Help my team!

[sevXone]

Hello!

I am new to Pokemon. Recently beat Pokemon Y and have gotten into breeding 5IV perfect Pokemon and EV training them, i want a good competitive team.

So far, this is what i have manged to get:

Milotic
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spe
Nature: Bold
Moves:
- Scald
- Recover
- Ice Beam
- Mirror Coat

I use Milotic as a scout to see they will throw at me, and it's my Defense tank. Can also use it to stall with recover and leftovers.

Ferrothorn
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpD
Nature: Relaxed
Moves:
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball

I use Ferrothorn as my Special Defense tank but also as a pokemon that setup's hazards. I can also use him to stall with Leech Seed and Leftovers, he is pretty hard to kill unless they use a Fire attack.

Greninja
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 Def
Nature: Timid
Moves:
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Dark Pulse
- U-turn

I use Greninja as a Special Attacker and he can usually 1shot Pokemon that are weak to his types and have low SpD.

Dragonite
Item: Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SpD/252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Punch
- Extreme Speed

I want to use Dragonite as my Attack Sweeper with Multiscale+Weakness Policy but not once have i been able to set that up so far.

Heracross(Mega)
Item: Heracronite
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
- Close Combat
- Megahorn
- Stone Edge
- Bullet Seed

I use Heracross Mega for Skill Link(Bullet Seed) and as my Fighting Type Pokemon, he seems to work pretty well for me.

Rotom-W
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
Nature: Timid
Moves:
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt

I just threw Rotom-W in the mix thinking i could use Electric and Ghost type coverage, both of which he can provide, but so far he has not really been working out that well and has just been dying.

Conclusion:
So far what i have noticed is that Dragonite and Rotom-W are a bit "useless" in my team, and it also feel's like i lack to much type coverage and have to many weaknesses. I also seem to struggle a lot against tanks, like today i ran into a Dusclops and he was just a massive wall, kept spamming Rest and there was nothing i could do to kill it.

Any tips on how to improve my team or any completely new team suggestions are welcome, i am willing to breed anything!

Descriptions simply are not long enough, sorry bud.

Putting Trick on Rotom over Shadow Ball shuts down any walls, except Mega Venusaur. Tricking a Choice Scarf to a wall not only really shuts it down for the rest of the match, it makes excellenet set up fodder if your opponent is stupid.

Milotic is an awful lead. It has no real way of gaining monentum, unless you are hoping for a Scald burn or freeze hax, or just mirror coat nonsense. Honestly, a lead is supposed to set the momentum for the game, by providing a sort of service for the team to set it on its road to victory. Okay, Milotic is a wall. Great, it shuts down special attacks. Except most people dont go on offense straight out in the first few turns, its mainly about setting hazards or using U Turn/Volt Switch leads. You in fact have a great lead in Rotom W, which can Volt Switch the oppposition to get a more favorable matchup. Milotic cant really do anything as a lead. You arent doing any favors to yourself by letting your opponent set up all his hazards, which you cant spin or defog away. Which also means Dragonites Multiscale can kiss itself goodbye, and makes it Weakness Policy alot riskier.



If you ever want a WiFi battle, HMU. Im nearly done breeding my own team as well.
