The Flygon is a TROLL set (nod to Helix716) where they see Flygon, think oh look, a physical Flygon set! What a noob and switch to a physical wall. Then you proceed to OHkO them with a STAB Earth Power. (Will do more than Boomburst [140vs145 base power])

by
The most common physical wall in UU is Gliscor, and Gliscor won't take much damage even if it switched into a special earth power. This is why I think like the unexpected Flygon set is useless and should be replaced with a real special attacker, like Latias. Also, why would you use Lucario or Darmanitan when you can do both their jobs with an Infernape, and free up an extra team slot?
sumwun. Gliscor won't ANY damage from earth power because it is part flying. Also, you don't need to put 6v6 in the title. People just assume it's 6v6 anyway.
@sumwun: The Flygon is just for fun, I don't plan on using it in any Competetive Tournaments, it's just a test
@LeafyBlade: Thanks I didn't realise people assumed it's 6v6, what with the recent RMT Question on 1v1s. ;)
@Blade That was my point...
@Ed When you post teams in RMT, other people assume you're trying to win. You have to specify when your intention is something else.

Best answer

FLYGON - Flygon has a mediocre 100 speed, which desperately needs boosting of you’re going to run a sweeper set. You have 2 options for this: Choice Scarf or Dragon Dance, but I’ll chose Dragon Dance because Choice Scarf is more of a hit and run option rather than a sweeper. Here’s a set I stole from smogon:

Flygon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def
- Dragon Dance (Really enhances your sweeping ability)
- Earthquake (STAB, and 100 BP)
- Dragon Claw (STAB, and without the annoyingly drawbacks of Outrage)
- Fire Punch (For Scizor and other steel types)

I get that yours was a troll set, but if you run troll sets in competitive, you lose.

The smogon suggested set suggested Outrage and Dragonium Z instead of Dragon Claw and Life Orb, but you already have a good Z-Move user on your team. (Lucario). I also just want to say that Flygon is outclassed as a Ground sweeper that’s 4x weak to Ice that’s immune to Ground and is a physical sweeper by Gliscor, who is all of the above, and more, but if you want to run Flygon, I’ll respect that.

BEEDRILL-MEGA (AERODACTYL-MEGA) - Mega Beedrill is a much better mega physical sweeper than Mega Aerodactyl as it has:
- A better offensive typing
- Access to Fell Stinger
- Better STAB moves (Mega Aerodactyl only gets Aerial Ace as its flying STAB)
- (Debatable) better ability. I know Adaptability is much Moreno situational than Tough Claws, but the only non-STAB move Mega Beedrilll runs is Drill Run anyways. I actually didn’t steal this particular set from smogon (wow, shocker) but it’s pretty similar to smogon’s set anyways.

Beedrill-Mega @ Beedrillite
Ability: Sniper—->Adaptability
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Spe/252 Atk/4 Def
- Fell Stinger (Enhances sweeping capability greatly)
- X-Scissor (Powerfull STAB)
- Poison Jab (STAB)
- Drill Run (Coverage against Steel Types)

DARMANITAN - Your Darmanitan is VERY gimmicky. Zen Mode Darmanitan is so rare in competitive that you’d find more Corsola than Zen Mode Darmanitan, and the metagame is like that for a reason. Darmanitan’s trash defenses makes is really hard to get Zen Mode to kick in without Substititute or Belly Drum, with the ladder being so gimmicky and dumb that the king of cringe himself, Verlisify, would tell you that it’s a bad idea. Here’s a better set stolen from smogon:

Darmanitan @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sheer Force
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def
- Flare Blitz (Works with Sheer Force really well)
- Rock Slide (Also works with Sheer Force really well)
- U-Turn (Great scouting move)
- Earthquake (Coverage for rock types)

If you HAVE to use a Zen Mode set, use

Darmanitan @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Zen Mode
Modest Nature
EVs: 80 Spe/176 HP/252 SpA
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Psychic
- Fire Blast
- Calm Mind

SCIZOR (VIKAVOLT) - Scizor is a much better bulky sweeper bug type than Vikavolt, because it has slightly less awful speed, a better ability than Vikavolt, a much better offensive typing, and access to priority. Here’s a standard Scizor set stolen from smogon (again)

Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 Atk/84 Spe/172 HP
- Bullet Punch (Stacks with STAB and Technician, and covers for Sciz’s speed)
- Pursuit (Traps fleeing opponents)
- Bug Bite (STAB and Technician, but no priority sadly)
- Superpower (Basically just a filler; people never use it)

ALOMOMOLA - So your Alomomola is mostly fine, the only real problems I have with it is that you should replace Refresh and Waterfall for Scald and Calm Mind. Then, change it’s nature to Bold, and invest 4 special defense EVs instead of 4 attack.

Lol Mega Beedrill is not better than Mega Aerodactyl. Mega Beedril has atrocious bulk and Mega Aerodactyl, which is quite common, outspeeds it. Mega Aerodactyl may lack good flying STAB but its wider movepool including Hone Claws, Roost, Pursuit, Earthquake, and Aqua Tail more than makes up for it.
Good answer, it's just that
*a)* Darmanitan actually has Sheer Force as opposed to Zen Mode
*b)* Alomomola actually does already have Calm Mind, and Refresh was there to cure any potential status problems.
You do know that beedrill very rarely runs fell stinger. I recommend knock off. And beedrill has a great defensive typing??!?!?! You've got to be joking. The only realy good bug-poison type thats good in competitive is scolopide. Because of bug-poison its weak to: fire (a very common type) flying (also very common) rock (two words. Mega aerodactyl) and psychic (don't realy see this much but still).
I said offensive, not defensive.
Just because Bug and Poison Types aren’t common in competitive doesn’t mean it isn’t a good offensive typing. Almost every Bug and Poison types have terrible stats, so their good typing is useless
I still think Aerodactyl is better. :P
Well maybe I’m biased because I love Mega Beedrill
