Battle Maison team, looking for thoughts :D

Just wondering what people think about this team. I'm going for the battle maison for the first time in a while. Going to go for singles.

Lead:

EV spread: 252 Speed, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 Def

Mega:

Set 1 : Altaria
Ability: Cloud Nine (Becomes Pixilate)
Nature: Adamant
Item: Altariaite
IV spread: 31/31/31/X/31/31
EV spread: 64 HP, 192 Atk, 252 Speed

Defensive:

Set 1 : Slowbro

I'm up for suggestions on how to improve it and ideas on what to use. I like the combo of Nidoking and Altaria, and want to keep those two together. Hopefully I have success

I definitely don't see any gaping holes with it, that's for sure. Type wise it looks solid. I would say watch out for EQ, but you have two pokemon that can sponge that.

The first run I got to 24 in a row. Faced a choice specs Exeggcutor which survived Flamethrower and KOed Nidoking, then ran into a Roserade which was literally a perfect counter to my 2 remaining pokemon. Will probably look at tweeking a few things, but was pretty happy over

I agree with Bunsel. Looks pretty solid for Maison. Although, would you consider a Life Orb for Nidoking? Yeah you're swapping a defensive item for an offensive one but with Sheer Force, Nidoking will hit harder.

Is this THE notorious Roserade? Giga Drain, Leech Seed, Toxic, Protect. There are two Roserades in maison I believe, the more defensive one carries this set. Also pretty annoying.

No, it was an offensive one, but it resisted EQ and Return from Altaria, and outspeed and 1HKOed Slowbro with Leaf Storm. Also, I've run into this stupid Focus Sash Hypnosis Gengar 3 times now

Got to 25 this time... and then the hax begun O.O. Earth Power decreased special defense 2 turns in a row (1%) and on the same sequence, toxic missed 2 turns in a row (also 1%). Followed by back to back Crits

"This isn't your average everyday hax. This is... ADVANCED hax."
