Hello, I'm new to this forum and I really like pokemon especially ruby and saphire as well as FR ad LG.
I want to make a team with no ubers or starters so i chose these pokemon
Metagross
Dragonite
Tyranitar
Milotic???
I still need 2 pokemon and i was wondering what would be most useful to the team. I would please like to hear suggestions and also what attcks should my pokemon have and what ev's please I've never Ev trained before but i have a rough idea how to do it. I can get any pokemon needed so it doesnt matter what you suggest.

THanks for any help you can give me

Metagross@choice band
adamant nature
- meteor mash
- earthquake
- rock slide/shadow ball/sludge bomb
- explosion

Dragonite@lefties
Mild nature
- ice beam
- t-bolt
- sub
- focus punch

Tyranitar@lefties
adamant nature
- rock slide
- earthquake
- dragon dance
- t-wave

Milotic@lefties
bold nature
- surf
- ice beam
- rest
- sleep talk

Give us the natures, moves, and held items next time.
As for a last pokemon, how about Starmie since you only have one (purely) special poke if you use Milotic.

Starmie@shell bell/lefties/lum berry
timid nature
- surf
- ice beam
- t-bolt
- recover

Freakshow

Jibaku
Dragonite @ Leftovers
Trait: Inner Focus
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Dragon Dance
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Thunder/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/*Substitute/*Thunder Wave/*Heal Bell

* = Use Adamant
That set fully abuses Dragonite's power. With higher Defenses than Salamence except it doesn't have intimidate, this is a monster once you get this thing in at the right time.

Snorlax might be a good idea for you to tank, and a special sweeper to balance your team out a bit
Starmie = Use nightcat's

Snorlax @ leftovers
Trait: Immunity/Thick Fat
Careful/Adamant Nature (+SDef/+Atk, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Return/Body Slam
- Shadow Ball
- Rest
With Tyranitar and Metagross in there, you don't need Earthquake

Thanks for your help but this is the planning of a team so i didnt have any natures etc yet. I dont understand whether you are saying to get rid of milotic or not here

I gave the natures so that you could try to get them.
And IMO ditch T-tar, and use both Milotic and Starmie.
Since you have too many physicals...
