Not exactly a fan of your team, tbh.
Inflagetah can function as an anti-lead, but it can do better things. The space that Taunt takes up can be replaced with Swords Dance or Espeed. If you're looking for a good anti-lead lead, give Astronite a try. It has everything you could want from an anti-lead, including Stealth Rock, Taunt, and even Explosion. If you want other ways to prevent hazards, try mons with Magic Bounce, such as Espeon or M-Kiricorn.
The problem with your sash idea for Oblivicorn is that even if you attempt to prevent your opponent from setting up hazards in the first place, that doesn't necessarily mean that they won't have hazards up. Even with out hazards, all it takes is just one tick of damage from priority, status, even residual damage from sandstorm/hail and your sash is useless. If you're looking to make use of Focus Sash, try Winotinger - it has Magic Guard, which prevents it from taking residual damage, making it much more reliable. Honestly, if you're so desperate for Nucleon counters to the point where you are willing to rely on gimmicks, then you might as well use Gararewl. Nucleon can't do much against that thing.
Your Nucleon set is decent enough, but HP Fire would be appreciated. Quick Attack is fairly useless on scarf spatk Nucleon.
Fafninter has decent defensive stats thanks to it's Fur Coat ability. Other than that, not much favors Fafninter in the defense category - it has terrible defensive typing and no access to reliable recovery. You're better off running a Dragon Dance or Bulk Up set on Fafninter. If you're looking for a good mon to set up hazards with, try Laissure. While it doesn't have Fur Coat, it does have Intimidate, higher base defense, and much better defensive typing. On top of that, it gets Spikes as well as Stealth Rock, and thanks to the combined power of 125 base Attack and 140 BP Subduction, it can hit a lot harder too. Overall, Laissure does everything this set does, only better. Fafninter is a good mon, but it's better put to use in different ways.
Why is Sylveon holding a Sitrus Berry? Item clause isn't a thing in most competitive enviroments. Just give it Leftovers.
Quick Charge is an interesting ability... until you realize that the mon it's on is utter garbage. You would honestly be better off using just about anything else. I mean, you already have lots of priority on your team, and Nucleon is a perfectly competent special attacker, so it's not like this thing adds anything to your team. If you want another special revenge killer, (not that you need another one, since you already have Nucleon) then you could try out Alpico. It's way better than this thing. Technician on a special attacker is kind of broken since it gives you 90 BP Hidden Power, and the fact that it's a Fairy makes it even better.
