This team built around Regi Steel one of my favorite pokemon(that isn’t banned) and then I put the rest of my team together to support him. I added status effects, mainly burn and poison so that regi can then wall, and stall. Lastly I put some attackers to do damage of their own. This team has had a mixture in terms of success mainly putting it on here due to im hoping people can help fine tune the team and point out what I should change to make the team more efficient. One thing I do notice is that my Pokemon do seem to have a rough time when a heal bell pokemon is on the team...I can still beat it, just takes alot longer.

Tentacruel is my lead to set up toxic spikes, aside from that his use is more trivial. Rapid spin to get rid of entry hazards, protect to scout incoming attacks, and scald is hit STAB also if the poison didn’t get to them then the burn works just as well also. I Kinda count Tentacruel as my Suicide leader, since his use on the team is very minimal, and my reasoning for putting him on the team over other common spikes/rapid spinners is due to having to many of the same type weakness.

Sleep Talk
He is my main Pokemon of this team and who I base my teams around. I use his classic Mono attack set with a slightly different ev spread, and nature. Since Regi will be getting boosts in his defence I did not see the point in putting many ev’s into that stat instead into his S.Def so it can take a few more hits on the special side. The Strategy is pretty straight forward curse up, then heal up with rest, and sleep talk, simple yet effective and has made many people rage.

Gyrados is more of a mid-to-late game sweeper with his moxie ability, picking off weakened mons and gaining more attack as he kills them. The Sub and d-dance mainly come in if, many of my opponents pokemon have been paralyzed or whenever I am not to worried about being ohkoed,after a single DD he can do some pretty goot damage to many pokemon, that hopefully have a status issue.

Dusclops is my second of 2 roles, he is a semi wall and my burner tho being poisoned is better i personally find, steel and poison types are not affected by it so I will burn them i figured that relying on just one type of status will lead to openings especially when being faced with a common steel and poison typing pokemon...heatran and gliscor are 2 examples, if by some chance im able to outspeed gliscor(which has happened before enough to be reliable) i burn him so his poison heal doesnt kick in.

Dragonite is my parashifter/poison shifter with spikes out and his multiscale in play he can set up a sub then use dragon tail to shift them away(with spikes on the ground) the thunder wave is used for poke who are more a threat if they attack first. Roost his healing move when D-nite’s hp starts to dip low. Eject Button (tho most people would run a other item) I put in to do a “double” shift or even make them do a shift while I try to set up substitute throwing people off their game abit Aside from that I made his build more on the bulky side over the speed or damage side since being a shuffler with a negative priority move speed is almost pointless.

Mamoswine is my late game sweeper and one of my biggest factors i thought about was picking choice band over LO, I had run into times when he did get out-speed by other mons and with the lower hp getting ohkoed. Also I figured since he was a late game mainly he didnt have to worry to much about pokemon resisting him to much and focus on spamming Ice shard mainly for the rest of the round (unless they are weak towards EQ or SE)
Changes, I have tested this abit seeing as i do need a special sweeper also
Dnite->Thunduras-T
and changed Icicle crash for superpower, and subbed out my choice item for a life orb, latios/latias didnt seem to fit in so i tried a diffrent special sweeper, and personally didnt think it fits that well.
