It looks like you made your team worse in all honesty, your previous version seemed better glued together.

You should run rock climb on tauros. Tauros is amazing because it can spam it's sheer force boosted STAB almost freely, because it's coverage hits anything tat resists. Rock climb is what makes tauros suck a good wallbreaker, and is the only real way to deal enough damage to physically defensive mons like quagsire, claydol, mesprit, etc.

Cross chop and eq together on evire is not that great, in my own opinion. You generally would prefer a fire move.

Swoobat isn't good in nu from my experience. If you really want to use it then you really want to conserve it's amazing speed tier by investing fully into speed.

I really dislike stockpile quagsire, and yet I keep seeing them. Run earthquake, it's so much better (IMO)

Your Torterra is an awkward blend of what wants to be a defensive set and what wants to be offensive. Chose one role and stick with that.

Put stealth rocks onto something (torterra, most likely) and get a hazard remover (mantine or pelipper could work as you have so many electric immunities). Your team is also incredibly weak to ice types, which have become fairly common. Abomasnow, piloswine and even aurorus 6-0 the team. Team is a bit weak to stall teams, but that could be remedied to an extent by fixing the tauros. Just a few ideas :)
