My first team

Hello, this is my first team, as I've never thought of one because I never played competitively in any pokemon game. Now that the 3DS doesn't restrict you to one type of Wi Fi setup, I can participate online.
Here's my team:
Lucario @ Assault Vest
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 128 Atk / 128 SAtk
Naive Nature
- Focus Blast
- Close Combat
- Earthquake/Stone Edge
- Flash Cannon
I chose Lucario because it is an average speed sweeper with good SpAtt and Att. I went mixed because I couldn't decide to be special or physical. Focus Blast and Close Combat are very good moves, and since Lucario is mixed I'm running both. Focus Blast and Close Combat are both staples, and Earthquake/Stone Edge is there to do more damage. And finally, Flash Cannon to take advantage of the Steel STAB.

Mawile-Mega @ Mawilite
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Foul Play
- Stone Edge
- Iron Head
Mawile is the Fairy bit of the team, and when Mega Evolved it can be, in my opinion, a dangerous threat. It, when Mega Evolved, has a good Attack, and when combined with Huge Power, makes it's Attack even higher, hence the Bulky Attacker spread. Play Rough is obviously on there, as a physical Fairy attack. Foul Play is a more coverage type move, covering Ghost types. Stone Edge is also there, just because of it's high critical hit ratio and power, and finally Iron Head, there because of Steel STAB.

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 232 HP / 24 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Drill Peck
- Steel Wing
- Roost
Skarmory is yet another Steel type, as I really love defense, and flying is also very useful. The leftovers help regain HP, Sturdy means a final move, and I have a Bulky Attacker spread again for most of my attacks are physical. Brave Bird is when I just NEED the extra power, and Drill Peck is for normal attacking. Steel Wing is to, yet again, get a Steel STAB. Roost, finally, is to heal Skarmory up. It ight be a gamble, but it still heals.

Kingdra @ Damp Rock
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Rain Dance
- Dragon Pulse
- Blizzard
Kingdra is the Water-type of the team, providing a coverage on fire, rock and ground types. I can easily switch it in to a Pokemon that is dangerous to my other Pokemon. Rain Dance is a staple, which takes advantage of the Swift Swim boost. Hydro Pump is the best water attack out there, Dragon Pulse for STAB, and Blizzard to take care of grass types.

Rotom-Heat @ Passho Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Thunder
- Sunny Day
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Grass]
Rotom-H is the only Fire-Electric type I could find, and I really needed the two types, so this was a logical choice. The Passho berry lets it take a hit from a Water attack and strike back with a deadly Thunder. Overheat is the only Fire-type move, so I need it. Sunny Day is to provide a Fire-type Boost, and a Hidden Power Grass to provide coverage.

Scizor @ Muscle Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Fury Cutter
- Iron Head
- Brick Break
The famous Scizor is here, and a Muscle band lets him hit harder. Technician is obvious, and an Attacking spread makes sense. Bullet Punch is a staple, Fury Cutter to match, with XY, Iron Head, a slower but stronger Bullet Punch, and Brick Break, a weaker Superpower.
