Apparently a bulky team, looking for advice.

I'm working towards building this team in-game, but only Volcarona is 100% done, so I'm open to suggestions.

Mamoswine
-Ice Shard
-Endeavor
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Snow Cloak
Natue: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

This seemed like a nice aggressive lead that can set up Stealth Rock, so...yeah.

Volcarona
-Quiver Dance
-Bug Buzz
-Fiery Dance
-Psychic
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Flame Body
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

As I said before, this is the one I already finished training. I know Hidden Power would be nice, but breeding for the perfect IVs is a nightmare I don't want to get into. Volcarona is beastly once it gets one or two boosts in, not to mention it's an awesome little bug.

Scizor
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite
-Roost
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Technician
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 SpD

What's better than a sweeping bug? Two sweeping bugs, of course! Scizor is beastly.

Hydreigon
-Draco Meteor
-Dragon Pulse
-Flamethrower
-Surf
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Modest
EVs: 64 HP / 252 SpA / 192 Spe

Hydreigon hits hard and helps absorb the fire attacks that are aimed at Mamoswine and Scizor. Not much else to say.

Vaporeon
-Wish
-Protect
-Scald
-Roar
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Bold
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD

Vaporeon can absorb those water attacks that can be aimed at Mamoswine and Volcarona, and also provides healing to everything that needs it.

Conkeldurr
-Bulk Up
-Drain Punch
-Mach Punch
-Payback / Stone Edge
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Guts
Nature: Brave
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 SpD

So, to fill in the complete lack of fighting coverage, Conkeldurr goes in the last slot to fill in as a bulky guy. I'm not sure which of Payback or Stone Edge is better at this point, or even if Conkeldurr is a good fit for this team at all.

My biggest concerns with the set are the lack of speed on the team and the fact that I have 3 boosting attackers. I do like how bulky the Pokemon on this set are overall, though.
 
3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

Your descriptions are lacking, which means you are violating the above quoted RMT rule. If you wish to remedy this problem, explain your reasoning behind each Pokemon and why they work on your team more thoroughly. Try to aim for 3-4 sentences with your descriptions. I recommend lurking through the RMT Archive in order to see examples of what we're looking for in an RMT! If you fix this problem, private message me indicating that you have done so. Once you've done that, I will unlock your thread.
