I've been making a VGC 2018 team, but I'm having Teambuilder's block, BIGTIME. I'll have my team down below, just suggest a Pokemon and moveset for me so I can finish up. Srry this is so long, it's my first ask.

Now keep in mind this I made this little preview on showdown, but i'm doing this in my Moon copy, so be a bit lenient. And! I have a little fire emblem inspired knack for pairing teammates toghether. So if any new answers come in, put em in, if you wanna.

Replace Krookodile with Garchomp for better stats and add Golduck to the team to abuse the rain. Give Pelipper a focus sash to set up tailwind more reliably and set up rain twice and 252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe modest to be more offensive. Replace hydro pump, surf, and defog with tailwind to speed up the team, protect to survive attempts to break the focus sash, and brine for better power and accuracy. Give Gastrodon a wiki berry to heal faster and 252 HP/252 Def/4 SpD bold for more physical bulk. Replace muddy water, earth power, and acid armor with scald for more power, ice beam to cover grass and dragon, and protect to stall. Give Tapu Fini choice specs and 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpA modest for more power. Replace moonblast with dazzling gleam to hit both opponents.
I have surf on pelliper to abuse gastrodons storm drain ability but if really needed, ill take it off
I've used the surf strat with a politoed but I feel proper does so much better. Every thing else sounds great! Thanks so much! Now I can wreck my friends!
You have more experience with that particular team than I do, so hurricane/tailwind/protect/surf is probably still better.
Could you put all the ones you changed to a little showdown format so I can format, I have very bad memory so its super hard. Or just make simpler. It just really sucks doing that kinda stuff.

I know this is really annoying, but could there possibly be other natures for these, so I don't waste time on Tapu Fini and ultra balls and breeding and blah, blah, blah. Sorry, I know this is old, but I want to be the very best. You know?
These are other good natures for each Pokemon, with the best nature listed first.
Golduck: modest, mild, rash, timid, hasty, naive
Pelipper: modest, mild, rash, timid, hasty, naive
Gastrodon: relaxed, bold, impish
Garchomp: jolly, hasty, naive, adamant, lonely, naughty
Porygon2: sassy, calm, careful
Tapu Fini: modest, rash, quiet
TheKingNappy fan?
Why, yes, I am. Sir

First, you should probably explain which changes you made and why you made them. Second, Krookodile and Vikavolt are outclassed by Garchomp because of stats and Araquanid because of water bubble.
