XY OU Farewell Smog Frog - Need Help After NinjaBan

So , this is my first smogon post , and I need help fixing this team up after NinjaBan

This team started with me wanting to use mega Lop

High Jump Kick is a great move for Lopunny dealing alot of damage to most of the pokemon in ou.
Also having Ice punch is great seeing as it deals with most of what HJK cant.
Fake out is almost a must on Lop , because A gaurenteed first hit for free is great and expands its kill potential. Lastly we have Return a great STAB move for normal types and gives Lop more to work with when her other moves are resisted.

Now , this has to be one of my favorite sets of all time , It is a very interesting physical wall that can help me get some rocks damage with roar. It is just a great tool for widdling down mons to setup a sweep. And if it dosnt come to you immediately the reason it is a physical wall is its ability intimidate , which lowers the opponents attack stat by one stage making mega gyara's def seem like alot more than usual.

My reasoning for having ferrothorn is that I need to widdle down the opposing team for Lop and Ninja to Sweep easier. I run Gyro and Whip because it is uncommon to have both and usually catches something for a decent chunk , and leech seed for the usual Seed and stall.

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs

Next up , I wanted a defogger , I went Latias over Latios Because My team needs things to switch into moves so that Lop and Ninja don't sustain too much damage. Healing wish is great because if I no longer need Latias I can Sacrifice it to heal any of my Pokemon that have not fainted. Draco Meteor is an amazing move for Latias That deals good damage to almost anything. And then there is psyshock to kill off Conk and other Fighting Types that trouble my team.

Here he is , the soon to be UberFrog.
He served his purpose as a simply amazing offensive Mon.
Protean allows him to have STAB on every move that he has at his disposal.
Hydro pump is there for Things that are weak to water.
Gunk shot Deals alot of damage to fairies if is dosnt flat out kill them.
Ice Beam Deals good damage to flying and grass types , and Dark Pulse Tears through most Ghost and Psychic types

Last but not least , we have Conk.
Having somthing for ferro other than Mega lop was a must.
and as I said before I needed things that could switch into moves , and Id say AV Conk dose that pretty well , It Hits hard and recovers with drain punch.
Gets rid of items and Demolishes Ghost and psychics.
Kills Lando without Max Hp Max Def with Ice Punch.
And has STAB priority in Mach Punch making for a pretty formidable Pokemon.

- Ice Punch

Sorry if this RMT was sloppy , it is my first post on smogon.
Please reply with suggestions and creative criticism , because I don't want to give up on this team just because of ninja being banned.

Please make sure to read the RMT Rules before making a post.
You need a brief 3-4 sentences describing each of your Pokemon in detail.
If these rules are NOT followed, this post will almost be guaranteed to get locked.
Until then, I will not rate your team at my own choice. If you do change it, I will rate. it.

Thanks. :]
 
Agreed, I haven't seen Magnezone on teams other than Mega Diancie cores. Which are getting more rare with Greninja gone. Mainly Mega Altaria now. But I would change Ferrothorn's EV Spread to 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 Sp Def with a Sassy Nature. On Greninja, run 40 Atk / 216 Sp Atk / 252 Spe with a Naive Nature to OHKO Fairies like Azumarill and Sylveon. Run 72 HP / 168 Sp Atk / 252 Spe w/ a Timid Nature on Latias for more balk.

EDIT: Only use Ninja set if you keep it for other tiers.

Hope it helps.

OK, Magnazone isn't that common anymore...
Anyone can set-up on Ferrothorn no matter what item, firehusky.
Seriously, I don't know if you are trolling or whatever, but seriously, learn to read...
I said that after magnezone gets the free kill on ferrothorn, then it's set up fodder for the stuff I mentioned.
 
Thanks for the replies , i'll be taking any suggestions and testing them out , and I have found from prior Experience that magnezone isn't common enough to waste my item on countering it.
