Virgin of competetive battling

[seekeroftheancientmethods]

Hello. As my title suggests i have never had a competetive batle before, although i once was a shoddy veteran. I am looking for help and guidance, if you will, as froming a team is not a new experience but still i am having trouble doing so.

So far i have managed to conjure:

Yanmega Speed Boost (Special Sweeper)
Modest /w ????????
252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP

Protect
Bug Buzz
Air Slash
Ancient Power

This works as a scouting lead, after one protect my Yanmega outruns most Pokes and has a sneak-peak at what the opposition has to offer. Bug Buzz and Air Slash are there for STAB and Ancientpower , though not the best option, is super-effective on most of Yanmega's weaknesses. However, the last move slot is versatile and i would like suggestions that stray away from hypnosis please. I am also unsure on what item to give it ?

Tauros Intimidate (Physical Sweeper)
Jolly /w Choice Band
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP

Return
EQ
Stone Edge
Pursuit

An old favourite of mine; Tauros suits his purpose. He is generally there to hurt unsuspecting teams, the moves are fairly straight forward, Return for STAB EQ and Stone Edge for coverage and Pursuit deals with escaping Gengars etc.

Donphan (Physical Wall)
Impish /w Leftovers
252 Def, 252 HP, 6 Atk

EQ
Ice Shard
Stealth Rock
Rapid Spinner

I like the fact that Donphan can lay down those pesky stones and spin them away- two birds with one stone- EQ is obvious and Ice Shard for those meddlesome Dragons.

Slowking Own Tempo (Special Wall)
Sassy /w Leftovers
252 Sp.Def, 212 HP, 44 Sp.Atk

Surf
Grass Knot
Yawn/T-Wave/Trick Room ?
Slack Off

I have a few decisions to make with this one, i chose Grass Knot over Ice Beam but this is easily altered. Surf and Slack Off are essential really. The third slot is were it gets difficult, Yawn can be helpful and T-Wave has it's perks as Slowking is abominably slow, however, would a Trick Room help my team if used correctly? It also makes use of Slowking's Sassy nature, instead of the usual Calm.

The next few Pokemon i was unsure of and i need suggestions i was gonna use a Machamp as a late game sweeper in accordancewith Trick Room Weezing also popped to mind as did Jolteon.

I realise i don't really have Garchomp covereage which is never helpful as well as Skarmory and maybe others i haven't foreseen.

I am fairly new and really do need help.

Be Nice

Sorry about the lack of pictures and another apology if the format is wrong

Garchomp, if I'm not mistaken, is now Uber so unless you want to fight in Uber battles, you wouldn't see it. I wouldn't recommend Trick Room as Yanmega and Tauros wouldn't benefit from it. I would pick Thunder Wave. Weezing could serve as a second physical wall and have it burn foes with Will-o-Wisp. Jolteon works too, perhaps as a Wish Passer? As for Yanmega's item, how about a Lum Berry? If it was ever paralyzed, the berry would fix it up and allows it to continue a sweep. If you have Platinum I could also recommend Outrage over Pursuit for Tauros to use against Dragons.

cheers for your help

Weezing and wish passing Jolteon wee what i had in mind

but alas Platinum is not out over here yet but when i do get it, Outrage is a feasibility,and as for Lum Berry maybe paralysis is a bummer.

Any More suggestions people?

Without the other two members of your team not only is it nearly impossible to rate but reno or some other mod with shut your thread down. As for rates Yanmega could go with wide lens because hypnosis has such shaky accuracy but something like focus sash would give more staying power but as a sweeper expert belt may be the better choice.

Please make sure you read the rules before posting. You are required to have a complete team. There is no "I don't know what to use in the last two slots", or you are breaking the rules. If you need to finish the last few Pokemon but don't know what to use, go to the question thread and ask.
