Pokémon Rate My Team

I'm not a big competitive battler, but I put together a team of my favorite Pokémon for fun. Initially, I had Jellicent on my team, but Jellicent seemed very useless on the team, so I recently switched it out for Toxapex. This team is winning many battles, so it seems really good. How would you rate my team? Does it fall into a certain category? Any suggestions?

Brick Break isn’t a great move, maybe use something like Iron Head instead?
Personally I would give gliscor sword dance and facade and tox venoshock with merciless but that's just me
Venoshock and Merciless are both terrible on Toxapex.

Does it fall into a certain category

Since you have Galvantula, it is a Sticky Webs team. Sticky Webs is a type of hyper offense, but you have a defensive Gliscor and Toxapex on the team. Those two need to go.

Galvantula

Ribombee's Moonblast, Shield Dust, and a good matchup against Mega Sableye, a common Magic Bouncer, makes it a better user of Sticky Web.


Ribombee @ Focus Sash
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Moonblast
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Stun Spore

Serperior

Life Orb Serperior isn't good. Serperior is a Pokemon who has offensive pressure and nice support for its teammates. This is why the Substitute set is better, since with a predicted switch, it gets to hide behind its Sub and spam Leaf Storms until Heatran or something else comes in and you Leech Seed it or Glare it. Serperior doesn't abuse Sticky Webs as well as Tapu Bulu does. Tapu Bulu hits really hard but its speed tier is lackluster. Webs fixes that.


Tapu Bulu @ Choice Bamd
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant / Jolly Nature
- Wood Hammer
- Horn Leech
- Stone Edge
- Superpower

Toxapex

Pex doesn't fit on Hyper offense. Hyper offense is about...offense. Toxapex doesn't bring any offense to the table. Ash-Greninja does however, and it is the strongest offensive threat OU has to offer. While most run Spikes, I don't like the idea of using them on such a frail offensive threat with Choice Specs on an archetype where there is almost 0 switching outside of U-turn. You can use Spikes, but use them at your own risk.


Greninja-Ash @ Choice Specs
Ability: Battle Bond
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Dark Pulse
- Water Shuriken
- U-turn / Spikes

Gliscor

This Gliscor set doesn't fit on Hyper offense. I'm pretty sure Gliscor itself doesn't fit on hyper offense. Landorus-T is a staple of HO, however. This is mainly because it is either sets up Stealth Rock and then explodes or is a powerful wallbreaker with a Z-crystal attached. I'll be saving the Z-crystal for something else, so Landorus-T is going to be your suicide Stealth Rocks setter.


Landorus-Therian @ Focus Sash
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion

Chandelure

This Pokemon is really bad. There are much better Webs abusers than Choice Scarf Chandelure. You need a way to beat Flying types and Serperior, and Kyurem-B does that pretty well. It also takes advantage of webs.


Kyurem-Black @ Icium Z
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Freeze Shock
- Fusion Bolt
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power

Mega Mawile

Mawile is too slow to abuse webs. The last slot should go to Mega Medicham. It synergizes well with the team members and with webs as a whole, since it is an incredibly powerful wallbreaker with a Speed tier than can use some work.


Medicham-Mega @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Zen Headbutt
- Ice Punch
- Fake Out
