Help with my NU team

This is going to be my NU team, can anyone give their opinions on it?

I also have one question about it, should I change earthquake on Drapion to pursuit or anything else?

Looks fine except for a few things:

• Your team is missing a volt switch stopper - obviously this isn't a must but it helps to stop your opponent from gaining momentum
• You don't need toxic on Golbat and Clefable - I would maybe replace Toxic with Taunt / Haze (Golbat)
• I would go Leftovers over Choice Specs on Eelektross, for example if your opponent switches into a Ground type you're forced to switch, which may be too risky

That Drapion set is the standard, should be fine for this meta.

• A volt switch stopper is any ground type pokemon or Lanturn right?
• Thanks, I'll use Haze then
• You're right, thanks!

Doesn't that make my team vulnerable to ground type moves? I will have three pokemon weak to ground type moves

Yes

 

Also in your response to Quinn's message - Agility increases your speed by +2 so doesn't affect its ability (Levitate), however I wouldn't really advise this.

Quinn was talking about agility on Lanturn, he doesn't have Levitate, right?

Apologies I misread the message, yes you're right.
