Replace Diancie and Altaria with rock Arceus for better stats and dusk mane-ultra Necrozma to let Rayquaza mega evolve. Give Marshadow 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe jolly to outspeed more stuff and raise physical defense slightly. Replace its feint with close combat to cover normal and dark. Give Xerneas a power herb to set up geomancy faster and 252 HP/252 SpA/4 Spe modest for better stats. Replace its endeavor, protect, and close combat with moonblast for STAB, geomancy to raise stats, and focus blast to take advantage of the special attack boost. Give Ferrothorn 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpD sassy for more bulk. Replace its knock off with protect to stall leech seed and leftovers. Replace Rayquaza's air slash with earthquake to cover rock and steel without having to lower stats.

I would go with 0 Def and 0 SpD IVs on Marshadow because it seems clear to me that you want him to survive on sash into endeavor, so you want minimal defenses. Also, I don't know if you forgot or something but you can have 0 IVs, so 0 IVs in hP too, not 1. Also, you have 2 Megas which is literally impossible, even in AG? In addition, I think your a little bit too Endeavor happy. One S Rocks on your side and half your team is useless. I also noticed you have a lot of Fairy Types. Diance is really bulky so 0 HP + Endeavor isn't going to do much except make him effectively have mediocre 31 IV Defences, so that's not going to work. Replace Diance, for a good Defog user like defensive Pelipper or something, it doesn't really matter so long as you have a Defog User, because when people run one main sweeper, they usually run a hazard setter too, like Ferrothorn or Smeargle or something, plus you need to keep your sash Marshadow to stay relevant, so I strongly recommend one. Mixed Rayquaza-Mega, isn't very viable; I would suggest a more standard D Dance set: Roost, Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Dragon Ascent. Also, 2 megas, like I said earlier, isn't allowed, so get rid of Altaria-Mega for an Unaware Wall like Clefable or Quagsire. Also, sash Xerneas is highly unorthadox and is terrible in every way, so I would go for a Power Herb + Geomancy, Moonblast, Psyshock, and HP Fire. Other than that, nothing really troubles me too much about your AG team, so I hope you take my recommendations into consideration, and that your team does well in AG.

I always use focus blast instead of HP fire for coverage
Pelipper has really bad stats and will pretty easily be one-shot by almost anything. The best defogger in AG would probably be ground Arceus (it resists stealth rock). There are also no good unaware walls in AG because every Pokemon with unaware has low stats. The best Pokemon for stopping setup sweepers would probably be primal Groudon with roar.
