I’m looking for any non-ubers pokémon to fill in the last position of my team. This is my team so far:
Espeon
Nature: Timid
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Magic Bounce
EV: 252 Sp Atk, 200 Spe, 48 Sp Def, 8 Def
Moveset:
-Psyshock
-Dazzling Gleam
-Shadow Ball
-Trick
I use my Espeon as a stallbreaker. Trick is for getting rid of my scarf, and all the other moves are coverage.

Mimikyu
Nature: Adamant
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Disguise
EV: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 Hp
Moveset:
-Swords Dance
-Play Rough
-Shadow Sneak
-Wood Hammar
Mimikyu is my physical attacker. Shadow Sneak for priority, Play Rough for STAB, and Wood Hammar because I cannot think of anything else for coverage.

Togekiss
Nature: Timid
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EV: 252 Hp, 204 Spe, 52 Sp Atk
Moveset:
-Air Slash
-Flamethrower
-Trick
-Roost
Togekiss is mainly going to spam Air Slash for the flinch. Trick is for getting rid of the Scarf when necessary, Flamethrower for steel-types (Ferrothorne), and Roost to capitalize on its bulk.

Cradily
Nature: Calm
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EV: 252 HP, 200 Sp Def, 56 Def
Moveset:
-Infestation
-Recover
-Amnesia
-Barrier
Barrier and Amnesia is a gimmicky set up for Def and Sp Def respectively, Recover for recovery, and Infestation is for a source of damage over time and for trapping opponents.

Toxapex
Nature: Bold
Item: Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EV: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp Def
Moveset:
-Scald
-Stockpile
-Recover
-Toxic
This is my team’s main damage sponge. Scald to cripple physical attackers, stockpile to get tankier, Recover for recovery and Toxic as the main source of damage.

Feel free to make any suggestions on the already existing team members. But I’m mainly just looking for a sixth pokémon to add to my team.

What are you using this team for? A tier (Like OU), BSS, or Friendly Matches? Are there any rules about Pokemon/Moves/Items/Abilities?

Here is what I think:

Mimikyu does pretty well off with Shadow Claw instead of Wood Hammer, mostly because Wood Hammer doesn't really hit anything harder than Shadow Claw does and makes it more Likely Mimikyu doesn't survive an attack. :P

Cradily's set is not the most reliable due to its limited damage output (leftovers Pokemon can stall it pretty baldly) and because moves like Haze/Whirlwind and abilities like Unaware exist. Cradily could work with Giga Drain and Stealth Rock to be a more reliable Support Pokemon.

Stockpile has a similar effect on Toxapex, which is likely to be switched out anyways, and therefore doesn't need stat boosts or Recover. Moves like Protect and Haze help Toxapex stall and Shut down set-up sweepers more effectively. :P

Your team doesn't have a Z-Move user. While this isn't at all Necessary, it can help break through at the right moment you need to do so. If you want to add one, I suggest you give Mimikyu a Ghostium Z. It does take away Mimikyu's Life Orb Boost, but The STAB Z-Move Gained may take out a bulkier threat, and not do damage to Mimikyu every turn.

Your team has 4 Special Attacking Pokemon and 1 Physical attacking Pokemon. I suggest adding a Physical attacking Fire Type and switching one of your other Special Pokemon (or more if you want major changes) for a Physical Attacker, like replacing Craydily for Tapu Bulu/Kartana/Ferrothorn or Espeon for Mega Medicham :P

Just some suggestions, you don't have to listen to me if you don't want to. :P
If Cradily had giga drain and stealth rock, then it would still be outclassed by Ferrothorn. Toxapex still often needs recover (at least more than it needs protect) because many attacks deal more damage than regenerator can heal.
