:Cycle 3:
-Balancing Act-
Playing complimentary roles via typing, this core will involve Pajantom and Ferrothron. With a more offensive presence available in Pajantom and a classic utility option with Ferrothorn leaving the empty slots open for plenty of tinkering, I'm interested to see how much variation occurs between personal building styles.

Explanation

Pajantom - The heavy offensive presence on the team; Spirit Shackle, EQ, and Psychic Fangs allow it to hit a wide range of threats while Z Psychium further augments its breaking power against Tomohawk and Argh. Lastly, I was fishing for a last move, and Leech Life helps a bit against non-Sucker Punch Colo and other Dark Types.

Ferrothorn - The physical wall for the team; Spikes provides entry hazard variety alongside Rocks on TTar, and Knock Off helps to cripple mons who switch in to beat it. Leech Seed for a bit of additional stall/recovery potential, and the admittedly odd choice of Gyro Ball, just because I personally prefer it over power whip for catching fast fairies and Cruci.

Blacephalon - The sweeper/revenge killer; it hits hard and scarf makes it fast. Not terribly much to say about it. Again, Psychic for those fighting type tanks and Mollux.

Tomohawk - A bit of an awkward set, it serves as a natural way to deal with Colo, which heavily pressures everything else but Ferro. Healing Wish for restoring pressure in Paj, TTar, Blace, or Mage is a blessing in tight spots, and Toxic serves to help wear down threats the team can't deal with in a turn or two. The SpD investment helps ease the pressure suffered from special attackers, splitting it across Tomo, Paj, TTar, and Mage.

Tyranitar - Sand helps alleviate some pressure from Rain teams, while Pursuit, Stone Edge, and Fire Punch offer a good amount of coverage to deal with a decent amount of Pokémon. It's also the team's rocker, but other than that, it's a TTar doing TTar things.

Magearna - The bulky special attacker for the team. CM helps overcome any set-up or stall wars along with Fleur Cannon. Flash Cannon for opposing fairies and Aura Sphere for steels round out the set.
