Hello, this is my first attempt at building my own team (instead of just following "recipes", like sun or rain teams), and I think i did something good, although it still need some development, its a start and i would appreciate some help =)
So, this is the mindset behind this team:
Klefki is the main staler, setting up the screens and crippling my opponents speed;
Umbreon will act somewhat as a wall, healing its teammates and removing statuses;
Excadrill is a rapid spinner/attacher and a sand rusher, in case of sandstorms;
Crawdaunt has the highest output damage with knock-off, and in a game where almost everyone uses an item, i think its a good move to use;
Heracross is my main physical attacker;
Zoroark can confuse some players, giving me a little time and is a special sweeper(I may replace him, because there are already too much dark types)

Now, the team:
Zoroark (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Illusion
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Ice]/Focus Blast (Not sure which one to keep)

Crawdaunt (M) @ Focus Sash

Heracross-Mega (M) @ Heracronite
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef

I see you have a megeevolved heracross, but I would not keep him. I say that because think about all his weaknesses, fire and ice that's a huge problem, because they could not only hurt alot but also inflict a status condition. I would switch him out!!!! A good megeevolvance would be a Kangaskan who attacks twice, has high HP and attack, I'd deffinatly switch him out.

Ok, so my first post. here we goooo!
I would recommend switching Zoroark with Weavile. With great speed and attack., it wrecks.
After one swords dance (thanks to Focus sash) It will be your best physical sweeper.

Weavile @ Focus sash
Ability-Pressure
Jolly (+Speed/-Sp.Attk)
EVs- 252 attck. 252 speed. 4 Sp.def.

Weavile

-Pursuit
-Icicle crash/Ice shard
-Brick break
-Swords dance/Aerial ace.

With weavile switching in, Most pokemon with run like hell, so Pursuit is cool.
Icicle crash for more Damage. Ice shard for priority. (Your preference)
Brick break for Reflect and Light screen.
Swords Dance for Sweeeeep! aerial ace, your choice. But i will prefer S.Dance.

Edit: I would recommend switching either Crawdanaut with Rotom-W.... Or Umbreon with a Steel type tank. You might also need a poke with Water absorb and normal type Immunity, Jellicent is best for this Job. Switch Umbreon OR craw. your choice.
