Gen 7 Sun and Moon battle tree singles (i new to the whole competitive battle making)

Here is a team I want to use in my sun game for the battle tree. the first two sets are based on a video i found for getting through super singles fast
Pain Train (Salamence) @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate-->Aerilate
EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
Opening up with salamence for the intimidate drop, than mega evolving and starting with a dragon dance. mostly used for a physical sweeper with return and its aerilate boost, and earthquake for anything that resists flying. roost is added in case the turn I used dragon dance so I can recover before continuing the sweep (i'm not good at explaining this).
Toxic Wall (Toxapex) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Merciless
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic
- Scald
- Recover/Baneful bunker
- Haze
Toxapex is there to spread toxic and remove stat changes from the opponent. I want to run recover but also baneful bunker for a slower hp regain but longer stall. scald is put there for the crit bonus from merciless
Tapu Lele @ Ganlon Berry
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
Tapu lele is the last member and I don't know if I should keep or throw. In the case I keep, she is a special sweeper with calm mind to wall specials on the opponents side and hit hard from mine. shadow ball was added to provide coverage for gengar and chandelure.

I would like to keep salamence on the team, and maybe toxapex, but i don't know who to replace lele for if i do toss her.

This belongs in the Orange Islands discussion. RMT is for competitive teams meant for playing against real, live opponents.

As for the team itself, you should use Regenerator on Toxapex and any item over Ganlon Berry, which is an awful item. Psychium-Z would be a good option, for example. If you want bulk on Lele it is just better to invest in its EVs - Lele already hits so hard with its Psychic moves that it can afford to do so.
