Hello, I am looking for advice on this team.
First time creating a thread here so please tell me if I do anything wrong and I will edit accordingly. English isn't my mother tongue so please forgive any mistakes.
I already know some of these pokemons could be replaced by more competitive pokemons, but I want to make a competitive team out of pokemon I actually like this time, while always trying to keep a good balance between defense and offense.
I'm pretty happy with the state of the team as a whole and it works all right even though it can't wreck every Aegislash / Talonflame / usual suspects x4 team out there.
I'd really love some advice on what I could improve as a whole without changing the Pokemons. I'm still hesitating between different moves for Mega-Lopunny, Togekiss and Gengar so that's the main reason I'm creating this thread.
Any input is welcomed!

I'm still hesitating between Competitive and Marvel Scale... It seems every time I try Competitive I get a status and every time I try Marvel Scale, I get Intimidated. I'd like some input on that.
My main special sweeper. It works really well with Shadow / Sludge / Thunder, but I'm still unsure about the last slot. I like having a healing move on Gengar since he can't tank but Destiny Bond is always helpful.

Thanks for looking at my post and thanks in advance for your responses.

Milotic is one of my favorite pokemon and I wanted to start the team with a physically defensive pokemon that can still punish opponents. Bold Nature and Rocky Helmet on one hand and Mirror Coat on the other seem to be a good mixed defense system.
I'm still hesitating between Competitive and Marvel Scale... It seems every time I try Competitive I get a status and every time I try Marvel Scale, I get Intimidated. I'd like some input on that.
I'm taking the opportunity to use the new hidden ability which, coupled with the spread, allow Dragonite to survive more than before while still being effective. I needed one Fire move user to counter Steel and I wanted at least one great priority move in my team so Extreme Speed is perfect here.
My mega-stone user. Always loved this pokemon, but it wasn't very viable before the stone obviously. This is one of the Pokemon where I'd like the most advice. I hesitated a long time with Fake Out / Substitute / Thunder Punch. I already have Milotic, Togekiss and Dragonite against Dragons so Ice Punch could be traded for Thunder Punch? Drain Punch is really useful to recover from a Protect on HJK. I was also thinking about having Power Up Punch behind that Substitute, but I can't have them all, I guess.
I've always wanted to use a Togekiss competitively, even with all its weaknesses, one of which I'm trying to lessen with this Wacan Berry but I guess a Sitrus could work too. I originally wanted to use Baton Pass on it and switch to Gengar / Milotic but surviving long enough can be problematic. The combo Flying / Fairy works well though. I don't know if I should keep Roost to recover from the Nasty Plot turn where I usually take damage or take Heal Bell to support the team further. Any advice is welcomed!
At this point, I had 2 special (Milotic / Togekiss) and 2 physical (Dragonite / Lopunny) and while looking at my favorite physical attackers, I remembered Breloom and I always wanted to try a Poison Heal set instead of Technician. It works well since most people expect the opposite these days.
