6v6 Semi-Casual Tournament team help

[SolarStar]

It's about that time again, and the group of good folks I play online with are gearing up for another tournament. This time it's a 6v6 Singles format, with the only real rules being: No legendaries of any sort, and "try not to rely on cheap tactics." I'm not here to gripe about the rules though, I'm here to get some help with team stuffs so I can have a shot at the finals.

The concept I'm looking at is a team that uses Shuckle to set up Stealth Rock and Sticky Web, allowing slower but powerful types to swing in for great damage. Conkeldurr and Haxorus come to mind.

So far, I've thrown up a quick list that looks as such (Edited now):


Shuckle @ Lum Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
- Stealth Rock
- Sticky Web
- Toxic
- Infestation

Conkeldurr @ Assault Vest
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 236 SpD / 20 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Ice Punch
- Knock Off

Aggron @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 240 SpD
Impish Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Heavy Slam
- Earthquake

Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast

Sylveon (F) @ Light Clay
Ability: Pixilate
- Hyper Voice
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Wish

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split


As one can see, it's quite...incomplete, and in need of work. Any assistance would be appreciated, folks!

Lightning Edit: I forgot to mention this, but due to some weirdness (alien interference, I'd say) the tournament is restricted to X & Y, so no ORAS content will help I'm afraid.

I personally would carry Assault vest over flame orb on conk if you know you can predict a status, everything else seems rather fine but maybe replace haxorus with salamence? it has more power imo.

 

[SolarStar]

I've considered that, and it does look to be like a strong choice. Any particular way to run it, though? I'm told Hydreigon would be decent as well.

Ethier Scar Or Focus Sash DD mence, Choice specs hydreigon might be good too

Swapped in the Scarfedmence, now it looks a tad better.

btw do you have access to knock off on conkeldurr over poison jab?

 

[SolarStar]

Herp derp, can't think and edit at the same time I suppose. Knock Off is supposed to be there, not Poison Jab. XD

Also why chesto over leftovers if it's not chesto-resto rotom?

 

[SolarStar]

I'm anticipating sleep and spore shenanigans, Leftovers are on the mind though!

Ummm what else lets see... Maybe use something like Mega Venusaur instead its very bulky and solves your sleep problem. As well as give you More recovery on your mega w/ giga drain + leech seed and allowing your rotom to get away with running Leftovers

 

[SolarStar]

Mega Venusaur is quite bulky, no doubt about that, but I'd rather keep Aggron in for this tourney. Screens and Filter could be quite fun to set up, and Rest with Heal Bell on the team helps to keep him alive longer.

Nah sylveon is fine imo as he's going in mind wanting the screens, so light clay and the moveset are perfect

 

[SolarStar]

Yes, the screens are why I've got that moveset in mind. Wasn't sure whether to go with Wish or Heal Bell, but Wish seems more reliable.

Imo i think your team is ready.

 

[SolarStar]

Many thanks, I'll be sure to give it some test runs today if I can.
