Milotic carries the Flame Orb to gain the defence boost from Marvel Scale and to avoid Toxic.
Scald and Ice Beam are a decent coverage, Toxic and Recover is for stalling against annoying threats.
Originally I tried to use Ampharos as a "fast" special attacker.
Being outsped by most of the Pokemon with a decent speed tier I decided to make him into a bulky pivot with Volt Switch.
It is rather simple: Take a hit and switch out.
Zydog with the Choice Band is meant as a lategame cleaner or a revenge killer.
Crunch is surprisingly useful against Pokemon like Cresslia or Necrozma.
Roserade is basically the same as Zydog but special.
Leafstorm to nuke Pokemon like Blastoise, Sludge Bomb against Grass Pokemon, HP Fire against Forretress.
With a Choice Scarf on Emboar you outspeed Pokemon like Galvantula, Shaymin, Entei, Roserade...
You can hit pretty much everything really hard with this moveset and it's ability.
Forretress is there for rocks and spikes/ toxic spikes and for the hazard removal.
It is completely physical defensive to take strong hits by everything exept of fire moves.
You can play Toxic Spikes or Spikes on Roserade but Forretress is more reliable in my opinion, but that depends on your personal preferences.
I'm not completely sure about Mega Ampharos, I thought about replacing it with another Pokemon, maybe you have some advice.
P.S.: Sorry for typos or grammatical errors, english is not my native language.
