I'd go with Greninja, Electivire, Charizard, Gengar, Infernape, then the wall / tank of your choice.

You have two water weaknesses - charizard and infernape. Two electric weaknesses - greninja and charizard. electivire saves those two from electric, but greninja would still take a lot from a fire attack due to if being so frail. I would look into a water absorb poke or maybe just a bulky water / grass type.

to name a few:

Muk - water absorb / tank
Vaporeon - cleric/wall
Any bulky grass type - access to multiple status + cleric support

Muk has been the pokemon which has caused me many many mental breakdowns.

If you're looking for a good physical tank who can shut down set ups and burn, I'd suggest weezing. I think Roloc has a good Wisp clear smog build.

For a special tank maybe take a pokemon like florges, an insane sp def and high sp att too.

There is always quagsire but I'd rather not mention him ._. *shivers*

Wouldn't Lucario or some other Fighting type pokemon provide more coverage?Or would a setup sweeper be better(like dragon dance dragonite or tyranitar).And the only pokemon that come to my mind when i think of grass type wall are Venusaur,Vileplume,Ferrothorn.i don't really know any other "good" grass type walls.
How is this Vaporean
Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Hardy Nature
- Wish
- Scald
- Protect
- Roar
I couldn't make a good Muk set so please suggest me one.

Vaporeon is a special wall so let it do its job. Max HP and sp def evs. You may also want to consider heal bell over roar, though roarnis a viable option. Never know when you may need to phase out a Pokemon.

Dewgong is also another great bulky water that can take both special and physical hits but doesn't have reliable recovery.

Lucario has more coverage as am physical sweeper but infernape has more damage without the need to setup.

I'll build an example muk set later on when I have time

Hey, Roloc, currently making a more rounded Fairy team. Any suggestions for a Physical Fairy type pokemon? Currently have:

A lead
A bulky-ish Physical attacker
A bulky Special attacker
A frail, Fast Special
[Empty]
A wall

Edit: Forget I posted this. I remember now.

Azumarill is love. Azumarill is Life.

Haha, I was going to say, your options are fairly limited to what pokemon you want to use, theres only like, what? 16 fairy pokemon.

Have you tried whimscott?  It's a wall/stall/annoyer and it's one of the best.

Ultimate Annoyer:

Whimsicott (M) @ Leftovers / Red Card
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Def
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Taunt
- Leech Seed / Toxic
- Encore
- Substitute

Leftovers for free heals, Red Card to force them to switch when they attack you. Believe me, Red Card can be VERY annoying. Also it makes for an interesting strategy. If they get a pokemon set up on you, simply switch into Whimsicott and when they attack you, they will be switched out and thus they are no longer set up. :)

Leech Seed for residual damage + recovery, or Toxic for more killing power. Taunt / Encore combo can put a damper on any ones stategy. Sub for status block + it's just a big kick in the nuts to your opponent. xD

Ok, so I have to sort of apologize, because I randomly disappeared for what seems like at least a month or so. I'll be able to get on much more frequently again starting soon. I just tried to log on to PO and battle, and it was more or less a disaster, most likely largely in part due to my absence. So, I've decided to completely redo my team and start from scratch. Any suggestions on what types I should try and maybe make my new mono-type?

Flying, it's one of the most versatile types. It has access to every type in the game.

I'd prefer a type that isn't taken by any active players at the moment, so that I have time to work with it and develop it on my own without any pressure from someone wanting to battle for elite. Of course in the future, I'd love to battle someone for the elite title, but I want the freedom to develop my skillset first, because I'm derpy as of now. And I like flying. I may try that, but I'm still open to suggestions.

How many people have pokemon x or y?

I was thinking we could do some online battles on our games if we had some people interested.
You don't need a fully EV trained pokemon or specially bred pokes. Though I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't benefit you greatly. xD

But it's just for fun, it's not a tournament or anything, just some fun battles in the new gens 3D greatness.
