Hey :)

Recently I've been into actually having a workable team, so I'm looking for suggestions for all aspects, I'll take any advice.

@ Toxic Orb
Poison Heal
Jolly
HP4/ATK252/SPD252
31/31/31/x/31/31

Spore
Swords Dance
Mach Punch
Thunder Punch

He's my lead, he spore's, he set's up and attacks with priority. Also soaks up statuses.

@ Kangaskhanite
Early Bird/Parental Bond
Jolly
HP8/ATK252/SPD/248
31/31/31/x/31/31

Fake Out
Power Up Punch
Sucker Punch
Earthquake

Mega-evolve, fake out, then dish out some real damage with the other moves.

@ Weakness Policy
Stance Change
Quiet

HP252/ATK4/SP.A252
31/31/31/31/31/x

King's Shield
Shadow Ball
Shadow Sneak
Flash Cannon

Soak up fighting moves that'd threaten Kanga, can deal with Psychic types that Bre couldn't.

So, the kind of advise I'm looking for is how can I improve my team? Obviously I'm building around Kanga which can ruin many teams, but can also be stopped faster Fighting types. Breloom is pretty much a glass cannon, He can set up quickly and solo many teams, but can just as easily die to an out sped fire move. Aegis is fairly sturdy, can take on most threats but is also weak to fire, which is pretty common. So essentially my team's big hurdle is Speed Boost Blaziken, which can wreck my team.

So, any thoughts?

Thunder Punch on Breloom doesn't seem too useful. You could use Seed Bomb or Facade with Poison Heal. You could also remove Swords Dance, Mach Punch and Thunder Punch and replace it Substitute, Focus Punch and Leech Seed for an annoying set that puts them to sleep + saps their health from behind Subs, but I'm more of a fan of straight up offence in the Maison. Even though you like Poison Heal for absorbing status, Technician is an equally good option. Sash Technician with Spore, Mach Punch, Bullet Seed and either Rock Tomb or SD could work fine.

That Kangaskhan looks fine. I haven't used it in the Maison, but I can't see it being bad since a lot of people use Mega Kang to beat the Maison. Priority with Sucker Punch is good, but you could replace it with Crunch to get a guaranteed hit on any Ghosts the Maison has. Fake Out could also be replaced with Return if you aren't bothered for the free Mega (Mega Kang is pretty bulky and obvs strong).

I honestly didn't like Aegislash in the Maison too much when I used it and I ended up replacing it, so I'm probably a little bias here - I just found that it barely did anything, with my Mawile and Greninja carrying every battle.

If Blaziken is a common problem then something like Azumarill or Talonflame can deal with it. Azumarill is good at Belly Drum, Assault Vest and Choice Band sets. While Talonflame you could literally do whatever you want with it since it's pretty versatile thanks to Gale Wings. Both of them also provide powerful priority for cleaning up weakened NPCs, which would somewhat lessen the need for Mach Punch on Breloom and Sucker on Kang leaving you more choice for customising their sets more.
 
@Zeb; Cheers.

Breloom - Thunder Punch was kinda just a slot filler, I'll probably take on Seed Bomb, since that deals with Water types just as well, if not better. Keeping the rest of him the same because he does work wonders, spore, SD then Mach punch can take care of many pokemon.

Kanga - I think he needs the least change. I'll probably swap Sucker Punch for Crunch, I don't think there's any real need for the priority, I'd rather have a safely landing hit. I like Fake Out, can often get an enemy down to half. EQ is great coverage, and Power Up Punch is essential.

Aegis - The one I'm not completely sure deserves a spot on my team. I might try out Azumarill, Water/Fairy is pretty fantastic typing and will probably suit my play style better. Also gives my team more room against Quicker Fire Types.

Azumarill - Never used one.

I'm thinking Huge Power, Assault Vest, Adamant. Aqua Jet, Play Rough, Waterfall and something else.
 
My Kanga has fake out, crunch, return and power up punch. PUP/Return combo on Mega Kanga is very strong.

Superpower and Knock Off are your best choices (if you have access to ORAS move tutors in the case of the latter move), so just pick whichever one you'd like.
