New Pokemon X Singles Team?

I'm working on a new singles team, and I am looking for some input, particularly advice on the 6th Pokemon for my team. I have imagined a more defensive lineup, with Dragonite serving as the key Pokemon. This would be a competitive team for online battles.

As a side note, I'm trying to avoid legendaries if at all possible.

1) ESPEON (@Light Clay)

Ability: Magic Bounce

Nature: Timid

EVs: 252 HP, 252 Spd, 4 Def

- Reflect

- Light Screen

- Baton Pass

- Psychic

2) DRAGONITE (@Lum Berry)

Ability: Multiscale

Nature: Adamant

EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP

- Dragon Dance

- Outrage

- Fire Punch/Earthquake

- Extreme Speed

3) EXCADRILL (@Choice Band)

Ability: Sand Rush

Nature: Adamant

EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP

- Iron Head

- Earthquake

- Rapid Spin

- Toxic/Rock Slide

4) CLEFABLE (@Leftovers)

Ability: Magic Guard

Nature: Calm

EVs: 252 HP, 172 Def, 84 SpDef

- Stealth Rock

- Wish

- Protect

- Moonblast

5) SKARMORY (@Rocky Helmet)

Ability: Sturdy

Nature: Impish

EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SpDef

- Spikes

- Whirlwind

- Roost

- Brave Bird

6) ???

For the 6th Pokemon, I'm thinking either Greninja, Mega Gyarados, or Chandelure, but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!

Update:

I should clarify that although I'm playing on Pokemon X, I will have access to the move tutors on ORAS. I just won't be able to use any Mega Evolutions that were included in ORAS (i.e., Mega Sableye, Mega Metagross, Mega Altaria, etc).

    Nature: Quite

    Ice Beam

    Scald

    Dark Pulse

    Power-Up Punch

    ---

    Explanations:

    Clefable:

    Item: Pixie Plate - This would boost Moonblast

    Ability: Magic Guard

    Nature: Sassy (+Special Defense -Speed) - This would boost Special Defense, but not lower Attack as to not hurt Dig or Drain Punch in this move-set. Dig would be coverage Vs. Poison Types and Drain Punch would be coverage for Steel type + give HP back. Minimize would help make sure Clefable doesn't take big hits.

    - Moonblast

    - Dig

    - Drain Punch

    - Minimize
