gen VI team idea
 
Hello all,

This is my first attempt at making a gen VI team and I curiously don't have a single gen 6 poke on it...

so here goes.

Espeon w/ Magic bounce
max HP and Spe
Psychic
Moonblast
Protect
Light Screen

Haxorus w/ Mold Breaker
Max Atk and Spe
Outrage
Poison Jab
EQ
DD

Salamence w/ intimidate
64 Atk / 192 SpA / 252 Spe
Dragon Claw
Draco Meteor
Flame Thrower
EQ

Mega Lucario w/ Adaptability
max Atk and Spe
CC
Bullet Punch
Crunch
SD

Vaporeon w/ Water Absorb
max HP and Def
Wish
Protect
Scald
Toxic

Spot 6 is vacant...

As for a description of what I'm trying to achieve:

Espeon comes in and sets up screens, Salamence punches holes in things, vaporeon deals with things others can't by Scalding and Toxic stalling as well as wish passing to team mates. Then Haxorus and Lucario finish the job. Lucario with priority adaptability bullet punch and Haxorus can DD thanks to screens and sweep.

Any blatant holes I'm missing? any suggestions for the sixth team member or one I should swap out? Move and Item suggestions?

Thank you all for your help.

Make sure to include Nature and EV spread along with your team posting, They make a huge difference in how a mon turns out

You should give the full names of the moves as opposed to the acronyms because new people who may be rating the team may not know what the moves are.

Espeon can't learn Moonblast. The best Fairy move it gets is Dazzling Gleam. I'd use Reflect as a secondary screen. Light Clay should be the item. Timid should be the nature.

Haxorus should be Adamant or Jolly.

Salamence should be Naive, but consider Dragon Dance Salamence as well. I'm not sure how MixMence fares in the current meta:
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw/Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast/Hydro Pump
Nature: Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Lum Berry/Life Orb/Yache Berry

Lucario should be Adamant or Jolly

Vaporeon should be Bold.

Including Skarmory or Ferrothorn as defensive Steels may not be a bad idea, because of their good synergy with Salamence and Haxorus:

Skarmory:
-Spikes
-Whirlwind
-Roost
-Brave Bird/Iron Head/Taunt
Nature: Impish/Careful
EVs: 224 HP/252 Def/32 SDef or 224 HP/32 Def/252 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy

Ferrothorn:
-Spikes/Stealth Rock
-Leech Seed/Thunder Wave
-Gyro Ball/Power Whip
-Stealth Rock/Gyro Ball/Protect
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/76 Def/180 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs

Thanks for your help.

I DID mean "Reflect" and "Dazzling Gleam" on Espeon^^'
Timid, definitely.

Hax will be Jolly

Lucario will be Adamant (I need to Sketch Cruch and Bullet Punch on a Smeargle... any ideas?)

Vap is Bold

I'm going to test MixMence and see.

I'll have to get me Ferrothorn because I don't have Skarmory in my friend Safari (for now)
going for Spikes, Power whip, Leech seed and Gyro Ball.

Thanks again, Platinum Dude, you're always good help =)
