I am building a steel type competative team. my team so far isempolem, skarmory , Metagross, magnezone, lucario, ferrothorn.
If you want steelix is good as he can use fire and steel.
I'd say add Excadrill to the team. He's got pretty decent stats and a nice learnset. Otherwise Probopass works pretty well
Good choice in pokemon. As for moves and EVs and all that... its kinda up to how exactly you wanna play your steel team, but heres what I can think up off the top of my head: Empoleon: Mixed Attacker. Swords Dance and Aqua Jet for strong priority attacking, with two special attacks (preferrably one water and one other non steel non water attack) Skarmory: Physical wall. Skarmory is know to be an amazing physical wall. So pump HP and defense EVs into it. Impish nature is best, and try to get Roost, Whirlwind, and Brave Bird on it. Stealth Rock or Spikes for entry hazard damage. Metagross: Physical attacker. Bullet Punch is nice since Metagross is kinda slow, and Hammer Arm is decent since it hardly cares about a speed drop. Earthquake and Zen Headbutt aren't bad either. Magnezone: Bulky Special Attacker. The teams a really physical one, so having a special attacker is nice so other physical walls don't mess you up too bad. Its main attacking moves should be Thunderbolt and Flash Cannon. Sturdy and Magnet Pull are both good abilities, which one you go with is up to you. Lucario: Physical Sweeper. Max out Lucario's Attack and Speed EVs, its defenses are too low for it to take repeated hits. Close Combat and Extremespeed are Lucario staples. The other 2 moveslots depend on you. An elemental punch is good for coverage. Earthquake... is Earthquake, its good to have. There's other options too. Ferrothorn: Ferrothorn has a number of options, usually involving its great bulk. Look this one up on Smogon. Other good steel types would include: Bronzong, Scizor, Forretress. Excadrill is good, but its far better in a sandstorm team than on an all steel team (Sand Rush+Swords Dance+Focus Sash+Attack=death). Hope this helps.
