ORAS Competitive team?

Hi! I need some advice in team building cause i suck at it. I have a "core", persay, but a lot of the other pokemon get switched around a lot. I generally like stall/defensive/dot type teams, and keeping my pokemon alive for as long as possible, sweeping only if i gather enough boosts.

This is an ingame team, so no legendaries, please. Sole exception is Terrakion, who i RNG manipulated in Black 2 for 3 days to get a Jolly 6 iv'd one. It actually happened during a high school assembly, lmao

I can't remember EVs, im sorry.

Current Team

Sableye "Gemma" @ Sablenite
- Calm Mind
- Will-o-Wisp
- Recover
- Shadow Ball
Prankster / Bold

My general lead pokemon. Calm mind when against special pokemon, will-o-wisp against physical attackers. Try not to mega evolve unless I need the bulk or I need to reflect status moves or spikes/stealth rock.

Clefable "Cat" @ Leftovers
- Moonlight
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
- Flamethrower
Unaware / Bold

A pokemon to counter setup sweepers and other pokemon that rely on those types of moves. Also Dragon killer! Flamethrower is good coverage against some steel types, provided i've already got a calm mind or two under my belt.

Gliscor "Roger" @ Toxic Orb
- Substitute
- Protect
- Earthquake
- Toxic
Poison Heal/ Impish

Haven't used this boy as much as I did in X/Y, since the set is kinda stale now. However, he works well as a physically defensive pokemon and is able to stall out pokemon with Toxic.

Mandibuzz "Arlie" @ Leftovers
- Roost
- Taunt
- Foul Play
- Toxic
Overcoat / Bold

Darn those pesky physical attackers! This girl can take it and deal it back with foul play, and also acts as bit of a status shield/spikes rock protector with taunt. also spreads around that delicious toxic poison.

Tyranitar "Rick" @ Assault Vest
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Ice Punch
Sand Stream / Careful

My Mega Charizard Y counter. f**k MEGA CHARIZARD Y! This pokemon can switch into a drought boosted Fire blast and survive, and then use stone edge to kill that pesky not-dragon, provided they don't switch out… Not the best check, but he's got immense special bulk.

Togekiss "Ray" @ Shell Bell (I only have 2 leftovers…)
- Air Slash
- Thunder Wave
- Nasty Plot
- Roost
Serene Grace / Modest

HOOOOO BOY WHO LIKES DEM PARA FLINCH TACTICS*? Originally I had aura sphere instead of thunder wave, but dat tasty cheap strat beats having some coverage. Can kind of work against the other pokemon who use damaging status moves. I tend to only use him in 3 pokemon battles, where the damaging effects of the other status moves aren't as useful.

* Disclaimer: Only works when the enemy is slower than you. Slightly alleviated if you use thunder wave beforehand.

You can't, spoiler tag was removed a long time ago.
Anyway, I'm not a competitive player so I cannot rate that set.
