Can someone give suggestions for my competitive team? I've only got about three pokemon that I've decided to use but I become a bit stumped when it comes to adding other things. Here's my three:
Gallade @ Expert Belt
Steadfast
Psycho Cut, Night Shade, Close Combat, Will-o-Wisp
Adamant - 236 HP/252 Atk/20 SpDef
[He was the pokemon I decided to build my team around. He could've been a great sweeper but his speed is pretty crap. At first, I put Thunder Wave on him to help outspeed opponents but I realized that he'd probably beat special attackers easier due to his good SpDef so I wouldn't send him out against physicals unless I had no choice. Because of that, I decided on Will-o-Wisp to cut down their attack and help him hang in the the game longer. Expert belt instead of life orb because, even though I put EVs into his HP, he'd still probably get knocked out against a physical pokemon in one hit and he needs to retain all the HP he can.]
Sableye @ Lum Berry
Prankster
Taunt, Recover, Will-o-Wisp, Foul Play/Confuse Ray
Bold - 252 HP/48 Def/208 SpDef
[He's the prankster and the setup blocker. Thought he would be a good compliment to Gallade's weakness of ghost with the downfall of sharing a weakness to fairy types. Depending on what mode, I thought Foul Play would be better for Singles so he can have some offensive while in Doubles he'd be a full-time saboteur pokemon. I put Lum Berry instead of leftovers because he's not a stalling type even though I buffed up his defenses; that's so he doesn't get KO'd before I can get taunt and will-o-wisp off. Same for the reason I put recover on him--so he can last longer.]
Aggron @ ?
Sturdy
Earthquake, Heavy Slam, Curse, Stealth Rock
Sassy - 240 HP/80 Def/188 SpDef
[He's probably going to be the lead of my team as he has stealth rock. I needed a pokemon that had an advantage over fairy-type and it was between him, Skarmory and Metagross. I can't get a Metagross in my game and I can't get stealth rock on Skarmory so I got Aggron. He's also the tank of the team and I gave him curse to boost his defense and attack so he can get off some good damage while he's on the field. Can't use Mega because you have to have Pokemon Y to get it and I have X >:/ ]
I know I need a physical sweeper; Gallade is more of a special killer in my eyes. And probably another setup or support pokemon but I'm not sure as to what. I also probably need a special tank... Might swap out Aggron for Mawile now that I think about it but I really wanted to use Aggron as a tank but Mawile is a steel/fairy-type and would probably support Gallade and Sableye better...
I'm stumped :/
Suggestions would be appreciated
