UPDATE after quite a while of testing and speaking with KoL in chat rather than in thread.
After much testing, debate and trying of various pokemon [Lopunny, Mienshao, Bisharp, Chandelure to name a few] I've settled on this team... but really the core is in Noivern, with support from Ditto in knowing exactly what my entire opposition is fairly quickly. Noivern, Eelektross and Gengar can pick apart teams, while Steelix and Blissey tank powerful hits and chase things away like nothing else - Blissey being a surprising threat to many folks who aren't expecting the coverage it has.

I can keep this description short and sweet - I lead with either Noivern or Greninja, depending on how well the team appears it can handle Toxic Spikes in particular. Noivern Frisks, alerts me to potential trick leads as well as insight on various pokemon for the battle to come. From there the team just holds itself together with relatively balanced typings
Seismitoad seems a bit out of place here, but I was having trouble coming up with a last-slot pokemon that didn't give me a relative fairy weakness. Seismitoad makes a fine Assault Vest user and gives me water absorb for the sake of Chandelure... but he's first on my potential replacements.
Eelektross has been a fine replacement, although I'm still open to different team builds to try. Pokemon that might make particularly good use of Frisk aside from ditto. Here's an example battle of my Team in action, against an opponent who seems to really love choice items.
