Xayah's idea of building VoltTurn around LO Snover caught my eye, so I'm presenting Scarf Chinchou. Good pivot, helps to keep momentum along with Mienfoo, making a pretty common VoltTrun core to help Snover to get in the field.
I am obviously completely on board with building VoltTurn here, and even agree with Chinchou as the next Pokemon. However, I think a different set could fit better

I believe bulky Chinchou is the way to go. The major draw Chinchou has for this team is the amazing defensive synergy it has with Snover, while also obviously being a VoltTurner. This set amplifies both of those parts, as it gives Chinchou more opportunities to fire off slow Volt Switches, while giving it an easier time checking the things it needs to check. Most notably, this set is far better of an answer to Flying-types, as it can switch in more than once, which currently threaten both of our Pokemon a lot (ye sure Snover can Ice Shard but that ain't OHKOing; even Dodouo lives 15/16 times from full). In addition, this set is a decent answer to the Fire- and Steel-types Ferroseed hates, and can even lure Ferroseed very easily with HP Fire. Meanwhile, it can easily Volt Switch out of the likes of Foongus for Snover to fire off a strong attack, and Snover even scares out some Ground-types.
I understand this set would make our team quite slow, but we could easily fix this by changing Foo to FastFoo or even Scarf, or adding something like Scarf Vull or Rufflet later. Depending on how the team ends up, even Abra could be a decent fit to have some Speed.
I don't really know how
Nineage handles multiple submissions for the same Pokemon or if it is even possible, but I still wanted to showcase this set.
