Ok, so I recently made this NU team but it's got a slight weakness to ground but so far I haven't lost a battle with this team.

Ok, so I usually lead with this guy, I go for Stealth Rock and then I am usually able to take out a pokemon. This guy is also used for Rapid Spin.

I changed my team to what PokeDinos said and it sucks now T_T I haven't won one battle with it now
Artist KS, you may not like this suggestion but  i would try a Heat rotom instead of flareon.

I run this set
Heat Rotom@ Choice scarfe
Evs: 108 defense/ 252 sp attack/132 sp defense/ 16 speed
The spread might not look good but i find it works. use your own if you want :)
-Trick  
-Thunderbolt or Thunder (your preference)
-Overheat
- volt switch

use trick to lock a foe into a set up move (doesnt always work) but if you lock a target into taunt or a status move it can mean huge benefits. thunder bolt or thunder are standard STABs same with over heat and volt switch allows him to switch out.

You may not like this set or Ev spreads but i find it works on my team :)
Rotom-Heat is Banned from NU my friend.
I've edited my team, I will edit the question
Ah sorry Dx i miss read thanks Vast White Warrior :)

Sigh I'm not a crappy NU player (;~; i'm serious, I use Pikachu in most of my teams. That's how crappy I am) so I'm not going to do my usual rates but just talk about each pokemon and overall stuff :3

Individual Pokemon

Armaldo
Looks pretty good right now. Basic spinner/setup bla bla bla, but I'd probably run Rock Blast over Stone Edge (Miss) since it's got higher accuracy, and has the ability to break through focus sash and stuff. Also, Earthquake is an option over X-Scissor for Edgequake combo, but X-scissor is fine

Cradily
Looks fine too, but you could try Resttalk + Curse + Seed bomb/Rock Slide since your current cradily gets screwed by damaging status. Burn renders half of Cradily's boosts useless, while bad poisoning will eventually kill it, regardless of recover. Both things that are avoided with Resttalk, but your set is still fine, since it has better coverage and is able to switch out more easily (Sleeping mechanics sak >:C)

Gardevoir
Looks good, but is there really a point of running 30 Atk IVs/30 SpA IVs? It doesn't have hidden power :P

Dewgong
Looks fine, but I'm not sure about attempting to sweep with a Dewgong. Base 70 Special Attack isn't really much. There are better Ice-type options like Jynx, Glaceon and Vanilluxe

Swellow
Looks good, no comment. Oh wait I just did ._.

Regigigas
Really not sure what this guy does for your team. You've already got a plethra of decent physical attackers, and the 5 turns it takes for Regigigas to get rid of slow start is plenty for them to kill you, even with Thunder wave. You could try replacing Earthquake with Confuse Ray, for more chance of getting past to 5 turn Slow Start even though it gets rid of your coverage, it gives you a better chance of starting a 'sweep'.

Overall

It's not a bad team, but the problem is you have;
3 Weaknesses to Fighting, 1 Resistance (Resistance being Gardevoir, who with base 65 HP and Def without investment, isn't going to be able to going to be able to take a lot of them)
3 Rock weaknesses, No resistances
2 Steel weaknesses, No resistances
Nothing to take Dragon or Fire attacks, which are relatively common (more fire than dragon)
Yeah. So a decent fighting type with a STAB and Coverage move could basically wreck your whole team. I’m really not sure what to do about your team, but maybe make it a little less offensively orientated – maybe add like a Ghost type to function as a spin blocker, and immune to Fighting attacks (Haunter :3), and also add a Steel type (Metang and Probopass work), since it’s a great defensive typing (Soon to change). Also nice bulky pokemon with decent typings will help as well like Ludicolo.

Anyway I'm not an avid NU player or anything so yeah :P these are the suggestions of a n00b :3
