the random battles and 1v1, but I decided to start on the competitive play. I started looking at the Tier lists and decided to play in NU because it contains alot of Pokes I like. I've tested the team for a couple of days now, Its doing OK, but has a hard time against Bulky waters and Psychics so I've tried to change it for more balance. Please help.



Golem @ Custap Berry
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Rock Blast
- Explosion

I chose Golem because he can set up rocks and I needed a Rock counter, as the team originally contained Charizard and Atricuno. He's usually my opening choice, unless I see an opening for Eelektross. Rocks and E-quake for obvious reasons. Rock blast to deal with Flying-Types and Explosion and Cutsup Berry in case I'm about to get K.O'd.



Eelektross @ Expert Belt
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature
- U-turn
- ThunderPunch
- Drain Punch
- Aqua Tail

Eelektross is the main Poke on the team. The move pool is standard from what I've seen. I'm still debating of EV's, I don't see a point in putting too many on Speed, because base 50 seems pretty low, however I do put 8 just to outspeed other base 50's.



Kadabra @ Choice Specs
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Kadabra was a Charizard at first, but the team didn't seem to need much fire support, and I kept running into Bulky waters and psychics, so I put Kadabra there as my special sweeper. Psychic being its STAB, Shadow Ball and Energy Ball for coverage. And just to keep a fire attack on the team, HP Fire.



Audino @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Wish
- Heal Bell
- Protect
- Double-Edge

Audino is self explanatory, Its my Cleric, I was debating between this and Alomola, and chose this due to Wartortle being a bulky water type.



Wartortle @ Eviolite
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 248 HP / 172 Def / 88 SDef
Bold Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Haze

My Spinner for the team. Also my bait to draw out another poke for Eelektross to Sweep. I chose Ice Beam over Foresight because I needed an Ice attack after dropping Articuno for Carnivine.



Carnivine (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Power Whip
- Toxic

Carnivine is the newest member, Articuno wasn't cutting it as it was decimated by Rocks and became useless fighting a water type. So I picked Carnivine to give my team more coverage, and with levitate it can dodge E-quakes aimed at Eelektross.



So that's the team. Open to any suggestions. Please give feedback.
 
Before this gets locked you need you have your descriptions 3+ lines. Also Carnivine is terrible in NU, like he is actually bottom-rank. If you want to use a Pokemon of that type use Tangela, Vileplume (he even has recovery over Power Whip!), Meganium... actually almost every other grass type.
 
1. You need 3 lines of information for every pokemon.
2. You have no need for Carnivine, as nobody is aiming earthquakes at Eelektross (Who also has levitate)
3. Audino does not want double edge.
4. Wartortle should replace either Ice Beam or Haze with toxic as your stall wall.
