[RMT]First Team, look for critique

Hey all, after getting some battling experience, read a lot of guides and look around i tried to asemble a team on my own, i look for critique to improve my teambuilding skill.
I'm playing on x, so this is i arent using any legendary from other gens, since i founded difficult trade for one of them.

The pokemon that i really wanted to use was M-Mawile, this little Train of doom is among my favourite pokemons, so i decided to pair him with a Dragon type, since a fairy and a dragon cover their weakness fairly well, then i added a FWG core since is a solid core and work fairly well on its own, for the last spot i was relly uncertain, so i added a spinner for general use

Mawile @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Sucker Punch
- Swords Dance
- Fire Fang

Nothing to say about his set, its fairly standard, coverage+SD, from the games i have already played i can see that is really a powerhouse, he never disappointed me.

Goodra @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower
- Sludge Bomb

Assault vest goodra, a bulky special attacker that can enter on a lot of trheat of the reast of the team and retaliate back, i was also thinking to try noivern in his place

Rotom-Wash @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch

Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Def
Impish Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Stealth Rock

my trusty lead, great wall and rock setter, when attacked i can almost hear other players scream at their pokemon "stop hitting yourself!", it form a great and stable couple with rotom-w

Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Swords Dance

The F in the FWG, he has done his job fairly good until now, but i'm not that much sold on this one, open to suggestion, what do you think about chandelure?

excadrill.gif


Excadrill @ Air Balloon
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance

The last spost goes to Excadrill, i wasnt really sure how to fill this spot, so since a was lacking a spinner i putted him, he has yet to shine since he hitted the field so few times, but i can say that when he entered the fray i was happy to have a mold breaker attacker

Sorry for my poor english, this is my first team i put togheter, i tested it on showdown and gived me good results, but i can see that my opponent werent that great and have done some mistakes, so these results may be altered.
 
Hm... you have except of talonflame no real Flying type, which can get problematic with Mega mawile and switch in's.
You should also get someone who can roar or whirlwind the enemy, so that an Scizor or an CM user won't kill your whole team in a one-shot.

I don't really like Talonflame, since so many players try to counter it hard... but still, it's a solid choice, and works well with mawile, since it resists Fire and is immune to ground.

Goodra seems a bit fragile, but looks like a good Special tank. I'd prefere felinara, but you already got mawile against dragons. (But becarefull, most dragons can use earthquake!)

Which Pokemon are the most troublesome to fight with your team? Which pokemon do you really want stay in your team? We could help better if we knew that, otherwise we'd just unnecessary destory teams, and recommend some which you're uncomfortable with.
 
thanks for the reply, over there the one i really want to stay is mawile, i like all of them to diffetent extent, but mawile is i ndeed my favourite one
right now on my test on showdown i didnt find any menace i couldnt manage, but i just started to use showdown, so i played only against low rating people.
my thoughts on talonflame was exactly the same as yours.
