    Crap, really? Hmmm... Maybe you should replace Psycho Cut on Absol for Taunt.

    You can also put Trick on another poke. Maybe replace Musharna with a Scarf Gardevoir and give Sawk a Choice Band. Here's Gardevoir's set:

    Gardevoir @Choice Scarf
    Trait: Synchronize
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
    Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
    -Psyshock
    -Shadow Ball
    -Focus Blast/Hidden Power (Fighting)
    -Trick

    Thanks, man. I appreciate it. ^_^

    Speaking of monotype, I've been trying to build a mono-Steel team. When I test it on the ladder, what should I look out for?
    Majestic Electric
    Golem's EVs: 252 Atk/4 SpD/252 Spe and Adamant Nature

    Alomomola's EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SpD and Impish Nature

    Amoonguss' EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 SpA and Bold Nature

    For Golem, the Sucker Punch one is still the best to use.

    On Alomomola, use Protect in the last slot.

    I'd go with Hidden Power Ice on Amoonguss for the nice surprise factor, plus Giga Drain already restores health.

    Sawk looks good. Use Ice Punch in the last slot. You should probably have Choice Scarf for the item, too.

    Use this set for Absol:

    Absol @Life Orb
    Trait: Super Luck
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)
    -Sucker Punch
    -Night Slash
    -Superpower
    -Psycho Cut

    Yes, Klang. XD You'd be surprised how effective it is with Eviolite.

    Eelektross, definitely. Absol/Musharna/Sawk is a great core and checks a lot of threats in NU.
    Majestic Electric
    Yes! :) He forms the Regenerator core with Amoonguss and provides support with Wish.

    Like I said earlier, you can also try Golurk or Sawk. I'd mostly recommend Sawk because your team looks like it will struggle against Dark-types. He can also check Steels, Rocks, and Cincinno.
    Majestic Electric
    Well, by the looks of the team, I wouldn't put Haunter. I think Golurk is a good option in there. I recommend the Choice Band set. :)

    From what I can see, your team is really weak to Samurott. He's one of NU's most common threats! The only poke on your team that can reliably check him is Amoonguss. Since you aren't sure about whether to use him or Garbodor, I would sugggest Amoonguss for that spot.
    Majestic Electric
    Hmm...I think Golem is your best bet. It can also set up Stealth Rock for you, too. Just be careful of Ground-types. They'll wreck you if Eelektross goes down early.

    Also, for a Grass-type, you can also try Cacturne. It gives you a Psychic, Ground, and Water resist and can set up Spikes.

    Btw, NU doesn't really have any good spinners, with the only exception being Armaldo. Spinning is almost non-existent down there. -_-
    Majestic Electric
    Good choice! :) However, you probably should replace Electabuzz since it would be unnecessary to have 2 Electric-types on your team. It's your choice though, so I won't stop you if you use both.

    Also, about Cottonee, no one has used it in NU. Either way, there are better choices for a Grass-type such as Jumpluff, Amoonguss, Sawsbuck, and Vileplume.
    Majestic Electric
    Like I said earlier, I'd recommend using Garbodor or Amoonguss instead of Arbok. Originality is good, but Arbok will only hold you back. Plus, he will make you more weak to Ground. It's outclassed by other Poison-types in NU.

    Anyway, for Ground resists, Eelektross is a good option. It has Levitate and is a great U-turner. Rotom-S is also viable, as it also has Levitate and it's typing gives it a 4x resistance to Ground (lol). You can also try Moxie Pinsir. However, it will give you a Stealth Rock weakness, as will Rotom-S.
