    Alright. I'm currently working on a new team. This is what i've got so far. Gen 6 and below

    -Jolteon (Baton pass, Thunder, Growth, Substitute)
    -Blissey(Soft-Boiled, Double-edge, Thunder wave, Toxic)
    -Skarmory(Roost, Air slash, Steel wing, Spikes)
    -Arcanine(Flare blitz, Outrage, Extreme speed, Morning sun)
    -Dragonite(Outrage, Dragon dance, Extreme speed, Roost)
    -Tyranitar(Pursuit, Crunch, Earthquake, Stone Edge)

    I know some of these moves are not optimal. Im still trying to get the right Tm's.
    Now i have the option to enter lugia in here. But im not sure if i should remove Skarmory in its place.

    Playing causal, so every gen 6 pokemon and below is available for replacements here.

    What should i do?

    Are you playing with Smogon OU singles, or causal singles? If you're playing the former, Lugia belongs to the Uber tier because it's way too bulky for OU.

    I'm playing casual.

    Also, any tips on pokemon replacements in this team? It feels kind of lacking.

    Skarm is good, but Lugia is basically an even better bird wall so might as well use that

    All Skarm gets over it is a Toxic immunity and entry hazards (which is still nice but)

    Why Double-Edge on Blissey? Even as a STAB move it tickles with her low base attack. The only offensive moves Blissey should ever run are Seismic Toss or Flamethrower/Ice Beam for moderate damaging coverage.

    I couldnt find the TM for any of those. But i am working on those right now.

    Im also still considering switching out some of the pokemon in my team, but im still not sure with what. Any suggestions?
