After looking at some of the new 'mons in Sun and Moon, I found a particular 'mon or two I thought I'd like to try out, and I tried to make a team centering around them. But... I'm having trouble figuring out the rest of the team.
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Regenerator
252 HP / 252 Sp. Def / 4 Defense
Calm Nature
-Baneful Bunker
-Recover
-Toxic Spikes
-Scald
I just really like this thing's design okay. Also, Regenerator with Recover and defensive stats like that, with such a great typing... I just felt like this thing could be incredibly tiresome and annoying, if played right. Problem is, I'm not entirely sure if I'm playing it right; Toxic Spikes seems kinda repetitive after Baneful Bunk, though if I'm using it as a Special wall perhaps not as much so. Haze is also a good move I'd like to consider using, though I've never used it before myself. With a defensive stat like that, though, I might just replace Baneful Bunker with Haze.
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Toxic Heal
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Speed
Impish Nature
-Roost
-Knock Off
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock
Forms the other half of my defensive core, Gliscor is immune to almost everything Toxapex is weak to (save for psychic, but I'mma come back to that) and Toxapex's own resistances cover for Gliscor's weaknesses. Knock Off is there to annoy my opponent, Earthquake for STAB, Roost for recovery, and Stealth Rock because entry hazards are cool.
Umbreon @ Leftovers
Synchronize
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Speed
Impish Nature
Foul Play
Wish
Protect
Heal Bell
Cleric, with a pretty standard Umbreon cleric set. I don't have much else to say here, though I did specifically choose Umbreon for being a dark type to cover Toxapex's other weakness. Meanwhile, both Toxapex and Gliscor resist fighting and bug types, and Toxapex itself can also cover for its Fairy weakness.
Mimikyu @ Life Orb
Disguise
252 Att / 252 Speed / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
-Play Rough
-Shadow Sneak
-Will-o-Wisp
-Swords Dance
Set-up physical sweeper? Sure, let's go with that. Disguise is a very handy ability and if I can get even two Swords Dance off, I don't think many would live to tell the tale. Except maybe Bisharps. And Poison/Dark types. But that's why I got myself a Gliscor~
As you can see, it's only four 'mons so far and I'm not entirely sure who else I'd want to use. Obviously at the moment I'd likely need some sort of Special attacker, though I dunno who'd fit well on my team. I also feel like Umbreon and Toxapex could easily become Taunt bait, though that's kind of the life of a wall/cleric with the 4 moves limit and stuff.
