XY Team help needed

Hey, so i havnt played a pokemon game since Gen III, so i'm a little behind in terms of metagames.

I'm looking for help with my current team, which is roughly OU


crustle.jpg


Crustle (Physical wall, SR) 252 HP, 252 Def, 4Att
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Leftovers

X-Scissor
Stealth Rock
Stone Edge
Shell Smash

So, i very much like this mon, and with a high base defense and decent HP, along with an Attack of 90 makes it a nice physical wall.
Can take Talonflame's brave bird like a boss, for example.
I chose this moveset as it gives me 2 STAB moves, both with high power, and stealth rock to put stealth rocks out. the shell smash is if they have a physical who cant hurt me at all, i shell smash to do some damage to their team.



weavile.jpg


Weavile (Physical Attack) 252Att, 252Spe, 4Spd
Item: Choice band
Ability: Pressure

Night Slash
Power Up Punch
Ice Shard
Substitute

Weavile has strong attack and speed, but he can take a hit at all. I like him for his ability to one hit a MewTwo Y with a night slash. The main moves here are night slash and ice shard, both reliable STABs. Other 2 moves are filler, i dont know what else to put on him. Generally i use weavile as a revenge killer, as he is so fragile.


florges.png

Florges (Special Wall) 252Spa 252Spd, 4Spe
Item: Leftovers
Ability:Who cares, both are terrible.
MoonBlast
Calm Mind
Wish
Protect

My #1 pokemon of my team. This thing can wall ANYTHING that uses special attacks, with its Spd of 154. It can even attack back with its Spa of 130 and kill things bad. I usually switch into florges when i know enemy is a special attacker, take a hit and wish protect, then calm mind up until i can moonblast everything ever. Unfortunately Florges has a mediocre HP stat and its Defense is pretty low, however these are small drawbacks.


gengar.jpg

Gengar. (Special Sweeper) 252 Spa, 252 Spe, 4Hp
Item: Gengarite
Ability: Levitate/ShadowTag
Shadow Ball
Sludge Bomb
Dazzling Gleam
Dark Pulse

gengar was strong already, i believe and his Mega gives an extra 20 special attack and speed, making him an even stronger sweeper. I have an idea to combine this with a Spore/Geomancy/BatonPass/Power Herb smeargle for instant sweep.
Nothing can resist this moveset (I believe) so it hits everything pretty hard.


For my 5th slot, i'm thinking Smeargle (Supporty?) 252Spe, 252 Def, 4Hp
Item: Focus Sash (Moody? ~ banned?)
Spore
Geomancy
Baton pass
Thunder Wave?

I have 2 ideas for this, either power herb or focus sash, but i think focus sash is a stronger option so i can get the spore off. The idea is then to geomancy and pass on the boost of +2Spd +2Spa +2Spe onto Gengar or Florges, which will make them super strong.

And in my 6th maybe Chesnaught? 252Spd, 252Att, 4Hp
Item: ???
Spiky Shield,
Seed Bomb,
Power Up Punch
Substitute

The idea here is to kind of stall it out with spiky shield and substitute and power punch and seed bomb anything. Chesnaught is super bulky naturally, so it can take a few hits.
This slot and the 5th i'm really not sure about, and I need suggestions on what my team is missing, etc.

I'm very new to pokemon Battling and this forum, so please dont be too harsh :)

RE: [OU] XY Team help needed

First off, Moody is banned under the Evasion Clause. Next, Geomancy is essentially a double Quiver dance that takes 2 turns, so you're better off just using Quiver Dance in the first place. Gengar is a serious threat and Mega Gengar is probably heading to Ubers, just as fair warning. The rest of your pokemon have either been in lower tiers in previous generations (Crustle was in one of the lowest tiers in gen 5 and Weavile is UU in gen 5. The latter's double fighting weakness is a serious drawback in OU where fighting type moves abound) or are not quite up-to-par for even Gen 5's OU gameplay (Chesnaught is kind of bulky but has poor typing, especially with the prevalence of Gale Wings Talonflame, while Florges is very slow and dies to most physical hits. Many special attackers that I've seen thus far wield Psyshock, so Florges cant really wall them. It also can't really do too much due to it's low speed and shallow movepool.) Sylveon may be a better fairy to use a s a wall since it has higher HP coupled with respectable defenses (not any better than Florges, but the HP makes it much bulkier) and a decent movepool. Togekiss is another great fairy that has established strategies (from previous) that will work well with only minor alterations.

I cant make many more recommendations as I'm still experimenting and figuring out the Gen 6 metagame myself.
