I can't take your line up seriously because you have Wobbefuet oO

[GravePrometheus]

Get a Tyranitar in there. Tyranitars are awesome, haha.

But on a serious note, I never played in a tournament when I still played pokemon. But from what I know, Salamence is a pretty good pokemon, being one of the pseudo-legendarys. Aegislash is new to me so I did some research on it. Seems like a good pokemon if you play it right. Raikou is a legendary, so I'm assuming he's decent (I never used him). Didn't care to research Greninja, but I'm going to approve of him simply because he's a ninja. Researched Gyarados used in a tournament setting and it seems like he can have some success if played right. I heard Wobbuffet was banned in tournaments a few years ago, so I'm guessing he's good.

So yeah, seems like you have a decent chance.

[MetalHead666X]

Wobbefuet was  actually banned yes. Mainly because if you had a Wobbefuet VS Wobbefuet battle, you cant do much. Actually you cant do anything.

 

Cru- Dont doubt the Wob. Seriously, if you predict a move correctly It takes out most Pokemon in a single hit. It is actuall strong enough to be taken into the Highest tier of competitive, "Uber"

 

I am actually currently unusure whether to bring Gengar in or Greninja. Mainly because they specialize in the same things but have different ability which change the play style. 

I am hoping for Gyrados to be my power house, mainly cause DAMN FAIRY TYPES slowing Salamence. I hope it does well!

 

Though I will admit Raikou is pretty decent if you use it with Calm Mind to boost Special Attack. Its like a much more OP Jolteon. And Jolteon.

[GravePrometheus]

Out of curiosity, why are you spelling Wobbuffet like that?

[MetalHead666X]

Not a clue. Forgot how, that seem right.

[MetalHead666X]

So. 

I read the Rules. 

 

4 Pokemon. And they Have to be from Kalos. (The Pentagon thing.)

 

Mother fuckers. This means I can no longer use two of my powerhouses Salamence and Raikou. However Aegislash and Gyarados are still avaliable to me so yey!

So now I am going to use the most confusing team ever.

Aegislash

Gyarados

Wobbufuet

SHUCKLE! DONT FUCKLE WITH MY SHUCKLE.

[MetalHead666X]

Ok for the record, the above team was a joke

 

My actuall team will Consist of

Aegislash

Gyarados

Reuniclus

Gengar

[MetalHead666X]

Ok. So now my team is final.

 

Lets talk.

 

So, I will run Aegislash with Kings Shield, Iron Head, Aerial Ace and Shadow Ball. 

 

Kings Shield to keep my defenses and also reduced Attack stats, while both Iron Head and Shadow Ball make very strong STAB moves with Iron head covering against Fairys and Aerial Ace always hits, so I have a coverage against fighting types that may prove a threat. 

Will probably hand it something to boost its amazing attack even further. Either that or I could switch Aerial Ace for Swords Dance.

 

Secondly I will run a Reniculus with Trick Room, to compensate for its terrible speed and to outspeed oppenants. Psychic makes a strong Stab and gives good coverage over Fighting types that may harm Aegislash. Adding to that Focus Blast and Shadow Ball can give a rounded and solid coverage against pesky steel types and many other threats.

 

Will continue this tommorow. Currently hav stuff to do.

EDIT

Or not it seems.

Right. Next on the list is Gyarados.

Now this is my hopeful powerhouse. Dragon Dance give it mad speed and strength and Waterfall gives it the Powerfull STAB to back it up as well as destroying any firey threats to Aegislash. Stone Edge takes down any Flying types that get in my way especially the possible Talonflame. Earthquake takes down the majority of ground threats, and with the Mega Evolution boost, is OP.

Mega Gyarados will be a vital part in my team, for smacking down, lots and lots of threats.

However an alternate to that, could be this set. Rest which keeps Gyrados Alive for a long time, healing him up. Sleep talk allows me to send out hits while sleeping, with moves like Dragon Tail, to shuffle the field and Waterfall for that all important STAB.

 

Either one could work but I am unsure which to use. I think the second option would work best however with the next pokemon, which though was previously undecided, is now Skamory.

 

So. Skamory. Massive Defences and great speed..

Spikes, for that all important entry hazard. Though I may think some of the more common foes like Talonflame will be immune to it, Gyarados is a good switch in. Roost gives the same affect as Rest minus the Sleep. Brave Bird provides the perfect STAB against anything weak to it and Taunt just keeps the enemy using the same move over and over, so I can hit it harder and harder with other members. 
 

Skamorys massively high defenses and Roost will keep it the game for a long time while protecting weaker members of my team. I can avoid threats like Magnazone, but the biggest is Starmime.

 

And thats my team. Any help or tips are appreciated and thanks in Advanced.

Taunt just keeps the enemy using the same move over and over

 

Taunt doesn't keep it using the same move, that is Encore. Taunt makes it so that they can't use status moves. Didn't know if this made a difference to you or not, but thought i should mention it.

 

Your team seems really good. I think the second set of moves for your Gyarados would be better, but would switch Dragon Tail for Dragon Dance, as after a few Dragon Dances, he would be a beast! Rest/Roost is a must if you wanna get a few Dragon Dances going, then they will all bow to your almighty power

[MetalHead666X]

Yeah but that would leave me with one move. Which Is a right pain.  It would have to be a powerful attack for me to abuse it.

[GravePrometheus]

Well, like I said, I don't play pokemon competitively but the thing I read about Aegislash when I researched him was that people seemed to think that swords dance Aegislash is a poor choice. They thought you should be using him as a pivot, switching him out (to reset his shield forme) and what not.

The research I did on Gyarados in a tournament setting didn't really provide me with anything much to offer on your intended usage for him. They were mainly talking about him as a defensive pokemon instead of offensive. Talking about having him use thunder wave. I can try to find that topic again, if you're interested.

[MetalHead666X]

For Aegislash, I dont need to switch, King Shield changes it on use, while decreasing the attack of an opponent Pokemon who hits it.

 

Gyarados on the other hand is both offensive and Defensive. I rather use the defense.
