i've built a core of salamence, floette and rillaboom so far but i'm not sure who to add
Mega Salamence-
He is suppost to be that base of my team being able to nuke serious threats but also able to tank hits too. he is also able to support the team with tailwind
Rillaboom-
i want him to be providing support through fake out and grassy terrain support while being able to tank hits and hit decently hard with grass moves
Floette-
she is suppost to support rillaboom by preventing him from getting intimidated while still being very threatning through strong spread damage. I am unsure about evs and move set tho
issues-
i have a bad matchup into kingambit, mawile, archaludon, gholdengo, and metagross
also i don't want to use sneasler, kingambit, incineroar, archaludon, gholdengo, golisopod or swampert

Team by
thanks for the base Tomito
but is there any evs that wouldn't be too detrimental to put into special attack
i lowkey forgot about golisopod
here's the edited evs

can you explain why it would be better to go mixed
actually nvm
i personally want to go with physical because it not only allows for more bulk on my salamence but also gives me a stronger burst option that can be used more than once
do you guys have any ideas for some other team members
i personally don't want to use arch
thanks for the idea tho
i added aegislash as the fourth pokemon to get a dragon fairy steel core and i know i want a fire type as my fifth mon any ideas?

Aegislash-
he's here to give my team a better defensive profile and to be my first counter to kingambit through sacred sword. he also benifits from rillaboom allowing it to take earthquake
i can also replace aegislash with empoleon for a intimidate counter and to start a fire water grass core
My EVs are perfect no need to change
Trust
But yeah you can take inspiration by the team tomito sent
Do you have any ideas for a fire type on this team or fire type damage. And don’t say that wrestling cat
Also for the final Pokemon if I absolutely must I’ll use sneasler but I want to see if there is an option that would work without him
i was came up with a few ideas for a team so i need to know which options i should go with and if it's one of the empoleon versions then can you come up with a good mon to round the team up?

also persian's last move can be changed
and i'm always fine with changing evs to help better suit their roles
Empoleon-
he's here to not only to improve my matchup into my own megas but to also improve my matchup into incineroar and gardevoir psyspam
Rotom-
he's here to evaporate golisopod and beet pelli at the same time he also is here to provide support with electroweb
Garganacl-
he's here to be a good switch in for ghost types, slow down the game if needed and to support with wide guard to help the team with spread hyper voice, blizzard, expanding force, and dazzling gleam
Persian-Alolan-
he's on the team to cover for ghost types as well as to support the team through fake out and parting shot as well having good physical bulk thanks to fur coat and he can also use snarl to nerf special attackers. he also has foul play to beat mega metagross because he might be better since charizard is less common
