I need an idea for a physical sweeper for my double battle team.

Oranguru @Sitrus Berry / Mental Herb
Nature: Relaxed (+Defense, -Speed)
Ability: Inner focus/Telepathy
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Defense / 132 Sp. Defense
0 IVs in Speed
- Trick Room
- Protect
- Instruct
- Psychic

Scolipede @Focus Sash
Nature: Jolly (+Speed, -Sp. Attack)
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP
-Swords Dance
-Megahorn
-Baton Pass
-Protect

Shuckle @Leftovers/Chesto Berry
Nature: Relaxed (+Defense -Speed)
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Defense / 128 Sp. Defense
-Shell Smash
-Guard Split
-Toxic
-Rock Slide

First, send out Oranguru and Scolipede. Have Scolipede use Swords Dance, and then have Oranguru instruct it to use it again. Next, Scolipede use protect (for speed boost), and Oranguru use Psychic. Then Baton Pass on scolipede to your sweeper, and use protect on Oranguru. Switch out Oranguru for Shuckle, and do something with the sweeper. Then have your Shuckle use Guard Swap on your Sweeper, so it's defensive stats go through the roof. Then You can either switch Shuckle back out for Oranguru, and spam Instruct, or keep Shuckle in and get some Contrary Shell Smashes, then Toxic, then spam Rock Slide

(If you have any team suggestions/replacements, please comment them too! I'm not perfect)
I need a PHYSICAL sweeper that fulfills its role in the team.
Thanks!

What kind of doubles? VGC, Battle Tree, OU, or something else?
I don't really know, I'm kinda' a noob, but I understand the game enough. Until I learn more, I just want a placeholder. But I also want it to be a good placeholder that will last a while until I understand more of the game. But thanks for asking, I just want a Pokemon to go in that spot.
I can't give you advice unless you know what rules you're using. If you don't know what rules you're using, then you should probably look them up.
Metagross. It has a really high Attack stat, decent Defence and Special Defence, and if you Mega Evolve, it's Speed also gets boosted too!
What sumwun is asking is the question below:

Are you playing Doubles on a 3DS on a Pokemon Game such as Ultra Sun, or are you playing on a website called Pokemon Showdown / Pokemon Online?
thanks, ill try metagross out. also im playing ultra moon if that helps. Thanks yall.
you make a good point

Yeet infinite flinch lock

if you do this then ur table flips you

I'm pretty sure the risk required to set it up is usually not worth it. And too many opponents have fast flying Pokemon.
Hey I got a nice metagross, he's awesome! Has anyone else got any other ideas?
(Please include Nature, Ability, EVs, and anything else you want to add. Thanks!)
You still haven't told us what format you're playing...
Oki doki, I haves done the learn, and I’m playing on OU doubles
In that case, I think you should use Kartana because it has high physical attack and can learn tailwind.

Your using a lot of protect and status moves which makes your team a stall type.
So first of all choose a good bulky physical Pokemon which can handle status .
So, they are a lot of good bulky physicals but you don’t want them to have status and weakness and your using trick room.
So I would recommend MEGA SWAMPERT. One of the Rain king and Bulk Hammer arm spammer
You don’t need to care about speed due to trick room.
You have scolipede to cover it up so why not give it a shot it’s got tremendous bulk and attk.
SWAMPERT moveset ( what I would use )
Waterfall (STAB + AMAZING with Swampert's attack)
Avalanche (for grass coverage, complements Hammer Arm)
Hammer Arm (good power and accuracy)
Earthquake (obviously
