Pokémon Rate My Team

So very recently I started breeding for competitive Pokemon and I came up with a team that I find really good but I would like if there could be some suggestions as how to make it better.

So, first I send out;

Absol @ Muscle Band
Ability: Super Luck
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Sp. Def
Nature: Lonely(+Atk -Def)
Moves:
Night Slash(STAB + High Crit Chance)
Psycho Cut(Coverage + High Crit Chance)
Swords Dance(Raises Attack)
X-Scissor(To Attack Other Dark Types)

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk/252 Spe/4 Sp. Def
Nature: Modest(+Sp. Atk -Atk)
Moves:
Scald(Not Surf because This Is Doubles)
Mat Block(To Set Up A Swords Dance On Absol)
Ice Beam(Low Chance To Freeze + Kind Of Obvious)
Dark Pulse(Chance To Flinch + Obvious Choice)

Now I send out these two first so that I can use Mat Block on Greninja so I can set a Swords Dance on Absol without it dying(fainting) in one hit. I found this really useful in my battles and I'll probably keep this strategy.

My other two Pokemon I have on my team that really help me out are;

Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Inner Focus(It came from M' in Gen 1) --> Parental Bond
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
Return(STAB + It Has Max Friendship)
Fake Out(Obvious Reasons)
Crunch(Deals With Dark Types)
Rock Slide(Chance For Flinch + I don't have Power Up Punch)

Garchomp @ Choice Band
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
Dargon Claw(Lover STAB)
Earthquake(Ground STAB)
Iron Head(MAJOR Coverage)
Outrage(Obviously)

So, can anyone rate my team for me? I have yet to try this on Showdown! but I will soon. Thank you for helping me with my team!

Why would you use Absol and Greninja when Incineroar and Milotic do their jobs better? Absol isn't worth keeping just because it has swords dance, because swords dance isn't necessary for anything in doubles. All-out attackers should be strong enough to overwhelm bulky opponents.
Give absol adamant nature.
Also, you have no reason to use 2 dark types
I'm using a sweeping team, so Incineroar and Mioltic are not options. Plus, Greninja has Protean so it will almost never be a dark type.
I'm pretty sure teams made entirely of sweepers are bad in doubles because around half of your opponents will have protect. You already have Kangaskhan and Garchomp, which are both good sweepers.
@sumwun this is the battle tree. The opponents are stupid, so no protect.
Ginny posted this team here, so I would assume he/she/it wanted to get better at team building. Even if this team was already good, I wanted to help him/her/it get better.
I suggest you get rid of Absol or Greninja because they are both Dark types. The Battle Tree trainer’s Pokémon are decided with your team.
