I am trying to get better at competitive Pokemon right now, and I want to know if my team is good for Gen 9 Anything Goes.

Kingdra @ Scope Lens
Ability: Sniper
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 100 HP / 252 SpA / 156 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Agility
- Focus Energy
- Draco Meteor
- Flash Cannon

This Kingdra is a crit set. It has Scope Lens, to increase the chances of a crit, and with Focus Energy, it can land 100% crits. It also has Agility to outspeed, and it can counter fairy types with Tera Steel, and Fash Cannon.

Cloyster @ Eject Pack
Ability: Skill Link
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Shell Smash
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast

This Cloyster is kind of weird. It is support for Vaporeon. So this Cloyster is very slow, and it has eject pack for a reason. Eject Pack switches out the Pokemon once one of their stats are dropped. Then once it uses Shell Smash lastly, then it switches out. Cloyster has to be very slow.

Vaporeon @ White Herb
Ability: Water Absorb
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Copycat
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball

Vaporeon is pretty difficult to set up, but it can maybe be a beast once it is set up. So after Cloyster uses Shell Smash, Vaporeon switches in. Then Vaporeon can use Copycat, and it can cop Shell Smash. Once it does it has a white herb to get rid of the defense drops.

Gliscor @ White Herb
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake

This Gliscor is pretty cool to be honest. So this Gliscor can set up with Swords Dance, then it can use Scale Shot which boosts speed, but lowers defense. But with White Herb, it can get rid of the defense drop, and now it's speedy, and hits hard. Plus Acrobatics can dominate by having no item, with plus 2 attack, with Tera Flying, then it's game over for your opponent.

Hydreigon @ Scope Lens
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Focus Energy
- Draco Meteor
- Flash Cannon

This Hydreigon is the same as Kingdra, but more defensive, and it hits harder.

Tauros-Paldea-Blaze @ Liechi Berry
Ability: Cud Chew
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Trailblaze
- Endure
- Reversal
- Raging Bull

This Tauros is hard to set up. It has Trailblaze for some chip, and for a speed boost. Then it has endure so it can live on 1 Hp, which activates Liechi Berry, which boosts Atk by 1. With the ability Cud Chew then it can re-eat the berry next turn. With reversal. it can do a lot of damage, and Raging Bull to destroy screens.

Competitive team rates belong in the Rate My Team section: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/rmt/ask
Additionally, here are some resources that you can use right now, without waiting for someone to rate your team:

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ag-viability-rankings-update-post-76.3724219/
To save you the trouble, this team would be closed again on RMT. Gen 9 AG is an unrestricted format where the meta revolves around legendaries like Calyrex, Arceus, Koraidon/Miraidon. This team is not competitive with those.

In future, try researching which battle format you want to play first (OU is a good starting point), then doing some research on what mons are good in that format. There are sample teams and viability rankings for all popular formats.
