SM OU New Competitive Player - First team attempt

[MMCREW]

Introduction​

Been a huge fan of pokemon games since gen 1. But only played casually, and had some friends recently tell me they do online battles or PS. So it peaked my interest and here I am.

Dragonite (F) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 12 HP / 248 SpA / 248 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Agility
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
- Fire Blast
​

Picked up Dragonite to kinda be a tanky sp.atk sweeper. That trys to cover any option.
Using him to cover low sp.def leads, and weakness.

Charizard (M) @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fire Blast
- Solar Beam
- Dragon Pulse
- Air Slash
​

picked up mega charizard to handle steel pokemon, and cover more options with solar beam. This was a recommendation from a friend.

Cloyster (M) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rapid Spin
- Substitute
​

Shell Smash+Spear. Find it really strong, and it seems to work well as late game sweeper.
I'm sure air balloon could be replaced with something better. But earthquake can be scary sometimes. (Could be using AB wrong)

Golem (M) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Polish
- Earthquake
- Thunder Punch
- Smack Down
​

Using rock polish over Auto as I've been way too lazy to breed for it.

Generally Golem is my lead, or my bait switch for weakness policy proc, and using rock polish right away with it. So get X2 across the board.

Feel he fits nicely and it's one of my favorite pokemon.

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 248 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Soft-Boiled
- Healing Wish
- Seismic Toss
- Stealth Rock
​

Physical Atk Waller, and my secondary lead depending on players team comp. Moveset should kinda say what my plan is here.

Registeel @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic
​

My Sp.def Waller and Staller for anything bulky outside of sleeptalk snorlax and other sleeptalk setups

Conclusion​

I tried to make this as balanced as possible and something that fit my playstyle (I'm a very aggro player)

I appreciate any and all feedback. Trying to learn. Including that I'm at the pokemon events through the year for work (Wont disclose who I work for)

But trying my luck at another competitive game, and including a game I've enjoyed for years.

Importable
