I want to build a team of strong iv trained Pokemon but I'm not sure on which Pokemon to pick and train, if anyone has any suggestion on which Pokemon to pick and are good for competitive battling then that would be helpful.

I just like to follow a general rule for my play style maybe it might work for you too. I usually have 1 defensive wall and one sp defensive wall and have 2 attackers along with 2 special attackers. Also when doing this make sure you have good coverage for any possible pokemon that are a problem for your team and also make sure to not have a lot of similair weaknesses. I am sure you can go through a list of OU , BL, and UU pokemon that meat the needs of everything I just mentioned. Make a list of ones you like that coincide with what I just mentioned and I will help you revise it.

Well first you have to pick the pokemon to be the main pokemon. I usually start with a choice scarf poke or a setup sweeper. Then you pick the cores that cover weaknesses and another sweeper for the opposite attacking stat. Next, I would go over my overall weaknesses for each type on my team and change the pokemon that benifit least and put pokemon that an do the same thing but with a better type for your team or some kind of move.

Garchomp 252 Attack, 252 HP, 6 Sp.Defence (Sandstorm)

the only pokemon that has an item is charizard and thats his megastone, i don't know what items to use on the others?

ah well knowing the items was going to let me suggest what you should use or not use. You only got 4 pokemon and yet you got a lot of overlapping weaknesses....you're probably going to have to drop some . I would suggest you can keep charizard but make it charizard X and put a scarf on chomp
