Suggestions for my in game team?

[0-Null]

After an embarrassing run that included a farfetch'd and losing multiple times, I want to start things fresh with my own team crafted of (some) of my favorite pokemon- even though it'll be difficult all the same. I haven't traveled far in my new game, but I have a pretty good idea who I would want on my new team, but I'm looking for some suggestions to see if it's balanced or if I maybe need to change out some pokemon. As well, I have planned sets, however; I won't include them unless asked.

Team(previous): 
- Serperior
- Rapidash
- Metagross
- Vaporeon
- Arbok
- Delcatty
- Zebstrika

Team(not final, still open for suggestions):
- Serperior
- Chandelure
- Metagross
- Vaporeon
- Nidoking
- Delcatty
- Zebstrika

Looks like a great team.

Seems like a good team. I would personally add a flying-type but that's just me.

Thank you ^^ 

@FoxRainbowHeart

I was thinking about adding a flying type, possibly Pidgeot or Dragonite, but so far I can only see about getting one of them. The dratini line isn't in the game yet.. or so the chart says. ;;

Team: (final evos)

- Serperior
- Rapidash
- Metagross
- Vaporeon
- Arbok
- Delcatty
- Zebstrika

Your team is good , but i would suggest a chandelure in place of rapidash due to its extreme high SP and considerably good moveset even without TMs.

Also i suggest nidoking/scolipede or crobat instead of your Arbok as they have much more versatile movesets giving you chance to make up tons of strategies to defeat your opponent.

Finally , I would suggest you a porygon 2 with eviolite as your normal type pokemon as it ROCKS THE BATTLES(due to being an awesome wall with cool STAB moves) and its only weakness is fighting which you can cover up with your metagross easily.

GLiscor or crobat should be more than enough.

You forgot to mention the Champions *facepalms*

 

About said champions: Gardevoir and Magnezone, they do work in reborn

Rapidash < Chandelure - I wouldn't mind switching out one for the other, though I am a bit iffy on switching out a pokemon I adore rather fondly, plus the shiny reborn has to offer is quite nice. Aside from that, Chandelure overthrows Rapidash in terms of power and versatility, and so to avoid the same conflict I had with my last run, I'll go ahead and swap them.

Arbok < Nidoking - I haven't ran with neither Nidoking nor Arbok yet, so I don't have much experience with them. I do know of Nidoking's ability to run both physical and special movesets, and even with the special stat it has, it doesn't hurt to run Thunderbolt or Ice beam on it. Arbok was planned to be a bulky physical sweeper, though I may just be able to swap them for the same role.

Delcatty > Porygon 2 - The reason I choose Delcatty over Porygon 2 is more or less just my personal opinion. Delcatty is my lead pokemon, and is possibly my most favorite pokemon aside from Serperior and Charizard(and a couple of others but eh). Porygon 2 is seen in a position both in bulk and usage higher than Delcatty, but even so, I'd like to keep my fluffy kitty with me.

Pidgeot/Dragonite > Gliscor/Crobat - Again, more of my personal opinion as to why I choose one over the other.

@Wolfox

I like both Gardevoir and Magnezone, though I don't know if I can fit both of them- So far, I've changed some members:
**bold = changed

I like that you have taken my choices into consideration. I was speaking in favor of porygon 2 as its hyper bulky with eviolite .....but ya i understand why u choose to keep delcatty!

Best of luck for your UPCOMING RUN of the game.
