And finally... I'm not sure what to have as the sixth. I was thinking a Gardevoir. Or a psychic type. Not sure how to approach it. I would greatly appreciate item suggestions, moveset suggestions, EV's, other pokemon entirely, anything. Tear my team apart and don't hold back.
 
Hi FraniTheGalvantula!
Welcome to Smogon! Please remember to read the rules before posting an RMT. You need a three sentence minimum description of each Pokemon's role in your team. Thank you!
 
Don't take this the wrong way but your team will need a lot of work. Most glaring is that 3 of your 5 listed pokemon are weak to flying and another 3 to fire. Basically Talonflame can finish all but Milotic with incredible ease. In order for the team to be effective, you basically need to replace or alter a good portion of them. Rather than Blaziken I recommend Yzard as he provides some nice sun boosted fire moves and is less hated than Blaziken. Trevenant can definitely work on a sun team but I'd recommend seeing some smogon suggestions on EV and moveset as he is a bit of a niche character and needs an appropriate moveset in order to operate effectively. Rather than Gardevoir, I'd recommend a defensive based magic wall espeon to deal with Hazards. On the reverse Galvantula can be a nice Hazard setter and could work although I'd again recommend smogon for advice on setup. Heatran can benefit nicely from this set as well and then a Chlorophyll Venasuar can round it out. It's not a perfect team but it's a nice pplace to start.
 
Btw, you should look at the tiers, the team you built, would be for the ubers tier, because of blaziken, and it wouldnt stand a chace against standart ubers teams, in case you just wanna play on 3ds scratch this. :)
I really recommand you playing after the smogon tiers, it makes building a lot easier, because you can just build a team and check the list of the current ou mons to see if you have any glaring weakness. I can also recommand this to check your team: http://sweepercalc.com/rmt/
Just go to your team and go to import/export, copy the team and past it on this site, then click update to see what mons break your team really well and try to work arround them, if you want to see what mons completely shut down your team click on "wall it" on sweeper calc to work arround that aswell, also you should look over the usage stats/Viability rankings in overused, to know what mons you should mainly prepare for.
 
I think I used the word competitive incorrectly. I guess I just want to start doing WiFi battles. No restrictions. Just play. The reason I came to this site is to get heavily criticized.
 
You need to be more descriptive for example explain why you have Forest's Curse on Trevenant, if you can't explain why its there then it shouldn't be there. Also Blaziken is banned in OU so yeah use a different mega like Charizard Y (which can get your sun up). You need at least 3 lines explaining each of your pokemon; why you chose the set, why you chose the spread, why is it on the team, what does it do for the team etc.. I can see many errors with your natures, EVs spreads and movesets so yeah you need to fix them. I won't fix them for you because they are all wrong no offense but I am just pointing that out. Learning natures and stats are important for pokemon you'll see that there are many better pokemon that you can use once you figure it out.
 
Several things I'd change in this team, not to be rude or anything.
1)As crnorton said, you have some glaring weaknesses. Find some options to spread your type pool a little more.
2) Some of these PKMN (like bellosom) have some other Pokemon that can fill their position on your team better. Recommend a member like Chansey @ Eviolite to pull off status moves.
3) If you're gonna run mega Blaziken, swap out earthquake for protect to take full advantage of Speed Boost.
4) Shop around!,Tweaking your team to your own fighting style will help you the most!
Good luck and keep at it!
