Need feedback on my 1337 pking team. If you get the references for the nicknames, you're cool in my book

In the last battle vs Xavier, my team barely made it. All but one fainted against his bug/poison team. Thanks to the VIP HopeBunnie that last Heracross had a OHKO with one Play Rough. However, there were two members of the party that did not carry there weight. I am now anxious whether or not to keep them on the team. These two often faint in battle.

Onyx with Rock Hea I plan to evolve it into a steelix, basically this is a stealth rock setter upper. It did the job. It set up stealth rock but then met an untimely demise with Beedrills drill run. Right now it knows

Dig Rock Slide Stealth Rock Slam

Infernape with Blaze. I didn’t realize the Shuckle had a mental herb. I started panicking when the Taunt wore off. Mega Beedrill out sped him and was PKed with Aerial Ace

Close Combat Fire Pledge Taunt Mach Punch

Solutions: A) Keep this team set up.
a)Try to breed an Iron Fist Infernape with Fire punch.

B) Replace infernape with lucario for a more dependable revenge killer

This will result in a lack of fire type. For more balance, onyx will be replaced with a Delphox with Magician

C) Replace infernape with Delta Scyther. I heard it is a very dependable fighting type

b) Once again, this will result in a lack of a fire type. Delphox seems to fit this role because there aren’t any decent special sweepers in the team or a psychic type

…What do you think?

Delphox can be really good cause it is pretty fast and has good special attack. The rest you can find in azumarill. Open up with a staller or azu to stall down shuckle. The mega beedrill may just not be able to oneshot you, so go at it with charizard. Do as much damage as possible. Then go back to delphox and sweep. there you go! If that didnt work, just bring revives.

Oh I forgot about the white herb on shuckle: knock off or trick. trick works wonderfully

taunt would also work

Delphox it is lol.

The mental herb cures the taunt status sadly; maybe the magician ability will counter that?

If you hit it physically… indeed!
