Rate-My-Team: A Shocking Discovery!
Welcome to the Thread!
The name's Tammie and this is my team I shall be using at the VGC Tournament I'm going to in October. For you guys who know nothing about VGC, it's basically: Bring 6 Pokemon and use 4, Kalos dex only, doubles format, every Pokemon to level 50 and no duplicate items and such. I am a huge fan of doubles battles so this suits me quite well ^-^
Anyway, onto a little information on the team. I was previously going to have two megas but realized that I wanted to focus the whole team around one amazing Pokemon. Mega Manectric. So with that little info I'm gonna start listing my team.

Manectric -> Mega Manectric @ Manectite
Ability: Lightning Rod -> Intimidate
Nature: Timid
EV Spread: 6 HP, 252 Sp.Atk, 252 Spd
Moves
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
Snarl
Protect
The core of my team. Timid was the obvious nature here as speed is key in VGC. Which is why there are max EVs in Speed. I chose Lightning Rod over Static as I wanted Manectric to be okay to switch in if there was a Rotom or fellow Manectric on the opposing team. A nice stat boost is always appreciated. Intimidate is for the physical attackers of course. Now onto the moves. Thunderbolt is for STAB. I opted for Flamethrower and Snarl over Overheat and HP Ice. I wasn't keen on the huge Sp. Atk decrease with Overheat and HP Ice didn't appeal to me. Snarl is for Aegislash and other special attacking Pokemon. Protect is obviously there to protect from my own earthquakes or the opponents. The EVs give Manectric massive hitting power and speed.

Rotom-Wash @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Calm
EV Spread: 252 HP, 12 Def, 92 Sp.Atk, 148 Sp.Def, 4 Spd
Moves
Thunderbolt
Hydro Pump
Thunder Wave
Protect
Oh look.. Another washing machine. Anyway I've been meaning to train one of these guys for ages. They have rather good bulk and pretty good offense too. I opted for the Sitrus Berry to keep it alive for longer. I went for Calm as I wanted to most bulk against Solar Beams from Mega Charizard Y. With the EVs I went for max HP, 12 Def and 148 Sp.Def to make it quite bulky. As I wanted a bit more offense I went for 92 Sp.Atk EVs. The Speed EVs are to beat 0 Speed EV Rotoms. The moves are pretty standard. Two STAB moves, a status move and Protect. I went for Thunder Wave as I thought I don't really need WoW as I already have an Intimidater.

Tyranitar @ ?
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Timid
EV Spread: 6 HP, 252 Sp.Atk, 252 Spd
IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
Moves
Rock Slide
Dark Pulse
Fire Blast/Ice Beam
Protect
I bet ya'll are like.. She's mad but in reality this does actually exist. With this you can actually attack without being hindered by a burn. However I'm a little stumped on two things.. Item and the choice between two powerful moves. I'm already using a Life Orb on another Pokemon. So I was thinking maybe an Assault Vest or getting rid of Protect and giving it a Choice Scarf. Or maybe even a Smooth Rock to annoy people with the weather. Anyway the EVs are for maximum special offense and speed. The IVs are so that Rock Slide still does a decent amount of damage and gets the STAB like Dark Pulse. Plus both are flinching moves. Fire Blast is for Mega Mawile and Ferrothorn and Ice Beam is for Garchomp.
Okay these are the first 3 Pokemon. I'll be shortly adding the other 3 after this.

A Shocking Discovery: Part 2!
Attachment 7572
Talonflame @ Charti Berry
Ability: Gale Wings
Nature: Adamant
EV Spread: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Spd
Moves
Brave Bird
Tailwind
Quick Guard/Roost
Protect
Ah a Talonflame.. But this is slightly different. A supporting Talonflame :0 How different. Gale Wings is obviously the ability to choose. Dat priority Tailwind, BB and Roost though. Quick Guard is for annoying Mega Kangaskhan and other Talons. However Roost would be good for some decent recovery. Protect is self explanatory. I maxed EVs in HP and Atk as I believe Speed EVs are kind of pointless on a Talonflame that doesn't have Flare Blitz. Charti Berry is to weaken Garchomp's Rock Slide. Ouch.
Attachment 7573
Mamoswine @ Focus Sash
Ability: Thick Fat
Nature: Adamant
EV Spread: 196 HP, 252 Atk, 60 Spd
Moves
Ice Shard
Earthquake
Icicle Crash
Protect
Standard bulky offensive Mamoswine. Thick Fat to resist Char Y's Heat Wave/Flamethrower. Adamant for all da power. Pretty self explanatory EVs. Decent bulkiness and max offense. The Speed EVs outspeed 4 Speed Rotom-Wash, which is a big threat to Mamoswine. The Focus Sash allows Mamoswine to survive a little bit longer. Ice Shard gives nice priority and STAB. Earthquake and Icicle Crash are there for big offense. And yet again Protect is there to allow Mamoswine to survive longer.

Mienshao @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus (Back away Mega Kang and yo Fake Out)
Nature: Jolly
EV Spread: 252 Atk, 6 Def, 252 Spd
Moves
High Jump Kick
Fake Out
Stone Edge
Wide Guard/Quick Guard
I just love Mienshao. Like gurl you look fab. Anyway.. I chose Inner Focus mainly cause I absolutely hate flinches. Like.. I call hax when I get a flinch u.u Jolly for the maximum speed along with that maxed out Spd EVs. Speedy. Mienshao is my Fake Out support. Like I love dat. I love inflicting flinches but hate getting them.. huh. Anyway I chose High Jump Kick and Stone Edge for great power. Now the last move depends on how I feel.. See I hate Char Y's Heat Wave and Garchomp's Rock Slide so I'm leaning more to Wide Guard. I added Quick Guard just in case Talonflame died.
Anyway that's my team! Hope ya'll like it and I would love feedback :)
