Other Metagames (Updated) Rate my STABmons team! (need some help with it please:] )

[GustavoR]

Greetings everyone! Recently I've made a STABmons team that, even though so far has been doin pretty good, I would still love to read second opinions about it in regards of ways to improve it:] Here's the team with a description for each Pokémon (I made another post a couple of days ago but the thread was locked because there were no descriptions. And even though I could PM IronBullet the descriptions, I have changed the team so I wanted to make a new thread). My main doubts are around Lando, M-Pidgeot and Salamence

Landorus-Therian @ Focus Sash
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Beak Blast
- Shore Up
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion

This boy is such an amazing lead im STABmons! Burning Fake Out users with Beak Blast, setting up the rocks and then go Boom! Love to use lead Landorus!
It's basically my suicide lead so it's kind of self-explanatory if you ask me.
My main doubt with this is Shore Up. I had Precipice Blades before, but I never saw myself using the move (for real) and I just threw Shore Up as filler honestly. I was also thinking of stuff like Knock Off, Stone Edge or even Spikes. I am really not so sure about it.

Scizor @ Leftovers
Ability: Technician
EVs: 228 HP / 28 Atk / 148 Def / 104 SpD
Careful Nature
- Bullet Punch
- King's Shield
- Swords Dance
- U-turn
This thing is one of the MVP's of my team and I love it so much. I know a lot of people use Anchor Shot or Sunsteel Strike as Scizor's STAB moves, but they seem to forget how devastating Technician Bullet Punch is on Sciz.
My main idea with this set is to have a bulky and slow U-Turn Pokémon, force 50-50's with King's Shield that can also allow me to set up some Swords Dances in front of physical attackers (using King's Shield on a Buzzwole that used High Jump Kick was satisfying) and that's about it. I think there's not much to add about my Scizor. Any EV spread suggestion is welcome! I have changed the spread and the nature a lot, but this spread with this nature has been working the best for me.

Pidgeot-Mega @ Pidgeotite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Boomburst
- Hurricane
- Sing
- U-turn

Definietly the other MVP of my team. Honestly this set is just made to hit things hard with your STAB moves, being a fast pivot and, specially and mainly, putting foes to sleep with No Guard Sing. Pidgeot has been my wincon in a lot of games and I am really happy towards the work it has done. I think this set is pretty efficient, but my only doubt is to pick between a fast pivot or a setup special sweeper with Work Up (Chansey is a struggle. Funny that I say that because I have one on my team)

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Steam Eruption
- Defog
- Strength Sap

Good ol' Rotom as my physically defensive Pokémon is doing really good so far. I am ware that Spore is used a lot more in Rotom but I wanted to have some hazard control. The rest of this set is just slow Volt Switcher, offensive pressence with Steam Eruption, inmunity (just like Pidgeot) to Ground and, most importantly... the most busted recovery move that has ever been made (Strenght Sap)

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Seismic Toss
- Milk Drink
- Aromatherapy
- Toxic

We all know what Chansey does prior to panic when the enemy uses Knock Off on it. Here I just wanted a Pokémon with Toxic and some Cleric support. Nothing out of the ordinaty

Salamence @ Flyinium Z
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Hammer
- Dragon Ascent
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake

THIS is my main doubt with the team. My main goal was to find a not so slow physical setup sweeper that could rock a Z-Move. My first idea was DD Groundium Chomp, but I honestly wasn't convincing me. Salamcne is just doing a bit better than Chomp, but so far it gets the job done.
My main doubts are: if I should be using mence instead of other Pokémon that might outspeed mence
My other doubt was related agout between either Intimidate to come in plenty of times as long as they don't havr Ice Coverage or Moxie just to snowball some attack).
And I think that the moveseet is pretty ok. However, I'm open for suggestions!. And if you wanna suggest something else and change my Scizor, Sing Pidgeot and Lead Lando)

Not sure if this was in depth enough (I'm new to the forums) but I did my best and I have had A TON of fun with this team!

Thank you in advance people!

just a suggestion, you said that spore is used a lot in the tier and all, so why don't you just run safety goggles? Provides complete immunity as long as your item is still up. Also in terms of fast physical set-up sweepers, mence is a great choice, but not the only thing. Dragonite is also another option, but without as much speed, and does pretty much the same thing, just with a different ability. The only other physical set-up sweeper who can compete is double dance terrakion. Throw a rockium z or fightinum z and you're good!

First of all thanks for your reply fren!
When I said that Spore was used more, I meant in Rotom itself rather than in the tier as a whole:]
And Terrakion was something I was considering as well! I'd pick it over Dnite because it's faster and has no x4 weakness
