This is actually a fun trick to use skill swap telepathy to the poke in the middle and then i can explode or earthquake without worry. Psychic is stab and energy ball is for water types.

On your lampert, why do you have 4att and no physical moves? This team can also fall to repeated earthquakes and surfs. Also, isn't rocks not as important in triples, because less switching and more shuffling?

Don't forget Telepathy.

Also, I found Duosin works on NU TR teams, maybe replacing Lampent.

Three of your pokes wouldn't appreciate an EQ from something but Gigalith is gonna be dead in a while so 2/5 pokes wouldn't appreciate an EQ. Maybe Gurdurr can take it but I suggest adding a resistance or immunity. Eelektross maybe? It's slow and yells pure special/mixed sweeper.

Even still this team has taken down countless Ou ***** teams I guess I could replace hitmontop with throh

While I seriously approve of you using the greatest pokemon ever in the name of Hitmontop, its two tiers ahead of NU. You could try using Tauros, which also has intimidate(although Sheer Force is arguably better, I don't think its available yet), and even though it doesn't have priority, it does have nice speed for NU. Just keep it out of Trick Room.

Just bumping also tauros is way too fast plus team just went through major remodeling

Throh has Storm throw twice. Also, ground types will really eat this team. Perhaps a low speed EV Lapras? It does have the ability to make use of the lovely BoltBeam combo.

Arbok is helpless against steel types. Perhaps Fire Fang or Earthquake instead of protect to counter balance. Magneton is an ever common threat in NU since it performs well with Eviolite.

You can use gunk shot with arbok cause coil boost it to 91% accuracy! (in hope he survives) and with 180 BP but the PP is low ... he won't be long anyway...

Use Rock Slide on Gigalith if he's in the middle.

Stealth rock in triples? Swap outs aren't common in doubles/triples, and in triples especially, only half the team will take SR damage.

I agree, gunk shot. Though Arbok is bulky enough to take hits in NU.
