Hey everyone, I was looking for some advice on what Pokémon to add to the last two slots of my current Y team, which consists of:


Charizard-Mega-X (M) @ Charizardite X
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Dragon Claw
- Roost
- Dragon Dance

Scizor (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Brick Break
- Swords Dance
- U-turn

Togekiss (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Roost
- Air Slash
- Nasty Plot
- Aura Sphere

Greninja (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

- Ice Beam
- Dark Pulse
- Extrasensory

I'm thinking I probably need a tank or an annoyer of some kind, any suggestions?

What's this team going to be used for? OU? Wi-Fi Rating Battles? 3-v-3? Doubles?

You've got three members with an Electric weakness. Charizard and Greninja can lose it eventually, but that's a mute point since they can't switch in on an Electric attack at all. You're going to want to hole up that weakness somehow. Mega Charizard X works after the Mega Evolution, but if someone predicts your switch in before it, you're screwed. My vote is for a Ground type or a Lightningrod/Volt Absorb Pokémon. Off the top of my head, Manectric is excellent. Yeah, you won't be able to Mega Evolve him with Charizard on the team, but I've used a Manectric myself without a Mega Stone to great success. The ideal set for him would be something like this-

Manectric (M) @ Focus Sash/Expert Belt
Ability: Lightningrod
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Flamethrower/Overheat
- Hidden Power Ice (or if you can't get it, then try something like Charge Beam to increase your sweeping potential)

Then again, Manectric can't take a hit himself, so you're going to want someone to help hole up the Rock weakness you also suffer. A quick look at Smogon's (yeah, boo Smogon, but it's good for quick references) OU list makes me think that Ferrothorn could work too. He resists lots of things that your team suffers from and is that tank that you're looking for. However, I personally don't have much experience with one myself, so judge for yourself- http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/pokemon/ferrothorn
