Come here.

This team is much more suited for the In-Gmae Environment, since Competitive gaming is way more serious than you think. Work your way up, read a few stickies here and there, and watch other teams being rated to get the idea. Understand?
 
The natures on them are not really that good. With the right nature your pokemon could get a huge bonus in a certain stat or be crippled if it's not a good nature. Also a few of your pokemon need variety in their moves. Charizard doesn't need both Flare Blitz and Flamethrower, and Milotic doesn't need both Surf and Hydro pump. Another thing is a lot of your pokemon have recharge moves which on most pokemon are horrible. You especially don't want Giga Impact on Garchomp and Salamance since after using it your opponent is going to send in a pokemon with an ice move which most of the time OHKO both.

Also the complete lack of EVs stands out a lot...
 
EVs play a huge role. Also, iirc, In-Game doesn't really pay attention to Teirs, so like using a Volbeat in competitive OU won't really be great, while using a Volbeat In-Game could work.
 
It's kind of like the Battle Tower in a way, but on a more extreme scale since every player out there will have attacks to try and help their team against the big threats out there. Good examples of movesets are on Smogon's page. You can reach that http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemonhere.

I myself am still working towards getting my team of choice as it shows in the card. Still trying to determine which 6th Poke I want atm. Hope this gives you a little help. There's also IVs when it comes to determining Pokes which are exclusive to each one you train. You can adjust these however w/Protein, Iron, Carbos and so forth. If I remember correctly, this is also important when trying to figure out what type of Hidden Power you want if you so choose to use it.

I'm still new to the competitive battling system myself, but I try to read as much as I can, so I'll pass some knowledge down. Hope this helps. L8r for now.

hmm i just finished reading alot about evs and diferent types of parties and guids, but i want to ask, can ayone give me some advice on usefull pokemon that can be used as walls and clerics. but i dont really want a party filled with pokemon that evryone has.
any advice on what i should keep and take out
 
I say one of the best things to do as a nice start would be to remove Chomp or Mence, they both have 4x Ice weaknesses. Your best attempt at a wall of some kind in Recover from Milotic and Morning sun from espeon. IMO, a physical wall would help.
I dont really rate teams that much, but after getting owned up-down-left-right-upsideown-and-backwards by a Toxic Orb Heracross, Ive noticed that Physical walls are needed quite a bit, your team has a bit more fear of something like that.
But seriously, I could go and EV train my own Jolly Nature Toxic Orb Heracross and own this team like theres no tommorow.

Don´t worry, you just need some little practice and to remember all this recomendations. You told you was a noob, but doesn´t matter, we all start like you when first playing in competitive battles. I recommend you to check the Individual PKMN rates in this sub-forum, it will help you more to build your team. Also if you need help with the EVs you can also use this:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/925601/48969

It´s a little guide that will help you to train your PKMNs with proper EVs. Then you will see how much a team can be changed if trained correctly.
 
Hey, nice guide. That will work better.
 
wow ty evryone i didnt expect to recieve soo many replies and if i remove my slamance what would i be able to replace it with
 
Alright then, if you've got a grasp with competitive then onto the Pokemon.

Charizards really not a beginers Pokemon. THanks to a 4x SR weak it requires a large amount of team support, and really only works on teams centered around it. I would reccmoend removing it.

Milotics a fine bulky water, but here's a proper moveset.

Milotic @ Leftovers
Bold
EVs 148 HP / 228 Def / 132 SpA
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam
~ Recover
~ Hypnosis

Or if you want the ability to absord status then Milotic can also SleepTalk:

Milotic @ Leftovers
Bold / Modest
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpA
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam / Toxic
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk

Espeon is really only useful for Batton Passing CM boosts, for which you have nothing to recieve. So either taking out Espeon or add in a target to recieve boosts.

Salamence works well. It has a heap of options, so check them out and edit apropriatly.
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/salamence

Don't like Absol, it's hard to use in OU and very often won't be pulled off right. Another one I would suggest removing.

For a cleric Blissey is easily the best. Try to shake off the chains of not wanting to use the most common OU Pokes. It only holds people back. When you've got more experience it's fine but when people with very little experience refuse to use Pokemon like Blissey for being 'too OU' it's almost infuriating. Also on that note Garchomp is oficially more used than Blissey!

Blissey @ leftovers
148 HP / 252 Def / 104 SpA / 4 Spe
Bold
Natural cure
~ Aromatherapy
~ Ice Beam / Thunder Wave
~ Seismic Toss
~ Softboiled
