I haven't really battled competitively before and my knowledge on EV/IV training is nil, so I'm looking for advice on training a team with good balance between types, attack and support, etc. Thanks in advance ^^
Currently on my team:
Serperior
Nature: Bold
Held Item: Shell Bell
Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Giga Drain, Leaf Blade, Slam, Leaf Storm
My intent for Serperior was just to get a good balance, but I want to replace one of his moves with a support move such as Synthesis and maybe replacing Leaf Storm with Solarbeam.
Scolipede
Nature: Relaxed
Held Item: Rocky Helmet
Ability: Swarm
Moves: Steamroller, Strength, Rock Climb, Megahorn
This one is my physical attack powerhouse, and she has especially good defense and speed. Considering breeding for a replacement with Poison Point as an ability.
Chandelure
Nature: Serious
Held Item: Cleanse Tag
Ability: Flash Fire
Moves: Hex, Flamethrower, Flame Burst, Shadow Ball
My main special attacker, but her defense and HP are abyssmal. I also want a better hold item but I don't know what it should be.
Archeops
Nature: Timid
Held Item: None
Ability: Defeatist
Moves: Acrobatics, Fly, Dragon Claw, Rock Slide
This one's defense is also very low and his ability only makes it worse. Considering replacing with Mandibuzz or something else.
Galvantula
Nature: Serious
Held Item: Magnet
Ability: Unnerve
Moves: Gastro Acid, Bug Buzz, Volt Switch, Discharge
I usually use this one with Archeops in order to use Gastro Acid to cancel out Archeops's ability. Speed is excellent, defense is quite low again.
Jellicent
Nature: Sassy
Held Item: Quick Claw
Ability: Cursed Body
Moves: Surf, Ominous Wind, Waterfall, Water Spout
Speed is the worst here, all other stats are relatively high. Considering a replacement, but not sure what I would use.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. It doesn't matter to me what's banned and what isn't, since I don't do official tournaments or anything. Thanks again.
