First Competitive RMT.

Sup everyone I've been playing competitively since gen 4 but never made a RMT so here's one. Any help and constructive criticism is highly welcomed.​

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 88 HP / 248 Att / 4 Def / 168 Spe
- Taunt
- Bounce
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance

Standard Gyarados set. I usually use him as my lead since I lack a mon with rocks. I'm really liking Taunt especially if I can set a Dance up. Also Taunt pretty much wrecks Aegislash who I've seen on almost live every team. Waterfall and Bounce for the dual stab. The bulk on this set also can live a +2 Brave Bird from Talonflame and is able to OHKO it with a Waterfall.

Aegislash @ Life Orb
Ability: Stance Change
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Att / 240 SpA
- King's Shied
- Shadow Ball
- Shadow Sneak
- Sacred Sword

We got the #OUMeta mon jk. But I like this set way more than the Standard SD set it can play tricks on people. Usually when they see the Shadow Ball they won't expect the King's Shield. I opted to run Shadow Sneak over Shadow Claw because I decided I wanted priority over BP. Also it really help revenge kill low HP mons. Life Orb over Leftovers because Shadow Ball does insane amounts of damage to pretty much everything minus special walls. The 16 attacks EVs are just to give Sacred Sword and Shadow Sneak a little boosted power.

Hydregion @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- U-Turn
- Dark Pulse
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast

Here we got the special sweeper of my team. Specs Hydregion is a monster plain and simple it can just tear holes in mons. U-Turn is for scouting/hit and run tactics. I'm running Fire Blast over Flash Cannon for now although that could possibly change. Along with Aegislash they make a nice little core covering each others weaknesses pretty well.

Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Adaptability
Nature: Jolly
Evs: 252 Att / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
- Ice Punch

The mega for my team. I'm really liking Mega Lucario because Adaptability is an amazing ability for him. Bullet Punch is over Extremespeed to deal with pesky Fairy types and gets boosted by Adaptability and stab. Adaptability boosted CC pretty much eats teams up which is insane. For the last slot it was either between Crunch or Ice Punch for me but I went with Ice Punch to mainly hit dragons.

Trevenant @ Lum Berry
Ability: Harvest
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP / 80 SpD / 176 Spe
- Rest
- Leech Seed
- Horn Leech
- Will-o-Wisp

Ok, this is probably my favorite Gen 6 Pokemon. This zombie tree is my status eater/giver. I can stall for days with this thing. The Lum Berry Harvest is hilarious when people try to inflict status they just rage when I heal it off. This set helps me counter lead Klefkis, Rotom-W, and slower physical walls. Rest is for stalling purposes. Leech Seed and Horn Leach are my main forms of recovery since I lack Sitrus Berry. Horn Leech hit Rotom Wash for a clean 2 hit KO. The EV spread is mainly for outspeeding slower physical walls like Excadrill then I can cripple them with WoW.

Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
Naute: Bold
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe
- Scald
- Giga Drain
- Rapid Spin
- Knock Off

This is the physical wall and spinner of my team and I kinda really just threw him on here just to have a sixth spot. I'm not running Toxic Spikes mainly because I want to burn their physical attackers to cripple them. Giga Drain is for other bulky waters. Knock Off helps hit recovery items of wall and can hit choice items to drop sweepers attacks. If anything I'd probably swap Cruel out for someone who can set up rocks I'm just not sure on who to replace him with.

Thanks for looking at my team and I hope you guys can help make it better. I do think I need a Stealth Rocker although I'm not sure on who to use. I'm open to cutting pretty much any mon on my team for something to better help the team. I'm liking how Gyarados given the set up can pretty much sweep entire teams. So I'd really like to hear peoples' opinion's on the team so I can better it and keep destroying on Showdown and climb higher on the ladder.
 
Just saying, a garchomp can run right through this team, and the tentacruel isn't doing you any favors, maybe run something else with rapid spin or defog your choice
 
I would have to agree, you would really benefit by having a Starmie at the very least, possibly a bulky variant that could tank a Scarfed chomp hit and fire back with ice beam. Also on your trevenant I think you would do better with him if you took horn leech out for substitute. You already have rest and as such you could have access to a higher number of subs to put up if you let leech seed do its work for you.
