Want to make a team of only Gen 6 Pokemon. This is what I've got so far.

Hawlucha @ Power Herb
Unburden
Jolly
Flying Press
Sky Drop
Acrobatics
Fire Punch
252 Atk 252 Spe 4 HP

Clawitzer @ Assault Vest
Modest
Water Pulse
Dark Pulse
Aura Sphere
Sludge Bomb
252 SpA 252 SpD 4 HP

Malamar @ Leftovers
Impish
Contrary
Superpower
Foul Play
Psycho Cut
Hypnosis
252 Def 252 Atk 4 HP

What should I run for the last 3 Pokemon? I'm currently debating between Pyroar, Noivern, Avalugg, Trevenant, and Heliosk. I don't really want to run an Aegislash.

Any suggestions on what this team needs would be great.

Fire Punch on Hawlucha is redundant coverage. Flying/Fighting hits everything Fire would hit. Change that for Swords Dance so you can possibly sweep or Encore for team support.

Clawitzer is not bulky enough defensively to warrant an Assault Vest. Without investment in HP it's going to get obliterated by any faster physical attacker. If you want to keep the Vest, get 252 HP instead of SpD. Also Sludge Wave is stronger than Sludge Bomb.

There's absolutely no fucking point in your Malamar set. Why are you going to use Superpower and then Foul Play when you're raising your own attack? Get either a Careful or Adamant nature, change Foul Play for Night Slash, and put those Def EVs in HP. When you're boosting a defensive stat, it's much better to invest in HP because the effects are multiplicative. Also Hypnosis is too unreliable on a slow, not-too-bulky Pokémon such as Malamar, so I'd go with another coverage move or Trick Room, if you want to keep Topsy-Turvy. (You're never going to make good use of Topsy-Turvy without Trick Room though, I warn you)

OP no offense but competitive wise that team won't stand a chance against the current meta. Hawlucha is too weak without SD. Clawitzer is too squishy and slow, and what is with that Malamar set?

The Clawitzer build seems fine, not sure about the rest though.

Thats what I run on my Clawitzer and it took a solar beam to the face and only lost 30%.
