I was thinking Mawile/Enpoleon/Magnezone but if you guys have any other ideas can you please let me know? Also some of my Pokemon have incomplete movesets and I need some help with completing them. Held items are demonstrated with an @sign. Thanks!

If you were able to have whatever nature you want on each Pokemon, then what would their natures be?
Not sure-but the nature which is most useful to their moves: special or physical? But the nature that doesn't debuff speed as I think speed is really important. (Adamant for attack and modest for spattack) however, metagross and scizor have adamant natures, and lucario has a modest nature so they are all powerhouses. Aegislash has a lonely nature but it's a special attacker so no stat drops there! I need to check bisharp but off the top of my head I think it's naughty so that's the natures of my team. Pretty good or not brilliant?
Yeah bisharp has a naughty nature. I'm so glad that I got decent natures - how do I check ivs?
Can you give me another steel type to use please? Am stuck and need ideas ¦)
Having just caught an Aggron with island scan, do you know any optimal movesets? Am running with iron head stone edge earthquake and aerial Ace but need help please :'(
Replace Metagross and Scizor with Skarmory to set up hazards and force opponents to switch, Magnezone to cover water and trap steel opponents, and Celesteela to be a wall especially against ground and fighting opponents. Give Lucario justified, because steadfast is useless when you always mega evolve, and 252 Atk/4 SpD/252 Spe jolly to take advantage of its larger physical movepool. Teach it swords dance to raise physical attack, close combat for more power, bullet punch for priority, and meteor mash to cover stuff while abusing adaptability. Give Aegislash a leftovers to heal and 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpD sassy for more special bulk. Replace its flash cannon with toxic to cripple other defensive Pokemon and gyro ball for power. Give Bisharp a life orb for more power, defiant to exploit intimidate and defog, and jolly nature to raise special defense and speed slightly. Replace its night slash and aerial ace with knock off for more power and sucker punch for priority.
By the way, it is unfortunate that you aren't playing Ultra Sun, because Ultra Sun lets you catch Dialga, Heatran, Kartana, and Solgaleo. If you want to make a Monotype team with several Ultra Moon exclusives, then you should make a flying team with Lugia, therian Thundurus, Yveltal, and Celesteela.
Ok thanks sumwun-I already had aggron and am wondering wether to use it? However, I like the idea of using Magnezone or celesteela as they have decent move pools.
Don't use Aggron. It has quadruple weaknesses to fighting and ground, both of which are very common. Its low special defense also makes it easy to defeat with special attacks.
I think it's quite good personally
Very good nice team
It's definitely not better than Celesteela, Skarmory, or Aegislash, if that's what you're thinking.

Awesome team! But I can make it better. I studied competitive battling for 3 years. And my research I say steel types are the best competitive battles of all types. Angishash sp.attack moves are ok,but scared sword is OP . Also sizor is one of the best competitive battles in pokemon. Bullet punch, bug Buzz is best for him. Last try empolion on your team to tank hits and sweep. PS try to get a spike or stealth rock pokemon on your team so no steel team is complete without skarmory.

Bug Buzz is a terrible move for Scizor, since it has base 55 SAtk. U-Turn is a much better option, as it allows Scizor to scout and gain momentum. Even Bug Bite would be a wholly better option.
That is a better option. Ok U-turn is a better move

Scizors ability is technician which powers up moves of 60 power or less so bug bite does a cumulative base power of 135 with STAB as it does 60damage. Also I really like being able to kill those rest+chesto berry sweepers. But I may use empoleon for its ability to spam waterfall and iron head. I think it's a great Pokemon design and type! Weak to fighting? Let me just cough cough aerial Ace them up! Ha REKT noobs!

by
Most fighting Pokemon outspeed Empoleon and can one-shot it. Even if Empoleon somehow managed to attack one, aerial ace is a base power 60 attack using from a base 86 physical attack stat, which will almost never one-shot the opponent. In fact, it's usually weaker than moves like surf and ice beam, even when aerial ace is super effective and surf is not. It's easier to just switch to Aegislash when the opponent uses a fighting Pokemon.
Oh thank you anyway. :)
