PVP team example + taking advice!

[Blackninjajesus]

Hello all! I am relatively new and I admit struggling quite a bit with PVP. I know that looking at sample teams was helpful but surprisingly hard to find in great numbers, and so I hope I can not only be of some help, but I'm also accepting tips!

 

Basically, this team is the first I've been using with decent success and I'm happy right now, but like goals to work toward.

 

Cloyster @ Leftovers

Ability: Skill Link

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

item: nevermeltice

jolly Nature

- Ice Shard

- Icicle Spear

- Shell Smash

- Rock Blast

 

Note: Mine currently knows spike blast (or whatever) instead of rock blast, waiting on 200 hours :)

 

Ninetales @ Leftovers

Ability: Drought

EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Timid Nature

item: leftovers

- Nasty Plot

- Energy Ball

- Flamethrower

- Will-O-Wisp

 

Talonflame @ Leftovers

Ability: Gale Wings

EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe

Adamant Nature

Item: leftovers

- Flare Blitz

- Brave Bird

- Roost

- Swords Dance

 

Scizor @ Leftovers

Ability: Technician

EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def

Adamant Nature

Item: leftovers

- Bullet Punch

- Swords Dance

- Superpower

- X-Scissor

 

Dragonite @ Leftovers

Ability: Multiscale

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Adamant Nature

Item: leftovers

- Dragon claw

- Dragon Dance

- Fire Punch

- Roost

 

Florges @ Leftovers

Ability: Flower Veil

EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA

Bold Nature

Item: leftovers

- Aromatherapy

- Wish

- Moonblast

- Calm Mind

 

You'll notice I lack many pvp items and so kinda just stick leftovers on everyone :) Life would def be better on ninetales maybe, maybe talon too.

 

I hope this helps and I hope for good feedback:)

Your team kind of looks like you put a bunch of random pokemon together. I really recommend trying out one or two out of these teams: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/80786-url/

 

They should be a good start for a new player.

 

But maybe you want to do something with a core from those pokemon? Maybe I can help you build a team then.

You're not wrong in that I did indeed stick random guys together. It just so happens that this is the first team of random guys that seems to be working very well for me :)

 

I'm open to any advice really,

 

I'm a fan of that ninetales with drought and I was tihnking about maybe adding some solar power pokes,

 

I also know that cloyster is very strong, and I love my florges

 

Do either of those work as foundations?
