So I've been playing Pokemon Showdown with my team..And we're pretty decent overall, but nothing Spectacular, you know..

So my team needs some fixings...I have a Normal monotype team. They are:

Kangaskhan, Exploud, Porygon-Z, Snorlax, Cinccinno, and Staraptor.

Now, I love Kangaskhan, Exploud, Porygon-Z and Snorlax..I'm new to Staraptor, but I'm not quite feeling Cinccino's performance..She's good with her Skill Link..But she can only take up to two hits, and that's not so good..

So, although I think her Skill Link ability is awesome...I think I should get a better pokemon..But who..?

And although I KNOW they're not always "Uber", I refuse to use any legendaries on my monotype team. So if you have any cool suggestion's on who I should replace Cinccino with - that isn't a legendary, that would be awesome..Thank you..

Movesets for each Pokemon would be appreciated.

Anyway, here are the ideal sets for each:
-Fake Out/Power-Up Punch
-Return
-Earthquake/Crunch
-Sucker Punch
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy

Exploud:
-Boomburst
-Overheat/Fire Blast
-Focus Blast
-Flamethrower/Surf
Nature: Modest
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Scrappy

Porygon-Z:
-Tri Attack
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt/Trick
-Dark Pulse/Trick
Nature: Modest/Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf/Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability

or
-Nasty Plot
-Agility
-Tri Attack
-Dark Pulse
Nature: Modest
EVs: 80 HP/252 SAtk/176 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry
Ability: Adaptability

Snorlax:
-Return/Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Pursuit
-Crunch/Fire Punch
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 SDef
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Thick Fat

Staraptor is a wall breaker with Choice Band and a neat revenge killer with Choice Scarf. Reckless powers up its recoil moves by 20%, giving Staraptor plenty of power. However, it's vulnerable to Stealth Rock, and given the lack of Normal Rapid Spinners outside of Smeargle (it has better things to do than that), it's tough to use, really. However, if you can give it a try, by all means, go ahead:
-Double-Edge
-Brave Bird
-Close Combat/Final Gambit
-U-turn
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf/Choice Band
Ability: Reckless

As for a potential Cincinno replacement, you can go with Ditto (who can revenge kill opposing offensive Pokemon with Imposter), Kecleon (whose Protean gives it STAB on all moves it uses) or Diggersby (as a stronger, not as frail alternative):

Ditto:
-Transform
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter

Kecleon:
-Knock Off
-Drain Punch
-Sucker Punch
-Rock Slide/Ice Punch
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 172 HP/252 Atk/84 Spe
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Protean

Diggersby:
-Swords Dance
-Return
-Earthquake
-Quick Attack
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash
Ability: Huge Power

or
-Return
-Earthquake
-U-turn
-Knock Off/Wild Charge
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Huge Power

or
-Return
-Earthquake
-Quick Attack
-Knock Off/Fire Punch
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry
Ability: Huge Power
