    I'd go with Eelektross if I were you. Because it's an Electric type, it can deal with Flying types. It also has a bigger movepool than Lilligant.

    You could also add Krookodile, but then you'd have to replace Gigalith. So if you want to keep Gigalith, I wouldn't recommend Krookodile.

    I'm now just at the Chargestone Cave but i am planning to have a good team from beginning to defeat Elite 4 easily so plese help me complete my team:

    1. Samurott @ Mystic Water
    Ice Beam
    Megahorn

    Surf
    Superpower/Night Slash

    There is no need for need for 2 water type attacks. Get rid of Scald and replace it with Ice Beam. It offers much more coverage against Grass types. Also, get rid of Revenge. If you want Samurott to be a mixed attacker, Megahorn would fit in there nicely, along with Superpower or Night Slash to replace Cut.

    2. Chandelure @ ???
    Flamethrower
    Will-O-Wisp
    Hex
    Energy Ball

    Flamethrower is obviously a better STAB choice than Flame Burst. Confuse Ray is OK, but confusion is bit iffy in my view. I suggest you replace it with Energy Ball.


    3. Sigilyph @ ???
    Psychic
    Reflect/Energy Ball/Shadow Ball/Heat Wave
    Air Slash/Energy Ball/Shadow Ball/Heat Wave
    Fly

    Not much experience with Sigilyph, but you do want to keep Fly. Psychic is a better STAB option than Psybeam. Sigilyph has heaps of coverage moves that can replace either Air Slash and Reflect, as I've listed above.

    4. Mienshao @ ???
    U-turn
    Acrobatics
    Hi Jump Kick
    Stone Edge/Bounce

    Hi Jump Kick is usually better than Jump Kick, despite that nasty potential damage. U-Turn is good, but too much Fighting moves... Drain Punch can be replaced by Acrobatics and Meditate for Stone Edge for Flying types or Bounce for extra coverage.


    5. Gigalith @ Quick Claw
    Stone Edge
    Explosion
    Earthquake
    Superpower

    Again not much experience with this Pokemon, but i do know you want to get rid of Strength, Rock Blast, Smack..... pretty much all of them. Stone Edge, Earthquake, Superpower and Explosion are better moves. Although I don't reccoment using Gigalith at all. I've used him one, and was deeply disappointed.


    6. ...??? ( Lilligant or Krookodile or Eelektross )
    Out of those 3, Krookodile seems sound. And if you're planning on getting rid of Gigalith, which you should, Liligant would be the best route to go. Although, I would suggest something a bit different than these Pokemon. Leavanny would make a better substitute for Liligant (from my own experience):
    Leavanny
    Leaf Blade
    Return
    X-Scissor
    Swords Dance

    Krookodile
    Earthquake
    Crunch
    Hone Claws
    Brick Break

    They worked for me, so I recommend them a lot.


    I can't decide which should i take for the sixth slot. I am also considering between Mienshao and Throh.

    Psychic
    Reflect/Energy Ball/Shadow Ball/Heat Wave
    Air Slash/Energy Ball/Shadow Ball/Heat Wave
    Fly
    Not much experience with Sigilyph, but you do want to keep Fly, but again Psychic is a better STAB option than Psybeam. Sigilyph has heaps of coverage moves that can replace either Air Slash and Refect, though tuts just optional.

    4. Mienshao @ ???
    U-turn
    Acrobatics
    Hi Jump Kick
    Stone Edge/Bounce

Stone Edge, Earthquake, Superpower and Explosion are better moves. Although I don't reccoment using Gigalith at all. He is a pretty bad Pokemon. (This coming from a guy who uses Dustox in every one of his playthroughs.)
    Your advice is great. You must have spent a lot of time. Thank you. But there is a few problems:
    1. CHANDELURE cannot have Flamethrower ( TM 35 ) before Elite 4. The TM only appears in Abundant Shrine later in the game. I want to have a good team to defeat Elite 4.

    2. High Jump Kick of MIENSHAO can only be learnt at Lv.56. That takes up a lot of training time. Maybe i won't have enough time to train it to Lv.56 before taking Elite 4 challenge. Also, your move set for Mienshao, I think it does't have enough Fighting move ( Hight Jump Kick only have 10 PP ) so i think i should add Drain Punch

    3. Again, i don't think TM26 Earthquake is obtainable before Elite 4. I searched for its location and found that it appears in Relic Castle... after you have defeated Ghetis.

    4. I love Gigalith a lot, impressive attack-defense. I cannot leave it.

    5. TM 13 Ice Beam for Samurott only appears in Giant Chasm after Elite 4. And i don't really know how to get Night Slash and Super Power for my Samurott.

    6. I don't have any Ground attack ( since Earthquake is hard to optain ) so i think Dig is good enough for Gigalith. I cannot get Super Power too so I think I will train my Gigalith like this: Stone Edge - Explosion - Dig - Rock Slide

    Any way, thanks for your advice.
    P/s: I think i should add Haxorus for my sixth slot. Could you please tell me this one's weaknesses and strengths ?
