Since Sigi got the boot, I'm showing the team that got me to first. The synergy isn't that great without sigi, so I'll make a new one. My friend KingDamz, King Cr7 or whatever alt he uses and I made this team. It has a few alterations to his due to personal preference such as aqua jet on DD xD but it's a solid team. However, you can't rely on the team solely to do well, it is a well balanced, solid team, but you need to play well and predict well. Yes specs plume:3 King has as much credit as me if not more, he is da best team builder evar:3
 
First off you need to have 3 lines of description per pokemon in order to call it a RMT and not a importable. This will be locked if you do not put down descriptions, which are key to allowing raters to understand your thought process.

This said, this is obviously a solid team, and it did very well in the Sigi meta. In terms of flaws, the only true flaw is against strong setup sweepers, as you really don't have any significant speed or priority in order to take them out, so if something like Shell Smash Carracosta or Rock Polish Regice comes along, you have significant difficulty trying to take it out or prevent setup. There are also minor flaws per set.

In order to deal with the setup issue, I highly reccomend switching out Spiritomb for Offensive Encore / Pivot Liepard. This set is a beast, and while you lose a ghost typing which you really didn't need anyways since Sigi / Vile cover Fighting and Probo covers normal, you gain much more utility and lose much less momentum. The truth is your Spiritomb set earlier lost tons of offensive pressure for what can be considered a rather offensive team, and Liepard resolves this issue. Its sucker punch is far more powerful, and more importantly its ability to encore pokemon into their setup means that you will not need to worry about any sweeps.

In terms of replacing Sigilyph, Offensive Xatu can be used and while they are not identical in play style, they are close enough to the point that you shouldn't recognize a game changing difference, and Xatu does in theory offer more support, so try it out!V

Minor Changes:
Feraligatr: Swords Dance > Dragon Dance, Return > Earthquake with the moveset you are currently running SD helps you more than DD since you have A Jet and seek the power boost much as how samurott would play. Return is more effective as it still gains coverage on Water Types but gives you a 102 BP move against Grass types as well which EQ couldn't touch.
Vileplume: Life Orb > Choice Specs, Synthesis > Dazzling Gleam Vileplume's greatest boon is in its bulk, and I feel that your current set completely wastes it. For this reason I reccomend offensive LO with Synthesis so that you can abuse Vileplume to its maximum effectivity while still packing powerful attacks.

Cool team. Put descriptions.
