Now that Champions is out I am working on team building and I have a core group of 4 that I think might be good. I'd like some advice on filling up the last two slots. Here's what I have so far, but since I'm not at home right now I know there are some details missing. Stat training and movesets are also a work in progress so feel free to suggest other layouts.

Garchomp (Rough Skin) - Choice Scarf
Max Attack and Speed
Earthquake, Brick Break, Iron Head, Protect

Corviknight (Mirror Armor) - Leftovers
Max HP, Split training between Defense, Special Defense, and Attack
Body Press, Reflect, Light Screen, not sure about last move

Greninja (Protean) - Mystic Water/Nevermeltice
Max Special Attack and Speed
Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, U-Turn/Flip Turn, Protect

Eternal Flower Floette (Flower Veil/Fairy Aura) - Floettite
Max HP and Special Attack
Light of Ruin, Light Screen, Giga Drain, Dazzling Gleam

I’d go with Iron head, Tailwind, or Roost. Depends on whether you want offensive, supportive, or defensive corviknight. Also, if you’re running body press, run max defense.

You probably don’t need two light screen users. Light of ruin is kinda dicey over something without recoil, but I understand why you might want it. I’d replace light screen with calm mind or protect.

Absolutely make sure you have a flying type of something with levitate in the back. Corv is great, but you’ll need another for sure.

Could you post the natures you’re planning on using?

Rn your team is very balanced type wise and attack special attack wise. I think you could use one more supportish pokemon and one offensive threat, with one of them being able to fly or levitate. Chandelure for offense and your choice of sableye, raichu, or whimsicott for support. Bonus for raichu since it can redirect electric moves from corv and gren. Happy team building!
 
I was thinking of taking Light Screen off of Corviknight, so I'd have one mon that does each. Also, does Corviknight have Roost in Champions? For some reason I think the move got culled :(

I'll try to find out the natures later and post them when I can :)
 
Now, according to Serebii, Roost is in. Idk why it wasn't on my radar before. I used it all the time for Corviknight in Sword.

I've had a lot of down time at work today to think about other potential partners, and I'm thinking of maybe swapping Corviknight out for another Flying type and using Orthworm with Earth Eater as my Steel type.
