Hey guys I need help on a competitive team that is centered around Mega Sceptile with Unburdened Ability. I needed advice on a great team around Sceptile in terms of nature, stats, moves, and items for competition.

Sceptile will be my Special Sweeper.

Sceptile
Unburden Ability
Timid/Modest/Hasty Nature
Giga Drain/Energy Ball/Leaf Storm
Focus Blast/Toxic
Hidden Power (Ice), Hidden Power (Rock), Rockslide
252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Attack

Scizor and Starmie would be the other two I would use, just need more advice on building the team!

Other potential Team members Scizor, Starmie, Tyranitar, Umbreon, Gengar, Greninja, Talon Flame.

First of all if u run Mega sceptile go for Overgrow not Unburden,HA is useless to Mega Sceptile and changes once u mega evolve it,now to team building.
I won't tell you want to run and such but I will give you some good pokes that can work with him,talonflame is a nice choice cause while he is weak to electric,water and rock(typings that Mega-sceptile handles easily)it resits Ice,Bug,Fairy,Flying that M-Sceptile has a problem with thus creating your core.
Starmie is an excellent choice to counter the Dragon that Sceptile has a problem if they outspeed it and ofc has a rapid spin that removes the hazards that our core hates so much.
Heatran is one of your main threats so a Sword Dance Diggerby would be more than enough to OHKO it with an earthquake.
After that I would probably go for a Kuyrem-B which can beat Rotom-W with Earth Power(which is probably one of the worst stalls youcan encounter) and take care of the Dragons that Sceptile has a problem with with Ice Beam.
Lastly a Thundurus or a Raikou for electric support and Earthquake lure can help Talon-flame set up sword Dance(provided you have a Choice Scarf opponent like Lando-T)and allow it to sweep later xD

That's what I would use tbh hope I helped xD

more importantly this thread is in the wrong spot :p do your job sheesh...

- starmie is either a good bulk with rapid spin or scarf with hydro/icebeam
-scizor is usually hyper offensive but whether its mega or not will just change the item the moveset it usually uses usually stays the same, swords dance/bullet punch/ bug bite/ roost(or type filler)
