Here comes the sun!

Hello everyone!
I was thinking of creating myself a GEN VI offensive Sun Team to use in Wifi-battles! I'd love to know what your thoughts are on this team!

I'm not very sure about Mawile yet, but I think the team has alright-ish coverage? Might want to put Charizard in there over Mawile?

Here are some better defensive Ninetales set you should use:
-Flamethrower
-Substitute
-Pain Split
-Will-o-Wisp/Toxic
Nature: Timid
EVs: 248 HP/8 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Heat Rock
Ability: Drought

or
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Flamethrower
-Will-o-Wisp
Nature: Calm
EVs: 248 HP/140 SDef/120 Spe
Item: Heat Rock
Ability: Drought

Lilligant's niche as a Chlorophyll abuser is a Quiver Dance user. Take advantage of it:
-Quiver Dance
-Giga Drain/Energy Ball
-Hidden Power (Rock/Fire)
-Sleep Powder
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry/Leftovers
Ability: Chlorophyll

For the record, the attack is called "Play Rough". Mega Mawile should also use 132 HP/252 Atk/124 Spe to let it outspeed Scizor and Aegislash. Fire Fang is also an important move to consider to let Mawile nail Steels not named Heatran:
-Play Rough
-Sucker Punch
-Fire Fang/Swords Dance/Iron Head
-Swords Dance/Substitute
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 132 HP/252 Atk/124 Spe
Item: Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate

Assault Vest > Choice Band on Snorlax; it lets it tank special hits much better:
-Return/Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Fire Punch/Crunch
-Self-Destruct/Pursuit/Crunch
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/252 SDef/4 Spe
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Thick Fat

Another option as an Assault Vester is Goodra:
-Draco Meteor
-Fire Blast
-Thunderbolt/Sludge Bomb
-Focus Blast/Dragon Tail
Nature: Modest/Quiet
EVs: 248 HP/252 SAtk/8 SDef
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

Blissey is currently Taunt bait. It needs Seismic Toss or Flamethrower to avoid becoming that:
-Soft-Boiled
-Heal Bell/Aromatherapy
-Toxic/Thunder Wave
-Seismic Toss/Flamethrower
Nature: Bold
EVs: 4 HP/252 Def/252 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure

While offensive Espeon is certainly viable in its own right, it might not have time to set up Calm Mind:
-Psychic/Psyshock
-Dazzling Gleam
-Hidden Power (Fire/Ground)/Shadow Ball
-Grass Knot/Shadow Ball
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Magic Bounce

Edit: I wouldn't recommend Wash Rotom as a sun setter; the sun weakens its Water STAB. A better backup sun abuser is Venusaur:
-Sunny Day/Growth
-Giga Drain/Energy Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Earthquake/Hidden Power (Fire)/Synthesis/Sleep Powder
Nature: Modest/Rash
EVs: 24 HP/252 SAtk/232 Spe
Item: Heat Rock/Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll

Thanks a lot for your advise! But this team does look alright overall? :3

I'm relatively new to competitive pokemon, but I do know that offensively, Mega Houndoom is an absolute beast in the sun. Solar power boosting his special attack to base 210! So yeah.
