    I was thinkin about a new team I havent tried before and here I go. Fair warning im new to meta and I made my team while trying to stay away from legendary pokemon

    I started out wanting to make a team with Dragonite

    Dragonite @ Lum Berry
    Ability: Multiscale
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Adamant Nature
    - Dragon Dance
    - Outrage
    - Fire Punch
    - Extreme Speed

    I thought about what would screw him up and I thought about stealth rocks. So I looked up rapid spinners and saw this guy

    Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
    Ability: Clear Body
    EVs: 252 HP / 8 Def / 248 SDef
    Relaxed Nature
    - Rapid Spin
    - Toxic
    - Scald
    - Protect

    Then I thought well what should I do to counter someone else using a spinner and decided Trevenant.

    Trevenant @ Sitrus Berry
    Ability: Harvest
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk
    Impish Nature
    - Horn Leech
    - Leech Seed
    - Will-O-Wisp
    - Shadow Claw

    At this point I start thinkin about my mega and what other weakness Dragonite has that is Fairy types. So i decided Mega Mawile cause it will resist fairy then punish them with their own weakness.

    Mawile-Mega
    Ability: Huge Power
    EVs: 252 Atk / 132 HP / 124 Spd
    Adamant Nature
    - Play Rough
    - Swords Dance
    - Sucker Punch
    - Iron Head

    At this point I just notice I dont have a Special Attack Sweeper and since I picked Noivern in my other team I decide I might finally have a team to use Reuniclus in.

    Reuniclus @ Life Orb
    Ability: Magic Guard
    EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
    Bold Nature
    - Calm Mind
    - Recover
    - Psychic
    - Focus Blast

    At this point im looking at my team and I dont see a real dedicated lead or rock setter so I find this guy. I'm kinda disappointed I don't have a spot for him being mega but eh.

    Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
    Ability: Pressure
    EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
    Jolly Nature
    - Stealth Rock
    - Stone Edge
    - Taunt
    - Earthquake


    So I know im probably missing some big issues please help me out to make this work and just so u know im not going by Smogon rules. I'd be playing by Flat rules.
     
    There's no need for a Relaxed nature on Tentacruel; Rapid Spin isn't an offensive tool; it's a support option. Use a Bold nature and the EV spread 252 HP/224 Def/32 Spe to let it outspeed Tyranitar. Tentacruel has good Speed for a wall; take advantage of it. Also consider Sludge Bomb and Knock Off on it:
    -Scald
    -Sludge Bomb
    -Rapid Spin
    -Toxic/Knock Off/Toxic Spikes
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/224 Def/32 Spe
    Item: Black Sludge
    Ability: Liquid Ooze

    Trevenant is better off using a specially-defensive spread to let it better deal with Mega Blastoise and Starmie. It also needs Protect to stall for extra burn damage or stall for time if its Sitrus Berry isn't restored by Harvest:
    -Horn Leech
    -Shadow Claw/Leech Seed
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Protect
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 244 HP/16 Def/248 SDef
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Ability: Harvest

    Aerodactyl's role of a suicide lead is obsolete as of Gen VI, as it gained a Mega Evolution to make better use of its offensive capabilities. Since your Mega slot is taken up by Mawile, I'll suggest Mamoswine or Garchomp as your Stealth Rock setters:

    Mamoswine:
    -Earthquake
    -Icicle Crash/Icicle Spear
    -Ice Shard
    -Stealth Rock/Superpower
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Thick Fat

    or
    -Stealth Rock
    -Earthquake
    -Ice Shard
    -Endeavor
    Nature: Jolly/Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Focus Sash
    Ability: Oblivious

    Garchomp:
    -Stealth Rock
    -Outrage/Dragon Claw
    -Earthquake
    -Swords Dance/Fire Blast
    Nature: Jolly/Naive
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Lum Berry/Focus Sash
     
    Couple of little things:

    While the power Outrage has is nice, its a dangerous move to use because Fairies and Steels are very common on teams. So Dragon Claw is the more reliable option so you don't get stuck in Outrage when you don't want to.

    Another option for a Stealth Rock setter is Heatran. Yes, its a legendary, but its the Uber tier legendaries that people generally frown upon. Heatran's not an Uber legendary.

    -Heatran w/Air Balloon
    Nature: Timid
    Ability: Flash Fire
    EVs: 252 Sp.Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Defense
    Moves: Fire Blast, Earth Power, Stealth Rock, Dragon Pulse/Flash Cannon

    or

    Heatran w/Leftovers
    Nature: Calm
    Ability: Flash Fire
    EVs: 248 HP, 8 Defense, 252 Sp.Defense
    Moves: Lava Plume, Protect, Stealth Rock, Roar

    Just giving another option.
