But on the bright side, your power would never go out in a storm!

Pretty sure a swarm of Pikachu powering your electricity would cause a power outage.

But heck if their not cute.

I'm trying to get a shiny Zorua from the Masuda method, but I have many failures.
So if you ever get a Zorua named URGH off Wonder Trade, you know it's from me.

Cinccino @ Scope Lens
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Brave Nature (+Atk ,-Spd )
-Tail Slap
-Bullet Seed
-Rock Blast
-Tickle

Cinccino will serve as my physical sweeper, mainly because it knows a lot of multi hit moves. It's also normal type, so it only has one weakness. Tail Slap will allow 125 power, if it is used 5 times in a row, and same with Rock Blast, and Bullet Seed. Tickle would lower attack, but also more importantly defense, allowing the moves to become more powerful. I chose a brave nature, because even though it would lower its speed, I would EV train it in speed. The Scope Lens would hopefully cause critical hits to land more often, and Cinccino's ability, Skill Link, would make the chances of the attacks hitting 5 times more likely. (and it's really cute but that really doesn't matter )

Ampharos @ Ampharosite
Trait: Static
EVs: 120 Def/252 SpAtk/136 Spd
Modest Nature (+SpAtk ,-Atk )
-Zap Cannon
-Dragon Pulse
-Volt Switch
-Thunder

Ampharos on this team would serve as a special sweeper, which is why I chose Modest Nature, and also to EV train it in special attack. I really like Mega Ampharos, and I like the Electric/Dragon typing. I chose to EV train it in defense, because it would be extremely helpful if he didn't just die right away, and also speed, to help it go first. Zap Cannon, although it doesn't have 100% accuracy, it has a HUGE amount of power, it lowers their speed, and also will paralyze them. Dragon Pulse is nice to have, it's a good special attack. Volt Switch is in case Ampharos is in trouble, then I can attack them and switch out. Thunder is also nice to have, even though it's accuracy isn't the best.

Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP/176 Def/80 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def ,-Atk )
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-Substitute
-Giga Drain

Tangrowth is my physical wall on my team. Extremely hard to get past, and extremely annoying. Sleep Powder would be helpful because it would allow me to switch and attack the opposing Pokémon. Leech Seed will help for any HP I lose. Subsitute is annoying, and so is Giga Drain. Woohoo! I remember battling against one of these, and it took FOREVER. Regenerator will also help with HP. But yeah, extremely annoying physical wall.

Carbink @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/202 SpDef/54 Def
Gentle Nature (+SpDef ,-Def )
-Light Screen
-Calm Mind
-Reflect
-Moonblast

Carbink is my Special Wall. It has extremely high special defense and defense, but it has low HP, which is why I am EV training it in HP. Light Screen, Calm Mind, and Reflect will all reduce physical damage, and moonblast is a very powerful attack. I chose a Gentle Nature because it raises the Special Defense, but lowers Defense. This description is suckish, sorry.

Greninja @ Focus Sash
Trait: Protean
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SpAtk/252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd ,-SpDef )
-Spikes
-Hydro Pump
-Dark Pulse
-U-Turn

I couldn't find a traplayer that I liked, so I'm using Greninja. Greninja will be used as a traplayer, and also a special attacker. Its Focus Sash would help it not faint. The nature is Naive because if it's mainly just a traplayer, they're supposed to die anyways, so defense isn't extremely important. I trained it in both attack and speed, because speed is important. Spikes is for entry hazards. Hydro Pump and Dark Pulse are the special attacks, and U-Turn is in an emergency. It's trait is protean because protean is awesome.

Meowstic (Male) @ Light Clay
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP/126 Def/126 SpDef
Impish Nature (+Def ,-SpAtk )
-Toxic
-Misty Terrain
-Light Screen
-Confusion

Meowstic is used as a crippler, but also somewhat a defensive wall. Meowstic's ability, Prankster, would allow toxic to be prioritized, which is why I chose it. Misty Terrain is to be used after Toxic, to avoid any status conditions in return. Light Screen is mainly for defense, and confusion is helpful, mainly because confusion can be very annoying. I chose an Impish Nature, mainly because none of these moves are offensive, so attack is not important. That is also why I did not EV train it in Attack or Special Attack.

I made it small to take up way less space.

Hm, not exactly what I would call expertly made, but I will help you with this team. You have a very big weakness: Scizor. If Ampharos is gone, Scizor absolutely wreaks havoc on your team. I believe a good solution to this would be Physically defensive Rotom-Wash. You can burn Scizor before it gets to do any major damage to your team. I would also replace Meowstic with Espeon.With Magic Guard, you can easily bounce back any status or hazards. You should definitely use dual screens on Espeon. I would also replace Zap Cannon on Ampharos with Focus blast, which allows you to hit Steel types harder. I would also replace Thunder with thunderbolt, since Thunder's accuracy is unreliable. However, you now have a susceptible special attacker weakness. I would solve this by replacing Tangrowth with Specially defensive Mega Venusaur. Mega Venusaur is incredibly bulky and can hit rather hard too. I believe the best moveset would be Sludge Bomb, Synthesis, Earthquake, Giga Drain with 252 hp evs and 252 spdef evs. With Thick Fat, Mega Venusaur can take Fire and Ice moves a lot better than Tangrowth would. Anyways, that's the end of my extremely long “guide” there, but I hope I helped!

I'm no competitive battler, but here:

You'll want a fire type. Ampharos is your most powerful Pokemon, IMO, but a Ground/Fire Pokemon along with a Grass or Electric Pokemon could potentially wipe out Ampharos along with Greninja. I personally never use the multi-hit moves since they're so weak, and I try to avoid Normal-types because they have no resistances but one weakness.

I would replace Ampharos with Choice Scarf Chandelure because it is an absolutely devastating special attacker, with Choice scarf helping it outspeed things that are normally faster than it.

Not unless he mega evolves Ampharos which then becomes dragon electric.

I already have a Celebi from a distribution a few years back, so I didn't really need it.
I guess I could put it on the GTS and try and get something for it, though.

Dragon's not resistant to Ground.

What Pokemon would you guys like to eat? (cooked any way)
Why didn't I think of Swirlix?
Mmmm.

What pokemon would make the best steak? xD
Either Miltank or Tauros, most likely Miltank.
Milsteak? XD
Couple odd things in Pokemon:well,actually, plants hatch from eggs ( examples: Lileep and exeggcutor)

Miltank can learn the move Milk Drink, but cannot give you Moomoo Milk.
Eggs hatch out of eggs (Exeggcute).
Mammal-like Pokemon hatch out of eggs (e.g. Lillipup, Miltank)
Out of one egg comes two technical Pokemon (Kangaskhan)
Contrary to Cubone's Pokedex entry, it hatches with a skull on its head immediately.

…and more.
