National Dex My second Trick Room team

I've alredy done a trick room team before (porygon2 hatterene stakataka crawdant marowak-a mawile-mega) but there were other pokemon that I would have liked to use in a trick room team so I made another team trying to use different pokemon from the first team




:ss/cresselia:
Cresselia (F) @ Mental Herb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Trick Room
- Ice Beam
- Lunar Dance
- Moonlight

for the first pokemon i chose cresselia it is my first trick room setter thanks to ice beam and levitate it is also an excellent counter for landorus-t and garchomp for the moveset apart from ice beam and trick room moonlight for recovery and lunar dance is great for heal a teammate and bring it safely to the battle EVs maximize its physical bulk

:ss/dusclops:
Dusclops @ Eviolite
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Trick Room
- Haze
- Pain Split
- Night Shade

for the second pokemon i chose another trick room setter dusclops thanks to eviolite is very very bulky i chose dusclops also because it learns haze so it is very good for stopping setup sweepers for moveset apart from trick room and haze night shade is for not making dusclops totally passive and pain split is for recovery EVs maximize Spd bulk

:ss/victini:
Victini @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpA
Brave Nature
- Trick Room
- V-create
- Bolt Strike
- Glaciate

for the third trick room setter i chose victini even if victini does not have a very low speed but thanks to v-create speed drop it makes it a powerful sweeper under trick room for the rest of the moves bolt strike is to hit pokemon like tapu fini and glaciate is for hit pokemon like landorus-t and garchomp EVs maximize the damage output of physical moves

:ss/conkeldurr:
Conkeldurr @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Brave Nature
- Mach Punch
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
- Thunder Punch

now that i have three trick room setters i need the sweppers for the first sweeper i chose conkeldurr initially i wanted to use heracross-mega but to have a priority and knock off i chose conkeldurr instead for the moveset mach punch for priority drain punch for stab knock off for coverage and thunder punch for pokemon such as corvinght and tapu fini EVs maximize damage output

:ss/melmetal:
Melmetal @ Life Orb
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Double Iron Bash
- Superpower
- Thunder Punch
- Ice Punch

for my second sweeper i chose melmetal i really like melmetal because it has a lot of very different coverage for the moveset double iron bash is stab and when it hits first it has a good chance of flinch thunder punch ice punch and superpower is for coverage EVs maximize damage output

:ss/tapu bulu:
Tapu Bulu @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Wood Hammer

as the last sweeper I chose tapu bulu mainly for counter greninja for the moveset sword dance for boost wood hammer for stab close combat and stone edge for coverage EVs maximize damage output
 
Maybe over thunder punch on Conk you could run a rock move or Counter. Counter still gets you past Corv. If that's relevant, idk what is in your meta.
 
victini? wouldn’t specs + eruption torkoal be better suited for the role as a fire-type trick room sweeper? it has an equally destructive damage output with specs + sun and isn’t blown away easily by a strong neutral hit due to its solid bulk, allowing it to survive for a bit outside of trick room. alternatively, considering that this is national dex, mega camerupt is another solid choice due to its massive raw power with its special attack and ground typing, giving it more options to threaten the opponent and gives it a stealth rock neutrality

the others are fine (although stakataka is a solid option over melmetal should you find yourself needing a good rock type), but victini honestly confused the hell out of me. it’s not a bad option, just an unorthodox one considering the alternatives
 
I also thought of camerupt but victini learns trick room and if I used camerupt I would have only two trick room setters would the team be fine even with only two setters?
 
It should be, but idk I've never really seen full tr so perhaps not. TR is always been 1 or 2 setters w/ 1 or 2 sweepers for it, rest is fast in case there's no time/after it expires.
 
i don't really like having marowak-a without rock head and i think i would prefer thunderbolt over ice beam on porygon-2 but thanks for the advice they will definitely help me improve the team thanks again
