The star of the team. LO Clefable is an absolute terror pressing all defensive cores. There are very few switch in against this beast. The opponent has to predict a lot to avoid at least one KO. There is a real predict battle: if your opponent win you lose just a little momentum but if you win he loses his mon.
Moonblast STAB,with LO boost 2KO Seismitoad
Flamethrower and thunderbolt to keep your pressure against Tox, Corvi, Ferro, Exca
Modest nature to max damage.
Moonlight is for maximize Clefable longevity during the match, allowing him to switch in more times
The Evs in speed are to outspeed max speed Conck and KO him with moonblast
Clefable has difficulty against faster pokemon that even if in theory she could beats on the switch, avoid the KO with a good prediction and can KO her in return like
Excadrill, Bisharp, Obstagoon, Ttar.
Corvinight covers Clef weaknesses resisting Steel and with a key Immunity to Poison and Ground.
Corvi take care of all these physical threats, kill them and recover damages with roost.
He is also an utility monster for the other members being the best defogger in the meta.
Bave Bird to Break Subs and to beat Kommo, Conckeldurr, random Grass Types and hit for neutral damages the majority of the meta.
Body press kills Exca, Ttar, Obstagoon, Bisharp
With investiment in speed Corvi outspeed and KO Conckeldurr with some previous chip damages
This stupid frog. I don't like this a lot but unfortunately he is necessary.
He covers Corvi weaknesses to fire and electric, he is the main answer to Rotom - W and Rotom - H (that Clef can't beat), Dracovish, Dracozolt and Cinderace with immunities to Water and Electric and a resistence to Fire.
He has not recovery moves and this is really bad because Cinderace, Zolt and Vish can slowly damage him with U - Turn and coverage moves. Leftover + protect help a bit and is also useful with toxic.
Toxic cripple Bulky waters like Vaporeon, Gastrodon, Quagsire, other Seismitoad, Sylveon and every sweeper without an immunity on the switch
Rest Snorlax covers all special sweepers that Toad and Corvi can't counter.
With max Investment in SDef, Leftovers, Rest a Ghost Immunity and also Think Fat, Snorlax Counter Fairies (except Psyshock users), Ghosts and all other Special Sweeper. He stomachs Moonblast, Hyper Voice, Shadow Ball, Fire Blast and spread paralysis with STAB Body Slam which 3 KO fairies or KO Ghosts with Darkest Lariat.
Note: Snorlax outspeed paralyzed Clefable and Sylveon
Think fat allows snorlax to tank better Hail and Sun team (especially Vanilluxe and Nasty Plot Ninetales) and Infiltator Chandelure
With Curse he can destroy defensive cores who lacks haze, fights bulk up sweepers 1 vs 1 or simply sweep in late game.
Snorlax forms also a solid Normal-Fairy Core who complitely stops SubDD Dragapult.
SD Aegislash is pretty versatile here.
His main role is to kill fairies with Iron Head but he is also a great Revenge Killer with shadow sneaks of pokemon like Dragapult, Gengar, Excadrill and all offensive sweeper weeked that don't resist it.
He can become a fearsome late game sweeper after a few set ups.
Leftovers is to recover rock's damages and to guarantee longevity avoiding Aegislash to check consistently fairies during the match.
Close Combat is a solid coverage option to Revenge kill Cloyster and Crawdaunt and to punish a lot of switch in especially if you bluff a choised set in early game
The last mon is Haxorus. The team was a bit slow and I needed a scarfer.
Haxorus revenge kills Scarf Excadrill, Obstagoon, Tyranitar, Cinderace, Crawdaunt and Togekiss.
With dual chop he kills Sub Sweepers like Belly Drumm Kommo O and Sub DD Gyarados who sweeps the other members
He kills non Scarf Hydreigon and Dragapult
With Mold Breaker he his the Mimikyu and Rotom's Killer.
That's all, thanks for reading, hope for some suggestions.

Cinderace: not a really threat but is a bit annoynig because damages Toad with U - Turn every time. Protect helps a lot to recover damages. Can be killed with prediction or with Haxorus (scarf set is unexpected)
Rotom - Mow: like Cinderace not a real threat but a bit annoying because breaks the defensive core Corvi+Toad. Snorlax can check him and beat 1 vs 1 but if rotom is paired with other mons who put a lot of pressure on snorlax he become annoying
Sub Nasty Plot Togekiss: difficult to counter. The best play is send snorlax breaking the sub with body Slam and paralyze him if you are not flinched down. If snorlax faints Haxorus revenge kills Toge with Iron Tail
Leech Seed + Gyro ball Ferrothorn: Annoying because can ko Clef with predict and force a lot of switch out recoverying damages
Trick users: a bit annoying especially Obstagoon because can cripples Corvi on the switch. Haxorus can Revenge kills him or Corvi can OKHO with Body press if he stay in
Conckeldurr: not a real threat. He is annoying only if his team members put huge pression on Corvi or Clef
Stall: Unware and haze are near impossible to beat if paired with other useful defensive mons
Rotom - Mow: like Cinderace not a real threat but a bit annoying because breaks the defensive core Corvi+Toad. Snorlax can check him and beat 1 vs 1 but if rotom is paired with other mons who put a lot of pressure on snorlax he become annoying
Sub Nasty Plot Togekiss: difficult to counter. The best play is send snorlax breaking the sub with body Slam and paralyze him if you are not flinched down. If snorlax faints Haxorus revenge kills Toge with Iron Tail
Leech Seed + Gyro ball Ferrothorn: Annoying because can ko Clef with predict and force a lot of switch out recoverying damages
Trick users: a bit annoying especially Obstagoon because can cripples Corvi on the switch. Haxorus can Revenge kills him or Corvi can OKHO with Body press if he stay in
Conckeldurr: not a real threat. He is annoying only if his team members put huge pression on Corvi or Clef
Stall: Unware and haze are near impossible to beat if paired with other useful defensive mons

: i know that they peform different roles (Hydreigon is special and Exca physical) but Exca is also a very good scarfer that can beat every rotom form, Sylveon, and Cinderace.

Rotom-Wash covers all Clefable's weakness except poison (that is already covered by exca, aegi and toad), can cripple physical attackers with will-o-wisp or thunder wave and checks Gyarados without Power Whip.
