    Regular Aerodactyl wasn't bad last gen, but I'm not sure how well it'd faire in gen 6. It'd probably be best to go with Mega Aerodactly, and Alakzam can do alright without mega evolving.

    Also, what Pokemon are you for sure using on this team?

    -Foul Play
    -Roost
    -Taunt/Whirlwind
    -Defog/Toxic/Knock Off

    Those are the ones I'm using. For the electric and fighting weakness, how about a ground type? And a fighting type is needed too. Would golem and chesnaught suffice?

    Chesnaught, I agree with. Golem, not so much, because of its terrible defensive typing:
    -Leech Seed
    -Spiky Shield
    -Hammer Arm
    -Synthesis/Roar/Seed Bomb/Stone Edge
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Bulletproof

    Gliscor might be a good additon to the team as well:

    -Gliscor w/Toxic Orb
    Nature: Impish
    Ability: Poison Heal
    EVs: 248 HP, 244 Defense, 12 Speed
    Moves: Earthquake, Roost, Knock Off, Toxic

    or

    -Gliscor w/Toxic Orb
    Nature: Impish
    Ability: Poison Heal
    EVs: 244 HP, 40 Defense, 224 Speed
    Moves: Earthquake, Substitute, Toxic, Protect/Knock Off/Roost

    On the mandibuzz, can you suggest a move other than roost and foul play? I can't seem to get those moves + nature and ability. I've filled up a box and a half.

    Mandibular w/Leftovers:
    Nature: Bold
    Ability: Overcoat
    248 HP, 208 Defense, 52 Speed
    Foul Play, Toxic/Whirlwind, Roost, Taunt

    Foul Play is a mandatory move for Mandibuzz because it doesn't have enough Attack to deal damage on its own outside of a boosted Knock Off. Getting Foul Play Mandibuzz isn't that hard; just breed a Vullaby with a male Murkrow/Honchkrow that knows Foul Play (Murkrow/Honchkrow have Foul Play as a level-up move; Foul Play is also one of Vullaby's egg moves):
    -Foul Play
    -Roost
    -Defog
    -Toxic/Whirlwind/Knock Off
    Nature: Bold/Impish
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Overcoat

    Yes, I understood. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we use substitute and then giga impact, we won't be open to damage

    That's still a terrible strategy. Both moves take up important move slots that could be used for utility and recovery. The moves I listed for Mandibuzz a page earlier are all important, though the 4th slot is open to 3 options.

    You don't ever wanna skip a turn, even if behind a Sub; it wastes the shielding a Sub provides. And Mandibuzz's Attack is too low to make use of Giga Impact anyway (Knock Off is to cripple item dependent pokes, while Foul Play uses the other Pokémon's Attack stat).

    Okay, I'll keep trying. Can I have a poke other than Chesnaught? I just realized that it won't work out..

    Iirc, Chesnaught was suggested as the team's Electric/Fighting resist. Gliscor (which I mentioned on the 2nd page) works nicely. If you can't get one with Poison Heal, then Gourgesut or Trevenant are good as well:

    -Super Size Gourgeist w/Leftovers
    Nature: Impish
    Ability: Frisk
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Sp.Defense
    Moves: Leech Seed, Wili-o-Wisp, Shadow Sneak, Seed Bomb

    or

    Small Size Gourgeist w/Leftovers
    Nature: Jolly
    Ability: Frisk
    EVs: 252 HP, 72 Defense, 184 Speed
    Moves: Will-o-Wisp, Leech Seed, Seed Bomb, Protect/Substitute

    -Trevenant w/Sitrus Berry
    Nature: Impish
    Ability: Harvest
    EVs: 252 HP, 180 Defense, 76 Speed
    Moves: Leech Seed, Substitute/Protect, Will-o-Wisp, Phantom Force/Shadow Claw

    or

    Trevenant w/Leftovers or Lum Berry
    Nature: Impish/Adamant
    Ability: Natural Cure
    EVs: 252 HP, 180 Defense, 76 Speed
    Moves: Horn Leech, Earthquake/Rock Slide, Will-o-Wisp, Rest

    Alright! I've got a gliscor. Now I need 2 more pokes to finish the team. How about a Forretress for an opener?
