I made a post like this a little while back before I fought Hardy, and I've made quite a few changes/additions to my roster since then, so I figured I'd make a post like this again. Just looking for team and moveset suggestions (no egg move suggestions for existing members though, each individual member takes multiple hours to EV train and raise to level 90+ and I don't want to deal with that on top of having to do breeding shenanigans). I was considering training up an Aegislash but decided against it as I already have 5 Steel types lying around, but I do need a Ghost, since I retired my Mismagius. I'm also fine on Dragons atm; between Naganadel, Dragonite and Salamence I should have that type covered sufficiently enough. I'll probably add the 2 most agreed upon team members, since that'll make a full box of members.

 

I'll post my mons' current movesets in a spoiler here, with moves/items/abilities in bold being ones I'm unsure about, crossed out being unobtainable but planned to be a substitute for whatever is currently there (not a full replacement) and italics being temporary until something else becomes obtainable:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Everything I currently have is between levels 92 and 95 except for the 5 most recent additions - Gyarados (Lana), Blaziken (Kiyo), Rhyperior (Ujiyaso), Lucario (Maylene) and Naganadel (Aya) who are all between 70 and 72 and are still in training. (Suggestions for where to raise them would be nice - Grand Hall trainers give jack for EXP through EXP Share and are too strong for most of these guys to fight them on their own still).

 

also lowkey taking name suggestions

 

Edit to avoid a double post: Decided to train an offensive Trick Room Cofagrigus with Shadow Ball/Trick Room/Nasty Plot/either Hidden Power if it's Fighting or Grass Knot (to be replaced by Energy Ball) if it's not. I've got a full box now, but suggestions are still welcome!

If you're looking for a ghost type, Mimikyu could be fun to use just because it can either be used offensively with Swords Dance (probably can sub in hone claws till that becomes available) with good coverage in play rough, shadow claw and wood hammer/leech life/x-scissor or defensively with will-o-wisp and pain split, depending on how you want to train it.

Alternatively, if you want to go with tank cheese than Trevanent's a good one to use with harvest + berries + sub seed, which is fun when it works but can get shut down rather easily. I'm also biased towards Chandelure, but it looks like Houndoom already fills it's role so I wouldn't suggest it too much.

 

It also looks like you're missing an ice type, which is probably going to be important considering the next gym is dragon. I personally recommend A!Ninetales for hail + dual screens in Aurora Viel plus access to Blizzard (via Vulpix) and Moonblast (via egg), but other options could be Weavile or Mamoswine if you're wanting something physical instead.

My plan for Saphira's gym is actually to abuse the Cave field with Rock Tomb/Slide/Stone Edge spam, since it's likely we'll fight on the Dragon's Den field and one use of Hydro Vortex makes that a Cave. Ice types would definitely work too though, and I'll probably consider Ninetales because it's a good Specs user and I actually have nothing making use of that item yet.

 

I have a level 75 Mimikyu sitting around, but haven't raised it because the IVs are kinda shite and Swords Dance isn't here quite yet. Could definitely breed a better one, though. My main problem is the lack of a strong Ghost STAB on it - Shadow Claw is the best one-turn move you'll get, and coming off of only 90 base attack, that's... not exactly impressive, even at +2. I want a ghost type that can abuse its STAB a bit more. Still, it's not an awful option - just not one I'm necessarily looking for.

 

Unfortunately, as you said, Trevenant just gets shut down a bit too easily. It has a ton of defensive utility and an amazing movepool, but it doesn't have the bulk or speed to make use of it.

Weavile. easy to get a strong moveset, good choice band user if you have it. fits the ice role you need. as much as i like A-ninetales, its best use is instant aurora veil and hail might screw up your team with residual damage. weavile or even mamoswine is better for straight damage.

Well, the nice thing about Hail's residual damage is I can build my team in any way to get around it/mitigate it, by bringing 'mons like Serperior and Mienshao who can heal themselves and avoiding 'mons that damage themselves or rely on having full HP like Dragonite or Staraptor. But it could be annoying in some scenarios, I'll give you that.

 

My only problem with Mamoswine is I've just used it too much. Almost every playthrough I grab a Piloswine with Icicle Crash the moment I beat Shelly. It's a great 'mon and would definitely fit on the rotation but I want to try something a little different.

 

But with all that being said...
