What is Ghourgheist doing for this team that Amoonguss couldn't? Replace her with the mushroom imo, then make your sixth addition a TR setter like Cresselia or Aromatisse.
i chose gourgeist because it's good for will-o-wisp pokemon that needs burn, and good for pokemon who set up tailwind.
Be careful about Gourgeist. Anyone can just cripple it with taunt and you're stuck with using struggle.
(i'm not sure how common taunt is in VGC though)
Taunt is seen on most Sableye and every Thundurus ever. More niche users are Talonflame and Terrakion. Any team super weak to Trick Room will usually have Taunt. Sableye is probably the better option for you, though; it gets Prankster, virtually garunteeing a Wil-o-Wisp, Quash, or Taunt.
Any suggestions for another mon. I'm gonna replace gourgeist with sableye.
Actually, Gourgeist isn't half bad in VGC. I've used one before, and seen it do some crazy stuff as well. Mostly for it's Frisk which is invaluable for scouting items.
Although you're using this 'mon a... little wrong, if you don't mind my saying it. Your team looks very little like a TR team, only Conk particularly enjoys it. Are you really keen on running TR with it? If no, try throwing in Protect an attacking move instead of Trick-or-Treat (maybe Shadow Claw).
