Other Tier Shift Gimmick...ish Stall Team

Well, this is the second Rate My Team thread, the other being about a silly Smogon Doubles shit gimmick team. This team is also a gimmick team, but for Tier Shift, and it is fairly reasonable compared to my last one: this time, I built a full wish pass team. Here it is:

Alomomola
Alomomola was a natural choice for wish passing: it had Regenerator, it has Wish, and it's HP is big as hell. Simple, yet effective. I chose it for these reasons. I mean, even in standard play, it sees a small amount of usage. Being an S-rank in Tier Shift is natural. It may be epic, but it does hate electric types, which my team has pretty much nothing to stop.

audino.gif
Audino
Audino is pretty much the normal type equivalent of Alomomola: it has Regenerator, it has Wish, and it has a big HP stat. Although it doesn't have as high amount of HP as Alomomola, it has Heal Bell. Also simple, yet effective. Although simple and effective, normal breeds no resistances (barring a ghost immunity) and a weakness to fighting. Unlike electric, I have a fairly easy time blocking out fighting types.

chansey.gif
Chansey
No stall team in pretty much any metagame Chansey is allowed in is complete without the pink blob herself: Natural Cure, the second biggest HP stat, Eviolite, Wish, AND Heal Bell, she can REALLY support her team. Also, Stealth Rocks really helps stall teams like this in general. She gets those as well. Very nice in general. She hates fighting types like Audino, but still. However, she does dislike them a bit more because of less physical bulk. Luckily, Sally fixes this problem a bit.

xatu.gif
Xatu
While Xatu doesn't have ludicrous HP stats like the first three, it does have Magic Bounce, which at times can be even more handy. Wish was obvious for my little theme. It could also have U-turn, which is always nice: even stall teams have to have some offensive momentum, and U-turn provides that momentum. Very nice, although the lack off a massive HP stat does hinder it.


aromatisse.gif
Aromatisse
Aromatisse has a solid HP stat and Aromatherapy, which always helps. Hey, it never hurts to have excess sources of status removal. Also, I might have needed some defense against rain, so I sort of added on Thunder. Thunder is useless, it will go. However, I don't really know what to replace it with, so.....yeah. I don't know if it really needs that move to be an attack, but I don't think I can replace it with Trick Room, and I can't think of any other good support moves it can learn. Some advice would be helpful.

salamence.gif
Salamence
Before I added Sally, I didn't have a clue what to add to my team. I ended up choosing Sally because of Defog and offense. Although it only uses Dragon Claw for offense, it is better than nothing. Also, Intimidate comes in handy for physical wall breakers. Ice is a problem, especially things like Mega Abomasnow, which can go mixed. Also a problem is that only one thing has the ability to stop ice types, and that is Alomomola, who can easily be stopped by two ice types: Rotom-Frost and Mega Abomasnow.

That's it! If you would please rate my team, that would help. Even better would be to suggest replacements. But please don't say I don't have enough recovery!

Edit: This thread would've been locked if i didn't add more details, so I added more in.

Hi there we know each other from the othermetas room and I'm here to rate your team. It has a pretty decent structure but appears incredibly weak to choice banded Sawk with Poison Jab, because of this I recommend Spiritomb over Audino or Granbull over aromatisse to deal with sawk easier because they are two of Sawk's greatest counters and add a good amount of synergy to your team. Secondly I'd say that you need to add Amoonguss over Salamence honestly there is really no reason to run a tier shift stall team without Amoonguss as it forms possibly the best core in the meta in the form of the infamous alomomoonguss core. Now without salamence you are going to need some hazard control which is why I would add Gligar over Xatu or Audino if you picked Granbull Gligar is a really sturdy wall and does a lot of things for your team. It can provide Stealth Rock, Defog, and momentum! Also Since Gligar is using Stealth Rock use Softboiled over stealth rock on chansey.
Spiritomb @ Black Glasses
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Foul Play
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pursuit

Granbull @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Heal Bell
- Play Rough
- Roar
- Toxic

Amoonguss @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Clear Smog
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Giga Drain
- Spore

Gligar @ Eviolite
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Impish Nature
- Defog
- Roost
- U-turn
- Stealth Rock
Have a nice day!

Thanks for the advice! I'mm make sure that I'll take all this into consideration.
 
Like Ranger Mike said, Choice Band Sawk is a threat (it actually OHKOs most of your team, and 2HKOs the rest). Add either his suggested Spiritomb or his Granbull, or add physically defensive Cresselia over Xatu (and if you keep Xatu I would switch Drill Peck to Psyshock or Psychic). Your team is also single-handedly destroyed by Tail Glow Rest Manaphy in rain as nothing can really do much to it. Ranger Mikes Amoongus could do something to it, but I would recomend Mega Venusaur as it does not have an Ice weakness. May add more later
