Timid Nature

Hey! I see you're going for a Sticky Web offense team and it's pretty decent already, there are just a few Pokemon changes and some set changes I'd like you to consider.

MAJOR CHANGES

->

Mega Diancie

Diancie-Mega @ Diancite
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid / Naive Nature
- Moonblast
- Earth Power
- Mystical Fire
- Spikes / Diamond Storm

Mega Diancie is essential to check Fighting-types and has no competition as the best Mega-Evolution for Rock. It has excellent coverage and offers additional entry hazards in Spikes. It also threatens Mega Sableye for Shuckle.

Iron Thorns

/

Iron Thorns @ Air Balloon / Loaded Dice
Ability: Quark Drive
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge / Rock Blast
- Wild Charge / Pin Missile
- Earthquake / Fire Punch / Ice Punch
- Dragon Dance

Minior

Minior @ White Herb
Ability: Shields Down
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant / Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake
- Shell Smash

Considering the removal of Nihilego, both Iron Hands and Minior can offer coverage against Grass but also other coverage of their own. Iron Hands is a nice asset in the Water matchup while Minior aids against Fighting-types alongside Mega Diancie.

->

Tyranitar

Tyranitar @ Choice Band
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
- Pursuit / Superpower / Fire Punch
- Earthquake / Heavy Slam

Obviously with the addition of Mega Diancie, you're simply unable to use Mega Tyranitar, however, base Tyranitar preforms the same role but better due to it's Choice Band.

MINOR CHANGES

Shuckle

Shuckle @ Mental Herb
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Final Gambit
- Sticky Web
- Stealth Rock
- Encore

Shuckle prefers Mental Herb due to Taunt users and Final Gambit to generate momentum.

Omastar

Omastar @ Air Balloon / Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor / Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam / Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Shell Smash

Omastar really wants coverage for walls like Gastrodon and Seismitoad so HP Grass is generally better than Meteor Beam.

Terrakion

Terrakion @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance

Some simple changes, Fightinium Z allows you to break past Celesteela/Corviknight and Megahorn is suboptimal compared to Earthquake.
