So I felt innovative and I wanted to make some semistall with an offensive backbone which relies on it's stalliness to break through teams.
I went with a bulky Escavalier set with 224 spdef evs maximising my spdef bulk allowing me to take on threats like clefable, gardevoir, Auru lacking overheat, syclant and other special attackers. With SD +toxic + Protect I'm able to weaken and beat mons that are supposedly meant to "wall me" like quagsire or tomohawk. Slowking then provides utility through pivoting into fire moves for Escavalier and threatening bulky water that beat escav like slowbro (which would be poisoned due to escav), navi which I can Dragon tail. Dragon tail also allows me to really weaken mons by shuffling them around on hazards. The given evs prevent a potential colo pursuit trap and allow me to take on metagrosss and diancie with much more ease. AV allows slowking to take on kerf and garde also.
Threats:
Pinsir
Magnezon/Magneton + Fairy
Ttar + Zard y
Insert stallbreaker here

2.)
I went with tomohawk here as it provides my team with a cawmodore check and ground check. Tomo has rocky helmet to punish uturners like colossoil, lando-t and scizor. Other than that we all know what tomo does.
3.)
+
Mega sab provides another form of hazard and status control through magic bounce, it's ghost typing makes for a nice spin blocker allowing me to prevent spinning from tomo which is one of the most prevalent spinners (as we all know). Wisp to cripple offensive mons and toxic for the fatter mons. Knock off allows me to stop chansey from doing what it wants to do entirely and allows me to get rid of mons potential leftovers allowing my sd escav to have an easier time breaking through. I have clef with CM and rocks for a particular reason. Rocker clef pressures spinners/defoggers like tomo, colo and latios. CM gives it that power to break through mons that have already been worn down by things like dragon tail, hazards, toxic and rocky helmet. Clef also acts as my cyclohm switchin.
4.)
Cyclohm holds a lot on it's back. Cyclohm is the teams bird check and cleric. This is nice for supporting any burns especially on my main offensive core as well as this cyclohm is here to pressure volt turn and help with rotom scizor cores which I struggle against. As well as being a bird check, cleric and anti voltturn cyclohm is my metagross check, fire check, cruci check... Ice beam is for pressuring ground types which would want to switchin in like Garchomp, Colo, gliscor and lando. Tbolt allows me to potentially ohko mega pinsir from full
