Use EVs to compliment your Pokemon's roles, not cover up their deficiencies.
Also, this would be a poor team for Anything Goes. None of the Pokemon on the team are good in that format.
I recommend watching some videos of competitive battlers and it will all make sense. Right now your team could use some work, and watching strategies that are known to work is the best way to learn more about the competitive aspect of Pokemon.
Why are you not using a full team of Groudons?
Ok ill work on my team a bit and find some better mons
Groudon and Necrozma are usually good Pokemon to start with.

First of all u must state the role of each Pokemon in Ur team.
Therefore I am going to assume that this is for single battle and and this question.
generation 7 starters aren't much good in battle competitive except for incineroar in double battle.
So I would suggest u to change it with some other Pokemon such as sceptile or venusaur.
U could also use an hazard setter such as ferrothorn or heatran which also act as walls.
Last of all check your ev spread and without staying role of team or Pokemon we cannot discern the purpose of this team
And pls try to maintain a balanced or objective set team for competitive battling as it a completely different experience compared to regular gameplay.

Why are Sceptile, Venusaur, or Heatran better than Shaymin, Arceus, and Groudon?
I assumed it was for ou battle and not uber considering he didn't take any uber Pokemon
They said the team is for AG.
It's a fair assumption you made, but for one reason or another, this site attracts a lot of new players who make their team and then go to AG because they don't know what they're doing.
I would not recommend AG for new players because a certain handful of legendaries own the metagame. I’ve never played it myself, but I keep hearing Groudon is prominent in AG, which makes it seem very broken to me.
@Majin In general, it's a good idea to read other peoples' comments and answers on a question before you answer that question.
@Gross In that case, AG might be better. Less viable Pokemon means easier teambuilding, less Pokemon to choose from, and less threats to prepare for.
