Haiii guys, this is my XY OU team! please rate it :3

Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk 252 Spd
Ability: Trace (Pixilate when Mega Evolved)
Moves:
Hyper Voice
Destiny Bond
Psychic
Focus Blast

M-Gardevoir is my standard special sweeper, and my Mega. She works very well ^.^ I've been thinking of replacing DB with W-O-W though.

Magneton @ Eviolite
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk / 200 HP /52 Spd (the last two EV amounts are estimates, sorries)
Ability: Magnet Pull
Moves:
Volt Switch
Thunderbolt
Flash Cannon
HP Fire

Magneton is my Steel Trapper, who can easily dispose is Skarmory, Ferrothorn, and Scizor that lack Superpower. He's a real team player :D

Zangoose @ Toxic Orb
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
Ability: Toxic Boost
Moves:
Protect
Façade
Shadow Claw
Close Combat

Zangoose is one of my favorite Pokémon, and his Toxic Orb set is very good. It can OHKO nearly anything that doesn't resist it with Façade, and the other two moves are there for coverage. Protect is to ensure that Posion is set up.

Metagross @ Assault Vest
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 HP
Ability: Clear Body
Moves:
Bullet Punch
Power-Up Punch
Meteor Mash
Zen Headbutt

Metagross is the tank of my team, and while I'm still building him up in my game this is the set I'm going to use. Power-Up Punch raises Attack, and the other moves are there for STAB.

Cradily @ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def
Ability: Storm Drain
Moves:
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Toxic
Recover

Cradily is my all-time favorite Pokémon, and he's actually pretty good at being my team's wall. set up SR, then Toxic Stall. :3

Zygarde @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk
Ability: Aura Break
Moves:
Dragon Dance
Extreme Speed
Outrage
Earthquake

Zygarde is another tank of my team, and I love him so much xD he can take Physical hits very well, and set up Dragon Dances and potentially sweep.

Theres my team! ^.^ positive critisicm only please, if you have any. :3
 
RE: My XY OU team! ^.^

Great RMT ^_^ I remember playing this team, it's really good!

Why EQ over Seed Bomb on Cradily though? The STAB (And ability to hit flying types / levitate users) could help with sustainability.

Can't wait to see more from you :D
 
RE: My XY OU team! ^.^

I never thought about Seed Bomb. How do you get it? I would use Giga Drain but its transfer only :c
and this isn't the exact team you played on Showdown, this is on the actual games :p its a bit different, but arguably not much.
 
RE: My XY OU team! ^.^

Very nice team, samus, looks very funny to play with! :D And I would go Will-o-Wisp on Gardevoir, Destiny Bond is not always reliable, while with the Burn you can wear down a Physical attacker while giving it damage between turns. ;)

Definitely replace Destiny Bond with Will-o-wisp. You should also replace Psychic with Psyshock to hit things with higher Special Defense harder. I would recommend running 232 spa and 24 Def to better take on Latios Psyshocks.
Magneton @ Eviolite

With Knock Off being everywhere, notably on Scizor, Magneton is just not viable. You should use Magnezone instead. It hits harder anyway. Give it Choice Specs and use 172 HP / max Spa / 84 Spe to outspeed Skarmory and kill it.
Zangoose @ Toxic Orb
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd

Moves:
Protect

Don't use Zangoose. It's just that bad. Its Speed is mediocre and it doesn't even hit that hard to make up for it. It's really frail so anything that can survive a hit (which is pretty much every bulky pokemon) can KO it back, not to mention that the Toxic will further wear down your health. Revenge killing it is super easy, especially because there are so many faster pokemon in OU. Swords Dance could be run over Protect so that you can actually do some damage, but Zangoose is still not worth using, especially with priority everywhere this gen. You're better off using Zangoose in RU or NU where it's actually good. I would suggest replacing it with Azumarill. Your team is very weak to Mega Charizard X, who can 2HKO your entire team after a DD. Azumarill can take care of this, in addition to being a strong attacker who appreciates having Ferrothorn and Skarmory trapped by Magnezone. Here's the Azumarill set:
Azumarill @Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Waterfall
- Superpower.
Metagross @ Assault Vest
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 HP
Ability: Clear Body
Moves:
Bullet Punch
Power-Up Punch
Meteor Mash
Zen Headbutt

You should run EQ over PUP. PUP is weak and will only give you +1, while the coverage from EQ is more important. Otherwise any Steel type will wall you, most notably Aegislash.
Cradily @ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def
Ability: Storm Drain
Moves:
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Toxic
Recover

Cradily is my all-time favorite Pokémon, and he's actually pretty good at being my team's wall. set up SR, then Toxic Stall. :3

Cradily is really not that worth using, either. It has some use because nobody will expect it, but that'll wear off pretty quickly when your opponent discovers that it's weak to Fighting, Ice, and Steel and the only thing it can do back is Toxic and a weak EQ. It really isn't all that bulky, either. You're better off using it in NU or RU, where it'll at least be usable, but not great. Your team's biggest weaknesses are physical threats. Luckily replacing Cradily with Rotom-W can take care of this. Rotom-W is a much better physical wall and has access to Will-o-wisp and Volt Switch. Washtom also appreciates having Ferrothorn killed by Magnezone. Here's the Rotom-W set:
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split

The Speed EV's are to outspeed Azumarill. You can run Rest and a Chesto Berry over Pain Split and Lefties. Volt Switch can be used over Thunderbolt, but I generally prefer Tbolt's power and the fact that you may want to stay in on something instead of switch out.
Zygarde @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk
Ability: Aura Break
Moves:
Dragon Dance
Extreme Speed
Outrage
Earthquake

Zygarde is another tank of my team, and I love him so much xD he can take Physical hits very well, and set up Dragon Dances and potentially sweep.

A DD set would be better off with max Speed instead of max HP. If you want to use a bulkier set, then you should try the SubCoil set:
Zygarde @ Leftovers
Ability: Aura Break
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Coil
- Earthquake
- Substitute
- Dragon Tail
In my opinion, the SubCoil set is better and Dragonite is a better fast DD user. Here's a good Dragonite set, just in case:
Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- ExtremeSpeed
- Earthquake

Outrage is here over Dragon Claw because it hits harder and Magnezone traps Steel types and hits Fairies hard. They would still defeat Dragonite anyway, so it's not really worth it.
 
RE: My XY OU team! ^.^

Thanks for the tips guys! i'll have to fiddle around on Showdown a bit :p I guess I should've added this is more my favorites team and less competitive, otherwise it would have Pikablu and Smugenwash xD still, thanks for the tips! To Showdown!
EDIT: I'm going to test your reccomendations in Showdown. c:
