"We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth"


This is an OU team based off some of my favorite songs.
I'm not very experienced with competitive battling, so I could use all the help I can get.

Latias | Mega Gardevoir | Talonflame | Breloom | Sylveon | Rotom-Wash

Individual Pokemon Summaries
Latias - ("Bootleg Emotion")

"Bootleg emotions
Bottled up explosions
Intoxicating you
Learning of the truth
I'm your sentencing
Exiting through your skin
Intoxicating you
Ninety seven proof"



Moveset

Draco Meteor - Earthquake - Thunder - Roost

Latias is a special sweeper on my team, the main moves needed being Draco Meteor and Roost. Earthquake and Thunder are filler and are used if I know I can't pull off a switch to remove the effects of Draco Meteor. Dragon Fang is used here to boost Draco Meteor.


Item - Dragon Fang
Abillity - Levitate

Gardevoir - ("Magic Melody")

"Come to me Children
And follow my way
Into the World
Of Darkness and Magic
With all my Power
I'll show you the way
To all your Dreams,
Hopes And Illusions"

Moveset

Hyper Voice - Psyshock - Focus Blast - Substitute

Gardevoir has always been a favorite Pokemon of mine, Easily winning a spot on this team.
Hyper Voice and Psyshock are powerful, and Substitute is coverage. Focus Blast is simply filler on this poke.

Item: Gardevoirite
Ability: Synchronize


Talonflame - ("Resurrection")


twitterdex____663_talonflame_by_rosemcclain-d78502t.png


"So long, so long
And thanks for nothing
I'm gone, I'm moving on
Watch my resurrection
Watch my resurrection"


Moveset

Brave Bird - Fire Blast - Aerial Ace - Overheat

With both it's main types strengthened here, Talonflame shines with the 100% accuracy Gale Wings flying moves. With Overheat and Fire Blast to take advantage of the Flame Plate, this set is purely offensive. I am looking to replace Aerial Ace, suggestions?

Move: Flame Plate
Ability: Gale Wings


Breloom - ("Poison")

pokeddexy___breloom_by_electrical_socket-d6wy289.png


"Your cruel device, your blood like ice
One look could kill my pain, your thrill"


Moveset

Drain Punch - Leech Seed - Protect - Spore

This moveset is great because with all of these options, Breloom can heal quite a bit per turn. Protect is good for Poison Heal stalling. Spore is a status moves, which are always great to have.

Item: Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal

Sylveon - ("Castle In The Sky")
sylveon_by_nut_bar-d5v0ozq.png

"Take your sword and your shield
There's a battle on the field
You're a knight and you're right
So with dragons now you'll fight"


Moveset
Giga Impact - Moonblast - Calm Mind - Baton Pass

Dragon killer, need I say anymore? Pixilate Giga Impact can sweep easily and Moonblast is good as well.
Calm Mind and Baton Pass are always nice, especially if you want to switch.

Item: Pixie Plate
Ability: Pixilate

Rotom-Wash ("Clarity")

"High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again"

Moveset:
Thunderbolt - Hydro Pump - Will-O-Wisp - Pain Split

Rotom is more of a filler poke with me. Thunderbolt and Hydro Pump are good and Will-O-Wisp is good for burning your opponent. Pain Split is excellent when you are stuck below half HP late battle.

Item: Wide Lens
Ability: Levitate

Rate?

I'm not good at sentences, this is the best I could do. I will attempt to fix it, please bear with me.

fixed to be three sentences, though it might not be detailed enough
 
Okay, this team is well... Not very good. I would like to fix it in every way I can, so I'll just hide that so it doesn't take up a lot of room.

First of all,

Latias @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 72 HP / 184 Sp Atk / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Healing Wish/Roost
- Defog

This gives you hazard control so you can guarantee Talonflame doesn't die from Rocks. Latias is also good for an offensive presense and good typing, as well as avoiding ground type attacks. Healing Wish is so you can Heal up when your pokemon's health is low.

I would change Gardevoir's ability before Mega Evolving to Trace. This helps it if you find a useful ability to take advantage of. Also, run Will-O-Wisp or Taunt > Substitute since you have no reliable recovery. I would run an EV Spread of 32 Def / 224 Sp Atk / 252 Spe.

Next is Talonflame, which you should change COMPLETELY.

Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
IVs: 30 HP
Adamant/Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Flare Blitz
- Swords Dance

This is the current, and amazing Talonflame set that almost everyone runs. I feel this will help you out WAYYYY more than Aerial Ace and Fire Blast will.

Give Breloom an EV Spread of 252 HP / 252 Sp Def / 4 Atk

Sylveon.

Sylveon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 Hp / 252 Sp Atk / 4 Def
IVs: 0 Atk
Modest Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Psyshock
- HP Fire
- Shadow Ball/Baton Pass

It seems you're going more offensive with Sylveon, so this set will help a lot more.

Change Rotom-Wash to this set.

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers/Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Bold Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Pain Split/Rest
- Will-O-Wisp

Hope it helps mate.
