Currently, i am trying to figure out the last two slots, my defensive core. Currently my Defensive mon is Landorus T due to stealth rocks, working well in a sand team, and U-Turn to boot. I chose Zapdos because i wanted a specially defensive pokemon with access to Volt Switch to complete the volt turn core. Is there anything that you recommend changing or switching from the entire team or the defensive core? Is there a better defensive core that works well with the previous 4 pokemon that i haven't noticed?
EDIT: changed the defensive core to Specially defensive bronzong and resto-chesto rotom-w
