Attempting to put together a team center d around a defensive core of dusclops and Snorlax. The idea is that clops, with pure ghost typing, high defense, and wil-o-wisp, makes for an excellent switch in against most physical attackers, weakening them with burn to soften them up, and Snorlax makes for an excellent switch in to special attackers, as well as a win-con with curse.
The rest of the team is pretty much built around supporting this core, with magneton to clear skarmory and fortress, fortress to spin, rack up spike damage from how often the core will (ideally) force offensive Pokemon to switch, and houndoom as a perfect answer to Gengar, which Snorlax invites in constantly. Finally, Dragonite is filling the last slot, as the heal bell/aromatherapy user I've found the most success with. Sunny day is present on magneton and houndoom to help doom power through special walls and resists, as well as clear sand for lax and clops.
Dragonite is especially flexible, but I'm open to changing around any member of the team, other than lax and clops of course.
I'm struggling a lot to answer tyranitar cleanly, the fatboys can work together to take out pretty much any Ttar set, but that requires me guessing the set correctly, and with no solid rock resists, that usually costs a Pokemon. Swampert can sometimes be an issue if it comes out after lax or clops has been pressured heavily, but they can usually tag team pert as long as they aren't too worn down.
I've experimented with a few other options, mostly in who is carrying the trifecta of spikes/spin/heal bell supporting moves. Roselia can carry both spikes and aromatherapy, plus leech seed, and slots in nicely with claydoll for a more defensive spinner, or hitmontop for a firm Ttar switch-in. Vileplume can take advantage of the sun and carry aromatherapy as well. Blissey can pass wish as well as heal bell, plus takes some of the pressure off of Snorlax against teams with a lot of special attackers. This is the build I've found the most success with though. Thoughts on how to improve the team? Bonus points if you recognize the nickname theme!
