i couldn't make a decision and i posted this for help
PLZ chose and tell me why and what you think about it
and if you could be so awesome would you please right the proper ev's for it and if you could be even more awesome plz tell me the best moves that pokemon can learn, Thank you
1. Go with Serperior. All of the Unova starters are outclassed by other Pokemon, but if you really want to use one, go with Serperior. I'm mainly not recommending Emboar because I'll suggest a Fighting type later on and this way you wont repeat types. My favorite Serperior moveset is Coil / Leaf Blade / Aqua Tail / Dragon Tail
2. I recommend Zoroark. Umbreon has kind of a bad movepool and I'll be suggesting another Psychic type later on. Go with some combination of Nasty Plot, Night Daze/Dark Pulse, Flamethrower, U-Turn, Focus Blast, and Grass Knot. Just make sure not to use Nasty Plot and U-Turn on the same Pokemon because it's a huge waste of time to set up boosts, then switch out.
3. I'd say Eelektross. He's hard to find, but he has a much better movepool (Magnezone can hardly learn any moves that aren't Electric or Steel, while Eelektross can learn loads of moves) and has no weaknesses. Plus, I'll be recommending another Steel type later on and this way you won't be repeating types. I'm not going to suggest a movepool because he can learn so many moves, it's hard to find the best one. I know he gets good Special moves like Thunder Bolt, Grass Knot, and Flamethrower, but he also gets good Physical moves like Crunch, Acrobatics, Rock Slide, and Aqua Tail.
4. Use Flygon. This is mostly because of repeating types, but Flygon is available earlier than Skarmory and can use Fly, too. I'd say use something along the lines of Earthquake / Fly / Dragon Claw / Fire Blast. Maybe use Dig over Fire Blast for quick exits from caves.
5. Starmie because a Pokemon that can use Surf is helpful, although not necessary, AFAIK. Use something like Surf / Ice Beam / Psychic / Thunderbolt. Maybe add Waterfall, Dive, or Recover if you want to.
6. Definitely Lucario. Lucario is available really early, while I don't think Tyranitar is available until after the Elite Four. Lucario has a pretty diverse movepool and can run Physical and Special attacks, but his Physical Attacks are better. Some good moves are Close Combat, ExtremeSpeed, Shadow Claw, Stone Edge, Swords Dance, and Ice Punch.
I strongly encourage you
not to EV train your in-game team. It becomes very tedious and time consuming to keep track of which opponents yield which EVs and what EV's your current team members have. Most of the Pokemon I recommended are offensive, so defensive EV's will ruin your efforts, just like having the wrong Pokemon KO'd at the wrong time, unless you want to replace one of your party Pokemon with another Pokemon to absorb unwanted EV's. Also, EV training is more effective on Pokemon bred for the right IV's, natures, moves, etc, which your in-game team most likely won't unless you really want to spend all that time.
If you're really determined to EV train your team I'd say go with 252 Special Attack and 252 Speed on Zoroark, 252 Attack and 252 Speed on Flygon, 252 Special Attack and 252 Speed on Starmie, 252 Attack and 252 Speed on Serperior, 252 HP and 252 Special Attack on Eelektross, and 252 Speed and 252 Attack on Lucario.
