Team Help/ Advice

[Lord Reshiram]

Could I please get some help with this team:

Ninetales
Drought
Heat Rock
4 HP/ 252 SPATK/ 252 SPEED
Fire Blast
Dark Pulse
Solar Beam
Psyshock

Ninetales sets up for my Chlorophyll Leafeon, and has can cover water, ground, and rock types for itself, and
overall it's my opener.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leafeon
Chlorophyll
King's Rock
252 ATK/ 4 DEF/ 252 SPEED
Leaf Blade
X-Scissor
Aerial Ace
Last Resort

Leafeon OHKO's most things even if it's not super effective, it outspeeds everything, including the common Greninja
It also balances out what kills Ninetales and can take a physical hit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mandibuzz
Overcoat
Leftovers
100 HP/ 100 DEF/ 100 SPDEF/ 210 SPEED
Toxic
Roost
Whirlwind
Foul Play

Mandibuzz is there to intoxicate some of a team, it also has access to STAB foul play and can take a couple of hits then
roost.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Metagross
Clear Body
Assault Vest
100 HP/ 210 ATK/ 100 DEF/ 100 SPDEF
Hammer Arm
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Zen Headbutt

Metagross can take a few hits and people don't expect a steel type to have alot of special defence so that's why the
assault vest is there. It has high attack and lasts a couple of turns.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greninja
Protean
Focus Sash
4 ATK/ 252 SPATK/ 252 SPEED
Ice Beam
U-Turn
Scald
Dark Pulse

Greninja kills everything with STAB and can last two turns thanks to the focus sash. It's a special sweeper.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haxorus
Mold Breaker
Lum Berry
4 HP/ 252 SPATK/ 252 SPEED
Outrage
Shadow Claw
Rock Slide
Earthquake

Haxorus sweeps physically, It's Outrage can't be withstood by many pokemon and it can take a Brave Bird From a Talonflame then
rock slide it.


What should be changed?

Just to clarify, what format is this for?

It's a bit late so just some preliminary things for now:
- Last Resort on Leafeon is a no-no. You'll only get to use it if Leafeon uses all of its moves in one sitting and you're risking bad matchups by doing that, go with Return. King's Rock works best on multi-hit moves so I suggest going Life Orb for the extra bit of damage. Give it Knock Off if you can.
- what's the reasoning behind the EV spreads for Mandibuzz and Metagross? It's best to maximize HP to get the most of Leftovers recovery and Mandibuzz doesn't need to be outspeeding things that often. This looks like an in-game team but if you can I suggest getting a hold of Defog over Whirlwind.
- Focus on HP and Attack for AV Metagross, its uninvested Special Defense is decent especially with Assault Vest. Keep in mind that Hammer Arm slows you down, if you need priority you can fit in Bullet Punch in there. Also be aware that sunlight boosts Fire-type moves and Metagross wouldn't like that.
- no Mega Pokemon? Try something along the lines of Charizard or Houndoom for the mega as they can make more use of the sunlight. You can also run a Chlorophyll Venusaur sweeper to bluff the mega.

I changed Ninetales for Char Y
Leafeon now holds a life orb and knows return
Metagross now has an EV spread of 252 HP/ 252 ATK/ 4 DEF
I'm not sure what EV spread is appropriate for Mandibuzz
I use this team competitively as it works in most formats
