The King has Arrived
All right guys, take it easy. I just recently got into competitive pokemon play. I'm subscribed to the big Poke-YouTubers and have been reading a lot of RMT's for the past couple of months. This is my first team, other than really basic, standard weather teams. Have fun but please suggest anything that can potentialy help me!
P.S. I don't know how to make my post look very fancy, but I'll try my best ;)
The Team!

I went with Rotom-W just to help provide coverage to support Nidoking. Volt Swith is good for scouting/rain teams. Hydro Pump for Heatran. Pain Split for "healing". The fourth move Ive been jumping around on, I can' decide exactly what I want. Could use some help here. EV's are there to hit hard and to hopefully live hits.

Nidoking really shines with his DW ability Sheer Force. His great move pool and decent Special Attack stats combined with his ability and the non recoiling of Life Orb were the inspiration for this team. BoltBeam for its coverage. Flamthrower for Abomasnow and Ferrothorns and steel poks. Focus blast for additional coverage. EV's to max out his Special Attack and Speed to hopefully OHKO/outspeed poke's.

Here's a poke Im not really satisfied with. He sometimes works when at other times I get wrecked. I just feel as if he's a back up Nidoking, but without the power. If someone could point me in the direction of a better set, or a pokemon to replace him, that'd be great.

Goodness gracious, how I love this Dragonite set. Dragon Dance for set up. Dragon Claw for STAB (I don't like Outrage). ExtremeSpeed for priority. Fire Punch for steels. I really like this set as I feel like I can sweep at any moment. After 1-2 Dragon Dance's I've just punched holes in enemies' teams. Leftovers over Lum Berry/Choice Band just because I like to have his ability more often.

Scizor on this team is the same as any other team, a revenge killer. EV's are fairly standard. Bullet Punch for STAB, prio, etc. U-Turn for scouting. Superpower for wrecking TTar. Pursuit for coverage.

I honestly think I just copy and pasted this set from the Smogon website analysis. It seems to work fairly well, Spikes and Thunder Wave are really important in helping this team. Nidoking likes it when the oponent gets parahax/hit by entry hazards.
Well, thats my team in a nutshell. I understand that it probably has glaring weaknesses to some veteran players, but I feel like it has done good enough for me, but I am willing to take any advice. And if you've read this far, gumdrops, Elmo, pumpernickel!
