I want to battle with my favorite Pokemon, but I suck and it seems like everybody I battle uses legendaries. Is there any way to make my team better?

You can try a gimmick team? You won't be on top of the rank ladder but it can caught a lot of people off guard.

Depend.. What's your favorite? If it's a Ledian or something, you are screw. If it's something like Shuckle or Dunspace then you can make them work.

Flygon and Galvantula are bro-tier so they're not going anywhere, but I could probably budge on the others

Any tips for legendaries? Those seem to be my biggest problem

May as well run outrage on flygon if it's scarf.

Super fang is terrible, try taunt.

Ice shard over hydro pump

Other than that, gitgud

No, it really isn't. If anything fairies have made it better, it cancels as they switch in you see allowing you to switch out. It's scarfed anyway.

Your team is terrible for trick room, apart from Porygon none of those guys are slow. Outrage is acceptable on Flygon because Flygon needs the extrs power to do anything.
Also, I would not use everything that the other guy suggested.

Flygon - Adamant OR Jolly/Levitate/Choice Scarf - 252 atk 252 spe 4 hp - Dragon Claw - U-Turn - Earthquake - Stone Edge

Galvantula - Timid/Focus Sash/Compoundeyes/252 spatk 252 spe 4 def - Thunder - Bug Buzz - HP Ground OR Volt switch - Sticky Web

Porygon 2 - Modest/Eviolite/Download OR trace/252 hp, rest depends if yu wanna go bulky or attacking - Toxic OR tri attack - Recover - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam

Crobat - Jolly/Black Sludge/Infiltrator/252spe rest decides if you wanna go bulky or attacking - Brave Bird - Toxic - Roost - Defog OR taunt

Cloyster - Adamant OR Jolly/White Herb OR Focus sash/Skill Link/252 spe 252 atk 4 def - Rock Blast - Icicle Spear - Hydro Pump - ShellSmash

Why HP Ground for Galvuntula? You should be more worry about not hitting ground type since your party have Blaziken and Flygon to deal with Fire Type.

Giga Drain/Energy Ball probably will be a better choice for him. Other choice would be Thunder Wave and Voltswitch for utility.

I would get rid of Toxic on for another coverage. But that just my preference.

you likely dont know much about ivs and possibly evs. the best pokemon are garbage without proper ivs/ev training. look it up and breed your favourites, then give them the moves people recommended. im sure you'll be about to take on most legend teams if you do

Let's see... Your party is really lacking in Priority move.

Your Blaziken is pretty much a Talonflame bait so don't lead with him if you saw one in the enemy team.

You Galvuntula will be walled by Rotom-W if you keep HP Ground.

I know Super Training does EVs, but I usually just do Attack/Sp. + Speed. I'll look into it

>>18696560
I usually lead with Flygon because he hits hard and has U-Turn

252 SpA Galvantula Hidden Power Grass vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Rotom-W: 74-88 (24.3 - 28.9%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
Seriously plan this shit out first. Some pokemon get walled by Rotom, just have at least 1-2 things for it though.
HP water/ground is fine on Galv OP.
