This is a team I put together on Showdown to test out before using it in game. I started with the Polteageist Shell Smash set, and I knew I wanted to use Psychic Terrain in order to deal more damage with Stored Power and protect myself from priority moves like Sucker Punch. The rest of the team I based off of Psychic Terrain, and consequently I made a team that is mostly monotype Psychic. The team doesn't have to be all Psychic, but I wasn't sure what else would synergize well with Psychic Terrain. So far I haven't done very well battling on Showdown, but I'm not sure what to change to improve my team because I'm not an experienced battler.

Here is the team:

I already think any of the psychic terrain setters are outclassed by Indeedee, which sets up Psychic Terrain instantly, if you are able to get a hidden ability Indeedee. Also, Pokemon with Unburden can take advantage of Psychic Seed. Hawlucha would be the best choice for more Acrobatics damage and an Unburden speed boost.
What format are you playing with?
Psychic Terrain isn't really a good team archetype in and off itself. It's usually support for other archetypes or even just single Pokémon. Building a team based around it probably isn't very viable
