Please explain a bit lol, why Vest as an item and why those move choices.
Melmetal is best with Choice Band on a Trick Room team, the Assault Vest set lacks firepower. If you want to be able to switch up moves, the best option is something like Life Orb, but Choice Band is the best set. Superpower is better then Body Press since it benefits more from Choice Band and lets you score an OHKO on Ferrothorn and Heatran.

You generally want a suicide lead and two Trick Room setters so you can more reliably set up Trick Room. Use Cresselia instead of Bronzong.

As a general rule, you should use 252/4/252 unless you're trying to hit specific benchmarks. For a defensive Pokemon, invest in HP and a defense stat rather than in both stats.

Use Psyshock or Psychic instead of Eerie Spell on Slowking. Slowking also lacks firepower compared to other options for abusers, try something like Choice Specs or Life Orb, but you're probably better off with switching it and Clefable out for something else like Alolan Marowak or Conkeldurr.
