If you ask what the standard team is, chances are you're not really knowledgeable enough to state a Pokemon's moveset either. Double Team and Minimize are banned during most tournaments, and Swift is a very retarded move anyway. Sandslash is pretty vulnerable to whatever is dangerous with evasion (Chansey is the main example).
I'm pretty sure you don't really need Rock Slide unless you fear Articuno. Swords Dance, Body Slam, Hyper Beam, Earthquake. You could put Slash in there for instant power versus Exeggutor though.
Tauros is really the only Pokemon I view as "on every serious team" (though I've seen ones without it). Chansey is kinda necessary otherwise you need to stall out Starmie with your Alakazam, and Exeggutor just guarantees you get in Sleep Powder unless you lead with it and get it put to sleep by an opposing sleep lead. You don't need a Rock/Ground per se but they just come in very handy.
